The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-01-07
9{ooa yer Glacier
THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1904.
Our Population---14 1406.

The GLACIER man mas lnaue nIS dhuu-
al round up of the number of inhabi-
tanis Of Hood River and finds that the
year 1904 begins with our population
grown TO l4O6. This is the fifth census
taken by the Glacier. Commencing
with January ], 1900, we had !622; 1901,
ISL; 1902, s61; 1908, 1901. The city has
been carefully canvassed, and every
house where the occupants were not
known has been visited. The gain of
3l5 over last year shows a healthy in
crease, though some people may be
disappointed, thinking the gain should
be greater. Our population has been
estimated as high as 1000. II people
did not move from the town, with the
newcomers constantly arriving We
would soon have the 1000 or more.
Compare the directory given below with
the one published year ago, and 1t
will he found that good many famil-
les you hnOw have moved away. Some
have gone to the country, while Others
have left the valley entirely. The coun-
try is gaining in population faster than
the town. This is TO be expected. Our
valley is known for its excellent fruit,
for which the highest prices are paid
in the markets of the world. NewcOm-
ers arriving come here to buy fruit land
and to engage in fruit culture. There
is no inducement for the average new
conner to locate in the town, however
much it may be admired as place OF
residence, If there are no means foI
earning a livelihood. In the summer
season, at least during the strawberry
harvest, our population is augmented
by a floating body Of people who are
here today and gone tomorrow. The
real population is here to stay winter
and summer, therefore January l is q
good time to make the count. The OBJ
ject of the census taker each time has
been to get the exact number of our in
habitants. He counted none but bona
fide residents, January l, and was very
careful not TO miss any one who should
I've counted. The heads of families and
all young people earning a salary are
given near as could be in the following
