Los ANGELES MAKES
GREAT CENSUS GAIN
Population of slope City In
creased 211 Per Cent.

Due to the efforts OF its chamber OF
commerce and to the desire of its indi-
vidual citizens 10 let the world know OF
its wealth OF climate and commercial
advantages. the city of Los Angeles, Cal,
has shown the greatest increase in popu-
lation of any city in the country since
1890
At the time Of the 1890 census the popu-
lation Of the most thriving city on the
Pacific Coast was only $685.. ip 1900 it
was lo2.47s, and now 519.lsS. gain of 2ll
per cent in a decade.
The latest enumeration is a surprise 10
the best-informed citizens OF Los Angeles
TO its mayor, and TO it's chamber of COM
merce. Since 1880 the cry issued by
pamphlet and press of the city has been
for population of 300.O00 Real estate
values have hung on this figure for their
increase.
With the attainment of the 100000 the
real estate men expected the fulfllment
of their greatest desire. but Just how they
will feel and just how high real estate
values will jump as a result of the new
figure is a question.
The growth of the city has been due
entirely to the preservation and exploit
tation OF its wonderful advantages by men
who believed in its future and were will
ing to stand together for its good.
