Census Is Surprising.
The figures of the result Of the recent
census enumeration Of the Dirstrict prov
ed to be good deal Of a surprise to per-
sons who are familiar with conditions
during the past decade. The increase in
the population did not reach the expected
level. 1t had been estimated the count
made by the United States would show
an annual addition during the past ten
years of between six and seven thousand
persons. The increase shown was 5,235.
The corresponding figures for the dec
ade from 1890 to 1900 are 1882. While
the growth does not come up to expec-
tations. yet 1t is recognized that it repre-
Sents a remarkable advance in the city.
1t is pretty hard to have concrete no.
ton of what such an increase In the
number of inhabitants of a city means.
One way to get at 1t is to call to mind
towns that have a population Of four or
five thousand. When one thinks of such
body being made a part of the city dur
ing the past ten years then 1t is realized

to some extent at least how the city has

Active Home Market Deceiving.
One cause Of the miscalculation has
been the extremely active market for
housing accommodations. Individual
houses as we'll as apartments have been
built during the past decade to an extent
that seems almost incredible when one
views the situation IS a whole. But that,
or course. Is only a part Of the story and
perhaps the least important part, for as
every one knows. neither houses or apart
ments would be built unless there are
people to go into them. The latter is the
marvellous fact Of the past ten years.
1t has been supposed that much Of the
house buying, In fact, most Of it, came
from people who were newcomers to the
city. and on that score mainly it was
thought the increase in the population
must be very large. Now that the actual
facts are known it Is seen that the mar
ket for houses has come from the people
already here. In other words, the resi-
dents have largely turned their attention
to home buying.
Home Owners Numerous.
1t would be interesting to show the per-
centage Of home owners to the entire
relative to such condition in other
cities. 1t seems very probable that Wash
ingtOn has a high rank as a city of home
owners. and therefore Possesses an ele-
ment of stability and permanency that is
recognized as of vital importance. There
is no part of community. taken As
class, that has higher qualities of good
citizenship than those who own or are
on the way to own their homes.
AS rule. people of this class know
what self-denial means. and have also
learned something of thrift and prudence
in making the best use of an income.
They live within their means. and what
is more, manage to Law by something
each year, and thus they become self-re-
liant and independent Their interests
are bound up with those of the commu-
nifty, and hence they take a part in
public affairs and contribute in securing
the observance of the laws and the pres
ervation of public order and the carry
ing out of liberal policies of public inn
provements.
