Owing to the wonderful growth of east
ern Washington during the past 10 years
1t is predicted by Census Supervisor
Storeh that Washington will be entitled to
six representatives instead of three as at
present, according to the new enumera-
ton. The Third district. in which Spokane
Is located. had a population of $4,000 In
1900, but this has been more than doubled
In the past 10 years. According to the
census enumerator 1t is reasonable to ex-
pect that this district will show popula-
ton of >ver 100000. with Spokane holding
600 of that number. The census of 1900
give the city of Spokane $685.. which.
according to the latest figures, shows that
the city has quadrupled in population
in 10 years. THE census will tell story
of marvellous growth" said Mr.. Storch.
'-and both the city and surrounding coun-
try will show wonderful increase that
doubt will be equalled by any other Sec
ton of the United States
Chief Statistician Hunt has been in the
city for some days comforting with the
enumerators and supervisor and made the
prediction that the new census would
make great difference in the next
House of representatives.
