The Dalles shows gain of nearly 800
When the Government census, showing
that city to have a population of less
than 5000, was announced, the indig
nant citizens decided to ignore the
official figures and make a recount.
The handsome increase in population
shown by the local enumeration makes
the people of that enterprising East

while. VIII Dallas follow the lead of
