Oregon Immigration Push Heralds Statewide Growth
Immigration experts predict Oregon’s population will double in five years as over 2,000,000 pamphlets are pledged by the Harriman syndicate to advertise the state. A Sunday concert program is suggested to attract settlers, with committees in Polk County planning joint pamphlets for Independence and Dallas. Oregon’s 1900 Census shows 413,436 residents, 44 per square mile, with 184,000 in cities and 229,000 rural residents statewide.
