San Francisco Section: The story of the strange, weird people called Cliff Dwellers (q.v.) is a most interesting chapter in the history of the efforts of man to use this region for a home. At present the population of this whole section is small. A large portion has less than two inhabitants to the square mile. About one-tenth of the whole Rocky Mountain area in the United States has from two to six inhabitants to the square mile; in some places in California, Oregon and Washington there are from six to eight; near the cities from 18 to 45, and in the San Francisco section from 45 to 90.
