THE MONTANA CENSUS.

The thirteenth federal census will be
only the fifth official enumeration OF
residents of Montana. Prior to 1870,
Montana had no place in the census
reports, it's organization as q terri.
tory having been effected in 1854. Six
years later, residents of Montana were
rounded up by the census man, who
reported their number as 20, sos for the
entire territory OF $4,000 square
miles.
In the census of 1880, the populs-
ton of Montana al returned in the
federal census as 80, 159, an increase
of about 80 per cent. Ten years later,
according to the federal census of
1890, there we're 1872, 1853 people In Mon.
