i'll which the truce is to be effective,
the zone to be comprehensive.
The general opinion in official
circles was that the amicablc settle
ment Of the Mexican revolution would
relieve the United States OF the neces-
sity Of making any move in response
to protests of American citizens re
garding the warfare President Taft
and his cabinet were pleased to learn
that peace in Mexico was in prospect
An evidence Of the desire for peace
was the issuance tonight OF two state
ments, one by the Mexican embassy
and the other by Dr. Gomez, declar-
ing, in substance, that neither side
had taken the initiative in proposing
the armistice. 1t was inferred an eff
fort was being made to forestall the
possible cry OF triumph or victory
for either side.
DR.. Gomez said that armistice pro.
posals had not been made originall,
by the rcvolutionists, but inter
mediate parties had suggested the
idea.
The Mexican ambassador issued .
statement indicating that the Mexica,
government was sincere III it's desire
to bring about peace and also givine
the assurance that his government hat
not taken the initiative.
The effect was to prevent IN,
charge that the government in Mex
leo had yielded to the force OF arms
contingency which, II IS believed
revolutionists, as we'll as fcderals, ar
anxious to avoid.

Safe and Sound.

A forest fire. which could be plain
ly seen from this city last Saturday,
caused the spreading of report that
Grass Range was being destroyed, but
in a telephone message from that
place to the Democrat, it was stated
that, like the reported death of Mark
Twain several years ago. the story
was greatly exaggerated" that Grass
Range is safe, sound and thriving
The blaze was evidently forest con-
6agration and. so far as learned, no
particular damage was done.

he returns OF the tNrteentn
United States census shows a great
growth for Montana in the past 10
years. The population Of the state
has increased from 243,32o in 1900 to
376O53 in 1910 The state now has
nearly three times the population it
had 20 years ago. The census fig
ures OF the population Of Montana
from 1870 to date are as follows: In
1870, 2O,5o5; in 1880, $3.50; in 1890,
132,l5o;-in 1900, 243,32o; in 1910, $780,
O53. The census shows that the II
states on the Pacific slope, including
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada,
Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Cal
ifornia, show gain in population Of
2,734,567, which is an increase in 10
years OF 68 per cent. Nowhere else
in the country has this gain been ap-
preached except in the single instance
Of Oklahoma. According to the fig
ures Of percentages given out by the
census bureau at Washington, the
New England states have since 1900
increased 17.2 per cent. in population,
the south 1913 per cent, the central
states about Is per cent. and the Pa
cific slope states 688 per cent.
Montana Leads Utah.
There are only four states on the
Pacific slope that have more popula-
ton than Montana, namely, Cali
fornia, Washington, Colorado and
Oregon; and six states that have less
population than Montana: Utah,
Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico
and Wyoming. Montana has greatly
outstripped Utah in population gain
in the past 10 years. In 1900 Utah
had 80, ,42O more population than Mon
tana, and the census of 1910 shows
that Montana now has 2,7O2 more
population than Utah. This puts the
two states neck and neck with the
showing in population at present If
favor Of Montana and with an i'm
mense advantage to this state since
1900 as regards percentage of in
-crease, the gain for Montana being
545 per cent. and that for Utah $40
During the past 10 years, Montans
has gained 1924 i'll population ane
in the same period Utah gained &C.,
6O2.
| It has been given out from Wash
ington on careful estimate of ths
census returns that an apportionmen
of 235,233 Of population and majo
fraction in each state would keep th'
house membership within the limit 0
400. On the 1910 census returns Mon
tana would have another congressman
according to those figures, California
would gain two, Washington two am
Oregon one.
There are now 10 states and terri
tories in the union that have less pop
ulation than Montana. as follows
Utah, Vermont, District of Columbia
New Mexico, Idaho, Delaware, Ha
