HOUSES FOR RENTING PURPOSES
ARE EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE HERE

The scarcity of desirable houses in
Lewistown for rental purposes has
become a real problem. Almost ev.
cry modern house in town offered for
rent is tenanted and many families
coming in are glad to take what they
can get, modern or not. It Is reported
that one farmer near Benchland, after
attempting in vain to find a house in
Lewistown, for the winter, has decided
to take his family to Great Falls, so
his children may attend scheol.

Cologne Instead of Liquor

PETRoGRAD. June 2s.-The bill pro.
viding for the permanent prohibition OF
vodka came up in the Duma yesterday Tor

Quoting the figures covering II months
of 1915, in which, despite the prohibitory
regulations, nearly 100000 vedros-a
vedro equaling three and one-quarter gal
lons-of Government liquor had been sold,
one speaker asserted that drunkenness was
becoming as prevalent as before the war,
and declared that measures should be taken
to strengthen the laws now in operation.
Drunkenness. continued the speaker,
also had been increased by the inhibition
Of large quantities of furniture polish. eau
de cologne and other substitutes for liquor,
consumed by the peasant population.
The measure making the prohibition per-
manent will be put to a vote at an early
date, and 1t is expected will be passed with
little opposition.

MORE THAN 100000 MEXICAN
RESIDENTS Of UNITED STATES!
MAJORITY OF POPULATION FROM SOUTHERN REPUBLIC
IS cENTERED IN FOUR BORDER CITIES BUT MANY
ARE SCATTERED OVER COUNTRY AND SOME ARE
SERVING IN UNCLE SANS ARMY.

Washington, D. G. July 3.-More
than half a million Mexicans are resi-.
dents of the United States!
When the census was taken in 1910,
there were 394,115 persons of Mexi-
can birth or Mexican parentage in the
country. OF these, 221,915 were born
in Mexico and 162,200 had one or both
parents born in Mexico.
Just what the increase has been
since is not known exactly, but is
rated at So. per cent, which would
mean $4,000 Mexicans are resident
in the states. -.u.. .....
In 1890 there. were only 1883 per-
sons of Mexican birth or parentage in
the population of the United States.
BY 1900 this number had grown to
103,393, an increase of 1928 per cent.
Between 1900 and 1910 the increase
was 1146 per cent, but census Off
Gals say this large increase has not
held good for the past six years.
AS might be expected, the bulk Of
the Mexican population is in the four
border states, Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona and California. But many
Mexicans are scattered over the coun-
try, especially in the west. Some are
to be found as far north as Wiscon-
sin.
There are Mexicans in the United
States army, too!
The war department does not know
how many because such information
has never been compiled except in the
classification of "White," negro and
Indians" ...
According to the 1910 census, there
were at that time 232,92O persons Of
Mexican birth or parentage in Texas;
q, 94S in New Mexico; 51,1O2 in Ari-
IONA, and 51,037 in California, total
of 357OO7, or 81 per cent of all the
Mexicans in the United States.
A special census, taken in January,
1916, for Ell Paso, showed that of a
total permanent population of 61,S9S
over half, 529 per cent, were Mexi-
cans, who numbered 32,724.
In addition, and not included in the
permanent population, there were
then at iEl Paso 1851 refugees, OF
whom 6,555 were Mexicans, making
