fee of S1.00.
If the motor vehicle was not reg

New Questions Added to
1880 Census Blanks; Data
to be Kept Secret so Years

The presses in the public printing
office in Washington are now running
off permanent forms for recording
the name, address, and 26 interesting
facts about every man, woman and
khild in the United States. The first
of the new record sheets for the 18th
decennial census to be taken during
April were made available at the CEN
sus bureaus of the different countries
short time ago.
A total of 2,750,000 large blanks or
Schedules" each on which will ac-
commodate names and facts concern
ing 100 people, will be printed dur
ing the next few weeks. Paper of
extra good quality has been selected
to stand the wear and tear Of use in
tabulattion and to preserve for an in
definite number of years to come the
census records for the benefit of fut-
ure genealogists and historians who
may be interested in tracing ances-
tors and in studying the social strata
of the United States in 1880.
The new schedules resemble in gen.
eral those which have been used in
the past several censuses, but certain
differences are to be noted in the
questions asked. More changes are
to be found in the information to be
collected this time than have been
made for several censuses, officials
of the census bureau said, although
it was pointed out that most Of the
information collected by census tax
ers must be the same from decade to
decade if the various censuses are to
have value for purpose of compari-
sons.

in 1920 have not been included on the

With but short time remaining in
which persons will be permitted to
drive motor vehicles without having
applied for licenses, owners of cars
are experiencing difficulties in OBJ
tanning licenses due to carelessness,
loss of certificates attesting to pay
ment Of taxes or failure to remit
money orders, express orders or GER
titled checks in payment of fees. Per-
sonal checks will not be accepted by
the state registrar of motor vehicles
All questions as to the intent and
provisions Of the state laws relating
to the registration of motor vehicles
have been set at rest by interpreta-
ton of authorities that applications
for licenses must be filed before Jan.
1 of each year. Many persons have
contended in previous years that no
necessity existed for securing licenses
before May l.
Carelessness on the part of many
car owners has resulted in Difficult
ties and in the work of county Of
fices being materially increased.
Numerous persons, it was learned,
have lost the certificates attesting to
payment of 1929 taxes on their ma
chimes and without such certificates
no licenses can be issued by the reg
istrar of motor vehicles.
Irregularities as to titles, trans
fers, etc, have complicated matters
further.

This week drillers at the Ohio
Oil Well, No. 2, in the Dry Creek
field, penetrated the Frontier
sands at a depth of approximate
ely 1890 feet and obtained good
flow of natural gas, although the
exact amount has not been deter
mined as yet.
According to reports from the
well the gas flow is gradually
increasing as drilling is continu-
ed. The well had reached the
depth of 1927 feet yesterday af-
terneon.
The No. well is producing
flow of about 100000 cubic
feet of wet gas at the present
time.
Gas pressure at well No. l, one
mile west of the No. 2 well, recently
increased its pressure from 1900
pounds to 1,400 pounds. Last week
the natural gas was partially shut
off of the Elk Basin-Billings line af-
ter several weeks of supplying Bill
ings with fuel, and the pressure has
since increased to LOO pounds. Near

going into the Billings line at the

ed. No questions will be asked as to
whether the home is mortgaged, nat
uralized citizens will not be called on
to give the year in which they obtain
ed their citizenship; nor will foreign
born persons be asked the native tom
que of their father or their mother.
The new questions to be asked are
as follows:
What is the value of the home, if
owned, or how much is the rent if the
house is rented?
Is there a radio in the home?
Is the person enumerated employed
on the day he is canvassed? !?
Is he veteran Of the United States
military or naval forces?
If the person is married, how old
was he at the time of his first mar
riage?
Group Families
The question about the value of the
home will make it possible to group
the families of the country according
to their purchasing power and econ
omic standing. The potential buying
public is to be classified for the first
time. The information obtained is
expected to be particularly valuable
to manufacturers and mercahnts
planning to expand into new terri
! tory.
The radio question will be asked to
find out how large the radio audience
is in this country. Guesses on this
subject have varied most widely,
whereas correct information in this
regard is considered very desirable
by public and private organizations
alike.

One of Montana's earliest settlers

The early day inhabitant, however,

for his remains date back more than
50,000,000 years and he roamed the
mountains and fields of Carbon coun-
ty back about the time the first man
was in semiemergence from the
swamps and jungles.
The old-timer hos not yet been
identified; partly because of the fact
that the Bes1creek physicians find

and a number of ribs, all solidly en-

Before actual knowledge of the
species may be obtained, Dr. Seig-
