Give Housinq
Units In Stute

Director William Lane Austin
of the Bureau of Census, De-
partment of Commerce, recent
ly released figures represent
ing the revised count of dwell
ing units in Montana from the
Housing Census.
Of the 177,529 dwelling units
is Morsbana. on April l, 1910,
13,199 or IA per cent, were va
cant and for sale or rent (theSe
present the commercially sig
nificant vacancies), while 1885,
977 dwelling units were occu-
pied by households enumerated
in the population census at
their usual place of residence.
The remaining group of 4,353
units represent roughly the
remainder of the units shown
as vacant in the preliminary re-
lease) was made up for the
most part of vacant units be-
ing held for absent households,
though it included also a few
units temporarily occupied by
nonresident households, that is,
by households which reported
that their homes were located
elsewhere. Seasonal as well as
ordinary dwelling units are in
Guided in all OF these figures.
OF the total number of dwell
ing units in Montana, 37.9 per
cent were located in urban pla-
ceS, that is, in incorporated
places having $500 inhabitants
Or more; and 62.1 per cent were
in rusal areas, that is in the
open country or in places nav
ing less than $500 inhabitants.
Only 4 per cent of the urban
dwelling units were vacant and
for sale or rent, as compared
with 9.5 per cent of the rural
dwelling units.
In Big Horn county, a total
of 1882 dwelling units were
counted. OF these, 2,518 were
occupied, and only 139, or So
per cent were vacant and for
sale or rent. Other vacant un-
its totaled IS.
Dwelling units vacant and for
sale formed 5.4 per cent of all
dwelling units in Helena, and
"a per cent in Butte.
The number of occupied dwell
ling units represent approx
mately the number of private
households in the respective ar
cas- and may be compared
roughly with the number of
private families shown in the
census reports for 1880. Such a
comparison reveals that the
number of private households
increased approximately 17.4
per cent, as contraSted with the
Al per cent increase shown in
population between 1880 and
1910. Hence, the average size OF
the private household in Mon
tana has decreased since 1880
which is consistent with the
general trend throughout the
country toward smaller average
size of family or household. The
avearge number of persons pei
occupied dwelling unit in 194(
was 3.5 for the state as com.
pared with an average popula.
ton per family of 3.95 in 1880.

Con Fool Warden
But MOI Science

E. r. Powell of Billings is no
doubt ready to testify that a
game warden may be fooled,
but not a scientist.
Recently Powell was arrested
on suspicion of possessing hen
pheasants. Since the birds he
had were skinned and cleaned,
Deputy Warden Carl Benson
couldn't be sure of their sex.
Consequently he forwarded
them to the State Livestock
Sanitary board, where a tech
nician identified them as hens.
Powell pleaded guilty and was
fined $110.

OFFICIALS THANK BUSINESS men
FOR AID IN Street DECORATION
Totdl Cost Of Project
Is Almost Covered
By Contributions

The committee in charge was
short only $21.5O Of the totai
amount expended for decorat-
ing the streets of Hardin in
keeping with the season, it was
announced.
There are a few other bust
ness houses which the COM
mittee has not yet reached, and
it was thought that the total
would undoubtedly be raised.
Expenses were $578, and con-
tributions have totaled 1856 so.
An itemized account of the
expense is as follows: Hardin
Electric service, 4,5OO feet of
wire, sockets, bulbs, labor and
installation, $685.; DeMolay,
evergreens, $35; Brekke's gro
Gerry, trees, $3.50; Modern Ne
on Sign company, stars, $40;
labor, $3.50.
The hope was expressed that
the business men might be will
ling to contribute again next
year so that enough lights may
be installed to cover the entire
business section, and that sew
eral more stars may be pur-
chased so that one may be hung
at each of the main intersec-
tons.
The mayor and city council
of Hardin wish to thank the
merchants and citizens of the
city for the spirit in which they
gave to make the decorating of
the city possible and to submit
a financial statement.
Sam T. Meeke was chairman
of the committee in charge.

xx1NSUS Count
Final Revised Figures
For 1910 Census
Are Revealed

According to figures released
from the Bureau of Census at
Washington, D. c., the official
population Of Hardin is 1885, as
compared to 1859 in 1880. Big
Horn county has increased L.
876 in population.
The 1880 county for this
county was 8,543, and the offic-
ial 1910 figures are 10,419.
Between 1880 and 1910, Mon
tana's urban places grew more
rapidly than in the previous
decade, while the rural areas
continued to decline in popu-
lation, the official Sixteenth
Decennial census, shows. The
report was released by Director
william Lane Austin of the
Bureau of the Census, Depart
ment Of Commerce.
The final count of the Six
teenth census showed that on
April l., 1910, Montana had a
population of 559,456, an in
crease of 81 $50 over the $751;
COG residents reported in the
1880 census.
This change represents an
increase of Al per cent as con-
trasted with a decrease of q
per cent between 1920 and 1880
The population increase in ur-
ban areas from 1880 to 1916
was 1853 per cent, as contras-
ted with a decrease of "a per
cent in the rural sections. Ur-
ban residents accounted for
37.8 of the states population
in 1910, as compared with 1877
per cent in 1880.
In 1910, residents of urban
areas numbered 211,535, while
the rural population was 347,-
921. The Census bureau consid-
ers as urban areas the incor-
porated places of $500 or more
The remaining territory, con-
sisting of open country and pla-
ces of less than $500, is claSsec
as rural.
There were six cities of TO-,
900 or more in Montana. NJ
new cities were added to the
group since 1880. Four of these
cities increased between 1891
and 1910, Billings having thu
most rapid growth az pei

Thirteen of the II urbar
places of less than 10000 pop.
ulation increased between 1885,
and 1910. OF the 90 rural in.
corporated places, IS gained, q

manned constant in population
and Two because incorporated
during the last decade.
Twenty-Five of the Sc coun.
ties gained in population be-
tween 1880 and 1910. Glacier
county, with an increase of TO-;
per cent, had the most rapic
growth.
The first census of Montana
was taken in 1870, returning {
population of 20,595. The popu.
lation has increased with ev.
cry census since that time eX'
cept that of 1880. The popula.
ton passed 10000 between 1881
and 1890, 200, 900 between 1897
and 1900, 100000 between 1901
and 1910, and 100000 between
1910 and 1920.
In 1910 the state had NOR,

represents a density of 3.8 in,

Another rule of when to paint and
when not to paint is suitability to
furniture. If your furniture is rather
fragile, such as that designed by
Duncan Phyfe or Sheraton, then
heavy dark woodwork will overpower
it unless you add a few substantial
pieces - a piano. a break-front book
case, a big desk, your large deeply
upholstered sofa and lounge chairs -
to give counter balancing weight.
As to keeping the wood dark and
painting the walls light - perhaps
white - remember that this combina
ton has for centuries been found
pleasing in northern castles and south
ern palaces, as well as in cottages
throughout the continent of Europe.
