Census Decrease
In Eastern Area

A decrease in population of
three per cent from the 1880
figures is shown in the Eastern
Montana census area, which is
composed of SO eastern Mon
tana counties, area manager of
the census, Willard E. Fraser,
reported this week.
In the drive which is now
concluded, some 400 eastern
Montana citizens were employed
in computing the census figures
in this area.
Mr.. Fraser stated that each
person employed "had to be an
American citizen as I felt that
aliens, or people unsympathetic
to the principals of democracy,
of which the census is one of
the basic fundamentals, should
have no place. in our set-up.
Hence, Montana area No. 81 of
the Sixteenth, Decennial Cen
sus was a one hundred per cent
American organization"

SAN DIEGO IS
TRAINING BASE

Young men of this vicinity
who decide to enlist in the Uni
ted States Marines will receive
their frs training at the Mar
ne Corps base, San Diego, Calf,
a part of one Of the most i'm
portant naval bases in the coun-
try, according to Platoon Ser
geant George Mace, noncom-
missioned officer in charge of
the Marine Corps recruiting
station at Billings, Mont.
Mare Island, Calf, was for
merly the principal training
station for Marines on the west
coast, and 1859 were trained
there during the last World
War. But for IT years virtually
all Marines who hail from west
of the Mississippi river have
been trained at San Diego, Mace
stated. He added that year by
year it is assuming greater i'm
portance due to its manifold
naval activities.
In full view of San Diego
bay the recruit learns the mil
itary routine of the Marine
Corps, and also becomes fam
iliar with the service rifle and
pistol, machine guns, mortars,
anti-tank guns, hand grenades,
bayonets, and other weapons.
Some are given special training
at radio or sea schools.
New Marine barracks were
built recently to accommodate
some 1000 men. In point of per-
sonnet, naval and marine, the
base is the largest in the Uni
ted states, and it has grown
so rapidly that new structures
have to be built on ground only
recently reclaimed, officials re-
ported.
mo post in the Marine Corps
offers greater opportunities for
travel than San Diego" states
Sergeant Mace. "The battle
ships, cruisers, and aircraft car
riers of the fleet visit the port
and receive requirements for
their Marine detachments from
the sea school there. Hundreds
of other Marines leave San Die
go annually for service in Ha-
wall, Guam, the Philippines, or
China"
Young men of this locality
who are interested in the U. S.
Marines are urged to apply in
person or write to the Marine
Corps Recruiting station, Post
Office building, Billings, Mont.

county in Montana and took
place Monday and Tuesday. =.
Park county has carried or
a .weed-control program longer
than any county in the West

this area are bind weed, Can

Crop rotation, clean cultivation,
burning, and the use of chem

more progress than any other
Montana county in weed con-

Tries To Get Two
Representatives

Last week County Attorney
Bert w. Kronmiller asked for.
an opinion from the office Of
the attorney general of Mon
tana on the question of whe-
Their or not Big Horn county
would be entitled to another
member of the house Of rep
resentatives during the 1871
session Of that body.
The attorney general ruled
that although the official fed
eral census revealed that Big
Horn county had the required
population for two representa-
tives in the lower house, an act
of the legislature providing for
the additional legislator must
be passed before two members
of the house can be elected
from this county.
Mr.. Kronmiller pointed out
that the Montana statutes pro-
vide that members of the house
of representative are appor-
toned upon the ratio Of one
representative for each 5000
persons or fractional part there
of in excess Of 5000 persons,
to be based on the official fed
eral census enumeration.
The 1910 census shows that:
Big Horn county is inhabited
by more than 10000 persons. It:
was the contention OF MrI
Kronmiller that the county IS
entitled to two representatives
on this basis, and he wished the
decision to be made in time for
the voters to select two MEM
bers of the house instead Of
one at the 1910 election.
