Statewide figures from county school censuses suggest Montana’s population is around 510 000 to 625 000, with some estimates exceeding 600 000. Commissioner J M Kennedy notes immigration surges and county differences, while warning that only a federal census will settle the total. The piece also praises the Anaconda Standard as a vigorous daily paper.
The piece argues hospitals now number twice as many as three years ago and predicts broader access, better organization, and increased philanthropy. It cites Dr. H B Howard on hospital roles in patient care, scientific research, and education, with German city models as benchmarks. It also notes eye protection via amber goggles for motorists and motorcyclists.

In 1918 Rocky Mountain coal output rose in all states except Colorado where a strike reduced annual production by about 1.6 million tons versus 1912. New Mexico output edged above 1912 figures but a tragic Dawson mine explosion killed 263. Montana production rose roughly eight percent from 1912 levels due to rising domestic demand.
The report notes coal use declined from 1912 as railroads shifted to oil and hydroelectric power expanded into mining properties. Wyoming coal exports showed satisfactory labor conditions with slightly higher demand for railroads manufacturing and domestic use. Car supply improved after drought reduced demand in neighboring states. Utah production rose about five percent from 1912 due to growth and California demand.
