QUIZ SlLCTxlTION.


In Issuing TIE NEW NORTHWEST IN
Deer Lodge city and announcing it as per-
nanency among you, Custom and circurn-
stance privilege Us to show the reason why.
In soliciting public patronage it is duty TO
indicate its purposes and policy. This cdo:
The paper is legitimate business venture !;
its object, TO put money in the purse of the
publisher. To accomplish this it will be
sought to make it . .dignifed. honorable
! journal. and present in the most attractive
manner, the latest news of home and abroad.
In selecting Deer Lodge city we believe we
are hut moving IN advance Of the bulk of
commerce, manufacture and business pOpu-
lstion, that has swept In five years from
Esnnack to Virginia-thence to Helena, and
that will ~ certainly seek the Western Slope
within the next two years. We say this
without disparagementt TO these localities, for
it is fact, patent to oil, that here are com.
bined the greatest agricultural and mineral
resources of the Tcrritory-that Deer Lodge
County is the rich vital heart of Montana
1t has better climate, more rich placers and
quartz leads than all others, and, with Mis-
soula. . greater extent of arabic lands and
facilities for farming With the mines now
opened aud bitches constructed, it will, in
ordinary seasons for the next ten years, a.
ford rcmuncrativc employment to not less
than 5000 or 10000 placer miners, and yield
annually more gold than the entire Territory
has heretofore. while its agricultural lands
are virtually illimiiable. In the next five
years the Northern Pacific railroad will be
built. Its natural and inevitable line is
through tho Deer Lodge valley, and here or
in the Gallatin, will be the Metropolis and
Capital of the State of Montana. These,
and the belief that good newspaper will
be well supported, were the inducements to
this field. Its purpose is to speak for the
Right rs God gives US to sec the Right" ir'
respective of all parties, classes, creeds,' ma.
tionalitics or consequences; to be fair,
independent aud outspoken, on every subject
affecting the welfare of this people; to give
the practical and material interests Of this
locality first consideration; keep sloof from
oil factions and to do all that we may for
the advancement of whatever ID deemed for
the general good. Its policy will be, to keep
on so doing. According every man the in.
slienable right of thought, belief and cx.
preston, as the sacred guaranteed preroga-
tive of an American citizen, We claim the
same for ourselves, and will not hesitate in
its exercise. On oil matters affecting the
interests Of the county, We shall hcw to the
line, let the chips fall where they may. The
intent is to sustain and advocate oil that is
good, and whoever are worthy; and If in
this any ones honest opposing sentiments arc
assailed, or snothcr's selfish preferences for
wardcd, 1t will be without designing such
result We appreciate the difficulty of such
q task, that psrtissnism demands its tithing,
and that it requires generosity Of opinion
to sustain such q paper, but we have, deter.
'mination and confidence. Scurrility and
Personal defamation will be vigorously ex.
cluded. If stated facts are inadequate to
Glitter, ~itoat good iesas. Bce1% n Tie
present administration Of Deer Lodge county
affairs hae been highly detrimental to its
welfare; that to continue it is IN imposition
upon tho industrious Taxpayers and order
loving citizens thatss Ecform il necessary,
and to that end other men of known honesty,
integrity, ability, and identified with he
interests of tho county are essential, We
subscribe to the Peoples Platform of Prin-
ciplcs Of this county, place their ticket at
the head of our columns, and will show
good cause why it should DO elected. If in
the difficulties and arduous lsborof selecting.
removing and arranging material, and get
ting out this first issue IN very, limited
time, the paper is less creditablc than we
would wish, we give assurance that no ef
fort win be spared to improve It in future,
and add such new features Is will wclfcom-
mend il to the favorable consideration and
patronage of ALL These arc all the promises
We have to make, leaving to our readers 70
judge it by what it is, trusting il will be
patronixcd in such measure ~ il merits, and
that our relations may be friendly, cordial,
long continued and mutually beneficial. Il
