The death Of Capt. John b. LaBarge.
at Bismarck last Friday, reminds us
that Deer Lodge City WAS originally
called La Barge City" aud was so
noted on the maps of Montana for
many years. The brothers. John and
Joseph La Barge. were among the ear
hest navigators Of the Upper Missouri
and, We are informed by Thomas La
vatta, they were the first to bring u
Steamboat to Fort Benton. In recog-
milton Of their achievement the name
la Barge" was applied to this village
when Dance X Stuart started their store
here III 1865. There were then only
the store Of Dane, & Stuart and the
cabins of Fred. Burr, Thomas Lavatta,
Leon Quesnellc, Louis Demars. Jos.
f!ili ANA Morgan in the place. The
name Of la Barge" was. for some
reason unknown to us. dropped after
being IN Use about one year and Got
tonwond' substituted. Later. that was
dropped and Deer Lodge substituted.

that are placed upon the stock boards
OF New York; and they are not drop

In glancing over the mining ex-
changes it is plain to see that Montana

been changed? or have the agents beer
