A TALE OF TWO CITIES.

Helena is going to spend thirty
thousand dollars TO advertise herself.
Anaconda is v e years old and has
5000 people.
At the smelter in this city l,lGO men
are on the pay roll to-day.
During q days of March, 1890, there
came to this city 1856 cars bringing
@, IA, 800 pounds of ore.
During the same months the smelt-
ing works in Anaconda shipped 1850
5is pounds of copper matte.
The pay roll nj the smelter will be
$4,000 for the month of April.
These are official figures never before
put In print.
The business at the freight depot in
this city exceeded S2,GO0,OOO in 1889, and
the lower works were closed on account
of the fire eight months, at that.
During the month of March the Ana
conda company paid the Montana
Union Railroad company S2O0,I5I.2i

bigger for this month.
Anaconda has seen more new rail
road construction work within n year

construction of the new smelter. The
imposing building on the side hill at
Carroll, iron from sill TO ridge-pole, is
the result. There is hardly a stick of
timber in the whole affair. and the risk
of a disaster like that of March in last
year is forever removed.
II will interest the public to know
that the policy of the Anaconda COM
pany is TO substitute iron for wood In
all the buildings connected with the
smelling plant In this city. Already,
rs the STANDARD announces this
morning, il has been determined to
start the rebuilding with smelter num-
Der one, ut the upper works, where an
iron building will he substituted for
the present wooden structure as o as
exact plans for the work are prepared
and the material purchased. Millions
of feet of lumber that have gone into
the enormous buildings across the
creek will thus have served their day,
giving place to a newer, better and
safer order.
The change means added hundreds
of thousands for investment in the
smelling property. 1t demonstrates
the faith which the company has in the
ability of the mines mt Butte To sustain
the shelters ut Anaconda. II will
make the works in this city the safest
as well as the largest copper smelling
establishment in the world.

its organization from the year 1872. IL
is true that, prior To that year, random
chapers had existed here and there. but
none of them had a continuous exist

quite unlike that which Is at the found
alton Of odd fellowship which, since the
founding of the Manchester lodge, has
grown To be one of the most extensive
self-goyerned provident bodies in the
world.
The work of the order, which sacredly
guards many of the features of frater-
nal secresy, is To he helpful to needy
brethren, to encourage the membership
in every good work, to care for widows
and orphans, To help the afflicted and
assist the unfortunate. The inestima-
BILE good which the order has wrought
in the way of well directed charity is
its browning glory to-day. Its exist
ence in this country is simply a career
of unbroken prosperity. II has been
abundant in good works. and its mem
beers take just pride in the record of its
deeds.
The order Of odd Fellows has expert

The origin of the lire which, thirteen
months ago, made a ruin of the smelter
at Carroll, remains "A mystery. The
structure was hardly completed when
the flames swept il away. The fire was
discovered at an early hour of the
morning. Through the millions of
feet of lumber In walls and roof and
rafters the flames made their march nj
such a resistless pace that, within
ninety minutes after the first alarm
