IN THE COPPER CITY.
A Resume Of the Most Notable Events Transpiring
During the Weel-Notes and Personals.


many prosperous men in this community
i permitting one man to take hold and
push to completion all of these projects
Of the city, is becoming mighty unpopu-
lar. 1t is now regarded in many quar-
ters as being very unwise to permit the
city to suffer for lack of interest on the
part OF men who are making their money
within the corporate limits. This city
has grown to such proportions that it is
no longer possible or practicable for any
one man, no matter how wealthy or pub
lic-spirited, to provide every convenience
which the city demands The people
who are sharing in the prosperity Of the
/ place are now called to put their shoulders
| to the wheel and help push these good
works along. Men who have made for
| tunes here, while equally bright men
have met with disasters i'll other sections
OF the state, are becoming aroused to the
| fact that Anaconda requires united effort
on the part of all the citizens. An opera
house is needed and the men with money
must hel lp to build it. There is not the
slightest doubt but that the money in
vested in such an enterprise would pay at
least a reasonable interest. 1t would be
a safe investment for the persons putting
their money into it, and it would be Il
splendid thing for Anaconda in gen.
eral way, The plan under discussion in
wolves the construction Of an opera house
to cost about $4,000 1t is believed that
very easy terms can be made with the
toWnsite company for suitable site in q
central location, and it is also understood
that il the business men Of the city will
take an interest in the matter and show
their appreciation of the enterprise by
contributing a part of the funds neces-
sary for the erection Of the building, that
a liberal sum could be obtained from men
who have always had the best interests
Of Anaconda at heart, and who have never
been backward about putting up their
full share or more. This opera house
question should be taken care of imme-
diately. 1t behooves the public spirited
citizens Of the Copper City to go at it in
a business way and take handsome care
of it in the immediate future We be-
leve this will be DONE
The different political parties here
abouts are on the move. Calls have been
issued for a meeting Of the democratic
and populist city central committees
j The meetings will be held Saturday
evening when the question of nomina-
/ tlons OF the four aldermen to be elected
In Anaconda this spring will be discussed.
/ The republicans thus far have made no
move. There have been suggestions that
politics be eliminated from the contest
this spring and that one good man in
each ward be selected to run for alder
man and that there be no contest 1t
would be q right good thing for the city
/ il this could be done; but it very proba
bly, can't. AT this period in Anaconda's S
| history it is of supreme Importance that
good, sensible, substantial and progress
i've and public=sprited men be elected to
the city council. But the partisans will
probably want to get their fingers into
the pie and the chances are that any at
tempt to elect good men upon citizens
ticket would meet with failure.
The democratic county central COM
mittee has been called to meet at j. Nj.
| Kennedy's office i'll Anaconda on Satur-
day, March 81, at l O'clock. Business of
considerable importance to the party or
ganization will come up for consdera-
! ton.
The Recorder last week published a
ticket which it said the people of Deer
Lodge We're discussing FOR the fall cleo
tion in this county It was q mixture po-
}itically and was headed by A. NJ Walker
for sheriff. The New NORTHWEST does
not know that it is Mr. Walkers inten-
tion to be candidate, but il tits, he will
get strong support in this part of the
county where he is we'll known and very
highly esteemed for his many sterling
qualities. He is a hard -headed, honest
business man and public business is safe
in his keeping. In one respect at least
/ the Recorders ticket is off. It names
j. NJ. Kennedy as a candidate for clerk
and recorder. Mr.. Kennedy has stated
i positively he is not a candidate for any
| office and will not be.
