POWELL COUNTY.

Mr.. Numbers bill to create the county
of Powell is known as House bill No. 81,
and provides that all of that portion of
the state embraced within the following
boundaries shall be known as Powell

said boundary lines to the intersection of
the divide between Hellgate and Big
Blackfoot rivers; thence westerly along
the summit of said divide to the inter
section of the boundary line between
Deer Lodge and Missoula counties;

boundary of Deer Lodge county to the
intersection of the main range of the
Rocky mountains; thence southeasterly

A TALK BY INGALLS,.
INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH THE
CELEBRATED KANSAN.

Thinks Silver Is a Dead I~ssue-Says the
Populists Have q Stupendous Problem
In Kansas-Republican Party Has q
Tremendous Task Ahead.
Ex-senator John ]. Ingalls, spent a
day recently in Denver Oh his way to
Wyoming to fill lecture engagements.
The senator was in his usual fighting
trim and expressed himself freely and
forcibly concerning the recent election
in Kansas and the great sociological
questions that are occupying the public
mind.
IT spent four months or more cam
paigning Kansas for the Republican
ticket" said he, "but the result showed
that I might as we'll have been some
where else. The Populist victory in
Kansas was one of the phenomena Of
politics for which there is nc explana-
ton. I really think the victors were as
much disappointed at the majority as
we were surprised and startled by its pro-
portions. The Populists not only elected
six out of the eight congressman, but
they secured five out of six appellate
judges and have two out Of three men,
bers Of the supreme court, the governor
and all the state officers and a majority
over all in each Of the branches of the
legislature, It is the first time in the
history Of any American state when all
the different parts Of the government

COUNTY DIVISION BILL.

The bill for the creation of Powell
county has been presented to the legisla-
ture by Representative Humber and is
now subject to all the vicissitudes of an
ordinary bill before that body. THE
NEW NORTHWEST has not seen the full
text of the bill, but gives in its columns
a synopsis thereof as published in the
Helena Herald. As we understand the
bill, the dividing line would pass through
the center of township six north, which
Is about one and ene-half miles above the
mouth of Race Track creek. This would
make Powell county contain an area
nearly 1876 miles north and south and
about 90 miles east and west at its widest
point, sufficiently large, populous and
rich to maintain a government of it's own.
The present assessed valuation of its ter
ritory is nearly 81, 500, 900, and at the last
election it cast 1917 votes. 1t will con.
ain the rich lower Deer Lodge valley,
Hellgate valley, Nevada Creek valley
and tributaries, noted for thier grasses and
the Big Blackfoot valley and all of its
tributaries. The waters of the Big
Blackfoot drain a region covered by
forests and which must be the future
timber and lumber supply of Montana.
The mountains between these valleys are
filled with minerals that have already at
tracted the miner and capitalist. Some
Of the best gold properties in the state,

will step to the front. Trusts? We hear
Il great deal about trusts. Nobody hates
trusts more than I. Mr.. Bryan and his
advocates all forget to say that there is
q law now in existence which aims to
strangle all trusts. The law was the
creature Of Mr.. Edmunds, the most
practical legislator of the age. Edmunds
strangled polygamy to death, and he
formulated the antitrust law. MI. Olney
and MI. Harmon have failed to prosecute
offenders under the law, and it remains
for the Republican administration to
take hold and carry out the law.
1.-The money power in it's organized
capacity had just as much to do VIII.
the campaign Of Mr.. Bryan as it had to
do with the campaign of Mckinley.
There is 10 more gigantic trust on the
earth than the silver trust, and the sill
yer mine owners were all supporting
Mr.. Bryan. A trust is a thing that
knows no politics but plumber and no
principles except spoliation of the human
race. 1t is puerile to say that the cleo
ton was bought with money. The pro-
portions Of the victory repel such AL idea.
In any event / cannot bring myself to
believe there was any moro open use of
money OF the side of Mr.. Mckinley than
on the side of Bryan. The fact is the
brains Of the country are in the Repub-
lican party. 1t is the party of progress
and aggressiveness, and always has
BEEN" %
"Aren't the socialists becoming un-
pleasantly aggressive?" was asked.
"Purely arcadian," was the reply.
"a lot of dreamers, sentimentalists who
have visions, but l!Nthing practical.
They are the st. Johns Of the political
dispensation, crying in the wilderness,
and some time, as Emerson says, the
dreamers of yesterday become the rcali-
ties Of today and the statutes of the fu-
ture. The dreamers are like the Garri-
SONS and Beechers Of the war, but when
strong men are needed Lincolns and
Grants appear and carry the projects
forward to a final accomplishment.
There will be no bloodshed, for the
American people are too capable of self
government. They are a people of peace.
We talk about solving a problem. 1t is
a mistake. Lincoln never moved until
the people were ready, Nobody solves a
governmental problem. The problem
solves itself. Under this government a
man is entitled to the fullest use of his
powers as long as he uses his powers
honestly. The question is not whether
a man shall make 500, 900, 900, but
whether he shall be entitled to bequeath
800, 900, 900 to his son. The right to
tax, in the opinion of the supreme court,
is the right to destroy. When it comes
to a question of leaving a vast fortune
to a IL the society may have something
to say in order to insure its own preser-
walton. Rocky Mountain News.

"What wolld Powell county be? 1t
wouldn't have a good-sized town within
its limits-the city of Deer Lodge has
been shrinking in population for several
years. 1t wouldn't represent wealth
equivalent to the deposits in a medium
sized bank."-Standard.
Yet we must remind the Standard that,
while the bank of Hoge, DAILY & Co. of
Anaconda pays taxes on IN assessed valu-
alton of only $4,000, the bank of Larabie
Bros. & Co. of Deer Lodge pays taxes on
$100,O00-only ten times as much as the
Anaconda bank.

SOME

The territory of the proposed Powell
county has an assessed valuation in 1896
OF $2,4oO,OOO in round numbers; it cast
1517 votes at the last election. There is
an average assessment of $1,000 to each
voter. The territory left to Deer Lodge
county has an assessed valuation in 1896
of 5 100000 in round numbers. OF this
$1,50O,000 is assessed to the Anaconda
Copper Mining Co. and its departments,
leaving 5 2,5O0,000 as the valuation of the
balance Of the county. In this territory
there were 4,185 votes cast at the last
election, making an average assessment
of 5000 to each voter, if the Anaconda
company's properties are deducted, or an
average assessment of $3.50 to each voter
If the deduction is not made.
The voters of Powell county, with an
average assessment of $1,000, feel that
they prefer self-government to being die.
tated to, as they surely must be if no di.
vision takes place, by voters whose aver.
age assessment is but 5000, or ever $3.50.
They feel also, that, counting numbers,
the expense of county administration at
present bears too heavily on them, and
believe q division would render such
burden more equitable.
The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1897-01-15

The Anaconda Standard says "the pro-
posed Powell county will have less than
$2,0OO,ON of taxable property" AS a
matter OF fact the new county would have
taxable property to the amount of nearly
$~2,5OO,OOO and fully 1900 voters-more
than 80 per cent. of whom are ready and
willing to assume the responsibilities and
burdens of county government.
The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1897-01-15

The Anaconda paper would like to
make it appear that most of the oppo-
sition to county division would come from
the north end of the county. The fact of
the matter is, the people residing in the
north end are about as unanimous for
county division as they were to retain the
county seat at Deer Lodge.

The Standard says the affairs of "this
county have been economically admin
istered the past year." Yes. the two
commissioners from Anaconda have
missed no opportunity to administer af-
fairs economically by letting all contracts
to the highest bidders-one of which was

A LOWER

There was a time when the Anaconda
Standard could be depended upon to be
an open and digniied opponent when it
found such a course necessary, or in its
Judgment best. But times are different
now. The first evidence of a lowering
of tone was in the capital contest two
wears g when the Standard felt dis
posed to give ~underhanded blows. The
fact that it had fallen from its once
proud position was made painfully APP
parent last fall, when, with all the rancor
of anticipated defeat, its scurrilous at
tacks on Judge Brantly made its friends
blush in view Of its former fair fame.
That such a condition of debased jour
nalism has become chronic, is evidenced
by its course in reference to the county
division matter. In the local columns OF
last Saturdays Standard there appeared
an article on county division so false as
to statements that they must be called
lies, pure and simple, for they were mis-
statements uttered with the purpose to
deceive. This was followed by a reiter-
alton of the same statements in the edi-
torial columns on Sunday, thus giving
official sanction to the first.
A newspaper that will thus deliberately
mislead the public deserves the public's
condemnation by loss of confidence in
the truthfulness of any of its reports.
The only plausible reason for such a de-
cadence of honor must be sought for in
a lowering of the morals of its corps of
writers or from having a paretic on the
editorial tripod.

1t is gratifying to read in Washington

ance of reconciling the silver and anti
silver wings of the party. Unless the old
