but it is thought the session will be 8
short one, as but few cases appear to be
ready for trial.
There is considerable talk in town
these days about the erection of smelter
near Deer Lodge. There is no doubt but
smelter in this vicinity would be the
means of developing many small mining
propositions that must otherwise remain
unexplored for years to come.

days and on not page can be found an

| We believe that with some effort q
number of Butte families could be in
duced to make their homes in this city
Deer Lodge, with her handsome shade
| trees and roomy grounds, her beautiful
flower gardens and grassy lawns, her ex-
cellent school facilities and healthful To-
cation, Is the ideal residence town of
Montana. Though she has been de-
spoiled of her county government, the
beautiful grounds and buildings yet re-
main to add to her natural beauty and at
| tractiveness. Nature has done much for
Deer Lodge; her people should strain
every nerve to improve and beautify their
| inheritance, for the time will surely come
when they will be rewarded for their pa
| tience and labor.
"Uncle Dick" Kennon, from his sick
room in this city, writes us a note in
which he severely criticises the Ana
conda commissioners for their action in
denying to Deer Lodge people the use of
| the abandoned court house for public en-
| tertainments. Mr.. Kennon thinks it all
spite work; we agree with him. The
ground on which the abandoned build
| ings stand was donated for county build
| ings by Deer Lodge gentlemen; people
of Deer Lodge set out the trees and beau
titled the grounds. The people of Ana
conda, by the aid of voters who pay no
taxes, destroyed the value of the build
ings, and now through malice or spite
they deny the people of this city the oc-
casional use of the property for public
entertainments, not because any injury
results from such use, but simply because
they wish to give us to understand that
we are still living under Anaconda rule.
