It WaS and Is Not.

On Monday morning the glory of Deer
Lodge departed and Anaconda assumed
the robes and title of county sovereignty.
There was some talk of Deer Lodge hold
ing out, and through a maze of legal
technicalities holding on to the county
seat for year or two, but the old town
lacks the vim and ginger of its early days
and when the hour of its humiliation ar
rived, it took its medicine and shrunk
into itself seemingly content that it still
lived. Deer Lodge was one of the oldest
county seats of the state Its creation as
such was almost coincident with the ere y
alton of the state and its history teens
with more of the life and vigor of the
stormy youth of this great commonwealth
than, perhaps, any other one locality.
For 32 years it has been a county seat and
for the earlier part Of that period po
litical center. 1t is quite probable that
ten or dozen years ago, when the great
enterprises at Anaconda began to assume
shape, Deer Lodge was proud of the
prosperity that was being developed
within its bailiwick and for years never
thought of the awful fate in store for it.
But sympathy rarely interferes with
business in this materialistic age. Ana
conda wanted the county seat and having
the votes necessary to getit, she ravished
and despoiled old Deer Lodge without
compunction and today the old court
house, that has for generation echoed
the eloquence Of Montana's most gifted
orators, is but place of lamentation.
empty and abandoned save by the few
who refuse to believe that what is, is true.
The Powell county scheme offers some
hope to the afflicted. If granted it will
serve to partially revive the glory of the
past, but only partially, and it is doubt
full if even this solace will be given to

HONORABLE FIGHT.
Powell County Committee Not in the

Powell County Committee Not in the
Boodlins Business.
To the Editor of The Independent
HELENA, Feb. 2.-The Anaconda Stan
dard of Feb. l contains the following on
its editorial page:
"The people who are working for Pow
ell county have had the field at Helena
practically to themselves. One of their
number said in the city of Helena, 80
hours ago, that the Powell lobby had
$4,000 for a fighting fund to begin with,
that the members of Helena have been
royalty entertained, but that the stuff
was about blown in at noon of Saturday,
it having been the anticipation that
vote would be reached last week"
Permit me to say in response to the
above that the allegation that the Powell
county lobby had $500 for fighting
fund, or any other amount, except such
as good citizens visiting the capital and
endeavoring by fair and honest presenta-
tion of their case individually required
for ordinary legitimate expenses, is. to
the best of our knowledge and belief, to-
tally and absolutely untrue, and the
Standard is challenged tc give the name

win by the creation of Powell county.
"The Montana legislature will do a
grand and humane act by passing the
Powell county bill.
"We hope the Hon. Jas. j. Hart of Red
Lodge will stand by the people of Deer
Lodge in casting of his vote for the crea-
tion of Powell county.
"The old timers throughout Montana
should use their influence to get the Pow
ell county bill through the legislature
it is full of intrinsic merit.
"The honest and just appeal of the
noble people of Deer Lodge in desiring
the creation of Powell county should be
heard by every member of the legislature.
"If the Montana legislature passes the
bill creating Powell county, every old
timer in the state will reverently hold up
their hands and say, Thank God

the general lie. The fight against the
bill promises to be hard, for DAILY man
said today that Marcus was against it.
The bill provides for the cutting OF. Deer
Lodge county in two. The lower por-
ton, with Anaconda for the county seat,
will be Deer Lodge county. The upper
portion will be called Powell county and
have Deer Lodge for the county seat.
By the passage of the bill the Powell
county people have everything to gain
and nothing to lose
But with the Anaconda people it will
be different. They have everything to
lose by the segregation and absolutely
nothing to gain. AS it is now, Deer
Lodge county has one senator and six
representatives. Should the county be
divided it would have one senator prob
ably, but two or three representatives,
owing to the reduction in the population.
Such being the condition of affairs the
bill will be hotly contested. Hepner of
Lewis and Clarke has been selected to
lead the opposition against the bill. 1t
was deemed advisable to have an east
side man do it and he was decided upon.

Should Demand Its Passage,

There have been few legislative assem-

have not shown the heavy hand of the
master of political chicanery who holds
forth at Anaconda and it is about time
that the people show their adherence of
the man and his methods. Everywhere
throughout the state, press and public

county bill, it is just measure and only

Promises to be a Hard Fight.

The Powell county division bill prom
ises to afford the members of the house
as much ground for oratory as did the
Initiative and referendum bill. When
this bill will come up is not known. Its
position on the general file is we'll to-
wards the bottom and it will take consid-
erable time to reach it. Had influence
not been brought to bear on the matter
its position would have been nearer the
top. The opponents of the measure are
not yet ready to have it come up and pur-
posely retarded its consideration in the
committee room and saw that it was
placed at good distance from the top of
The new North-west., 1897-02-05
Chances Are Favorable

The principal fights now being made
in the Legislature are on county divisions.
OF those pending Powell and Broadwater
are probably the most meritorious, and if
any are created it will be these two.
Each has strong support and one bill
will not W ..,A~-- - r,oee without the
other. The chances are favorable for
both of them passing.-Glasgow Record

THE BILL DEFEATED.

The Powell county bill was made the
special order in the house for o'clock
this friday afternoon, and after hot
wrangle Of several hours a vote was
taken, which resulted in the defeat OF
the bill by 80 to IS.
The new North-west., 1897-02-05


"The defeat of the referendum bill
foreshadows the defeat of the Powell
county bill. Humber and Marcum
traded their votes in support of the pop
ulst bill, but it didn't help."-Anaconda
Recorder.
The defeat of the referendum bill
doesn't foreshadow the defeat of the
Powell county bill. On the contrary, if
it means anything, it means the triumph
ant passage of the bill by the house. The
referendum bill received Al votes out of
the total of 6s, lacking only five votes Of
the necessary number that constitu-
tional amendment must have to pass
either house. We are plain, modest peo
pie, down here; we don't expect two
thirds vote in the house on our bill-all
we ask is a fair majority and an honest
count.
We have received from Capt James II.
Mills copy of his fourth annual report
of the Bureau of Agriculture, Labor and
Industry. Like its predecessors, it shows
vast amount of patient and careful work
in its preparation and is credit both to
the state and the commissioners Whether
the bureau over which Capt. Mills SO
ably presides is abolished or not by the
present legislature, the reports sent out
by him are valuable documents Just the

No Good Reason Against 1t.

The Sheridan Paper is mistaken as to
the attitude of The Independent in re-
gard to the Powell county bill. This
paper is for the creation of the new
county, has said SO and has published
facts and figures showing that the county
should be created The Sheridan Paper
says in regard to the bill:
The Powell county bill is as a voice
crying in the wilderness. A prosecuted
people appeal for liberty and relief
Willing and abundantly able to maintain
a county government of their own, they
are now, through the medium of repre-
sentative Numbers bill, before the Mon
tana legislature praying the privilege.
They have all the argument on their side
all the merit, all the evidence.
Yes, the Powell county bill has the
evidence and the merit on its side. To
pass that bill would be measure of
simple justice to defeat it would be an
act Of injustice.
There have been a good many wild
statements to the effect that the Powell
county bill should not pass, but thus far
we have not seen single good reason
advanced for opposing the bill. The
people of the proposed county are fully
able to sustain a new county, and have
given the figures to show it.-Helena In
