The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-12-25
The Christmas Standard.

The Anaconda Standards Christmas
number was a splendid exhibition of Mon
tana newspaper enterprise. Its IS pages
were filled with original and interesting
features. The three bear stories by the
three members of the supreme court were
gems in their way. The four newspaper
sketches by the four editors, each writing
about his friend. were especially interest
ing. But II we undertake to speak of spe-
cial features there will be no end. The edi-
ton would be a credit 10 any m~etropoli-
tan newspaper published in New York or
C~hicago.-Great Falls Tribune.
As usual the Anaconda Standard out
strips all competitors in the size of its
Christmas number. and also I'm the char
acter of matter presented. The edition is
a 56-page paper. and of interest through
out to its thousands of Montana readers
Livingston Eenterprise.
on Sunday the Anaconda STANDARD is
sued its Christmas edition. 1t is OF Sc
pages, containing so much of interest
bearing upon the resources OF that mar
Vicious state that Justice cannot be done II
I'm limited space. The arucles are ably
written. of absorbing interest and the ac-
companying engravings challenge admira-
ton. A striking feature is the array of
handsome public buildings. While figures
are not given of products for 1898. the re-
markable showing for 1897. when the
grand total reached sec. 1885, 900. will be
eClipsed i'm the statement to be issued a
few weeks hence. Montana is a great
state and Is worthily represented by the
Standard.-Salt Lake Tribune.
The Anaconda Standards Christmas
edition of last Sunday was certainly the
greatest newspaper effort ever attained in
the West. IL Is not only a chedit to the Of
flee itself. but to the great state II so ably
represents by giving a fairly lengthy
sketch Of all its internal welfares. 1t is a
clever biography OF Montana. II is the
greatest kim OF a great paper.-Jeferson
County Sentinel.
The edition Of the Anaconda Standard
which was published last Sunday morn
ing contained So pages. and there was
not a dry or undressing line I'm the
whole edition. The paper. while devoted
largely to a description Of the vast indus
trial enterprises OF the state, is itself the
best possible illustration of the brains
and enterprise of Montana. and every cit
izen OF the state should possess a copy.
Undoubtedly the most interesting feature
Of the issue Is the authoritative announce
ment with regard to the plans of the
washoe company. which is OF vital inn

an expense for the purchase and develop

millions. has acquired property not infe-
rior In extent and richness to that OF any
OF the big mining corporations OF Butte.
This company will proceed at once to
erect a smelter at Anaconda which will
be second in size To no smelter in the
state except tho Anaconda. This enter
prise will vastly Increase the size and i'm

Of the entire ~state.-Libby News.
II seems like a trite remark TO say that
the Christmas edition OF the Anaconda
Standard. issued on Sunday last, Is a mar
vel of intelligent. enterprising and pro-
gressive Western journalism. hut unusual
superlative terms are not always the most
appropriate or expressive when applied
to meritorious and extraordinary newspa-
per work. The reading public. however.
has become so accustomed to see the
Standard outrival all Of its Montana COM
p~etitors that n vastly surprising edition
is no longer a matter OF great surprise.
And so the present splendid Christmas is
sue OF sc intensely interesting pages. al
though exhibiting a feature OF extensive
and progressive Journalism never before
attempted or attained in this state, may.
perhaps, be accepted with but little more
than ordinary appreciation. although IL
speaks volumes OF good things for the
city and state in which IL is fortunately
published. Nevertheless. IL takes brains
and enrgy and money and genuine jour
nalistic get-up-and-get-there enterprise to
produce and properly circulate among the
intelligent masses such a magnificent is
sue as the current Christmas edition OF
the Anaconda STANDARD -Bozeman Avant
Courier.
