HEARD WITH REGRET.
The Little Coal Camp Had Made Won.
derful Progress.

Great Falls, April 16.-The news of the
fire at Belt last night was received in
this city with genuine regret. The
little coal camp has made wonderful
progress in the past few years, and
under the stimulus afforded by the
investment of the Anaconda company
and the development consequently of
the coal deposits a advanced from a
sleepy little cross roads hamlet to a
vigorously growing town of several
thousand souls. 1t is no inconsiderable
feeder to the channels of in
Great Falls, and the Belt pay day, in
spite of the camps location at a dis
lance of 30 miles, was felt here as well
as on the spot. The company had in
augurated a new industry for this
county, the making of coke, and was
the first to back it's belief in the cox
ing qualities of Cascade county coal in
a practical manner For that reason,
IL for no other. the company I'M its
management had the sincere good will
of every one in this city and in the
county. The amp was affording a sure
market to the farmers and to them the
company's loss appears as a personal
one.
The fire has demonstrated that the
claim of fire insurance companies that
the town had insufficient fire protec-
ton was correct. The company had
done all it could do. all. in fact, tha
has been done, to afford such .protec-
ton, and the fire of last night makes
the conviction more firm that the day
will come when the closely built frame
ranges in the lower part of the town
will be swept out in a few hours.
AS commonly happens when the ORR
gin of a fire is unknown, rumors are
current that it was of incendiary ORR
gin. That rumor is hardly credited
here, where IT is well known that the
company was entirely without enemies
in the county, in or out Of Belt.
