Gus residents of to-day, proud of their

tented to cast their lot for all time with
this great city. AS the people have ac
quired confidence in the city which is
their home, so have they endeavored
to make the appearance of the city that
which its resources amply justify. The
oceans of mud which flowed through
Butte's streets have given way to sub
stantial pavements. A commodious
city hall has been erected. Tasteful
homes, some approaching magnificence,
have been built.
The ten years that have passed have
witnessed the conquest of the old Butte
by the new Butte. AS the city has
changed in external appearance, so has
it changed to a large extent in the char
acter of it's inhabitants. The city has
never gotten entirely rid of its croak-
ers-those who did not believe in the
city and did not want anyone else to
have confidence in it; but no attention
is paid to these croakers any more.
The shafts have been deepened, and
with each foot of depth there has been
occasion for renewed confidence in the
city's future. During the ten years that
have passed there has been very
marked change in the character of
Butte's working population. Where
the miners and other workingmen of the
camp were in the main single men, they
are now for the most part married men

MANY MARVHS N THE MODERN
REALM Of THE DAILY NEWS

1t has been an interesting transition
from the bottom to the top of Mon
tana's newspaper ladder from mod
est mechanical plant to the completest
modern equipment; from the slow-go-
ing, old-fashioned machine-which at
the outset seemed ample-to the mod
ern marvel that stands in the Stand
ards press room; from types to stero-
type: from primitive cases like those
with which Benjamin Franklin was ia
miliar to the battery of present day
typesetting curiosities: from the use
less advertisement left unchanged for
weeks to the merchants bulletin edited
with skill and as carefully placed as is
the most significant item in a days
news; from eight six-column pages
which 10 years ago seemed almost too
which, in increased numbers, the
Standards pages now appear: from
meager mention of incidents to the in
dustrious gathering of the worlds sig
nificant news. These things within the
Standards experience are typical of
what a decade has witnessed in the
newspaper world. Famous editors of
40 years ago, were they to stroll to-day
through the modern press room and
composing room, would not be able to
guess, at first, whether they were in a
newspaper establishment or a gun fac
tory: so complete is the revolution that
has been wrought in respect to every
mechanical feature. The change mani
tests itself in the astonishing increase
in the number of newspaper patrons
at the centers of population in the East
they have increased by millions. Less
than a dozen years ago the newspaper
then in highest rank in the city of New
York displayed in mammoth letters
across the top of its Park Row home
the assertion that its circulation was
half million week. One week ago
last Sunday a New York newspaper is
sued a morning edition that was with
in three or four thousand of the half
million total.

THE FAMOUS EDITOR WHO WIS
The FIRST TO VISIT MONTANA

Not often mentioned in these days
but actually the first editor of national
fame to visit Montana was Albert D.
Richardson of New York. He came to
the West with Samuel Bowles, Schuy-
Ter Colfax, then the accomplished
speaker of the house of representa-
tives, and Lieutenant Governor Will
liam Bross of Chicago. Mr. Richard
son was a man of great ability, In en-
tire sympathy with the West, who ran
and in war, and whose life ended in a.
cruel tragedy. He had been permitted
to purchase one of some thirty odd
shares in the New York Tribune and
with George w. Smalley and other
young men, was trying to maintain the
high reputation of that great news
paper, which it had attained through
the services of it's illustrious founder,
aided by Richard Hildreth, Edmund
Quincy. Charles T. Congdon, Samuel
j. May, Charles A. Dana, Sam Wilke-
son and others and which had for years
stood unchallenged at the head of the
secular newspapers of the United
States. Mr.. Richardson was Kansas

THE JOURNAL, New York, Aug. 30 1899.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-05

Just ten years ago some degree Of in
terest and no little curiosity was
aroused in Butte by the appearance on
the streets of new daily newspaper.
The newsboys on the streets were
hawking the first number of the Stand
ard; doubtless, at the start, more from
curiosity than any other incentive this
first number met with a ready sale.
Probably no one on that September
morning who bought the first number
of the Standard dreamed OF the papers
SURPRISING future or believed that in
less than a years time it would occupy
the acknowledged position of Butte's
leading paper. In those first days it
was spoken of as the Anaconda pa
per-" but gradually it came to be re
garded from one end of Butte to the
other as a typical Butte publication,
and finally as Butte's representative
and leading newspaper.
1t cannot be truthfully said that the
Standard jumped to the front from the
day of its introduction into Butte; it
was a sharp struggle, with many ups
and downs. 1t had TO gain its way by
merit, and this it did. At the start the
paper had in it's favor the advantage
of an attractive appearance. 1t was
issued in efght-page, six-column form,
affording a pleasant contrast to the
somewhat dull and heavy makeup of
its contemporaries. But that was not
the real reason for the warm welcome
which the new journal received. 1t in
troduced into Butte news methods that
were new and a journalistic enterprise
the city had not known. 1t gave Butte
what every progressive city must have,
# it is to keep on growing, a live, up
to-date newspaper. The people who
purchased the first issues of the Stand
ard merely out of curiosity or because
of it's attractive appearance were not
long in discovering that the new paper
had merit which it's contemporaries did
not possess. They soon discovered that
almost every morning the Standards
columns contained something of gen
eral interest, something of particular
Importance which it's slower neighbors
had overlooked. The Standard started
out to give the people of Butte some
thing they had never had--a live and
thoroughly modern newspaper. The eff
fort struck the popular chord; the pub
lie responded. In a few weeks every
body seemed to be reading the Stand
ard, and all were talking about it. Some
adhered to the old papers, but they did
not fail to read the Standard also. In
short, there was a field for the Stand
ard in Butte. 1t entered the field; it
was warmly welcomed.
How 1t Came About.
The enViable position in the esteem
Of Butte's people which the Standard
gained in a few months it never lost
For ten years it has consistently en-
deavored to give the people of Butte the
news in readable and reliable form;
with every passing year it's efforts have
been more and more appreciated and
its popularity has increased. The
Standard has grown with Butte. During
these ten years it has recorded the pro-
gress Of this communicable steady
advance which has marked the develop
ment from the great mining camp of
the Northwest to a wonderful, thriving
city, the metropolis of Montana. 1t
has noted year by year the handsome
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-05

The workingmen of this city have ac-
cordingly been able to afford many lux
uries and advantages denied to them
elsewhere. Hence the working popula-
ton of of this city has become without
doubt the most intelligent to be found
anywhere in the land, and their fam
lilies have all the advantages of educa-
ton and social intercourse. Butte now
boasts of splendid schools. where an
army of children daily receive the best
of instruction. Fine churches have
been built and the gambling houses,
which formerly occupied the most
prominent blocks in town, are now, as
in other cities, relegated to secrecy.
In Shoe Shop.
This papers bow was made from a
small but kindly boot and shoe store
located at No. 16 West Park street, and
known as the Gold Boot" There was
opened the first package of Standards
that came to this city, and from there
were sent into the streets the boys who
were to test the fortune of the new ven
ture. From a high stool. at an upright
desk in this accommodating shoe store
was written the first news about Butte
that was published in the STANDARD At
that time the Standard wal, severely
handicapped by the fact that. it's pa
pers being printed in Anaconda, and
having as yet no special train at its dis
posal. the days papers could not be
placed before the public until nearly IL
o'clock. Only the fact that in it's coll
umns appeared very frequently some
thing of much Importance not contained
in other papers, kept the STANDARD
steadily growing in spite of the disad-
vantages that accompanied the early
days of it's existence. The delivery to
the first few subscribers was by means
of messenger boys. The Stalldard's
stay in the hospitable Gold Boot was
not for long. In a few days the paper
had a corner in the office of the Rocky
Mountain Telegraph company, which
was then in the basement under
D'Acheuls drug store. Mr.. l.. S. Wild,
then manager of the company in Butte,
accorded the Standard office roo m in
eACHdIlSe lUF ltS leltSTdpn DuSl Hess,
which was steadily growing. The
Standards corner was fitted up wi tn a
plain, implanted round table and two
plain chairs. The policy of the Sta nd
ard Butte office at the time was to be
careful and not to get in too deep.
The Adventures of a Sign.
1t was during the three or four
months that the Standard made its
home in the telegraph office that I he
papers first sign was painted, SIT gn
which ever since that time has told II ne
public where the Standard was to \ De
found, and which still points to the
door of the Standards Office in Broad
way. The familiar sign with the point =
ing hand was ordered from the pain t
shop of Oscar Stenberg in West Parl p;
street, Those days were the days OF
the famous Butte firebug Scarcely
night passed that one or two residences
or business places were not set on fire,
great damage often resulting. 1t was
the rule of the Standard at the time
not to close the Butte office until the
nights incendiary fire had been re-
ported, the fire usually occurring about
or 2 o'clock in the morning.
One night the whistles and revolvers
announced a fire in the paint shop of
