Thirteenth Anniversary
This Morning.
BUSINESS PORTION WENT
Tn in Flames at That Time as There
Was No DEPARTING nt or Water
Works System.

The thirteenth anniversary OF Ana
conda's greatest fire, occurred this morn
ing at 2 O'Clock, when the greater portion
of what was then the business section,
was wiped off the map. The fire occur
ed on the night of Washingtons birth
lay, when the town was ablaze with
glory, for a grand ball was in progress
under the auspices of the A. o. U. W., at
the skating rink at the southwest corner
of Commercial venue and Cherry streets.
Anaconda was a small town in those
days. There were no police, only a town
marshal, and John Mckinney had the
honor of being the officer, who maintain
ed peace. He was the first marshal of the
town, and his friends tell him today he
was the best the town ever "a He could
not prevent the fire, however, which start
ed at the northwest corner of Front and
Main street and swept south as far as
where Cohen's two story brick building
now stands in which Trevnio's produce
store is situated. The only bank in town
did business. then where Godard's store is
now situated. 1t was saved, as were two
other business houses north of it. The
night of the fire there was two feet of
snow on the ground, and This lessened the
extent of the fire which was fought with

one became a willing volunteer. There
was no fire department, or water sys-
tenn in those days. Although the town
was typical Of many other Montana
towns in the early days and was full of
Big saloons, ard many faro games, there
was one good restaurant, with Brussels
carpet on the floor, which was liberany
I~atronized by the persons who did not
care to pass the faro layouts to reach a
clOD mouse IN the rear of a saloon Tn
those days there was no gambling up
STAIRS or down cellar, or behind screened
doors. The man who wanted to gamble
did so. and if he won or lost it was his
w funeral. That section of the town
burned down was soon rebuilt, and for
the next ten years was as lively a bust
ness section as in any town of Montana.
With the growth of the city in the 'paftt
few Years, business has been Keeping

WHOLESALE pLUNDER.

The Mckinley government is mighty
kind to its favorltes. It recklessly gives
away the peoples money to its pets.
Thirty-four generals and colonies had
reached the retiring age and each Of
them was advanced a grade just before
retiring. An increase Of pay amount
ing to 81 500 was given to each Of them
for life, for which there was no reason
in great merit or distinguished services.
Hardly one of them had reputation
as broad as township. Here are few
of the cases and the rest are like unto
them: j.. w. Forsythe was made a
major general and served three days;
q. Il. Bliss served eight days; W.. H.
Nash was made a brigadier aud served
ten days; j. NJ. Miner served twelve
days; Anson Mills served five days; q.
I'll. Coulton served two days and got
81 500 extra annual pay for life; Z. b.
Agan was dismissed for disgraceful
conduct and will receive full pay as
long as he lives and he bids, fair to live
forever. Not one of the thirty-four
promoted officers served over five
months in his new Office and nine
tenths of them less than thirty days

sULzER SPEAKS FOR THE PEOPLE

Touching upon the cowardly position
Of the republican majority in the house
of representatives with reference to the
war in south Africa, Mr.. Sulzer says:
Since the commencement of this ses-
sion of congress several resolutions ex.
pressing sympathy with the South Afri.
can patriots have been introduced in
this horse by myself and.other members
The speaker has referred these resou-
tions to the committee on foreign affairs
and, although ample time has elapsed,
that committee has taken, so far as we
know, no action, and apparently does
not intend to take any action in regard
to the same.
For this reason, and lest more favor.
able opportunity shall not be available.
place on record my condemnation of
the unjust, the in6umane, the preda.
tory, the cruel, and the barbarous wal
the empire Of Great Britain is ruthlessly
conducting in South Africa to destroy
and exterminate two brave little repub-
lies, sisters of our own. and as free and
rs independent as this republic,

the life and death struggle between re-
public and empire now going on il

VIM. j. Bryan made the following
PLAN, common sense statement Monday
in Michigan in reference to the repub.
lican party and trusts. His reasoning
is unanswerable. ''The republican
party" he said, "has made ambiguous
references to trusts in their platforms
this year, but the republicans have the
esident. the senate and the house of
representatives.. If ever they intend to
act now the time to do it. They
have full power. If they do not act

Probably the greatest profit ever en-
joyed by the government as result Of
the destruction of money was in connec
