A Proposition to Erect a Monumen
To the Late Marcus Daily.
"'om the Anaconda Standard:
The suggestions which have been
made in Butte during the past few
days in favor of monument for the
late Marcos DAILY are meeting with
perhaps more favorable comment
than any proposition of similar
character has ever before received in
this community. The movement is
one which seems likely to move it.
self. Immediately after the first an
| nonncement that such a move was
t" be undertaken a number of people
called at the Standard Office and ex-
messed not only their readiness but
their anxiety to subscribe toward the
fund for the erection of monument
IN honor of Montana's foremost citi-
"cn. It is probable that the Busi-
necs Mems association in their meet
il.g TO be held tomorrow evening will
take the lead in this matter, and that
opportunities will be then given to re-
teive the subscriptions of those who
VII want to contribute to the fund.
While it is likely that the business
men will take the lead in this mat
ter, it is certain that according to
ter means there will be no more gen.
e, ous contributors than the miners
and the wOrkingmen of Butte, who
well know that to him more than to
all other men do they owe the main

mining life.
While the movement is still in en-

The memory of Mr.. DAILY. Others fav-

Quilt, and also because a much more
,>'i'able site could be found in Ana

crowded city as Butte.
IN case Butte is decided upon as
hc city where the monument shall

,estiOn which met with greater favor
vas one that the monument should be
'Iaced in front of the new federal
'uilding near the corner of Copper
nd Main streets. This is right on
he brow of the hill, and the monu-
nept could be plainly seen from near
ali parts of the city. The appro-
of this location is readily
Understood by Butte people, as the
lorument would stand right between

d very close to this site. c
The site for the monument as well t

cneral view that a sufficient fund q
honld be raised so that monument \

onbtless begin this week. ?
