IL tn law creating Powell county
changing its name to Deer Lodge This
neNsDt,er was the first to suggest that
til north end of Deer Lodge county re-
tain the old name and that the south
end in which is situate Anaconda. be
named DAILY county. AS We have before
observed all the old traditions surround
ing the early history of Montana. and
particularly western Montana, demand
that the fine old town of Deer Lodge
remain in the county Of Deer Lodge. To
Lave Deer Lodge city in Powell county
and thl city of Anaconda in Deer Lodge
county. would be incor sruous. The whole
ARRANGEMENT would be unnatural and
out of joint. There We're undoubtedly
good reasons for passing the Powell
county bill as introduced. but the new
county having now been created. there
surely can be no valid objection to
amending the law making the changes
suggested Natural conditions and the
sentiment involved strongly urge that it
be done.
As this journal has before said. the
creation of DAILY county. containing as
itzw ould the-city which Mr.. DAILY founded
and the world renowned smelling plant
which his genius and energy brought
into existence. would be a most consist
ent and at the same time a natural and
pleasing way in which to commemorate
his life and perpetuate his memory.

GOING AFTER OIL.
Exploration Companies Should
Be Formed...Grand Valley a
Promising Field.

Parachute can raise $4,000 for the
exploration OF the erouad in that vicin-
ity for oil. certainly Grand junction
ought to be able to do something.
With such an abundance Of evidence
that oil exists in Mesa county, we should
have faith sufficient toAraise a company
and sell sufficient stock to bore for this
great article of commerce.
There are several parties now in the
Plateau country who will make thor
ough investigation regarding the oil out
flow from the natural wells in that sec
tion and on their return some one should
take up the work Of organization to se
cure sufficient funds to make the proper
borings.
Throughout Colorado today there are
being organized companies for oil ex-
ploration, 10 srctions that do not give
half the promise that this county doee.
Oil is a good bit like gold or silver, it
is where you find it. Because the Flor
epce section has oil in abundance, it does
not aQue that it cannot be found else
where in the state
10 eastern Utah, near Vernal, there is
quite an excitement on oil exploration.
That section lies practically in the same
iire as does the western portion OF Mesa
county and there is no reason whatever
that, even in this valley proper, there
may not be oil.
or course everybody is skeptical, until
some one takes the lead in matter like
this and after discoveries are made, and
they all cry in unison. they knew there
was oil in Mesa county and they will,
parrot like. repeat how many times tney
have told you so.
When sufficient Investigations have
been made let us get together and organ
ize a strong company for work and not
talk.
