SMALLPOX AT CARROLL.

County Physician Feenan got wind of
a suspected case of smallpox at Carroll
yesterday afternoon and upon fnvestiga-
ton found an elderly man with well
developed case in a small room attached
to a dwelling which is occupied by a
large family. The patient, who has been
nursing the disease for a week. was Or
dered to the pest house and taken there
late yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Feenan was unable to give the
mans name and declined to give the ex-
act location of the residence where he
was found. While there was a family in
the same building. the patient. who real
lied what his sickness was from the
start, has exercised every precaution
and has had his food passed in through
the window, and the doctor believes no
one has been exposed. and that no other
cases or a spread of the disease will re-
suit from his stay there.

ENGLISH SHIPS
were NOT GOOD
UNITED STATES SWINDLED ON
WAR VESSELS BOUGHT FROM
ENGLISH BUILDERS.

New York, Jan. 15.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Men of war purchased by the United
States from English shipbuilders or built
on English designs for the American
navy do not possess the stability Of
American designed and constructed
ships
This was the opinion expressed by Rear
Admiral George w. Melville. engineer in
chief of the United States navy, who
continued:
1--WE have found that the ships pur-
chased from British ship builders are not
as stable as our ships are, Two ships
purchased during the war with Spain
were special obiec,s of concern and as a
result of an inclining test of one of
them, Naval Constructor Bowles report
ed her unsea worthy. This finding was
based. however, upon erroneous data. for
the reason that the weights below deck
had been removed, the guns remaining in
place Another test showed that she
was tender-that is approaching instab1l-
ity--and that her stores below acted as
ballast We make our ships more stable
than this being particularly careful to
attain the proper height. There is no
reason why any of the British ships
should be unstable. The battleships the
British build have great depth of hold
breadth of beam and draught and thes'
conditions make them very likely to be
stable / do not think it is proper tic
question the ability of the English nava
constructors to build anything that
floats. They are the best ship builders
in the world"

that his performance is the very top

FOR DAILY COUNTY
TO PERPETUATE NAME OF THE
FOUNDER OF ANACONDA.
POWELL WILL BE DROPPED.
And Deer Lodge Will Be Substituted
After the Bill Passes as Now
Proposed.

/ II was talked about town yesterday
that John r. Toole, while home last
Sunday, had made the statement to some
friends that the independent democrats
would give their support to the DAILY
county bill now before the Legislature.
Mr.. Toole is also reported to have said
that nothing would please Mrs. Marcus
DAILY and family more than to have the
name of her late husband perpetuated in
Montana, by having new county Great
ed in his honor. with Anaconda as the
county seat. So it is a sure thing that
the Daily county bill will pass the legis-
latifre. If the fate of the measure depends
upon the present delegation from Deer
Lodge county.
1t is claimed. too, that the representa-
tives from this county will favor the en-
actment of the bill creating Powell cOun
ty in the north, so it would seem that the
old time honored name of Deer Lodge
would be dropped in the event both bills
should pass with certain notifications.
But it is claimed in Anaconda, and the
statement is purported to have come di-
rect from John X. Tooe that there is
scheme on foot to save the name of Deer
that 1t will be done in a very simple and
effective manner The plan, so it is said.
is to change the name of Powell county,
after that bill becomes law, by the en-
actment of another measure making the
segregated portion in the north read
Deer Lodge county.
Without getting around to it in this
manner to retain the old name in the
north would not be so satisfactorily
brought about. The citizens of the town
of Deer Lodge especially. do not want
the present officials to go down there If
they can help it. They want to name
their own officers and they will not have
the present coterie if they can get out of
having them. The Independent demo-
Gratis of course. desire to see the lncum-
bents up at the court house serve out
their terms, so the plan is to have them
appointed to serve in the same capacity
for the proposed county of DAILY.
The county division talk has brought
up some interesting problems some that
are so conflicting it is difficult to arrive
at an amicable conclusion between the
various ones Interested The movements
of the legislators in this matter is being
watched very closely in Anaconda.

WEATHER CUTS CAPERs.

Anaconda people We're served with an
assortment of weather yesterday. All
day long steady drizzling rain fell
which kept up till about six o'clock when
it turned into a binding snow storm. 1t
was a furious blizzard in other words
such as residents of the Dakotas are ac-
customed to. For time yesterday it
looked as if the fine sleighing was a thing
of the past. on account of the ravages of
the chinook. but this morning the ground
was covered with snow, the weather
turned colder and sleishing was made
just as good as it was before the thaw
came.
