The Butte inter mountain., 1902-11-29

England states, inasmuch as the COM
mercial relations between the South and
these geographical sections have become
very close Of recent years. The new in
dustrial South is largely the result of an
invasion of capital and energy from New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and the New
England states, which contributed their
big cotton mills to the manufacturing
movement in sluggish Dixie and con-
verted that section into hive of in
dustry. No doubt this has had much to
do with bringing about that change in
political sentiment as expressed by the
Commercial.Appeal. At the same time
the growth OF republican sentiment in the
South is not likely to be rapid. That
section will part with its political idols
and bury its traditions with great re-
luctancc. II will remain solid for
time, but il is encouraging to find
light breaking in upon it.

A LIGHT IN THE SOUTH.

Even as good an exponent of Southern
sentiment as the Memphis Commercial
Appeal is beginning to balk at continu-
Gus "solid South" THE Southern peo-
ple," remarks our contemporary "fnd the
solid South an incubus, and most persons
except the politicians would like diver
slhcation of political results. The negro
question is gradually solving itself, and
when that result has been reached, it
will not be undesirable that political con-
tests should be closer, and that the domi-
nant party should be forced to remain on
its good behavior or take the conse-
quences. We should like to sec the solid
South dissolved"
AS If afraid that it had said too much,
the Memphis paper remarks further that
II would like to see solid New England
and the solid West dissolved first"
Going further into this phase of the sub
ject, the Commercial-Appeal suggests that
the welding together of the West makes
it impossible for the South to think of
splitting up. The Southern states are
forced by that new political fact to cling
together. The greatest intolerance of the
South comes from the West. Indeed, the
greatest intolerance on all questions from
that section. 1t behooves us to hold to-
gethcr for our own salvation and all,
ourselves with that section most init
nlately connected with lis in business
If the democratic party is to win in the
future, its field of labor must embrace til.
states of New York, New Jersey, Con
necticut. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio"
The proposition for the South to ally
itself with that section most intimatel,
connected with it in business means tha
it should join with the Eastern and New

WHY INVADE CANADA?

No doubt there is money TO be made
by American capitalists III developing
the natural resources OF Canada In any
event there are many millions OF Ameri-
can dollars going into Canada for in
vestment. A recent report made by the
United States consul general at Montreal
notes score or more OF big enterprises,
some OF them agricultural and mining
and others purely industrial, which are
now under way, and all backed up by
American capital. A steel and coal com
pany, organized i'll New York. owns
1000 acres of ore and coal lands. and
has a capital of $4,000 900. Claus Spreck-
els. the San Francisco sugar man, has
organized a company with 100000
capital and will erect big sugar refinery
in Montreal. A Columbus CO.. syndicate
has purchased 6ooo,ooo acres of agricul.
tural and grazing lands and Minneapolis
syndicate has acquired much larger
tract
1t will' be good thing for Canada
to have this American capital go into
that country, and the men behind it have
a perfect right to place it there. At the
same time we beg leave to call the at
tention OF intending investors to Montana
and the northwestern country within the
limits of Uncle Sans domains as a very
excellent spot TO invest a few millions OF
idle dollars. We have agricultural, graz
ing and fruit lands here that cannot be
cxcelled anywhere. Neither must it be
imagined that there is but one Butte
camp in this state. 1t is the opinion
of experts that lying just below the sur
face Of our hills there are several such
camps that await development
What the mines and ranges OF Mon
tana have done and are now doing pre-
sent picture that is sufficiently pleasing
without looking under the ground for
probabilities. Official figures show that
the value of the gold silver, copper and
lead productions of Montana for the year
1901 was $6o,o3s,76I. or this amount
$4,8o2,7I7 was in gold, $Is,3344as III
silver, $36,7sI,s37 in copper and $4oS,62.
in lead. In period of forty years more
than $1,000. 900 have been taken from
the mountains and streams of the state.
Last year the county of Lewis and Clarke
produced $r,os6,r38 in gold and Madison
county $I,ooo,ooo. Granite county pro-
duced $s,353,3o4 in silver. Silver Bow,
of course, led the procession in copper
with aa7,74e,26a fine pounds. The yield
of lead in Meaghcr county was a,soo, 900
fine pounds. Two counties in the state
produced 100000 worth of sapphires
The wool clip was close to $4,000, ,ooo
pounds.
And SO it goes. American capital that
seeks profitable investment need not &c
into bleak and forbidding Canada to find
it. We have most of the good things OF
earth right here in Montana "on tap

Marks Is Back.

Arthur Marks, the manager OF the
Grand Opera house, is back from New
York city, where he completed arrange
ments for a number of high-class attrac-
tions which will be seen at the Grand dur

Many of the attractions will be new
to the local theater-going public. The Her
aid Square company will open three

repertoire will include the best comic
operas of the day.
Another notable event will be the ap-
pearancc of Florence Roberts in a roper
toire of plays, including "Zaza,t "Sappho,"

Mr.. Marks also gave out the informa-
ton that plans are being completed for
the building of an up-to-date theater in
Helena. The venture will be backed solely
by Montana capital, and the building, upon
which work will be commenced next
spring, will be one of the finest in the
Northwest and is estimated to cost $oo,-
900. The new theater will be strictly an
anti-syndicate house.
