MASS MEETING NEXT MON
DAY EVENING Feb. l6
Citizens of Harley Are Urged to Gath
er at City Hall and Discus: Water
Question.

A mass meeting of Hurley citi-
zens and taxpayers will be held al
the city hall next Monday evening
Feb. 10. The meeting has been
called by the city authorities and
is for the purpose of discussing. the
question of whether or not the city
should purchase the equipment of
the Hurley Water company. Ev-
cry citizen and taxpay er is urged to
be present and give voice TO his
views on the subject.
The question of the city purchas-
ing the equipment of the elocal wat,
er company has been before the
city officials for several months.
1t first made its appearance last fall
when the president of the Hurley
Water company appeared at meet
ing OF the couuCilmen and broaChed
the subject, suggesting that the city
authorities consider the question of
taking over the equipment of the
company. Later a committee OF
councilmen was named to look into
the matter and report to the coun-
Gil The committee worked on the
matter for several weeks but i'll its
report TO the council did not COM
init itself either way and failed to
make any recommendation. 1t was
then decided to call mass meeting
for the purpose of getting the opin-
ions of Hurley citizens in the mat
ter.
AT the last meeting of the Com
mercial Club the water question was
discussed informally, the expires
sions of opinion. including that of
Mayor Henry Meade and a number
of business men, being against it.
Those in favor of the proposition
are few i'll numbers it seems, and
it is probable that the city will con-
tinue to purchase its water as it has
done for many years instead of un-
der municipal ownership plan.
At any rate the question will be
discussed pro and con at the meet.
ing next Monday evening and ev-
cry citizen interested in municipal
affairs should be present.

coming a one-fourth owner; and fol
years, until the Anaconda and other
mines owned by the four were &C
| CURED by the Amalgamated Copper
company, the Anaconda Mining com
pany was what is generally known as
"close corporation" But up to the
date of his death, Lloyd Tevis always
declared that, though he had conf
dence in Marcus Days judgment, he
thought he was chasing chimera;
that the theory upon the elaboration
of which Mr.. DAILY had spent many
| sleepness nights and all his substance
was fallacious and that no silver
| copper deposit would ever be dis
covered in the Butte mountain Mr..
Tevis and his mining partners never
dreamed that the Anaconda would
prove a more veritable bonanza than
the Comstock lode. AS for DAILY, he
had never doubted his ultimate sue
cess, and when a few months there
after the shaft of the Anaconda pene-
trated, as he had always believed it
would, the richest and most extensive
silver-copper deposit in the known
world, he conveyed the news to his
California partners in brief tele-
gram.
Thirty-one Years Ago.
AS 1 recall it, my acquaintance
with Marcus DAILY commenced in
1889. During a visit to st. Paul,
Mimi, in the fall of that year, the
great fire in the Anaconda and st.
Lawrence mines occurred, and when
/ handed him message announcing
the disaster, his first remark was not
one of concern for his property, but
for the families of the men whose
lives it was reported had been lost,
and his next to the effect that he
would have to sail pretty close to
the wind now"
In consequent years and after my
employment as his private secretary,
1 had many opportunities to discern
his sterling qualities, and to me his
his consummate
abilities, his master-mind, marked
the man among men.
He was particularly the friend of
the young man, and more especially !
of the one who tried to help himself. |
For the young fellow he had always a
place and he sought to make the
young man know himself; and he
trusted them without reserve, for a |
decade almost, the titles to number |
of after-acquired valuable properties, |
standing in the names of other than
the real owners.
About the first thing he said to me |
was that he thought every young fell |
low with ambition, ought to go to
the legislature and there make for
himself mark, and, although 1 de- |
faulted in that respect and concerned |
myself with other things, the impress |
of my error in that regard and of his |
superior judgment yet remains, for |
he saw the opportunity of such serv-
ice to the public, the statewide ac-
quaintance that thereby would be |

MONTANA COMING BACK STRONG; NOT LIKE
BWS0MESS-S1GK EAST, j CRIMSON DECLARES

MILFORD ]. Johnson, retiring presi
dent of the Montana Bankers asso
citation, takes an optimistic view o
financial conditions of the state ant
discusses preparations of railroads t.
move this years bumper crop t.
eastern markets.
That Montana, after three years o
adversely, owing to drouth and con
sequent crop failures, will this veal
be rated as one of the leading grain
producing states of the Union, was
the statement of Johnson in an inter
view after the bankers convent ior
last week. johnson declared that fol
the last three years Montana has
been shown in black on the map Of
crop-producing states of the Union
the. color indicating failure. "But
this year." he said, that color will
be changed.
Scattered out in the valleys and
on the broad plains of the state are
100000 or 100000 persons who are
vitality concerned in the yield and
the price of wheat. Farming is an
important industry to the men and
women who make up the larger part
VI tAO VI sAhio 6dthSi ~ .
and the prosperity of the farmer and
his mental attitude toward the polft-
ical and financial problems that are
facing us is going to be deciding
factor in solving our problems" stat
ed Mr.. Johnson.
Crop Prospects Good.
1.-THE business of estimating is al
ways hazardous, but the best sources
of information now agree that 3d.
100000 bushels will be very close to
the wheat yield. The state is spotted
in an unusual degree, but there are
few places where the crop even ap-
proaches failure, and many places
Where 1t is extra good. There is
little doubt that a general price of 81
a bushel can be counted on.
Great Northern.
1.-THE car situation on the Great
Northern has, of course, been acute
all over the country, due to abnor-
NAL movement and unusual demand
for equipment and inability of car
riers to provide necessary equipment
during the period of federal control,
due to war conditions. We are now
receiving a large number of cars
from eastern lines. While there will
be some car shortage during the
grain shipping season, we anticipate
having cars enough to move grain
forward IN fairly regular manner,
according to kilograms I have re-.
ceived from w. p. Kenney."
Northern Pacific.
~. M. Hannaford says: My opinion
the grain car situation on
the Northern Pacific lines this fall
IL that it will be very acute and that
rowers should take every step posi-
Bile to protect their grain until cars
can be furnished. You can be assured

Milwaukee.

! Milwaukee.
III E. Byram of the Milwaukee
wires: In regard to car situation
this fall, as you know there hav
been very few cars built during tn
past five years in the country, scarce
lily enough to take care of the ordi
nary requirements, and without an.
provision for additional cars to tax,
care of constantly-increasin bust
ness. This is going to make it diff
cult to provide cars to meet all de
4 mands, but we rejoice with you ovel
the splendid prospects for grain croI
in Montana this year, and will make
| special, efforts to provide cars in
! which to move it to market
Increase in Loans.
! Bankers of the state have Dor
rowed around 100000. One
third of the wheat crop will pay this
borrowed money. Loans of the banks
of the state have increased $4,000
600 above last year at this time
This is a larger increase than nor
NAL, but it is not excessive" he con-
tinued
"A word should be said today
about the attitude of the comptroller
of currency at Washington and of
the office of Commissioner Magraw
at Helena. Both of these depart
ments have, so far as l can learn,
shown spirit of liberality, a tend
ency to recognize conditions as they
exist, and work them out to the best
advantage, a desire to cooperate in
every way.
State Agriculture Commissioner
Greenfield concludes from his own
reports and government figures that
100000 cattle were marketed last
year. He states that the common
wealth has 100000 cattle now.
there should be marketed
800, 900 beef cattle within go days.
Beef money and sheep money, and
the additional return from wool
money should bring in $40,000,0 600
Of clean, new wealth by Christmas
Add this to our wheat money and 1t
brings to the people of Montana a
round hundred million with which |
20 start off the new year. 1t there
lore SENS to me that we should be
very happy and hopeful"
In conclusion the retiring presi-
lent said:
I'VE have no inflated land boom
PAPER, no war baby factories suf-
ering from sleeping sickness, no
merchants. Our friends
n New York and Chicago and the
Twin Cities and Spokane and Omaha
md on the coast have been very
rood to m. We are now at the

1t is we'll known that Marcus DAILY
came from County Cavan, Ireland
reached California by way of the
route travelled by the early argo
nauts, took up mining as an occupa-
ton and followed that pursuit until
the time of his death, generally in
the capacity of director of mining
operations, though working on occa-
sions as an ordinary miner. He left
the Comstock, where he had been en-
ployed, and went to eastern Nevada
where he followed the business OF
mining expert; thence to Utah, in
which territory he was placed in
charge of work for the Haggin-Hearst
syndicate, r. G. Chambers, the Walk
er Brothers of Salt Lake City, and
others. Subsequently he reached
Montana, coming here at the behest
of the Walkers and by reason of the
ability he had displayed as a miner
in Utah, procured an interest in the
Alice silver mine at VAUDEVILLE and
became superintendent of the proper
ty. Selling his interest at a profit,
and being of highly developed initi-
alive, Mr.. Days attention was at
tracted by the possibilities of the
Anaconda mine at Butte, then but a
prospect, succeeded in enlisting capt.
tai for its development, and within a
comparatively short space of time
made the property a wonderful pro-
Queer, shortly thereafter establishing
the town of Anaconda, building
shelters and subsequently railway
to connect that place with the mines.
All this accomplished by his pluck,
for If he had become downhearted as
others before him, Butte might yet
be in its infancy.
Some Luck, Too.
When the outlook was the blacklist
and this indomitable captain of men
had practically exhausted his re-
sources, it is said a fortunate circum-
stance placed in his hands a suffi-
cient sum of money to transform in
evitable defeat into certain victory.
]. B. Haggin with Senator George
Hearst and Lloyd Tevis, of San Fran
cisco, who had been visiting their
Homestake properties in South Dako-
ia, stopped at Butte ON their way back
to California to take look at the
new camp. Marcus DAILY knew them
well, having formerly worked for
them. Daily was up against it finan
cially and appealed to them for aid,
saying that in his judgment an addi-
tiona1 hundred feet or so in depth
would demonstrate the Anaconda to
be mine and not a prospect. In
the Nevada country, where Mr.. Hag-
gin and his mining partners had OPP
Grated extensively, the lodges had
netered ont aft denfh and thare was
no telling whether similar situa-
ton did not exist in the Butte dis
trict. However, having confidence in
his judgment, they advanced DAILY |
the necessary funds with which to con-
tinue operations and secured an equal
interest in the property, each be- |

had it sent to his hotel. 1t had been
wound up and needed only the turn
of a key to send forth it's music.
Later ON Mr.. DAILY got the machine
from the office and started out the
front door of the hotel for a carriage.
In some way he accidentally rubbed
the musical instrument against the
doorway, turning the key. Just as
Mr.. DAILY reached the sidewalk "An-
ME Roney" pealed forth from the box
under his arm. He put on his
