On Nov. II the governor issued
his proclamation providing that
the legislative assembly should
meet at Bannack on the second
Monday of December, 1864.
The Society of Montana Pion-
GERS has a copy of these poll books
and a list of all voters, at this cleo
ton and their perusal discloses the
names of very few men who still
survive after nearly So years. The
society many years ago by resolu-
ton placed these names on its reg
lister of members and they should
some time be published.
Thus was our first capital To-
Gated at Bannack. The story of
its removal to Virginia City is a
shorter one. The Legislature pass
ed a law without opposition remov-
ing the capital to Virginia City,
but said nothing as to when it
should be done.
President Lincoln believed in
home rule for the territories and
when looking for a governor he sell
ected Chief Justice Sidney Edger-
ton, an old resident of the region
of Idaho now incorporated into the
new political division and future
state. When it came to selecting a
secretary he had more difficulty
and first named H. P. Torsey on
June p, 1864. Mr.. Torsey consid-
cred the matter and probably stud
led geography and during the win
ter finally declined the appoint
ment. One of Mr.. Lincoln's last
acts early in March, 1865, was to
appoint John Coburn Of Indiana
to the position but three or four
months later he also declined.
years later Coburn was
made an associate justice of the
supreme court of Montana, a posi-
ton which he held a few months.

Johnson commissioned General

of Montana and he shortly after

For thirty years from 1866 I'M
til 1894 the capital of Montana was
on the move" That was a stock
phrase in Montana, but it always
referred to the legal squabbles and
elections and lawsuits and forger-
les, and not to the actual transfer
of the executive offices.
Will Aiken, secretary to the gov
ernor, was familiar with all this,
but the other day he wante5 to
know when the capital was actual
ly moved from Bannack to Virgin
ia City and when it was actually
moved from Virginia City to Hell
ena, and | had to take a little time
for reflection. Both incidents are
very interesting and / believe have
never been reviewed fully. In
much of the history of the state
and territory written to date exact
dates r seldom given, years or
months are considered sufficiently
definite, and a new deal should be
1naugurated.
The organic act creating Mon
tana territory passed congress May
Is and was signed by President
Lincoln May 70, 1864. The exc
cutive officers provided by the act
were a governor, secretary, attor-
ney-general, marshal and surveyor
general. The act provided that the
first four officers should reside in
the territory and that the surveyor
general should locate his office
where the secretary of the interior
directed. The act also provided
that the governor should designate
the place where the first session of
the legislature should meet and
when, and accordingly he design
ated Bannack as the place.

Far up a snow-bound ravine some
20 miles to the south of Butte, ami6
all the loneliness of a wilderness
stands a relic, or rather a crumbling
landmark of the site of a once pros
porous city, but which is now little
more than a hazy memory in the
minds of a few of the remaining old
frontiersmen.
To the casual observer on a win
try day it presents a spectacle nc
more inviting than a rambling, old
log cabin, half buried in the snow
with perhaps a wreath of smoke curl
ing dejectedly from its chimney.
with the early day history of Silver
Bow county, it is more; it is the last
building that remains to mark the
site of Highland City, gold camp and
frontier town.
That is not all, however, for the
last remaining house also forms the
abode for the last, who was also one
of the first residents of the camp.
The occupant is none other than John
Kern, now past rs years, who came
to Highland City when it was at the
height of It's prosperity and who has
remained on long years after pow
erty has driven the rest of its popu-
lation to greener fields.
1t was back in '66 when Kern ar
rived in Highland City which then
boosted 800 houses, 10 saloons, five
dance halls and not a single church.
For about a year the little city pros
pered and then the diggings were
worked out.
Population Leaves
AS the gold began diminishing, so
did the population of the camp But
John Kern still-had faith in the dig
gings. He was among the first there
and he was still there a few seasons
later, when he saw the last of his
~prospector friends load hissbelongings
on his wagon and with his wife and
family start down the trail.
Year after year he has labored, and
on occasions, in the summer of 1908,
he was partially rewarded for his eff
forts when he uncovered what he de-
