cal opposition from Big Business.
Corporate officials who formerly
criticized the administration for
its lending spending program of
billions OF dollars are in favor of
the governments credits being in
creased.
Business agrees that the rearm-
ament program should move along
at as low costs as possible. To aid,
corporations are avoiding specula-

If necessary. profits will be sac
rificed.
Interestingly general, business

Agree. V. Whitney. chairman
Of Pan-American Always, says
that if American manufacturers
aim TO smash Nazi-Fascist trade
influences in Latin America, they
had best do so via the sacrifice of
profit margins. But economists
aren't fully of that opinion.
Economists say that the totali-
tartan countries, with low costs
and government aid. can't compete
with American methods of effi--
cheney and large-scale output Yet
it's agree that narrower profit
margins would help entrench
American products in Latin-Amer-

/ the beneficiaries. All honor to Mon
tana'S first legislators. Theirs was a
difficult task under the most favorable
circumstances, which certainly were
not granted them. 1t is noteworthy
that they were able to accomplish
OF the great territory, soon to become
a state.
TT is recorded that shortly before
the election, Governor Edgerton Wis
ited. Virginia City for the first time.
IN August. 1864. A serenade was ten
you, Virginia City then had a band
and 1t 'discoursed sweet music Wheth-
! er the sweet music, or the arrival of
the governor drew a large crowd, I
! cannot say, but the crowd gathered,
and In the intervals of the music de-
manded Entertainments; The governor
addressed them in words that I have
been told caused some resentment on
the part of portion of the assembly.
I knew nothing of this at the time,
and have since tried to learn what
could have offended any. The Mon
tana Post OF Aug. q has this report
OF the occasion and the speech:
His Honor was loudly called for.
and addressed the crowd briefly. He
remarked that the growth of our beau
t1ul city appeared the work of magic;
the vast richness of our territory, its
! climate, mountain scenery, ETC., were
reckoning the honest emigrant to this
tive of our territory he pledged his
word that the laws should be executed.
This Is what the people want, and
what we know the governor and his
appointees will give us. Being one of us
the governor will labor earnestly for
the interest of our territory. His re-
marks were conservative political
harangue was INDUCED in
"One does not easily conceive what
OF sectionalism, or the like, could be
found in the speech reported, except
the one statement of vital Importance
made by the governor, namely, that
he pledged his word the laws should
be executed and the laws governing
us were those of the United States
alone. before our first legislature met,
II was this very objection to abide by
the laws of the United States, and this
! alone. which hindered action in the
early days of the legislative sessions.
The phenomenal growth of the ter
r1tory so lovingly dwelt upon by the
Post is justified in the account of
Judge Tufts labors as census taker.
When. in the middle of September, he
returned to Bannack, after making his
lengthy round of the settlements, he
had the names of 10000 persons en-
rolled. Over this vast eXpanse of noun
tain, forest and plain there were in
1864 that number Of white men and
women, engaged mainly in mining. No
wonder the governor was hopeful Of
Montana's future! But he lived to visit
this state in after years, and was graft
fled to find his prophecy fulfilled.
Many towns here then contained more
inhabitants than that original num-
Der OF the states first census, so labo-
rlously compiled by Judge Tufts"

Mining Machinery
Moved to En,igrant
From Gold Butte

Mining machinery used in 1897 and
1888 at Gold Butte in the Sweet Grass
hills was moved recently to the south
ern part of the state near Emigrant
by c. G. Parker of MisSoula. Machine
cry. consisting of draglines. shoyels
and washing plant was hauled in
one of the largest truck and trailer
outfits in the northwest.
Removal of the machinery signalizes
the end of placer operations which
began at Gold Butte in 1910 For sew
eral years there was much activity and
a boom town of considerable proper
tons arose there. Then, for many
years following. activity was confined
to operations Of few old-time miners
who settled there and lived off the few
dollars day in gold they washed out
of the earth.
In the spring of 1887 the Eclipse
Gulch Mining Co. was formed by Shell
by business men headed by P. r. Nc
Hale. Ray Larson and H. M. Kluth,
who hauled in the machinery needed
for large scale placer operations and
employed 80 men for nearly a year In
what proved to be a profitable venture.
The machinery was then utilized BY
the Gold Butte Placer Co. in 1898 for
smaller scale operation.
