territory was to be created and his
success this time was probably due to
the inSistence of the democrats on the
name Jefferson"
Another champion of the name
Montana" was the leader of the anti
secessionist democrats, Stephen A
Douglas, to whom it was suggested by
Gen. J. w. Denver. governor of Kan

Denver was christened. Douglas was
chairman of the senate committee on
territories when the question of divld-
ing up the great Rocky mountain
country into administrative areas was
first preached, but he died before the
bills had been introduced for the Gre
alton of either Idaho or Montana.
In a letter to Wilbur Edgerton San
ders, son Of Montana's first senator,
F. M. Clavenger, who had been private
secretary to Governor Denver, told OF
the meeting between the two men at
which the question of an appropriate
territorial name was discussed.
In this letter, dated March IA, 1905,
Clavenger says:
som Ell inc during the fifties,
Stephen A. Douglas, who was In the
senate, invited General Denver to call
at his house, the two being fast friends.

sage by the house, preferring to defeat
the measure rather than permit the
name to be changed. Previously, when
the organization of Colorado was be-
ing discussed both Montana" and
Idaho had been proposed as names
for that territory. When Sidney Edger-
ton, chief justice of Idaho, was dis
patched from Bannack to the national
capital to urge the separation of the
territory east of the Bitter Root
mountains, he was instructed by his
associates to champion the name
Montana" although the legislature at
Lewiston had declared in favor Of
jefferson" as the designation of the
proposed new territory.
Cox DiSliked Name
The story of the final debate In
the house over the name is related as
follows in Sanders contribution to the
reports of the Montana historical So
ciety:
On Dec. IA, 1868, Ashley introduced
a bill before the house of representa-
tives to provide temporary govern
ment for the territory of Montana.
This bill. after being referred back to
the committee on territories, was
placed before the house for action on
March IT. 1864. and was generally dis
cussed.
Cox, democrat of Ohio, desired to
say that he did not like the proposed
name of the new territory. II do not

Idaho Rejects Name
To a degree the naming OF Montana
was a partisan issue as a considerable
number of confederates who had been
defeated in the fighting in Missouri
were among the pioneers and the Idaho
cratic trend by asking that the new
territory. which was to be carved out
Of Idaho, be named jefferson. James
M. Ashley, chairman of the committee
on territories of the house, who later
became governor of Montana, had been
consistent champion of the name

given the territory of Idaho by the
bill reported back by his committee OIL

Some Beautiful Stones
Building stones Of endless varieties
and great beauty are found through
out the state. Sandstones, imestones,
marbles, states and GRANTEES of best
quality occur in many places accessible
to railroad transportation. In like
manner ornamental stones await de-
velopment. Onyx. alabaster and SER
pentine of desirable quality are found
in central Montana. ClayS for brick
and pottery manufacture are plentiful
and are already utilized in numerous
plants throughout the state. The lime
and cement rock resources Of Montana
are unlimited. In central Montana
enough material to supply all mankind
for an indefinite period is available.
Hot springs and mineral waters Of
therapeutic value are plentiful in the
central and western section OF the
state
Although the resources mentioned
above are important, they pale into
insignificance when compared with
the metallic resources Of the state. The
gold, silver and copper mines OF Mon
tana have not only been prime factors
in the growth of the state, but they
are intimately interviewer with its his
tory so that a proper conception OF
the history of Montana involves an
appreciation of the development of its
metallic wealth.
The Montana pioneers who followed
the fur traders were inspired mainly
by desire for gold. Mountain ranges
were climbed, streams forded, Indians
we're fought, death in many forms was
faced, all in pursuit OF gold. And gold
was found in plenty. Bannack and
