OF MARCUS DAILY
DREAM GREAT BUILDER HAD 90
YEARS AGO COMES TRUE IN


YEARS AGO COMES TRUE IN
ALL DETAILS
Sixty years ago the city Of Ana
conda was bat dream. II existed
only In the vision of Marcus DAILY.
Today that vision Of the great
builder Is q fact and In public spirit,
progress and stability Of its citizen
ship, Anaconda Is one of the states
leading cities.
1t is a long span Of years since the
founding of Anaconda, yet there are
the pioneers Of that district who recall
incidents Of those early formative days
when the foundations for present great
ness were laid. The pioneers remember
how 1t became necessary TO find a 10
cation for smelters to treat the ores Of
the Anaconda mines that had been de-
veloped on the hills Of Butte. Water
was an essential, transportation an
other, and the location site must be
available at reasonable cost. These were
the problems that Marcus DAILY had to
solve.
Kept Plans Confidential
He did not broadcast his plans, but
Deer Lodge vicinity received his first
consideration. The old-timers Of the
valley got wise that there was some
thing doing and values Of the desired
property scared. Three Forks, with its
abundant water supply was given a
careful survey, but mountain range
interviewed over which the ore must be
hauled. Then a location on the Big
Hole river was taken under considera-
ton and here was grade to climb to
be reckoned with. But Just at the en-
trance to Warm Springs creek canyon
there was an abundant water supply,
there were hills for the gravity system
that spelled economy Of operation,
there was down hill grade all the way
from the mines In Butte, and the site
was to be obtained by stroke Of d.
plomacy and shrewdness such as the
master mind easily conceived
Morgan Evans, substantial rancher
and horseman OF the valley, was COM
missioned to secure the site, In the
fan of 1882. His first purchase" says
a chronicle Of early days, was from
Gordon Vineyard, consisting Of the
land northeast Of the town, including
the site Of the upper works Next he
bought of Jacob Hartman the rights
be had acquired on the railroad land
which constitutes the site Of the city

and the stage was set for the first cleo
tons In the twin cities Of Anaconda and
Deer Lodge and the result In Anaconda
proved almost unanimous as to the
choice for mayor, William L. Hoge
being elected by 1905 votes against one
each for David Cohen and Pat Grogan.
James McNulty was chosen city
treasurer with 1911 votes and no OPP
position, but there was political bat
tie for the rest Of the offices in which
the democrats were victorious all down
the line. The winners we're George B.
Winston for city attorney, and ]. R.
Boarman for public magistrate.
First Council Meeting
The first meeting Of the city council
was called by the mayor at the office
Of T. d. Fitzgerald, justice Of the
peace for the township and the newly
elected police magistrate. Just where
that was no one seems to recall, though
lt is presumed that 1t was In the
building at the corner Of Oak street
and Commercial avenue. the latter
then known as First street.
George B. Winston was appointed
city clerk at this meeting.
A. L. Kempland was elected prest-
uCnt u tAkE (0lAAtA ain ~ 49, ~
vice president, unanimously. Five men,
bers of the council were appointed toI
act with the clerk, who was also the
city attorney, to draw up as many
working ordinances as possible for the
government Of the city and TO frame
rules for the city council.
This meeting was held Aug. 6. 1888,
and was adjourned for two weeks toll
meet Sept. 8, at Days hall. that being
the name Of a room in the Standard
building.
Mayor Hoge appointed as the first
chief of police, william Mckinney, with
the following policemen: A. w. Car
uthers, John Z. Mccarthy and Peter
Hale.
The fire department had its begin
ming in January. 1889, when the chief
Of police was instructed TO select a
site for a fire tower and secure bids
for its construction. Hose carts were
bought from the Anaconda Commercial
Co. at a cost Of $1,515, and contract
entered into with the water company
for 20 fire hydrants at $40 each per
7nnum. James Richie was appointed
The first chief Of the department.
