FROM FOUR MILE.

Four MILE, I. r., Dec "a, 1882.
EDITOR TELLER The division ques
is on the boom at Moscow they have
petition in favor of dividing the coun-
ty in center Of township 80 north, a
sort Of compromise which they the d.
visionists of Moscow loudly boast is
fully agreed on by the people north of
Moscow. Now the fact is, if the peo-
pie north were in favor of division at
the present time, they would prefer 20
locae the south line Of the new county
center of township 80 north would
suit us better but let the fact be
known to all men in and about the City
'of Moscow, that the people north of
the Seven mile mountain are opposed
to any division of county in the
twelfth session IF the Idaho legisla
ture or removal of county seat. We
fully mean this by the circumstances
sent to the legislature at Boise, which
fact is undisputable, evidences OF
our wishes in this matter. We want no
trading, traffic or compromise in favor
of division at present. No person or
persons or parties, ministers or ENJOYS
extraordinary are, or have been au-
thorized to make any treaty or any
compromise Of any county lines for us.
We have sent our remonstrance against
any division, and now enter our pro
test to all persons that are interested,
that we remain firm against any divi-
sion of the county at present. Those
petitions are being sent around to all
places north and some money offered
to induce parties to work for the new
order Of Moscow. The offices have
been used till there is no more vacant,
unless the legislature creates more Of
fees to be filled in the new county.
Money has been raised to send an en-
voy, or fourth member from Moscow
to Boise. All the corrupt schemes
the followers Of satan are in possession
of will be used, with parson Taylor
thrown in to help on the work Of the
building up the property of the prime
movers of this division business. They
are to furnish the music and the tax
payers are to dance to it to raise anc
enhance their private property. The
hest laid plans of mice and men often
gaug and better for them to expenc
their money, time and talent in work
ing the public roads, clearing Of the
mud, filling up The chuck holes, and
furnishing some solid convenience and
public highways for the use of the
people to visit Moscow, instead Of
sending in bills for rent and for ser
vices of judge of school election, ane
petition seven hundred dollars TO ex
pend on roads and bridges, and stol
this ranting and railing Of thieving a

clusively, the small picagunish bill
sent from Moscow to the board Q
county commissioners to pay, bu

board, as Moscow calls them. Ate

see they will not scruple at any mean
to accomplish their ends. They hav
sent men to humbug your people--lis'
en- not to their siren songs nor trus
their oily tongues. They in their eas
erness will misrspressut facts and tr
to induce your people-they represen
the people north who signed their pc
tition, but they were very careful nc
to show any petitions to any of GU
people after their return from Pin
Creek. The post office petition an
affidavit is simply one of the mean
and all ncocted at Moscow in the il
} terest Of the small Moscow money.
