Mn. ED1roR,-Ify you will give me room
i'll your valuable paper I will try and
give my views in regard to dividing the
county. In your last paper the question
was asked, Who petitioned our Legisla-
ture for it? I answer. no one. Mr.. Mel
son said at the Hamilton convention,
that if the people in any part would petit
ton the Legislature he would feel HIM
self in duty bound to support the same.
1t appears to me that he telt himself
under an obligation to carry this without
a petition. 1t seems to me that he knew
better what thcpcople wanted than they
did themselves. always thought man
elected by the people was only servant,
but in this case lie sets himself up us
dictator for the people. My view is
that it was done for the purpose Of re-
tanning the county scat at Pclnbina.
Honest Jud and n. f. see plainly that
the western, part Of the county is getting
too strong for them, and if they do not
split it that the county seat would
eventually be removed from Pembina.
Every man that votes for division might
as well vote for the county seat to stay
where it is This is one reason for this
rash act. Why has this election to be
forced on us at this time? 1t robs our
treasury of at least 81 600 If this money
was to be taken and expended on the
roads it would be of some benefitto the
people of the county. Now it is to be
thrown away where it will do no one any
good, and if the county is divided it
forces an enormous debt ON the new
county at least four years before they are
able to run county organization. twill
be with them as it was with this county.
1t was organized at least six years before
it was able to pay the running expenses,
and by the time we were able to pay for
running the county we were $4,000 in
debt, and then we had no court house or
Jail. Now is the new county going to do
as we did?-organize and run themselves
into debt from $4,000 to $4,000 and
this will be the case. So think it will
be the duty of every man in the new
county to think about and vote against
such ruinous scheme. And shall we
try to put such burden on our neightors
as we have? 1t will take us twenty years
to pay off our debt. Our county was or
ganized for political purposes, and our
county warrants were sold from thirty to
fifty cents in the dollar. There was only
one or two to buy, though, and this will
be the case with our neighbors if they
allow themselves to be organized now.
1t will cost at least 81 600 to get q. full set
of county books. For this alone they
will have to give $4,000 in county orders
to start. Just think, the new county has
not even yingletownship in the market,
yet all squatters have to pay.
Yours truly,
| -, JOHN BEcIITEL.

Biting Horses.

Horses have been successfully cured Of
this vice by putting piece of hard wood
an inch square in the animals mouth
about the same length as an ordinary
snaffle bit. 1t may be fastened by a
thong of leather passed through two
holes in the ends of the wood, and Sc
cured to the bride. It must be used in
addition to the bit, but in no way to i'm
pede the working of the bit. Rarey
adopted this plan with the zebra in the
Zoo, which was terrible brute at biting.
Mr.. Rarey succeeded, however, in tam
ing and training him to harness, and
drove him through the streets Of London.
Animals with this vice should be treated
with kindness in the stable, and not
abused with pitchtork handles, whips,
etc. An apple. a crust, piece of beef,
ETC., and kind pat, but firm, watchful
hand and eye, with the use of the above
wooden bit. will cure the most inveterate
bitter. The fact that he cannot shut his
mouth or grip anything soon .dawns upon
him, and then he is conqucred.-Toron-
to Globe. t

Mr.. Campbell has $50 acres of wheat

when the date of settlemet is re-
membered.
Messrs. Ross and Weagant and the
Miller Bros. have been here for the
past few weeks. They are all Jolly good
fellows and rumor has it that some of
them will ere long turn their backs on
Bachelordom and confer boon on our
society by introducing their good
ladies. Bring them along boys and we
promise them warm welcome into our
sewing circles, etc.
We have heard that there is no little
wondering aud specializing as to the
location Of our town." which we pro-
pose to set at rest by stating that Buffalo
Head is about.six miles south and three
miles west of Cavileer. One year ago
this section Of country was prairie prime
val; now every quarter section is taken
and the prairie is dotted with houses.
The settlers are mostly from Ontario and
are an intelligent, progressive people.
Thus far Cavileer has been our post
office, but steps are being taken to have a
postoffice established here, which will
supply much felt want.

would throw some light on the:subject.. :
Another large party arrived here a

country.
An effort is being made to organize a
