The Sank Centre HERALD is again
talking county division. This is
nothing new for the HERALD
St. ClouHd Tunes.
Don't for moment think that the
talking is confined to the HERALD.
1t but voices the united sentiment of
the western portion of the county,
which has ell too long been deprived
of its Just dues. The fact is that
Stearns county is too large-a fact
the Times acknowledges by its
silence when it is affirmed. If there
were a plausible argument against
division the st. Cloud papers are
not 50 stupid as not to discover it,
nor so modest as not to publish it.

LET US 60.

No argument has yet been adduced
against the position assumed BY the
people of Western Stearns that
they are justly entitled to be set off
from Stearns couaty and PERMITTED
to erect a county of their own. and
indeed none can be. There Is ample
territory, sufficient wealth, perfect
unity and harmony of interests, and
nothing will prevent it unless it be
she unwillingness of the eastern end
of the county to yield to us that to
which We are entitled by every con.
sideration Of equity. For years We
have been subjected to extraordinary
expense and submitted to every con.
eeivable nconvenience to which we
have chserfully submitted. All that
10 asked at this time is that we may
be permitted to enjoy such benefits
rs We have been contributing to for
our more favored friends Of the
easterly towns. It cannot be denied
that We are at q great disadvantage
which 10 more keenly felt year by
year. In all matters Of public bust.
ness at the county seat We are under
an embargo.practically cut off from
1t on account of remoteness.
While there are hundreds of resi-.
dents of st. Cloud and vicinity who
eheerfully acknowledge that fact,
will they, as body vote to render
us the simple justice we desire?
Opportunity will doubtless be given
them ere many months.

Our merchants and business men
have been less aggressive in the past
than they will be in the future, in the
matter Of cooperating for the COM
mon welfare. The Board of Trade
will be recognized on an active
footing, and its membership in.
creased until every active business
man is embraced in the list. FIRE.
quent meetings will be held and a
united effort made to foster and
encourage every project or scheme
calculated to improve the village and
contiguous and tributary territory,
OF add to its material welfare. The
fact is pretty generally acknowledged
that in the past there has not been
the activity in this direction which
there ought to have been. Affairs
have boon allowed to drift at will.
This community does not lack in
libsrality or enterprise, but the fact
is that there has been too little
organized and cooperative effort
put forth for tho common good.
There are a number of desirable
enterprises lacking which may be
supplied providing proper steps are
taken and vigorously pushed.
Among them may be noted an iron
bridge across the rivera better
market for farm produce of all
kinds better railroad facilities, Civ
ing shippers and travellers facilities
not now enjoyed. These are a few,
but there arc others equally import.

ing q united effort be made. The
season of 1887 promises to be the

make it so is proper exertion.

Gen. Logan's death removes from
