Another County Heard From.

VI ATS ldtt eulLlOnS Decn aQVOCaLlne
the division of old Alturas county
The Haley Times has been depre.
eating such sad calamity, and
now comes the Range and Valley,
and in eulogizing a member of the
last legislature from Ada county,
it says:
"He battIed manfully for the interests
of this portion of AIturas, stood as firm
as the rock of Gibraltar for the formation
OF the new county of Gilmore, and by his
honest course on this question engendered
the everlasting hatred Of such sweet
scented ''incorruptibIe" ducks as Kings
bury and others of his ilk who were in
Boise that winter for the sole purpose of
Burnett izing and corrupting Legislators
and spending the innocent Wood River
peoples money in lascivious, riotous
living.
The Range and Valley hopes to see Mr.
Bailey again returned to the Capital next
winter, if he so desires, because we know
he will be found battling on the side of
right in freeing this people from the self
ish and communicating Wood Riverites by
tavoring the formation of new county
to be called Emore."
The Range and Valleys crock of
Gibraltar" is liable to be split. The
KEYSTONE is informed that strong
movement will be made next winter
to form a new county out of a por.
ton of that which it is proposed to
gobble up by creating Gilmore"
county. 1t is nothing more nor
less than the formation of another
county to be known as "Greenhorn,"
taking in the northwestern part of
old Alturas. The locality known
as the great Upper Country claim
! it as an actual necessity. The
boundary lines of Greenhorn county
have not as yet been definitely de-
cided upon, but as near as can be
ascertained at present, the initial
point of commencing the boundary
will be at or near the Gilmore House
at Mountain Home, and from thence
the lines will probably scatter. 1t
is proposed to take in all the i'm
portant points in Greenhorn gulch
and Muldoon, on Little Wood river
on the east, and extend the lines to
the castle domes of the Sawtooth
range on the west. This is thought
to be, by the selfish and contain
mating Wood Riverites," territory
enough, and to contain a popula-
ton requisite to support a county
government of the first class, with
salaries Of county officials of
maximum grade. For the present
it may be deemed expedient to To-
cate the county seat at Gimlet, that
being the most important town
within the proposed limits, and the
most convenient point for the peo-
pie of the new county, besides be-
ing already provided with suitable
buildings for the county offices, and
Jail, if needed. Thus obviating the
necessity of heavy draft upon the
county treasury for an appropria-
ton for building purposes until the
new machinery gets in good run
ming order. Upon the point of the
permanent location of the county
seat there will no doubt be consid-
cradle contention between Gimlet
and Augerville which will eventu-
ally have to be decided by a two
thirds vote of the two places. tits
expected that Greenhorn as well as
Gilmore will bear it's pro rata pro-
portion of the damage that will be
caused by the wrecking Of old AL
turas. There need be no fear but
what Greenhorn county will be
abundantly able to respond, as it's
revenue will be ample and its treas
ury plethoric. 1t is expected that
the next legislature will be COM
posed of such material that there
will be no need of any "Kingsbury-
izing or Burnett-izing," when such
important measures as the creation
of new counties come up. The
more county seat machines that
can be kept running the better it
will be, of course, for the tax payers.
Finally, if the appeals and griev-
ances are not properly recognized
by the legislature next winter, it
would be we'll for the people of the
proposed new counties to cooper
ate in trying if satisfactory arrange
ments cannot be made with Bill
Stewart for them to become attached
to Nevada, as it is more than likely
he would be content to take half
loaf, as he cannot get whole one.
