attorneys for one Of the Alturas
bondholders, a few days ago de-
manded the sum Of 5000, from
County Treasurer Golden, claiming
that amount due Alturas as Elmore's
portion of interest on the bond debt.
Mr.. Golden very sensibly refused to
recognize the demand. Gilmore
county has the money laid aside TO
pay her share of the Alturas in
terest, and will do so whenever old
Alturas complies with the law and
has the debt apportioned by proper
officials. But until that is done
the money will remain in the Treas
urer's safe.
We see by the Wood River papers
that John Haley, chairman of the
Logan Board Of Commissioners. has
worked up a compromise on this
matter with the Commissioners of
Alturas, but why he should, in be-
half of Logan, consent to such ac-
ton is a puzzler to all who are ia
miliar with the treatment of the
Logan and Gilmore representatives
when they appeared in HALEY to
comply with the law regarding the
apportionment of the Bonded indebt-
enness Of old Alturas.
Another peculiar thing regarding
the amount due from Logan and
Gilmore is that although the valua-
ton of property in Logan is one
third more than that of Gilmore,
yet Logan's share, under compro-
mise, ($5, 1907 is but $50 more than
the sum demanded from Gilmore
($5,020) by Mr.. Blossom, for
Angel & Sullivan.
| The Ketchum Keystone gives the
John HALEY compromise" in sub
stance as follows:
A compromise has been effected
between the County Commissioners
of Alturas and Logan counties in
reference to the latter named coun-
ty's proportion of the interest due
on the bonded indebtedness OF Al
turas county, and interest to become
due July lat 1890. BY the terms
of the compromise, the Auditor o.
Logan county is ordered to draw his
warrant in favor of the Treasurer o.
Alturas county for $500 as the
approximate proportion of interest
due on the bond debt of Altura'
county January LIST, 1890. And il
consideration of Alturas county
withdrawing all further proceedings
under the levy on property, so fal
as embraced within the limits o
Logan county, and further relin
gushing ali claims to collect bond
interest tax due in 1890, the Com
missioners of Logan county will
before the 1st day of July, 1890, or
der the Auditor of that county t.
draw warrent in favor Of tn,
Treasurer of Alturas county for thu
sum of IS, 100, the amount then du'
; on the bonded debt.
If the people Of Logan sanction
the above action of John Haley
then indeed do they deserve tn
. ridicule that will surely be heapeC
, upon their devoted heads by al
, who can interpret the plain Englisl
which we quote from the act Great
ing and organizing the counties o
Elmore and Logan and defining tn
! boundaries Of Bingham and Altura
counties:
Sec. z. The Indebtedness of Al
2 turas county at the date of the pas

portion that the taxable property c
the three counties Fave acquire
from Alturas county, and that tn
four counties bear to each other a
shown by the assessment roll of tn
n year 1883 in Alturas county, and a
their regular meeting in April, 1873.
