The division of Polk county is causing
more comment there than the political
campaign. The original scheme was for
q division into four-Nash. Rid Lake,
Columbia and Polk. Nash county would
have nineteen townships, 1897 people, by
census of 1890, East Grand Forks as
county seat. Red Lake county would
have twenty towns, 6,192 population,
with Red Lake Falls as county seat,
Columbia county would have seventeen
towns more population than Nash or Red
Lake, and Mcintosh would be county
seat. Polk would then be left with
twenty.one towns and 6,469 people out
side of Crookston. Now comes proposi.
ton to make Columbia into two counties,
taking twelve towns ont of it and calling
the county Nelson.
