CUT HER OFF.

When Blaine and Lincoln coun-
ty were created there was a com
promise made by which Blaine
county was allowed about thirty
miles of territory lying directly
east Of Lincoln county. This was
done to give Blaine county the BEN
eft OF thirty miles of railroad for
taxation. At that time Blaine and
Lincoln county were apparently
friendly. Since then the two coun-
ties have been involved in endless
litigation-in every instance forced
upon us by Blaine county. The
people living in the east end of
Blaine county-this thirty mile
strip---are complaining very bitter
ly of the Inconvenience and hard
ship OF which they are subjected
and they are universally demand
ing to be attached to Lincoln coun-
ty. AS it now stands they must
travel about one hundred and TWEEN
" five miles to reach HALEY, the
county seat of Blaine county. To
reach Haley they must come
through Shoshone and a journey
from Minadoka to HALEY and re-
turn requires about three days
time.
1t is also known to everybody
that taxes in Blaine county are
about S7.49 per hundred while in
Lincoln they are $3.50 per hun
dred. In answer to the committee
from the thirty mile strip, who Wis
tied our people this week, they |
were informed that nothing could |
be done until the next general
election. AT that time our people
will cooperate when for the pur-
pose OF attaching them to Lincoln
county.

THE COUNTY SEAT AGAIN

The Salt Lake Tribune of the
Dist says:
"Hagerman wants the county
seat of Lincoln County, now located
at Shoshone."
About once a year the county
seat question looms up in this
county. Two years ago Toponis
wanted it; last year Minadoka
wanted it; this year Hagerman
wants it; next year Bliss wants it;
but all the time Shoshone has it
and intends to keep it.
The county seat matter bothers
nobody except those who want it.
We do not blame those outlying
villages and sparsely settled COM
munities for wanting a county seat.
A boy in dresses is always impa-
tient to wear pants.
We exposed the folly of all this
kind OF talk two years ago. TO
change county seat the law re-
quires first; That a petition shall
be presented to the board of COM
missioners TO order an election and
that petition must be signed by a
majority of the qualified electors"
OF the county, and then the law
further requires a two-thirds vote
of all The qualified electors" of the
county to make the change.
There is not a county seat idiot
in the county, who for one moment !
believes that majority OF the
qualified electors would sign such a
petition, much less that a two
thirds vote could be procured for
any OF these isolated villages or
country communities.

For two days a bridegroom -elect has
been missing and no trace of him has been
seen In this CITY, although it is believed he
is still with his ship IN San Francisco.
Everything was ready for the ceremony
last Tuesday evening, minister was
present, guests were on hand, house was
decorated and the bride was waiting for
the groom. She is waiting yet.
Two weeks. ago invitations were sent
out for the wedding of Miss E. II. Cum
mings and &. B. Adair at the beautiful
home of Colonel and Mrs. Adams on New.
ton avenue, East Oakland, on Thursday
evening, August %.
The family of the bride Is well known,
and they are prominent members of the
Eighth-avenue Methodist Church, and it
was to be fashionable event. Miss Cum
mings is handsome young lady, and at
tired in her beautiful dress made a very
pretty bride.
G. B. Adair is the second officer of the
ship Lar giemore, and has been acquainted
with Miss Cummings for several years,
although during that time he has been
mostly at sea and has seen little of his
sweetheart. TIE engagement was an

many weeks, and has been the social topic

Last Monday Mr.. Adair was in Oakland

The ceremony was to be performed by

The bride was supplied with a very

attired by her friends and was in readi-
ness in her boudoir.
