ORGANIZING NEW COUNTIES.
Unexpected Sentiment Developed at
Committee Meeting.

An odd state of affairs has developed in the
mouse committee on towns and counties which
met last night in the senate to consider the
file which provides for the organization Of
unorganized counties and the selection of
county seats.
Henry Feig is chairman of the committee
and there were present at the session a
number Of persons interested in the prompt
settlement Of the existing trouble by means
Of organization, while not a few gentlemen
having lumber and other interests in the
unOrgan1zed sections bore evidence that they
stood a major portion Of the present tax
burden and that to organize would only
serve to increase this, and that anyway
there neither the population nor the de-
sire to warrant such steps.
1t will be recalled that when the bill was
originally presented it provided for the ap-
pointment by the governor Of county COM
miss3oners who should name the county Off
measure got to the present committee it was
go all the way down the line and name the
commissioners and seat. The circumstances
surrounding the fight made by Mr.. Feig on,
the floor Of the house to have the bill re-
committed to the committee so as to allow
certain interests to be heard are too recent
to be forgotten. Now it transpires that the
sentiment Is in favor of allowing the settlers
themselves, who, it is alleged, have been held
down by the corporate interests, to name their
own commissioners, officers and county seat.
While there are those among the actual set
tiers. well on the committee, who do
not go as far this, 1t is probable that
when the bill gets back to the house it VIII
be amended SO as to make such provision.

THEIR AMMUNITION SNOW.
Emerson and Central High School

school would have to give way before the
terrible onslaught Of their opponents, but the
leader was a general indeed.
On Emerson! All banners wave,
And charge with all your chivalry!
Above the din Of battle these words rang
out and carried with them cheer to the
hearts of the valiant Emerson boys. The
hard packed missiles pierced the air with all
the force of strong young arms. The Central
