County division, llko Banqug's ghost,
simply will not down. Scarcely had the
Washington county measure been peace
fully buried when Luna county Gomez 70

After the opponents Of division sue.
ceodcd In having the house adopt tho two.
third rule as applicable TO county dlw-
sion measures, Il dld appear as though
all hope had vanished, II was certainly
a great pleasure when the news flashed
from Santa Fe Tuesday that Representa-.
tive Mahoney had introduced and pass
ed bill providing for the division Of
Grant county by the highly compliment
ary vote Of 30 10 4.
or courst, the battle is only half won
and past experience has demonstrated the
fact Of nothing being certain In such
matters until the governors signature
has been attached, but II Is sincerely 20
DO hoped that the wishes Of the maj ,rI.
" viii be respected Ia this Instance, and
Luna county, as the new county Ia call.
ed, be created.
When the Washington county measure
waa before the legislature for conaidera.
tlon the HEADLIGHT presented indlsput-
able facts why division OF Grant coun.
" would be beneficial 70 all OF Its peo-
pie. Nothing Is to be gained by a ropl-
tltlon OF those arguments Ia the Luna
county bill, however, are made radical
concessions enurlng 70 the benefit OF
Grant county. The leading arguments
used against the Washington county bill
that especially referred 10 by Judge
Fall In hls speech against tho blIl--was
that Il did not provide for an equitable
division OF the railroad property. While
the advocates OF county division will
never concede that claim, In tho new
measure that element has bsen entirely
removed by leaving within the proposed
lImi,s OF the old county forty more miles
of railroad than thst included by the
terms Of the Washington county measure,
aud adding over 100000 more of taxable
property. This ID certainly giving the
people OF Grant county more than they
have asked for. The new bill also pro-
yldes for other concessions, hy which II
would seem that every element Of oppo.
aitIon ought TO be removed.
The Luna county bill will likely come
up for dual action before the end Of the
present week, aud Ia advocates are hope
ful Of iis passage. They have endcavor-
ed TO make every concession and the
IIEADLIonT believes that a majority Of
tho members OF tho council will this time

claims and vote TO give US the new coun.
