THE COUNTY SEAT ELECTION
Matter Of County Seat Removal to be
Submitted at the Next Election.

A meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Grangeville
Board of Trade was held at the
Bank of Camas Prairie on Mon
day evening at which time the
matter of agitating for the remov-
al of the county seat to Grange
vile at the election in November
next was canvassed, and it was
decided that the matter should be
submitted to the voters of the
county next year. The action OF
the committee was based upon adj
vices received by parties here that
the Northern Pacific railroad com
pany intend building their line to
Grangeviile next year, thus insur-
ing the permanency OF the town
beyond doubt.
The action Of the o. X. & N,
in continuing the purchase Of
right-of-way up the Clearwater tC
Grangeville, where they own Ii
acres of land within the town linn
its, which was donated by the
citizens of the town for depot pur.
poses, il another guarantee that
Grangeville Is to he the railroad
center of this county for n long
time to come. The matter was
taken up two years ago, but was
abandoned at that time because ol
the starting up of tine railroa d
boom, and the people of Grange
vile who con tribute one third of
the county revenue. were unwilling
to have the courthouse removed
until the permanency OF the new
location was assured beyond doubt.
BY the time election day rolls
around in November next, the
situation in these particulars will
be SO clear, and the future OF
Grangeville will be SO we'll assured
that the voters of the county will
see the ACCESSIBILITY Of locating
their county capital in the com
mercial center OF the county, where
it will accommodate the greatest
good of the greatest number.
The requirements of the laws
on the subject are such that there
is no possibility Of taking snap
judgement on the voters, and the
formalities were discussed at
Monday nights meeting and steps
taken 10 proceed at once with the
necessary publication of intention
to circulate petitions, ETC.; and the
campaign in this particular has
been fairly inaugurated. There is
no occasion for ill-feeling or vitu-
peration in this matter. 1t rests
entirely in the hands Of the voters.
The advantages of county seat
to a town are not so great as they
are cracked up to be. The con-
venience to the community is the
point to be considered, and 80 far
as Grangeville is concerned, it has
grown upto it's present prominence
without its advantages; and
whether it is removed here or not
we shall still be doing business at
the old stand. court house or no
court house. The voters of the
county have eleven months in
which to consider and discuss the
PROPOSE ton.
