Day or Two.

county TO chanEe hands. AT least 1t is
the time when some of the county's
officials will go out of office and the
men who were elected on the Sth day of
November step in There is a lot of
discussion about the exact date of the
coming-in of the new officials. The
question is as to whether they take
charge of the county government to-
day or whether they wait until to-
morrow. The new officers, however,
are entitled to step into their new shoes
to-day, and in fact some. of them are
already at their desks. The fact
that to-day is legal holiday
under the statute does not inter
fere with the new men taking office.
They can step in and throw the other
fellows out If they want to. If they
do this. however, they won't have much
satisfaction, for they can't do any more
on legal holiday than the others can,
nothing but imperative business being
transacted on legal holiday.
Anyway, whether they go in to-day
or Tomorrow it viii make but lit
tile difference, and the business Of the
county will pass from one set Of com
petent officers to another, and that's
all there is to it.
The following is list of the officers
who will step into office to-day or Tues
day:

same, with the addition of one more
deputy. which position it is generally
believed will be filled by Alex Brown
ofrDeer Lodge.
The board of county commissioners
will be in session tomorrow and ii is
part of its business as announced in
the official call, to fix the number of
deputies of the various Offices and their
compensations. Now that the county
is fourth class county, while formerly
1t was only county of the fifth class,
there may be an increase in the number
of deputies. However, the board of
commissioners will attend to that mat
ter.
The officers who walk out of Office to-
day, and those who remain in Of
flee, have given the county an excellent
administration. One and all, without an
exception, have made honest, energetic
and efficient officials. They may point
with pardonable pride to their work
while in office. They all have hundreds
of friends who will wish them success
in whatever undertaking they may go
into in the future.
