VIII BE ON IRE BALLOT,

The state board on Wednesday
passed upon the county petition
for the creation Of Iron county,
naming Virginia as the temper
airy county seat, and found same
in regular form and conforming
to the statutory requirements,
and an order will be issued to
place the proposition on the bal
lot this fall.
No other petition was before
the board and it is not considers
ed likely that any will be pre-
sented: which would leave the
proposition open for Virginia or
no county.
The Hlbbing Tribune says that
IF every town on both ranges
should act as Virginia and Tow.
er are and say that unless their
town is designated as tie county
seat there will be no new county
there certainly would be none.
