WOULD DIVIDE WARD
IN A new WAY.

Senator Steele has introduced
a second bill in the Senate, this
time providing for dividing
the county into three coun-
ties, taxing part from Bot
tineau county. They bill will
probably not pass, and if ii
Idoes, will be beaten as the
people OF Ward county are MOI
ready forcounty division. Steele
| is allowed to introduce bills, as
! he must be kept busy at some
thing, and all realize that he will
not do any harm. The names OF
the proposed new counties are
Ward, Renville and DesLacs.
Bottineau would fight such a
division for all sheis worth. We
do not consider the bill Of enough
Importance at this time to give
the boundaries Of the proposed
new counties.
