Koochiching People Contend
That Their Petition Has
Right Of Way.
GOVERNOR HAS WHOLE SAY
UNDER NEW CODE.
C. W. Stanton. Of Koochiching
Petition Will Attempt to Pick
Flaws in Others.

st. Paul, March 15. With Gov
ernor johnson alone rests the
decision as to which petition for
the division of Itasca county
shall be submitted to the resi-.
dents of that county at the next
general election. It has been.
discovered that the new code
does away with the commission
composed of the governor, state
auditor and secretary of state,
which under the old law was to
decide which petitions should be
voted upon and when and where.
The new law simply states that
the secretary of state shall file
the petition and notify the gov
ernor, who shall in due time
cause a proclamation to be issued
notifying the people of the county
concerned of the petition.
G. W. Stanton, Of international
Falls, who arrived at the capital
this morning, went straight to
the attorney generals depart
ment and spent most of the day
preparing his case, which will be
submitted to Governor Johnson
tomorrow morning. Governor
Johnson may call in the state
auditor and secretary of state in
an advisory way but under the
new code he does not have to and
the decision rests with him alone.
Mr.. Stanton represents the
signers of the first petition, which
asks that Itasca county. be divided
into two counties, one to be
known as Koochiching with the
county seat at International
Falls: Three other petitions have
been filed calling for other
divisions. Under the new code

PAY is CUT DOWN
New Code Allows County
Dads Only 500 Per Year
For Their Services.

Under the new code for Mime
sofa, county commissioners
throughout the state will here
after be allowed only 800 per
year for services rendered. They
are still allowed the mileage Of 10
cents per mile for travelling to
and from the county seat. Here
tofore county com missioners
have been allowed $S per day be-
sides mileage. Ut is claimed
that over 100 commissioners
throughout the state have re
signed since the new code went
into effect.

but one petition can he sub
mitted to the people and the
governor must be the Judge of it.
Stanton will contend that his
petition was the only one APP
proved up to March /, when the
code went into effect and that the
others have not yet been ap-
proved. It will be contended
that the petition known as the
Deer River division is defective
because it calls for the formation
of three new counties in one
petition. The Northome petition
will be attacked on the ground
that it has not the requisite num-
Der of signers, which is 643. In
checking up the signers, Mr..
Stanton stated that he discovered
Implications and that several who
signed his petition signed the
Northome one also. The Forest
county division will be attacked
on the grounds that the petition
fails to properly name the
boundaries.
1t is likely that the new code
will govern the action in respect
to the several petitions. Each
petition will be presented by a
special representative from
Itasca county and it is expected
all day will be taken up with the
different arguments.
Mr.. Stanton states that if the
proposition is once submitted to
the voters of his county the
division will go through.
At present those living in
international Falls have to travel
700 miles to reach the county
seat at Grand Rapids. They have
to travel through two provinces
of Canada Ontario and Manitoba)
to get there and mileage is so
expensive that all but the most
important litigation is precluded.
Mr.. Stanton states that the
division he stands for will give
Itasca county a population of
5000 with valuation of $8,OO0,-
600 and Koockiching county a
podulation of 1000 with a valaa-
ton Of 100000. international
Falls, he states, is the center Of
the 1000 population and for
obvious reasons will always con-
tinue to be the center of popula-
ton of the new division.

One still january night a number OF
people in a tiny Swiss hamlet of the

the avalanche broke loose with plung-
