Special Correspondence to The Evenine
Bismarck, N. D., April 22.-The fact
that Governor Burke has issued q
proclamation creating the new coun-
ties OF Adams and Hettinger, in the
southwestern part of the state, has
made considerable business for the ex-
ecutlve and secretary of states Offices.
All the officers for the new counties,
including constables and justices of
the peace have been named for these
counties, and it is expected that the
county commissioners will soon be in
session there to make preparations for
the permanent establishment of the
counties. Mott is the county seat of
Hettnger county and Hettinger is the
county seat of Adams county. The
Milwaukee road already crosses Ad-
ans county, and it is expected that the
Northern Pacific will enter this new
territory some time during the sum-.
mer. 1t will be interesting to readers
OF the Times in the eastern part of the
state to know that among the county
officers for Adams county is Jacob Son
derall, formerly superintendent of
schools OF Walsh county, who has been
appointed county Judge by Governor
Burke. P. D. Norton, chief clerk of the
house of representatives during the re-
cent session and formerly superintend-
ent OF schools Of Ramsey county, has
been appointed states attorney for the
same county. Both Mr. Sonderall and
MIR. Norton have filed on claims in the
new county.

Hettinger county, from which these
two counties have been created, was
defined and it's boundaries fixed in the
legislative session of 1888, and the bill
for the creation of the county was ap-
proved March 9th of that year by Gov
ernor Ordway.
Banks have been organized in both
Mott and Hettinger and parties were at
the secretary of states Office today
making arrangements to organize Sec
ond banking houses in both of these
new towns. Mott already has a news
paper, established some weeks ago by
Editor Small, now of the Mandan Pho
neer. Arthur Brundage, one of the
pioneer newspaper men and printers OF
Bismarck. has been appointed clerk of
court of Adams county, and will take
a newspaper outfit to Hettinger and
establish the first paper in Adams
county. Those who have started en-
terprises in these new counties say
there is a great future there, and when
the sale OF town lots is held it is ex-
pected that the prices will run sky
ward.
