Many people We're interested Tues
day by the spectacle afforded by Il big
sheet of ice on the west side of the
river which extended from the lower
end of the White coal wharf nearly to
the Kennebec bridge, and which was
lifted by tie tide and swung across
the river. where it hung until some-
time during the night and then went
down river. One gentleman said in
speaking of it yesterday morning that
it reminded: him of the old days in
Augusta when there was a toll bridge
across the river. In those times many
Of the farmers on the east side of the
river would not bring their produce
across the river on account of the toll
they had to pay on the bridge. SO thai
the east side market was often better
stocked than that on The west side Of
the river. On account OF TINS fact 1t
grew to be habit with the people on
the west side of the river, so the gen
tIeman said, as soon as there
should be sufficient ice along the
west shore, to get together or the
bank and push the sheet out so that It
would swing across the river and form
n bridge. A few cold nights would
then settle matters SO that all could
cross and racrOrS to either side without
having tic pay the amount assessed by
the mara cement OF the BRIDGE n

Water street, in front Of the Messer
Perley store, is the scene Of an exca-
walton which is being made with a
view to ascertaining the cause of trou-
bic in the city sewer. 1t was first
thought that the private sewer of the
store mentioned was plugged, but that
was found to be all right, and the city
sewer is now said to be the cause of
the trouble. 1t was not known yester-
day just what was the matter. but it
is supposed that the city sewer is
plugged somewhere in that section. In
digging the men found the frost line
to be IS inches down.

of cottages ut the lake will have their

that the amount to be cut at the lake

Since the announcement was made
relative to the assignment of parlor car
seats to Augusta the management of
the Maine Central has found it neces-
Sary to make a change in the number
of trains on which the seats may be
secured at the Augusta ticket office.
Two seats will be assigned to Augusta
on train ca. but it will be impossible TO
assign seats on train 102. owing to the
fact that there is but one car operated
on this train from St John to Boston,
and il will be necessary to secure seats
at Bangor for this train as heretofore.
1t is hoped by the management that
when two parlor cars are operated on
tins train next summer that something
may be done for the Augusta ticket
ocffic. 1t will not be possible also, to
secure seats on train Is at the Augusta
ticket Office.

County Division.

The attempt now being made by
some of the citizens of Nampa to d.
vide Canyon county and annex por-
ton of Owyhee' county is not meeting
with the endorsement the Nampa pro-
moters expected. In the first place
they expected the help of Payette and
have given it out cold that the citizens
of Owyhee would take the cork under,
but they have reckoned without their
host. The substantial men of Pay
cite are not in favor of the scheme at
this time. the Owyhee people are
strongly opposed to having a portion
of their territory taken away from
them as it will be but few years at
the farthest when they will ask the
legislature to divide their county on
lines which will be satisfactory to all
concerned. without attaching a por-
ton of Owyhee county to the proposed
county of Nampa. 1t is not necessary
| to introduce any argument at this time
against the proposed scheme for it Is
but a scheme, not for the development
of the county, but only for the finan-
cial benefit of few townsite boomers
| It is generally conceded that the time
will come in the near future when the
county will be divided on such lines
that all concerned will be satisfied.

give the Golden Gate people every
encouragement, morally and finan-
cially. The edition will be the great
est advertisement this section of the
county ever put out. The resource.

The Division of the County.

Whenever town boosters and BOOM
ers can think of nothing else to do
they start a county division fight
which of course contemplates coun-
ty seat for the particular town In
which they live. This shows a COM
mendable spirit of enterprise and
progress At present some ambitious
Nampa people have started a very
spectacular county division fight. The
Nampa people propose to take part
of Canyon, a part of Ada and part
and part of Owyhee counties and
make the county of Nampa. They also
propose to take a part Of Boise, Can
yon and Washington and make there
form a county for Payette. Payette
has always had county seat ambitions
and seems to have taken kindly to
the idea, although she has not enthus-
| ed a great deal as yet. Nampa has
OF course gone to work in earnest and
with enthusiasm Emmett, Caldwell,
| Parma and the sections surrounding
them are opposed to the proposition.
Caldwell lrealizes that at some time in
the future Canyon county may be d.
vided, but does not think the time ripe.
We are perfectly willing when Canyon
county gets developed, when 1t be-
comes thickly populated, that both
Nampa and Payetts may acquire coun-
ties. At present taxes are already
high and oppressive. The creation OF
two new counties will increase the
expense to the taxpayers three fold
ENew court houses and jails will have
10 be built two new sets of county
officers will have to be paid; and by
the sAme people who now supper,
one 1t might be a good thing for the
different towns to each be a county
seat, but We think the taxpeyer will
resent it. At present the Canyon
county seat is accessible to all thu
people OF the county. We have cas-.
communication with all parts. A per

In the county by rail or he can driv'

that the venture was undertaken 4;

IL IL all q Dream.

"A scheme has been inaugurated by
some OF the politicians of our neigh
boring county of Canyon, to divide
1t, taking a slice OF Of Owyhee, and
making Nampa the county seat The
plan was formed secretly several
weeks ago and has just leaked out
Weiser American.
The American has only revealed
half of the scheme. 1t is said that
the plans embrace a proposition &c
segregats all that portion of the
county north Of township to the
Washington county line, with Payette
as the county seat. II remains to be
seen whether the legislature can be
induced TO commit such an atrocious
deed upon one OF the best counties in
the state just to- satisfy a few town
site boomers, whose sole object is tc
sell a few town lots at an advance
leaving the farmer and stockman tC
pay the extra taxes which will follow
the division of the county.

that Senator Hepburn would have
