SPANISH BUYERS
GIT NO TOBACCO

From present indications the deal
that was on with the officials of the
tobacco growers association and the
commissioners Of the Spanish govern
ment for the sale of 5000 hogsheads
of Tugs Is of. owing to a failure to
agree on the price for the tobacco.
IL Is understood that the association
offered to take an average of cents
for the tobacco, while the purchasers
would agree only to pay 5 cents. and
efforts to make a compromise on 5 Y
cents has been unavailing. The COM
missioners spent several days in the
western district. looking through the
large number of types of hogsheads
yet unsold, but made no purchases.
About one-half of the last years
crop OF tobacco is yet in the ware
houses unsold, while at this time last
year every hogshead had been dis
posed of and the types and samples
priced.
The Official graders for the district
are at the Paducah salesroom today
fixing a new price on large number
of types. that were taken from hogs
heads in the warehouses for regrad-
ing.

About County Division.

The only motive back of Pay
cites demand to cut off the Pay
cite valley from Canyon county is
that towns insatiate greed for the
county seat,
The only town in the valley in
which there is any sentiment what
ever for county division is Payette
and the only farming community
in the valley that desires the crea-
ton of two new counties by taking
slices off of Canyon county is few
"quare miles Immediately tributa-
ny to Payette and Nampa.
Monday night mass meeting
of the citizens of New Plymouth
and the farmers in that neig hbor-
hood was held to discuss the coun-
ty division proposition. Emmett
was invited to send representa-
tives and f. <. Hayes, Charlie
Myer, V. 7. Craig, John MeNish
and Henry Cooke were deputized
to attend. Caldwell and Payette
also had representatives. The
meeting was largely attended by
the leading business men and farm
ers Of that prosperous community.
After the county division question
had been thoroughly discussed,
the sentiment of New Plymouth
was expressed by rising vote,
which showed only three for divi-
sion and the balance of the large
crowd present opposed.
The sentiment of New Plymouth

practically unanimous sentiment
againt county division in four
fifths of the territory embraced in
the proposed new county. is to
throw up the sponge and take the
count.
The Payette papers and boomers,
in their arguments for county d.
vision, lay great stress upon the
statement that new county can be
more economically administered
than the present county, and they
produce lot of figures in al at
tempt to prove it, and then pro-
coed on the theory-that figures
can't lie,, In Payette hands they
do lie. There are more ways of
figuring costs than of SHINING
cat, Given one foundation fact;
Payette statististical expert;
piece of paper and a pencil, and
you may prove or disprove what
ever you desire. The great major
ity OF the people of Canyon coun-
ty know that the figures of both
Nampa and Payette do lie. They
know that three counties cannot
be run as cheaply as one county,
and they are against the PROPOSE
ton.
In the fight between Caldwell
and Nampa the temperance ques-
ton promises to be in the forefront.
1t is claimed that one OF the prime
reasons of Nampa seeking to be
tut off from Canyon at this time
IS because of the local option
issue, as certain interests there
ear the results should a local
option law be enacted by the next
legislature.

Payette's county seat ambitions
seem to have gone a-glimmering
The claims of the Payette news
papers and boomers to the effect
that the valley was almost unani-
nous for the new county turned
out to be false, and wnen simmered
down, the only demand for county
division comes from the town of
Payette and the farming commun-
ity Immediately tributary, repre-
seuting less than one fifth of the
total area OF the valley. Even
NewPlymouth, their next door
peighbor, is strongly opposed TO
the unjust aud nefarious scheme of
Payette, and at largely attended
meeting held Monday night voted
almost unanimously against the
division.
