ABOUT COUNTY DIVISION.

II is quite probable that Repre-
sentative Johnston will introduce I
bill within the next day or two d.
yiding Bingham county on the line
proposed three miles north of the
base line, with drop of nine miles
between townships 50 and 40. The
people OF Idaho Falle have favored
the base line for a division but the
figures show that on the proposed
line three miles north will still give
the new county one-half of the val
uation.
There are some advantages In
small counties: the court expenses
are not as great for mileage. and
other expenses. Experience has
shown that the small counties Of this
state arc the best fixed financially !;
they are usually out of debt, while
the large counties are paying inter
est on bonds. The great cry
abou, two sets of county officers In
stead Of one has no weight whatever.
Where two counties contain about
the same population as one, the sal
aries Of the two county officers are
not much greater than for one fur
tbermore the auditors Office more
than pays for It's own expenses; the |
sheriffs Office nearly so the probate
Judge does the same.--Register.
