one passcr, more curious than the

Several hundred thousand of these

long tables were provided where

v ant New County

The following clipped from the
Chronicle of Cottonwood shows the
feeling of the people over in that sec
tion regarding the high taxes that is
growing more and more of a burden
in this county every year:
There seems to be well founded
rumor ahoat that new county will
organized next winter with Cotton
wood as the county seat and Lewiston
is in on the deal. We would not be
surprised to see such thing happen
and this country would be new
county.-llo Register.
The above is news to us but such
things are possible and stranger things
have come to pass. Cottonwood would
make an ideal county seat for a new
county composed of the west half of
Camas and Nezperce prairies, with
some Salmon river country thrown in
for good measure, and such county
would have. ono of the richest sections
of the state within its borders. Camas
Prairie people are becoming tired of
having to pay taxes for the support of
this entire county and the formation
OF a new county is about the only way
to get rid of the burden. Let it come.
Cottonwood will be ready and willing
to properly receive the new county
seat
