On Wednesday afternoon meeting Of
the board OF trade was held in L. r. Fem
lason's Office for the purpose Of discussing
the proposed division Of Otero county. .
project that has recently been sprung by
the people Of Ordway.
A delegation of business men was pres
ent from OrdwaY and presented their
reasons for desiring the division. which
are set forth in the following petition
which they are circulating:
To the Honorable Members OF the 18th
General Assembly of the State Of Colo
rado. Greeting:
Your petitioners. all citizens OF the
State Of Color ado. and residents. voters
and taxpayers of the County OF Otero do
hereby respectfully ask that by an act Of
the legislature you provide for the divi-
sion Of said Otero county. and for the
creation from the North part thereof. Of
a new county. to be called ---------
County, and that said county remain in
the same Judicial and Congressional Dis
tricts as at present.
We ask that the boundaries Of said
new county be as near as Is practicable
Is follows, to-wit: Beginning At the
northwest corner Of the present Otaro
county: thence south along the west line
Of said county to the southwest corner Of
section z. in township twenty-five (22l
south. Of range SO west; thence east with
the section line Of said and other sections
to the southeast corner Of section IL.
township % south. range 81 west, r. the
east line al said Otero county, and fol-
lowing thence the present boundary lines
Of said county. north and west. to the
place Of beginning. the territory included
in the proposed new county covering an
area Of s5z square miles. has about
| 800 voters and an assessed valuation
Of about s 100000.
The district mentioned all lying north
Of the Arkansas River. has no railway
connections with the south side of the
river. nor with La Junta. the present
county seat. The Missouri Pacific rail-
way runs east and west through the en-
tire length Of the proposed new county
and it has its own irrigation canals. res
ervoirs. towns and school districts. all
naturally distinct and separate from the
south side Of the river. from which It is
also separated by a line Of high bluffs ly-
ing Immediately north Of the river.
We, therefore. ask this action. as a
right and Just determination. for the res
idents Of the district named in the pro-
posed new county"
On motion a committee of FIVE was ap-
pointed to thoroughly investigate the
proposition and report to a mass meeting
Of the people Of this vicinity that they are.
instructed TO call some time before jan
uary IS.
Following is the committee: H.J. Sprin-

There is no danger of the legis-
lature defeating the New County.
That argument is like the tax ar
gument-there is nothing in it
when you get down to the bottom
of it. The same argument was
used by the opponents of Bam-
berg, and Lee, and Greenwood
and the other new counties that
have been formed in the last &c
years, but the House and Senate
journals will sho'v in each of these
instances where. the legislature
ignored all the protests about
area. population, property, etc.,
because it had nothing to do with
such matters. There is absolute
ly nothing in the area argument
before the legislature. The bill
to create the New County will &C
through like a flash, because the
legislature wouldn't kill it if i,
could, and it couldn't kill it if il
would.

New County Headquarters is a
popular loafng" place these
days. 1t is here that all the news
is discussed all the time and daily
visits to headquarters have be-
come habit with the business
men. When you come to town
and have few minutes to spare,
spend them at the New County
Headquarters where you will find
a cordial welcome. If you have
letters to write or business to
transact go to the New County
Headquarters and you will be sup
piled with stationery and writing
materials. The place is open to
the public and the committee
wants every visitor to feel as much
at home the1e as if he owned it.
You will find somebody there at
all times to give you any informa-
ton you want on the progress of
the New County movement. The
place has become so popular that
the suggestion has been made to
keep it open permanently as sort
of club or meeting house after the
New County is formed.

While Dillon comedies to every
town in the New County territory
the right to bid for the county seat,
she will make a strong, frank and
open fight for herself as the county
seat, but at the same time she is
not letting the matter of the loca-
,tion of the court house and jail
,SSershadow the main issue-the
New County-and we believe
every loyal New Countyite in the
territory will take the same liber-
al view of the situation. We
are in the fight to win, regardless
of any other issue, and where
there is such unity of purpose
failure is impossible.

IlTTLE ROCKS PLUCK.

/Lll LIE ROSkS fLUCk.
Whether we agree with them or
not, The Herald. in common with
the people of Dillon, must admire
the grit of the Little Rock people
in their offer of SIS. 900 for a court
house and Jail, provided the county
seat is located at their progressive
little town. 1t not only shows that
Little Rock is fully alive to the
commercial advantages of having
a court house right at its doors,
but also shows spirit of progress
siveness that is bound to excite the
admiration of the outside world.
Of course, Dillonites will vote
and work for the county seat to be
located at Dillon, but they cheer
fully concede to Little Rock the
right to do the same, and if she
wins The Herald and other loyal
New Countyites will tip their hats
to her and offer their heartiest con-
gratulations.
Simply because Dillon is named
as the county seat in the petition
filed with the governor does not
necessarily mean that the county
seat will have to be located at Dill
lon. Every section, town and ham
let in the territory of the proposed
New County has right, under the
statutes, to make a bid for tine
county seat and the Central Exec
utive Committee is ready to receive
offers from any other community
that desires to become the capital
of the New County. AS stated in
a foregoing paragraph, Dillon will
make a strong fight for the county
seat, but the public can rest as
sured that it will be conducted in
the best of spirit and after the
campaign, whether she wins or
loses, no one can say that she did
not give other sections a fair show
ing in the contest.
The main issue with the Dillon
people is the New County. They
have made stubborn fight, ex-
tending over a period of IS years,
to divide Marion county, because
they believe the upper section of
the county will develop more rapid
ly with an independent govern
ment of its own. They have gone
down into their pockets and cheer
fully spent thousands of dollars
carrying on campaign, but they
are not selfish enough to let the
matter of the location of the court
house and Jail over-shadow the
main issue, now that their dreams
of nearly a score of years are about
to be realized.
Little Rock has done only what
she has a right to do, and even if
she does not win out in the cam
paign she has helped herself won
derfully, because people who are
so quick to take advantage of an
opportunity to build up their town
and are willing to back up their
promises with the cold cash are
bound to prosper and if Little Rock
does not attain her full measure of
prosperity it will not be the fault
of her citizens.
Here's to the success of the New
County first, last and all the time,
and congratulations are offered in
advance to the town that wins the
county seat.
