NORTH PARK COUNTY
MAY BE SET OFF

The house and senate committees on
counties and county lines had under
consideration last night the proposed
new counties of LaVeta.and North Park,
the former to be made out of portion
of Huerfano and the latter ont of q por-
ton of Larimer. Citizens from both
appeared for and against the division
qlan. The committee probably will
report favorable.
F. j. Annis spoke to the committee
about the distance the residents of the
Weatern part Of Larimer county were
obliged 10 go to Fort Collins to transact
county business He said it was more
than ninety miles the shortest way, and
then they were obliged to go to Chey-
eune, over to Greeley and into Fort
Collins. He presented the committee a
petition with more than eight-ninths of
the population of that part of Larimer
county who are in favor of making
Walden the county seat of new county.

a population Of about 800. and is the

The region is rich in undeveloped min

gold. Great banks of semi-anthracite
may be mined from the surface. but
they have not been touched because of
lack of railroad facilities.

VOLUME 3,
WHAT VIM. MARI SAYS

The project for the formation of the
new county to be called North Park. out
of the western part of Larimer county,
is not going to have clear sailing if
William MARI of Hebron can help it.
He is in Denver for the purpose Of op
posing vigorously the bill which has
been filed with the state legislature look
ing to the proposed division.
Mr.. Mari, agent for the Big Horn
Land & Cattle Company. said yeterday;
y cat the last election we cast but $50
votes in the North Park, and the total
population is not 1900. Our taxable
property is about s75O,OOO We pay %
milltax to Larmer county. and mills
to the state. Our sole revenues for run,
ming new county would be about Sl5.-
600. Who ever heard of "a county gov
ernment being conducted for that price!
We were formerly part of Grand
county, and were very we'll satisfied,
but in 1885 or 1886 after a big contest in
the courts we we're given to Larimer
county, the official part of which now
appears to be lined up with the promo
tiers of the new County. Larimer coun-
ty last year spent $1,000 for roads and
bridges in the North Park.
The transferring of the county records
from Fort Collins to Walden. the pro-
posed county seat of the new county,
would entail an enormous expense, II
done properly. The promoters of North
Park county assert that the last transfer
is all that would have to be copied, but
YOU can rest assured that the first piece
of property bought in North Park would
prove bone of contention that would
disrupt this theory completely. No
man is going to buy property wlthouta
complete record of the land. This would
cost many thousands of dollars, and all
the expense would have to be borne by
the new county.
We have no building fit for court
house, and do not even possess fire
proof safe. A few Walden people want
tAcounty seat. because it would ell
nance the value of their property some
what, and would bring little more
trade to their town. They started their
petition while was attending the stock
show in Denver, and got nearly every
one to sign it
They claim that it takes long time to
get to the county seat. 1t requires about
"a hours, but that works no particular
hardship because there is very little
court business in the Park. Mr. Bald
win took the census of the Park in 1900
and found less than 1000 people The
Moffat road at Kremmling, now forms
the closest transportation facilities.
North Park is 5000 feet or more in al
titude, every acre of it. and cattle rails
ing is the sole industry. There is moth
ing to justify the belief that the popula-
ton will increase materially in the near
future, and the valuation of property
has not increased but very little in the
last six years" Denver Republican.

Fort Collins, Colo, Feb. 19.-News
of the favorable report of the joint com
mittee of the house and senate on the
bill providing for the division of Lari-
mer county and creating the new coun-
ty of North Park is received here with
complaisance. There is no opposition at
the county seat, as division has long
been accepted as inevitable.
North Park is known as shut-in land.
The district is surrounded by mountain
ranges, the continental divide forming
the southern and western boundry, with
the Medicine Bow mountains on the
east and north. Only during four
mouths in the year is it possible to pass
out of the Moth Park region into other
sections of the country without long
detour into Wyoming. One of the
comfy commissioners is chosen from
North Park, and during the winter
months he is obliged to travel 212 miles
by stage and rail to reach the county
