COUNTY DIVISION NOT
LIKELY
Anti -Divisionists Making Tell
ing Fight Before the
Legislature.

Present indications Poim to
victory for those opposed 10 a aivi-
sion of Canyon county. Caldwell
and Emmett, Parma and Roswell,
Middleton and franklin, New
Plymouth and Fa,ks Store, have
combined forces and are making
strong and determined fight in the
Legislature at Boise against the al
! lied Nampa and Payette contin-
gents. The fight is being conduct
ed along legitimate lines, but it is
a telling one. There now seems
to be no question as to the result.
Canyon county will remain intact.
The contest opened in Boise
Saturday. Emmett was represen-
ted by John McNish, D.. NJ. Johns,
Z. K. Hayes, c. A. Myer, Arthur
Richards, John and Ned VanDeu-
sen, and Ed Skinner. Caldwell
sent their scrappiest bunch,
among them being Jess Gowan,
Dan Campbell, Jake Ho and Sam
Ballantyne. J. M. Johnson of
Boise, who has warm spot in his
heart for Emmett also got into the
game. Fred Fis7e was there from
Parma, and Owyhee county was
represented too. Both Nampa and
Payette sent the best men they had
and they were good ones. Among
them was Representative Duvall
of Nampa and Senator Shawhan
and Representative Patch of Pay
cite. Now, what 90 the people Of
Canyon county think of that?
Three men elected to the leeisla-
ture to serve the whole county and
look after its interests all work
ing tooth and toe nail to divide the
best county in the state in the face
of the wishes of not less than three
fourths of its people. If that isn't
political treachery of the blackest
hue we don't know what is. And
they looked the part too. Anyone
could pick them out from among
the crowd of Legislators that filled
the lobby of the Idan-ha. If We
were to make guess, these social
ed servants of the people will have
day es reckoning.
The antis won first blood by
landing Representative Thompson
as chairman of the county lines
and boundaries committee. Be
sides this, much other work was
done in the way of explaining the
as it exists in the county
today and showing the injury that
would be done if the county were
cut up.
But the work is not completed
yet A remonstranee of such proper
tons as will show the legislature
and the committees the sentiment
of the taxpayers OF the county must
be sent in TO back up the claims
made. That is what will
count, and every taxpayer of the
valley, if he has not already done
so, should sign the remonstrance.
Start one in your own neighbor
hood and see that you miss no one.
Petitions may be found in town at
The Index Office, or at John Nc
Nish or the Myer, Lyman, Ra-
der store. Send in names. Every
one is interested. Division means
higher taxes with no additional
benefits.

AGRICULTURAL AGENT SEES

ERS TO WORK COTTON TO KILL
BOIL WEEvlL.

Mr.. w. ID. Bentley, district agricul
tural agent was here yesterday on
his rounds. He said that never before
had he seen in this section such crop
prospects as were now In sight, and
that with continued good weather con
dtions. that this part of the state
would produce the biggest harvest in
its history.
Mr.. Bentley said that the cotton
acreage would be fully forty per cent
less than last year, but that the con.
dition of the crop at present was so
far ahead of what 1t was last season,
that with the decreased acreage, the
crop would be as large If not larger
than last year.
Mr.. Bentley had with him a small
vial in which were some lively In
sects and he promptly explained that
they were the boil weevil. He said
that the farmers would have to hurry,
or there would be some destruction.
Mr. Bentley advised that as the best
means OF keeping them back in their
destructive work. was to work the cot.
ton field as often as once in seven or
eight days, giving the gropund a shall.

the weevil in their work and kille
many OF them. This, he declared was
the surest and best manner OF having
the least damage result as all efforts
to find ian exterminator has so far
failed. -
Mr.. Bentley said he felt much en-.
couraged at the way in which the
farmers were taking up with advanced
methods OF work. and that every time
they did it meant dollars in their
pockets with practically no more ex
penditure of labor than they were hav.
