COUNTY SEAT WAR
GROWS WARM
Possibilities of Dividing
Grant County is the
Latest Feature.

A new sentiment is forming in ia
vor of dividing Grant county. The
line of division would be at the nor
thern extremity of Moses Lake eX-
tending east and west.
Property owners on Moses Lake
are of the opinion that the next two
years will witness a large immigra-
ton into that section. They expect
to see the time come when a larger
number of people will inhabit the
Moses Lake section than in any 9TH
er part of the county. When that
for another division of the county,
and its county seat will naturally be
placed on Parker bottom where
there are 10000 acres of first class
fruit land, all of which can Abe irri-
gated with a lift of not to exceed
so feet.
Grant county is "A miles long
as thickly populated as can be look
ed for from present indications, a
county seat on the main line of the
Great Northern will be very incon-
venient. This fact and the desire of
the property holders in the southern
portion of Grant county to ultimate
ly effect this division. has caused
them to unite in opposition to remov-
ing the present county seat from
Ephrata to Adrian. There is reason
to believe that such an action at this
time would endanger the division Of
the county.

in fractional War at
Moses Lake.

Last Monday Senator Pettigrew,
OF South Dakota, served injunction
papers on G. S. Garfield, the engi-
neer in charge of the rival forces at
the foot of Moses Lake This injunc-
tion was to restrain Hollister and his
associates from any further interior
ence with the Pettigrew operations
in damming up the lake. Oct. 25th
has been set for a hearing to take
place before Judge Steiner, at which
time the Hollister people must show
cause why the injunction should not
put them under permanent restraint
lowed Out by ScOw.
Garfield with his men and teams
were hemmed in by a wire fence.
They were unable to escape without
mutilating the fence and thereby
laying themselves liable to the
charge of criminal trespass. In or
der to escape this dilemma, w. D
Johnson furnished his scow which
was brought up to the shore, the
men, teams, tools, and implements
were loaded on the scow and towed
away
Condemnation Proceedings Started.
While Senator Pettigrew has been
busy, his former partner, the multi
millionaire has not been idle. He
has ordered condemnation proceed
ings which were started last Satur-
day. This action is to restrain the
Northern Pacific railroad AMI Sena-
tor Pettigrew from any further in
reference with the development of
the irrigation plan to take the wa
ter from Moses Lake to a project of
10000 acres located SO miles south.
This hearing will take place some
time next month.
