Mussellshel County Bill on the Rack
and the "Would. be" Office
Holders are Sick

uVlueCS are OlCk
Gloom hovers over the Roundup
boosters. A temporary disappear
ance of the bill creating the county
of Musselshell has thrown the
boosters for the coal camp into utter
confusion, which, unless checked
in few days, will result in COM
plete stampede. 1t appears that
new barriers have arisen to over
come, and added difficulties to sur
mount, and that the path of the
Roundup Divisionites will be
strewn with the remains of blasted
hopes ere the Twelfth Legislative
Assembly adjournes,
It appears that the Burlington
Railroad is taking hand in the
making of new counties, and espec-
tally Musselshell, from the fact
that the above Company contrib
utes largely to the support and
maintenance of the New County.
Objections from this source came
like thunderbolt from a clear sky
and the erst-while jubilant office
seekers from the lower Musselshell
were caught completely off their
guard.
Aside from the opposition from
the Burlington, Yellowstone
County will take fall out of the
Musselshell territory while the bill
is before the House Committee on
New Counties, as they have in
cluded several townships within
their boundaries that are very
much desired by the Yellowstone
ties.
Should all opposition from the
sources above mentioned, be over
come, they will still have the fight
of their liyes on their western
boundary line, as IL miles on the
west is included both in the Mus
selshell and the Marino County
Division Bills. We do not believe
any Legislature will be so incon-
siderate of the demands of Justice,
that Musselshell would be allowed
to extend their line west from
Roundup 40 miles and within 20
miles of Harlowton, the temporary
County Seat of the proposed County
of Merino. We believe the mem
bers of the Twelfth Assembly are
fair minded, level headed business
like men, and will not discriminate
against one County at the disad
vantage of another.
The lobbiests from Roundup have
been extremely arrogant in their
claims for County division, even to
the extent of deserving the am
bitions of all other new Counties,
on the ground that Musselshell
had the only tenable claim for rec
ognition.
Many Representatives are thor
oughly out of patience with the
hired boosters from Musselshell, in
their Intimately weak claims for
recognition at the expense of, and
before the consideration of numer-
Gus other portions of the State
that are interested in the creation
of new Counties. We would advise
our friends to back up on their
western boundary lines, back up
Valley Guide Meridian between
Townships 20 and 21. This line
equally divides the territory be-
tween the towns that are deSignat
ed as temporary County Seat of
the new proposed Counties. Heed
this prophecy: IF you don't back
up, you wont get anything.
The meeting held Saturday
night, in the interest of the pro-
proposed Merino county was one
of the largest meetings of the kind
since the bill was introduced.
The hall was filled with enthus-

that the outlook was for more rain. The
