There il more than dry statistics TO
the building of tariff. Under the

MASS MEETING
County Oivisi0nists Of CulbertsOn
Met last Friday Evening

Friday evening, Sept 9Th, and dis
cussed the project OF going ahead

crowd we're gathering and by $500
o'clock the hall was comfortably
filled.
Mayor Mathews was elected per.
manent chairman and II. ID. Ed
monds secretary.
Nearly every prominent citizen
in town was called upon to express
his opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY
OF going ahead with the work at
the present time, and all were
unanimous in the opinion that our
citizens had been burdened by be-
ing a part OF Ponderous Valley
County long enough, and that the
sooner some definite action was
taken under the new law the soon
er present conditions could be
abrogated and new county
created.

ion that the new law had many
stumbling blocks and that 1t
showed the ear marks OF the Anal
gamated, however, he was willing
TO 60 ahead and have the law tried
out.
After considerable discussion
Mr.. Stafford moved that it is the
sense OF this meeting that we 20
ahead and circulate the necessary
petitions for county division. This
was seconded and carried.
1t was moved that the old com.
mittee, consisting oil |. . Slette,
| w. Mathews, c. s. Stafford, II.
ID. Edmonds and w. I. Stephens,
take the matter in hand and pro.
coed with the necessary work to
be done. This motion was carried.
There is about $500 lett over
from the amount raised to promote
the county division bull in the state
Legislature last winter and this will
go far towards paying the expenses
OF circulating the petitions.
The committee will proceed
along the lines OF the majority re
port of the committee at the big
mass meeting held in Culbcrtson
on Aug. 26th, making the south
boundary OF the proposed new
county at the Sixth Standard Par
allel on the South Side and be-
tween ranges As and 40 on the
west. TINS places the western
boundary between Oswego and
Wolf Point.
We understand that the com.
nittee are now gathering data to
find out just who are entitled to
sign the petitions. after which the
active work OF getting them sig ned
will begin.
According to the new law "such
petition shall be signed by al least
one hall OF the qualified electors OF
the proposed new county. whose
names appear on the official regis
trstion books used at the general
election held therein last proceed
ing the presentation Of said petit
