new COUNTIES
No More Bills for New Counties
Are Liable to Pass at
this Session
A bill to Take the Matter Out Of
the Hands Of the legislature
Has Passed the Senate

Substitute for Senate Bill No. IS is Great
ing considerable interest in Valley County
on account Of the fact that it is liable to
pass before any Of the county division
bills.
In substance the bill provides that upon
the petition of so per cen, Of the voters at
the last general election in any proposed
new county. the county commissioners oil
the county from which the new county Is
to be created shall order a special election
at which only the residence Of the proposed
new county can vote. Al this special cleo
ton the question Of dividing the county,
the election Of officers to hold Office until
the next general election. and the deter
mining OF the comfy seat are voted on.
os per cent Of the votes cast are necessary
to create the new county.
The portion of the old osanty that does
not 20 with the new county is not consult
ed in the matter. but the bill provides
that at least IS. 600. oco in assessed valua-
ton must be left il. as well as 500 square
miles of territory and no line can be drawn
within ten miles Of the old county seat.
Residents Of territory contiguous to the
boundary between the old and new counties
can go with the old county provided
majority Of them sign a petition ior the
same. The new counY must have an as
sessed valuation Of at least 81. 600. 900.
While this bill passed the senate by
good majority. there was considerable op-
position to it. II now goes TO the house as
soon as 1t can be reprinted. on account OF
amendments made to il in the senate, and
all reports say its hnal passae looks very
probable.

BURGLARS CAUGHT
Albert Norby and Morris haugen
Plead Ouilty to Robbing .
Freight Car

A Great Northern freight car
standing on the siding IN Culbert-
son was broken into Saturday
night aud lot OF canned goods,
cheese and other eAtabies were
taken IRON the car. As this was
the third Of a series Of burglaries
that had been pulled off IN Cul.
bertson within the last two weeks,
our local sleuths got busy. Rich
ard Miller, a Great Northern de-
tective also appeared on the scene.
Evidence was gathered by CITY
Marshall John Il. Bewick and
Constable John ] Higgins aud
together with the G., n. detective,
they drove to a shack near the
river occupied by Messrs. Albert
Norby and Morris Haug-n, where
they were engaged IN .hopping
wood. Here they found some OF
the plunder aud arrested the
young men named. They were
arraigned before Frank Z. Miller,
Justice OF the Peace Tuesday al
ternoon and pleaded guilty. They
wer. bound over TO the district
court on a charge OF burglary, as
they had broken the seal OF the
car.
A part OF the plunder was found
cashed in the log house oi young
Norby's father near the Soule ele-
vator.

POPLAR'S POSITION
That Town Seems to. Be Divided
Upon the New County
Proposition

W ttIC
from Lewis L. Brink which APP
peared IN the Culbertson Republi-
can last week, in regard to Pop
lars attitude on the respective
merits OF the Shaw and Lake
County division projects, the
Searchlight will say that when our
article was written we were fully
convinced that the majority OF the
citizens OF Poplar were in favor OF
the Shaw County Bill.
From Mr.. Brink's article, how
ever, we would infer that there are
two factions in Poplar, as there are
in MANY towns. and that they are
divided in their opinions as TO
whether they would prefer to be
left in the old county or TO he set
off in the new county.
From the information received
by the Searchllght previous to Mr.
Drinks communication this paper
understood that a committee from
Culbertson went to Poplar some
three weeks ago to interview the
citizens and taxpayers there and
that this committee interviewed
most OF the prominent business
men and that they were united IN
favoring the Shaw County bill, and
that they sent one of their number
to Helena To work TOR the Shaw
County bill.
The SearchlIght understood that
tins man who went to Helena rep
resented the majority of the tax
payers of Poplar and so stated.
The editor OF this paper will say
that he never knowingly misrepre-
sents any community, tut II IS not
easy always to get the information
from both sides of every question.
That the majority OF the voters
in the proposed new county favors
a county large enough, and having
an assessed valuation oil enough to
support the new comfy, We still
believe, and that belief IL streng-
thened each day as the reports
come in from different parts OF the
new county.
On Monday a farmer. who lives
in the vicinity OF Medicine Lake,
came 10 Culbertson and expressed
himself very freely as being in iav-
ar OF the larger county, and said
that a great many who signed the
petitions presented by Medicine
Lake people last fall did so with
the understanding that the pro.
posed new county was land out on
the lines included in the Shaw
County bill OF two years ago. Now
that they understand that proposed
Lake County bill includes only a
narrow area, they have changed
their minds aud favor the larger
county.
