Boosting For County Division.

Information regarding Chouteau

OF interest to members of the twelfth
assembly who are considering the
proposed division of the county, is
contained in q neat folder bearing the
title: "Reasons for the Creation Of

folder coincide with its title, but in.
cidentally give q boost for the other
proposed subdivisions Of the county.
A map of Chouteau county, showing
the proposed lines of division, is the
principal feature of the folder, the
map showing that Chouteau county 10
1853 miles In length from east to west,
and has 90 average width Of about
953 miles. In the center of each of the
proposed sub .divisions is q brief state

Chouteau county should be divided,
the exhibit being in part as follows:
1t is the largest county in the world,
excep. one. 1t contains 6,049 square
miles, excluding the Fort Belknap

1t is as large as the states Of New
