MEETING AT BAKER
County Division Boosters INSET Aud Talk Over
Matters Concerning This Timely
Question.

A good delegation went from
here to Baker last Friday and at
tended the county division meet
ing. The meeting was composed
of representatives from the var
lous localities of the eastern part
Of Custer County and those pre-
sent were very deslrous of county
division and entered into the
business before the meeting with
thoughtful enthusiasm.
A permanent organization was
established with the purpose in
view of further considering the
advisability of county division
and to look into other matters
pertaining to the question. John
Oliver was elected permanent
chairman and one Of our Mildred
friends secretary. Nothing de-
finate in the way of fixing county
lines was accomplished and this
matter was laid over until the
next meeting. A meeting was
called for April 18th to be held
in Ekalaka and it is hoped that
representatives from every vot-
ing precinct in the eastern half
Of the county will be present, at
which meeting various questions
which will arise in connection
with county division viii be thor
oughly discussed.
At this meeting the Secretary
and President were ordered to
send notices to every precinct
in the the eastern part Of the
county asking them to send dele
gates to Ekalaka on the 18th, |
such delegates to be chosen, one
foI every twenty votes or frac-
ton thereof cast in that precinct
at the last general election.
Let everyone who is interested !
come to this meeting and make
it one Well represented.

CAN REGISTER SOON
New Law Is Now In Effect But The Book.
Will Not Be Ready Until About
July First.

According to the provisions of
the new registration law, which
was senate bill No. 68, the county
clerks of all counties of the state
are ex-ofticio registrars, who shall
perform all these duties without
extra compensation.
The law is now in force, but
the books will not be available
until shortly before July l, when
they will be opened for the
work.
There is one great register,
IN which all names of voters Of
the county are inscribed by pre-
clncts, and in addition there will
be a seperate book for each pre-.
clnct or ward.
Voters who i've within 4
radius of 10 miles of the court
house must appear in person at
the office of the county clerk and
register, those that reside at q
greater distance may 90 before
a justice of the peace or notary
public, furnish the required in
formation and make an affidavit
which will be forwarded by sucl,
officer to the county clerk. The
official performing such work is,
entitled to a fee Of Is cents
which is paid BY the county.
One good feature of the new
law is that after a voter har
once registered he is not REQUIRED!
to do 80 at any other time, pro-
vided he remains a qualified elec=
tor Of his particular locality.
In case registered voter fails;
to vote at a general election it is
the duty of the county clerk 70
remove his name from the regis
ter and when this is done ancth-
or registration is necessary in
order to entitle him to cast a
ballot.

teer fire department consisting
of nearly forty members has
just completed a new two story
fire hall. The Stock-growers &
Business Mems Club composed of
nearly every business man in
town acts not only as a social
organization but as a unit in all
things for the betterment of the
town and country. The band
will soon be out again.
Heretofore the agricultural ad-
vantages of the surrounding
country have been overshadowed
by the range industry but of late
it has been demonstrated that
beneath the grasses that have
for years fattened the live stock,
lies a soil which only needs the
touch Of the plow and harrow to
bring forth the most bountiful
crops of grain and vegetables to
repay the farmer for his toll
During the past two years many
new settlers and western home
seekers havec ONE and taken ad-
vantages of the opportunities
offered. They have been con-
vinced that the country offers
the prospective settler greater
natural inducements than. are
enjoyed by many of the we'll
settled communities in the East.
The people who were here and
those that have come are hospit-
able and generous and welcome
to this territory everyone who
desires to improve his condition
by industry and application.
1t you want to know more
about the town write to the Sec
tary of the Commercial Club and |
ne will be glad to answer all
questions pertaining to Ekalaka
or the surrounding country.
