already done much to remove the
blind prejudice against scholars %

come the fashion to look to the great

EAGLE BUTTE's POSITION

The location of the county seat of

the location to the southern border of

ter it has been on the northern border
for little over two years. The first
vote on change after the temporary
location, can be had at the first gener-
al election; and from that time on the
constitution prohibits county seat
ruction oftener than once in four years,
