Talks Of County Seat.

The matter of the location Of a
county seat has scarcely been sus-
gested, but We all want II located
at the most convenient point-at a
point convenient TO the largest num-
Der OF settlers. This point, I think,
would be In the neighborhood of
Park valley. which is receiving a
great many new settlers every day.
But Park valley Is not the only
section that Is growing, Farther
west and southerly is the Grouse
Creek country. That section is al
ready pretty well settled and more
people arc coming in every week
The Curlew valley. up towards the
northern boundary. is settling up
also.
The question OF roads Is the nost
important TO the people OF the west
ern country. The roads we have now
are not only inadequate in number,
but also they are In poor condition,
II Is almost impossible TO operate a
car on most OF them because OF. bIcb
centers and ruts. The countI- COM
missloners are so far away-at Brig
ham City--that IL is almost out Of the
question for them to give the mat
ter Of roads In the western section
proper attention. That IL ono yea-
son why the people in the western
part OF the county want a county seat
OF their own and a county govern

improvements Needed.

II Is said by those who are called upon
to use western Box Elder roads that
high centers" render the use Of the au-
tomobile exceedingly difficult. and for
long stretches almost impossible. Grades
and bridges are sorely needed, it is
said.
Those who are behind the project to
divide the big county report that the
scheme IS meeting with almost upani-
nous Endorsement In Brigham CITY and
the thickly- populated section there
abouts One reason for this feeling on
the part of the Brigham City people, and
one which is perhaps the principal rea-
son for the lack Of opposition which
usually is attendant upon a county divi-
sion project, is that numerous Brigham
City men are heavily interested In lands
in the western part Of the county, and
they therefore are keenly interested in
the establishment Of IL convenient seat
OF administration.

the old and new county likely would fol-
