The last issue OF the Dawson
County Review gives the details
OF a new County division scheme
in Dawson County eminating 10
the fertile brains OF the Sidney
business men. 1t has been known
for some time that Sidney has
county seat aspirations and the
new development is to petition
for a division of Dawson County,
the new county to be called "Gate
County," and embracing the north
eastern portion OF Dawson County.
This OF course, is only an obstruc-
ton scheme to head of the pro-
posed gateway County" of East
ern Valley eounty. which embraces
. strip of the northern part Of
Dawson county. ANY intelligent
man IN Sidney knows that the val
uation Of the proposed "Gate
County" will fall far short OF the
necessary four million dollars, but
they are like the Medicine Lake
sehemers, they think if they can
obstruct county division long
esough the time will come when
fnev will have the necessary valu-
ton in . smaller area which they
an control. All those in eastern
Valley county and northern Daw-
son Who want new county formed
in the near future will not be de.
esived. as they know that the
Gateway county proposition is the
ooly one that has . chance of WIN
