BINGHAM COUNTY WAY
OFF IN ITS DEDUCTIONS
Big Butte is Not Located Range Line TwentyNne and
that Being the Boundary Line of Power County. Verv
Little Merit Attaches to the Claim of Our Neghbor TO =
"a Big Slice of Power County Territory

According to the deductions made
Nv the surveyors of Bingham, Blaine
and Power counties. there doesn't
tgnnear TO be much merit in the
claim of Bingham county that it
&c entitled to strip of territory
four by seventeen miles west of the
Bingham-Power line.
The maps show that the Big
butte is on range 30, when it is not,
and following the argument Of the
creators of Power county, together
with the definite point of beginning
as cited in the bill, there can be
little on which Bingham can stand
In its demand for the extra terri
tory. 4
Engineer Frank Moench, county
surveyor of Power county, is home
from a joint surveying trip with the
surveyors OF Bingham and Blaine
counties. The three were instruct
ad nv the boards of commissioners
of the three counties to set the
county lines and determine the 10
cation of the Big butte, as well
as points Of beginning. Working
on the range lines as established
by authorities, the surveyors first
started a mile west of range 29 and
ran line eight miles north, which
was sufficient to show that the line
as claimed by Bingham does not
strike the Big butte four and
A half miles west of the line defin-
ing the boundary between Bingham
and Power, but that the butte is
really mile west of range 20
which would hold the contention
of Power county good, as there is
conveyance east in the range lines
Again, Bingham claims the Bic
butte is in Section 26, as determined
by both federal and other engineers
The substance of the matter II
that there is a jog in the boundary
line establishing Power county, an'
Bingham contends that it owns

in order to handle the grain. In
Power county it is estimated that
the wheat crop will be in excess of
100000 bushels, and the Press is
Informed by grain people that they
will probably open with a price of
95 cents per bushel for loose grain.
and 81 dollar per bushel sacked.
incidentally 1t is estimated that
$4,000 sacks have been delivered
thus far this season, and at 10 X
cents each, it is not apparent where
in the farmer laid up much money
as he could build granaries for prac-
tica'ly the difference In the price
between loose and sacked grain.
Elsewhere throughout the state
comes the report of good crops,
and il will be a good fall While
the price Of wheat is likely to re-
main around a dollar for a time,
il is reasonably certain to take a
material jump later in the game

setting a stone four and half miles
west of the range line. but it can
hardly be seen wherein there is
much argument in the action. as
the point marked is entirely out of
the territory interested and estab-
Hshes nothing. Surveyor Moench
did not join with the Bingham sur
yeyor in such marking.
Further than that, County At
torney Good of Bingham, in his
prepared argument, cited sections
Of the bill creating the county of
Bingham. and Surveyor Moench. up
on returning home and investigat-
ing the bill found that the citations
had been quoted out of order and
than there was nothing to the pro-
posed plan On the strength Of this
the Bingham factors are contending
that both Blaine and Power are
backing out on the agreement. when
there never was an agreement to
sustain misquoted argument.
In short, Bingham desires to run
an imaginary line on the half sec
tion line that would deprive Power
county Of a strip of territory four
by seventeen miles, when the loca-
tion of the Big butte, which is cited
as one base for argument. is
definitely shown, range line 29 is
east of the Butte, and the point OF
beginning for the establishment OF
the Power county line is definitely
fixed, so that straight line, drawn
on accurate survey and establish ed
lines would throw the Power county
line east Of the butte and as
originally cited, on range line 20.
Each of the surveyors will report
to his board of commissioners, and
action will be. continued by those
bodies. 1t is granted by the Blaine
authorities that the claim of Power
county is correct, and its position
will stand on the wording of the bill
creating the county.

escaped from the Matteawan state

It is believed that extradition is

Thaw was reported to have board
ed a yacht lying off the coast. with
the intention of landing at some
southern port and then proceeding
to Pittsburg.
Thaw's escape was one of the
most dramatic affairs of the kind
ever recorded. After knocking dowr

milkman to the Matteawan asylum
grounds he leaped into a taxicao
