COUN TY
The Western Part OF Meaqher
County in Favor of Its
Creation.

The following is an extract from
the Meagher Republicans:
It must be painfully evident to
the Waring elements below that
there is not a dissenting voice in
the west end Of the county as to
county division. Our only trepid
alton is that the eternal scrapping
now going ON for the proposed
county seat will end in failure to
carry the measure of county divi-
sion.
The residents Of the western
part of the county must not let
this worry them. Wheatland
county will be created ON May 9th,
and we assure the Meagher County
Republican we are just as anxious
to be cut off from old Meagher
county as they are to get rid Of us.
We are not very anxious so remain
in county where it requires over
$4,000 to support the poor of the
county on the county poor farm.
Oh! [ forgot that the commission
ers are importing a car load of
thoroughbred cattle to stock the
poor farm-no doubt to supplg the
farmers of Smith River valley
with good stock.
1t has been considerable expense
to Mcagher county to prepare the
poor farm for a thoroughbred stock
