COUNTY DIVISION BEFORE
PEOPLE IN NOVEMBER

AAidC CAlC PCOp9C VI N1OA%CNAi
county feel that the time has
come to divide the county, goes
without saying. The question has
been the bone Of contention for
a number Of years and the peo-
pie in general feel that it is
about. time. it is settled once and
for all. At various times dur
ing the past eight years the
question has been raised and di-
vision proposed and up to the
present time. the voters have
kept the county intact, due more
to the fact that the division
proposed were palpably SO I'M
fair than to any real opposition
to county division. The real
trouble has always been that, in
proposing a division no thought
was ever given to the real well
fare Of the resident Of the coun-
ty the only aim Of the promoters
Of county division being seeming
ly to divide the county in such
a way as to give political pres
.tige to the promoters and to
build up a county about their
town with the object Of getting
the county seat for their home
town, no thought being given as
to what condition it would leave
the part of the county in, which
was not included in the division.
Six years ago a division was up
before the people known as the
Stevenson county division which
would have left a bootleg in the
northeast corner Of the county
which would have been an ever
lasting disgrace not only to
Stevenson county but to Mclean
as we'll, had s.: carried, which, it
very nearly did. Again this
spring a division was started
for a proposed county of Robin
son which would have stripped
Mclean county Of practically all
its territory leaving them barely
enough townships to constitute
a legal county. After the Han
ma county proposition had been
circulated and it was plainly e
that the Robinson county petit
ton was dead, the Robinson
County boosters went down to
| Washburn and offered to give
the old county a number Of town
ships on the northeast corner
lif the south end Of the county
would only stand by them.in the
fight, but the people in the south
part of the county would have
nothing to do with the PROPOSE
ton, for it made a worse boot
leg than the old Stevenson coun-
ty proposition did.
So it can be plainly seen that
the people are anxious to have
the matter settled, if possible,
at the coming election. There
has been a strong sentiment in
the north part Of the county for
county division for a long time,
as the county is too large. A
large PERCENTAGE Of the voters
lin the north part Of the county
will vote for division in any form
but the only thing that has say.
led the county so far was the
fact that a fair and equitable
division never was proposed unit
this fall.
But the Hanna county propos-
ed division, unlike the other pro
pissed divisio ns, was not gotten
up by a bunch Of POLITICAL trick,

sters but as the result Of a com
promise. 1t was gotten up with
the sole object in view Of putt
ing a division before the eopple
which treated both the old and
the new counties alike and one
which gave no heed to county
seat fights or the political fut-
ures Of some certain politicians.
It divides the county into two
almost equal parts, geographic
ally, and the lines were drawn
with the object in view Of CIV
ing the best possible working
county to both the new and
old counties. If the Hanna coun-
ty division carries it will settle
once and for all time division
in this county and eliminate any
chance in the future for a
division ike that Of the old
Stevenson proposition slipping
through.
The people in the south part
Of the county, we believe, real
i2e that the county is too large
at the present time and that
the people in the north part of
the county have good grounds
for a kick. One trip to the
county seat from any place along
the north line Of the county
costs a farmer as much as the
taxes on one quarter section Of
land amounts to for one year.
1t seems to be the sentiment Of
the people throughout the coun-
.ty that the question should be
settled this fall and eliminate
expensive campaigns and law
suits over subjects.-Max Enter

County division Of Mclean
county has got to come some
time in the near future and the
proposition now offered the peo-
pie is the best and most fair pro-
position that has ever been pro-
posed. Some look at the two
tiers Of townships along the. north
in the proposed Hanna county,
shake their heads and mutter,
"goose neck" Call it what we
may, this strip Of the new pro-
posed county, traversed its en-
tire length by the 500 railroad
which will bring thousands of
dollars to the county each year.
besides affording ample facili-
ties for those who live in the
"goose neck" to reach the coun-
ty seat by rail. Those who call
this strip the goose neck should
remember that the neck is "a
part Of the bird and everything
must pass through, the neck to
reach the body and it's a mighty
poor neck that can't get, chok..
ed.-Benedict Banner.
There is no question but that
Mclean county is going to be
divided at the coming election.
The new county will be COM
posed Of the two north rows OF
townships and the reservation.
This gives the old county 81
townships and the new county -
townships. The new county is
to be called Hanna and contains
the villages Of Dogden, Ruso,
Max and Benedict. Max will
get the county seat without oppo
sition. Both the. new counties will
vote for this division. Only Gar
rison is opposed to it. Garri-
schemes will never materia-

Failure of Crops
Adds to Japan's
Internal Trouble

TOXIC, Jan 14.-With the devasta-
tion of the southern part of the Island
of Kiushiu by volcanic eruption. tidal
waves, earthquake and fire. following
the crop failure in Northern Japan.
where ten million people are starv-
ing, the imperial government is faced
with the most appalling national prob
lem Of modern ages.
While the foreign Office estimates
the loss of life in the eruption Of the
volcano Sagura-Jima at three hundred,
private kilograms from the south in
dicate that the final death list will
run into the thousands.
The Japanese government may be
forced to appeal to the outside world
for financial aid, as it is estimated
that $25 100000. at least, will be needed
to succor all the victims of disaster in
the north and south.
