Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. G. July %
Political matters in Washington
so far as West Virginia is con-
cerned, is in quiet state. The
Democratic congressional nom
nations have all been made; the
Progressives have named nearly
all their candidates and those
who are to be nominated are
pretty we'll known; while there
is doubt about only one more of
the Republican candidates for
Congressman, that in the second
district. The campaign has not
started and with many of the
nominees OF both the Democratic
and Republican parties tied up
in Congress it looks as though
the start of the Congressional
campaign would be late this year.
Midsummer dullness is on in
Washington just now and little

transporting in the national capital.
The news Of the resignation of
Governor Hatfield, followed by
the withdrawal of his resignation
and the dispute as to whether it
should be recorded in the minutes

COUNTY DIVISION.

The county division meeting held
In Homcdale last Saturday eveaing
was attended by about 100 citizens,
over half of whom were from Fargo
and other sections TO Canyon county.
Geo. Lee, chairman of the commit
tee recently appointed to gather
data in regard he proposed
boundaries and valuation, submitted
map showing Owyhee and Canyon
counties and the proposed new
county. As at present planned, the
new county would have about 432
square milese and on the basis of last
years assessment would have a val
uation of over $1,250,00O 1t is be-
lieyed that the assessment this year
will be increased at least a half
million.
Everyone present was given an
opportunity to express their senti-
monts and the proposition was quite
thoroughly discussed. Some seemed
to think that it might increase their
taxes but there was not dissenting
vote cast against forming new
county if it could be shown that 1t
could be operated without increas-
ing the taxes now paid.
The meeting clearly brought out |
the fact that at least 80 per cent Of |
the people of Fargo were in favor of |
division and all felt that they had
never received square deal from
Caldwell and Canyon county.
The committee has not had time
to gather all the necessary informa-
ton, but as soon as they can do so, u
meetings will be held in the different
sections of the proposed new county
