CHILEAN FOR COUNTY SEAT
OF PROPOSED NEW COUNTY
Lake CheIan Region with Big Piece Of
OkanOgan County is the
Proposition

The Chelan News OF the past week
contained the following information,
which will be interesting reading, even
if based on nothing more substantial
than pipe dream:
while representative Of the News
was in Pateros the first OF the week, he
was approached by several prominent
citizens Of the Methow valley with the
suggestion that movement be started
to form new county, to consist of the
territory included in the Chelan and
Methow valleys. The people Of Pater-
os appear to be anxious to secede from
Okanogan county, and would prefer
most any kind of arrangement to the
present one, whereby it is necessary
for them to travel over the mountains a
long distance and in a round about way
to Concouully whenever they have any
business to transact at the county seat.
AS to where the county seat would
be located in the proposed new county,
is question that would not stand in
the way of the formation of such coun-
ty, say Pateros people, though MAORI
ty of them would be in favor OF having
it established at Pateros. But there
would be, however, no serious objec-
ton to having the court house at Che
Ian, they say, everything else being
agreeable. They claim it would not
inconvenience them to any great ex-
tent to come down the Methow valley,
where they hope to have good roads,
to Pateros, and from there take the
train to Chelan, which would be only
few minutes ride.
Mr.. Bollinger, of Methow, was es-
pecially enthusiastic over the proposed
new county. Neither the Methow or
Chelan valley by ITSELF" he said, has
enough taxable property at present to
operate separate county without bur
dening the tax payers, but the two to-
gether would form one that would fur
nish sufficient taxable property and geo.
graphically would be feasible as well.
The scenery of the Chelan valley has
its duplicate in the Methow, and with
good road between Chelan and the
upper Methow valley, tourists to Lake
Chelan would make side trip to the
Methow, while Methow valley would
have easy access to Lake Chelan where
they would spend considerable time in
the summer, thus making it advantage
GUS TO both places"
Okanogan county occupies as much
territory as an ordinary state in the east,
and division Of some kind is bound to
come soon. At the last session OF the
legislature an effort was made to organ
ize separate county Of the Methow
valley to be known as Methow county,
but the measure failed to receive the
necessary attention at the hands of the
state solons.

The Isenhart brothers will finish this
week the planting of eighteen acres OF
apricots on their land Just east OF Che

the danger of damage from frost is
