We Need the County.

Now that the people Of the new
proposed county of Phillips have
chosen those that are to run for office
it will be up to us to get busy and
get the new county. A set Of officers
are going to be of very little use to
us unless we have something for
them to do. They are without a
doubt as good "a set Of men as could
be selected to make the race aud il
makes no difference who is elected
any of them can fill the Offices to the
satisfaction of the public. Those
receiving nominations to Office will
necessarily put forth their best efforts
to get votes for themselves and the
new county. Tie people Of the new
proposed county should not be salts
fled with letting the various candi-
dates do the boosting. but should gel
out and do something.
With the various new counties in
the course Of construction through
the state it shows tile average voter
that a smaller and more compact
county is run at a smaller expense
than the larger ones, and there is not
Il comfy in the state which has been
created in the last few years that
would even as much as think Of going
back to the parent county. Take the
new county Of Sheridan for an
example. The taxes are far less in
that county than in old Valley, and
since cutting off they have more than
doubled their valuation aud at pres
ent there is q movement under way
to divide the county again. 6 The
same thing is true of Hill county.
The new county of Phillips can be
run for less than one-half:s of the
salary that is paid to deputies and
clerks in Valley county. The court
expense will be about one-third Of
what it is now, and the expense in
the office OF the sheriff will be small.
In the course of very few years
Phillips county will more than double
in valuation. Everyone can do a
little boosting for the new county
and put it across with the large
ma ority.

BODY FOUND.

Sunday afternoon party out boat
ing OH the Eau Claire river discovered
the body of man in what is known
as Means slough. District Attorney
German and Coroner Frawley were
notified and the body was brought to
shore. Apparently the man had
walked out on an old tree, thinking
that he could cross the slough and
had either fallen or jumped into the
water with suicidal intent. There
are no marks on the body to cause
suspicion of foul play. The remains
were taken to the Ritter & Deutsch
morgue. A pair of spectacles, an
empty folding pocket book and a shoe
string were tbs orly articles found in
his pockets. He is about sixty years
old. 1t had also been reported that
he had been employed in lumber
camp in the town of Easton owned by
Frank Aldridge, but Mr.. Aldridge
stated that no man of that name or
description has been in his camp. The
body had been vaguely identified as
that of a man called William Asch.
brenner, but today the remains have
been recognized as that of William
Hastine. No further particulars have
been received excepting that Mr..
Hastine has a son living in Chicago.
