dates in the field one for county divi-
sion and the other being anti-division-
lists, that it behooved democrats to vote
for the republican legislative candi-
dates who stood against county divi.
sion, and that he himself was not pre-

way himself. He urged that the repub-

LEWIS COUNTY
AS A COMPARISON

Those who favor county division
have repeatedly referred to Lewis
county as an example of how small
county can be run but they do not call
attention to the fact that although
Lewis is small county, it is twice as
large financially and one third larger
in population than any one of the pro-
posed new counties would be if Idaho
were divided into three counties.
The assessed valuation of property
in Idaho county is $1l 100000. Divide
this by three and we have $3,s33,333 in
each of the new counties. The assessed
valuation of property in Lewis last
year was $S,372,045, or more than dou-
bic the amount that ore of the new
counties would have.
The voting population of Lewis
county is about $3.50, while that of one
of the new counties would be about
400.
If the expense of running one of the
new counties is the same as Lewis
county it will be necessary to double
the Lewis county tax levy for county
purposes in order to provide the same
amount of revenue in the new county.
The tax levy for county purposes in
Lewis county this year is exactly the
same as Idaho county. Let us see what
it will be if the county is divided:

BUILD BIG BARN.

E. 8. Sweet is erecting stock barn
on the Schmadeka place, just on the

struction which is under contract to
"Doc" Jesse.
Mr.. Sweet informs us that he will
keep all his fancy horses at this place
and will also use this as headquarters
for horses being bought and fitted for
market, line of business which he
proposes to embark in shortly.
