been announced by The Review
= the citizens Of Glendive do not
oppose the creation of WibauN
county If none Of the boundaries
approach within Is miles of the
Gate City. So At least The Re.
view has been assured BY repre-
sentative business men and cit
izens Of Glendive, and this pa
per is taking their word for it.
Take the statement quoted,

ing assessed valuation would be
SO reduced as to pervent the for
nation OF Wibaux county then
is it not true that the segrega-
tlon OF the area in the eastern
end to bring about the formation
OF Wibaux county. would also
reduce the valuation so as to
prevent the creating of 2 county
IN the western section?
In forming the west end county

the required valuation at least
So, 900, 600 would be taken from
Dawson. while in creating Wi
haux county. but little more than
half OF that amount. it is under
stood, would be taken from Daw-
son. This fact alone, is suffici-
ent to demonstrate the ahsurdi-
ty of the allegation.
In the second place it is well
by all who are in the least
acquainted with The situation.
that the western end of Dawson
IS not yet ready for county divi-
sion for obvious reasons. The
