the questions asked have ut different
times been answered and thoroughly
explained. However we will state
for the benefit of those who NAV he
seeking the information to the above
that the smaller and more compact a
county is the cheaper the running ex-
penses Of it will be, 10 make it per-
fectly plain we presume the writer is
II farmer and when talking of farm
ing and farm products is thoroughly
at home and dividing a county NAV
be little out Of his line Of work.
We will take the farmer for compar-
ison and deal with the subject on a
farm basis. How much cheaper can
you ran your place when it is all i'm
one body than you can when YOU are
forced to drive several miles daily TO
get to and from your work where
your land is scattered The same
thing will apply to county govern
menl as viii apply to Running IL wide
ly scattered farm. Why are all the
large mercantile establishments of
lie country getting under one roof if
it is not to cut down the unnecessary
expenses?
The same thing is true of road
work, bridges aud schools as is true
OF the expense OF the county. A
small county will receive more bene-
lit OF the money expended for such
! improvements than a large one for
the simple reason that there is only
about one third the territory to work
Oh and improve. You state you trav-
I'll over the same roads, collleps and
hills that you have for years and it is
very possible that the same condition
Will continue as long as the county
remains its present size. We are not
finding fault with the county com
mssloncrs who have served during
The past few years but they are only
men and impossible for them to know
the needs Ut every community ia the
county and II they should know them
they haven limited amount of money
to spend and its iAe ones with the
strongest pelIjon THAT pulls down
the plum This would he almost en-
tirely eliminated in Il smaller county
when the commissioners could per
soually look after the rights of the
people aud use their judgement where
the money should be spent. a. to
the increase in value OF land it would
undoubtedly increase it to a certain
extent. 1t would bring You closer
to the county seat.
we are correct when we say that
IN Valley county for the year Just
closed there was S., o5O,a32 more pN-
pended for clerk and deputy hire i'm

To the Editor of The Enterprise:
IT you will permit | would like to
ask few questions through the col
,umns of the Enterprise and have
them answered. There is II great
amount of talk just now in my TO-
calty in regards to county division,
whether it would be It good thing for
the community or not and as it is Il
question that the people must be en-
iightened on | take the ibevty to ask
the following questions: In the first
place viii county division lessen the
taxation and can a small county be
run at smaller expense than a larg-
Ell one? Will the farmers through out
the county be benefited in better
roads, bridges and schools and in
crease in the price of theis land? In
speaking of the road question | have
lived here for q number of years and
during that time do not remember
Of dollar being expended in road
work. We Of this part of the coun-
try are travelling the same old roads,
across the same old coulees and M
the same hills that we travelled wears
before this country was taken up as
a farming country.
III your issue of December oath you
state the salary paid to deputies and
clerks III one OF the offices of the
county Of Valley is something like
- 900 more than would be paid to the
fHl' set OF officers III the new county,
IL one be created, that haze stated
salary, Now do you mean by this
That the Office of clerk aud recorder
cost the taxpayers that sum oyer what
ii Wonld cost to run the entire set of
officers IN Phillips county? With
these questions answered TO the salts
faction of the voters of this part of
the county | think they would be
unanimous for county division.
A Taxpayer
1t is u pleasure to answer the above
communication and there is no doubt
in our mind but that we can answer
it to the entire satisfaction Of the
voters OF the new county, In fact all
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1915-01-07

who have stated salary and that is
not all, you may add to that amount
the sum Of 81, 100000 as salary for the
clerk and recorder.
We think this covers the most OF
the questions asked and that the an
swers will be entirely satisfactory
Ii there is anything further the En-
terprise can enlighten you OH we are
ready aud willing to do so.

Accidental Death

The corouer's jury which held an
inquest over the remains of Tim Proc
tor at Olimulgec decided that his
death was purely accidental. and the
railroad company was fully eXoner-
uted from all blame.
As stated I'm yesterdays World, Tim
met his death after being elected from
"A Frisco passenger train. because he
failed 10 have railroad fare. Testi-
mony showed that he was put off the
train while II was at a standstill
There are two theories one that
he caught the rear end of the Pull
man and fell off when he reached a
bridge upon which a part OF his re-
mains were found. and the other Is
that he started to walk and was struck
by freight train The real truth
will never be known
The fare Cor lack Of which Tim was
Put on the train was IL cents, and
while he was accompanied by another
Gr1ian. no proffer Of the money was
made by his companion. In his
pockets when his clothing was
searched were found - cents (enough
to pay the fare) and a gold watch.
Tim was popular Indian. and his
untimely death under such circum-
stances is deeply regretted by all who
knew him.
