LISBON NAV HAVE TO
Fight FOR COUNTY SEAT.

Sheldon, n. D., March ia move
ment will he started here to move the
county seat from Lisbon to this point.
There is new law which requires
only SO per cent of the total vote to
change a county seat location.
The chief obstacle to the change is
the rivalry between Sheldon and En-
derlin If Enderlin would agree to
support Sheldon, it would be an easy
matter to transfer the county seat,
because the bulk of the vote is on the
east side of the county.
For years there has been agitation
for the establishment, of new town
three miles south Of here, where the
Northern Pacific and the 500 roads
cross. Such location would be the
most accessible and convenient in the
county. BUSINESS men Of Sheldon
have been urged to abandon the pres
ent townsitei and locate at the cross
ing on the grclnd that the t,wn would
double in size within few months
and then be the natural location for
the county seat.
