,CoDyrIgnI.J

Albert Rolph, one Of the promi-
nent ranchers of the Freedom coun-
try was in Alton last week, and in
conversation with the editor of the
Independent he said the people of
his section were going to make an
effort to have the Idaho-Wyoming
boundary line changed so as to throw
the Freedom section into the latter
state. Here is what the Independ-
ent has to say about it:
'Mr. Rolph informs us of a move
ment that is on foot by the residents

in the eastern boundary line Of Ida

by the residents of Idaho, who reside
on the eastern slope of the Caribou
range of mountains, which will be
presented to the next Idaho legisla-
ture, praying that a row of town.
ships extending from the northern
boundary of Bear Lake county to
the Swan Valley country, be taken
from the state of Idaho and annexed
to Wyoming. Other petitions will
be circulated by the residents of this
side of the state line and presented
to the Wyoming delegation asking
that this be done.

Diary line of a state is naturally 6
