popular now. And they are bound
to be ten times so.
One is the Springfield Type
Touring Sedan, daintily uphol-

EOUNTY DIVISION
IS NOT DESIRED
)EARY BANKER DECLARES PEO-
PIE IN SECTION DON'T WANT
NEW COUNTY
Plan For Creation Of New County
From Latah and Clearwater
Started at Elk River

No section of Latah county wOulc
oppose county division more strenu-
busly than that around Deary, accord
ng to ]. A. Harsh, the Deary banker
who was in town today The idea OF
combining with a part OF Clearwater
county to form a new county does not
appeal to the taxpayers of the Deary
and Bovill sections for the reason that
they would Immediately become liza
BILE for the considerable part of the
Clearwater county debt which would
he apportoned to the segregated part
of the county.
The idea of forming new county
Originated at Elk River, which is To-
Gated in the northwest corner Of Clear
water county, remote from Orofino,
the county seat, and which naturally
should be included in Latah county.
1t would be advantageous to Elk Ri
yer in many ways to be included in
Latah county, and especially so to be
the county seat of a new county; but
the formation of a new county would
be distinctly Instantaneous to any
portion of Latah county that would
be included in 1t, for it would be taken
from a county without debt to be put
into one burdened with the debt in
cident to the organization of new
county, and with portion of the debt
of Clearwater county.
Officials of the timber companies
do not favor the organization of a
new county according to MI. Harsh,
for the reason that in order to sup
port another county administration
it would be necessary to increase their
taxes land nothing could be gained
that would in any way offset the in
