the inland towns, Shields and Pretty
Rock. All OF these towns have had
delegations in Bismarck almost every
day since the recent election created
Grant county, and every aspirant for
county seatship is represented at the
hearing in progress this afternoon.
TO Name Board at Once.
At the opening of the hearing Gov
ernor Hanna announced that he would
make his appointments Immediately,
providing he is served before the close
OF the hearing with an Official notice
of the creation of Grant county. This
had not been done up to noon today,
the action probably awaiting the Off.
ctal returns of the Morton county
canvassing board.
\ Must Organize Immediately.
Upon the appointment Of the three
commissioners, they will be required
to meet at once and organize the ,coun.
ty board. This board will select a
county seat, appoint a sheriff, treasur.
er, auditor. register of deeds, county
Judge. clerk of court, states attorney
and other officers; arrange for the
transcription of records from Morton
county, and make provision for the
collection of taxes due Grant county.
The last named item is an important
one, as the newly created county nat.
urally has not penny in. its treas.

It is generally taken for granted
among the towns seeking the county

because Of their ability to agree upon

that this will be, the case. however.

Legislative Representation.
There has been some uncertainty as
to Grant cOunty's representation in
the Fifteenth assembly,, and a question
as to whether the new commissioners
would be called upon to name sena-

MORE TROOPS TO BORDER
PRESIDENT ORDERS 5000 ADDl-

Clearly lntimated That There VIII BE
No Change in Attitude of Wash
ington Government.

Washington.-Wi 5000 additional
troops under orders for the border in.
Guiding 1000 National Guardsmen
from Arizona, New Mexico and Texas,
administration officials felt that i'm
mediate steps had been taken to pre-.
vent further raiding of American bor-
der towns by bandits.
Meanwhile, the final outcome of
the conference at Ell Paso between
Major General Scott and General
oDregon, the Carranza war minister,
was awaited with considerable anxi.
ETY..
president Wilson and his cabinet
discussed the Mexican situation, but
the president had authorized the new
troop orders before his advisers gath
cred.
Officials were frankly pessimistic
after the meeting over the DELAY Of
General Obregon in ratifying the
agreement he negotiated with General
Scott covering cooperative border
operations. Reports from Mexico CITY
indicated that the agreement had
been approved by General Carranza,
and officials here were at loss to
understand Obregons action.
1t was clearly intimated in all quar-
ters that there would be no change in
the policy Of the Washington govern.
ment; that the troops would stay in
Mexico until the border was safe
from pcursions; that raiders would
be pursued across the line every time
they became active; and that the
whole strength Of the National Guard
would be used, If necessary.
Secretary Baker said the question
or calling guardsmen from other
states into the service was not under
immediate consideration.
