HERE IN INTEREST
OF CLARK COUNTY
Representative Delegation
From Eastern Fremont
Arrives in Boise to Boost
for the Measure.

Clark county registered on the leg
islative calendar today with the arrival
in the city of "a delegation of 10 dis
tingushed residents of the eastern FIRE.
mont county. They are here to see
that the proposed county of Clark is
given fair consideration and to Demon
strate to solons that it is entitled to
separation from old Fremont county.
The delegation Is composed of 5. *.
Clark. IF. &. Wood, J. X. t'oyle. K. w.
katerndahl, g. =. Button, j. Ii. Har-
mon, &. Z. Jensen, 4. G. Wood, Frank
Reno and Elmer Davis.
That there is going TO be no DISPOSE
ton OH the part OF the delegation from
Fremont county to block "a fair con-
sheraton of the claims of Clark
county is apparent with the an
nouncement that member of that
delegation in the present legislature
will introduce the division bill.
REQUIRES BIG PERCENTAGE.
The proposed county of Clark has
an assessed valuation of 100000, a
population of 5000 or 33ls per cent of
the assessed valuation Of the old county
and II per cent of the population. FIRE.
mont county has total assessed val
uation of $S,500.000 1t covers an area
of 1000 square miles to 1900 for the
proposed county of Clark. Today it is
100 miles across Fremont county as the
crow flies, and that, the county division
advocates declare, is altogether too
far
one of the interesting features of
the Clark county division bill be a pro-
siSrir SEE he,
cast faVoring it before it can be Great
cd. In other words the measure will be
in the form of an enabling act. This is
the highest percentage ever placed in a
proposed county division bill in the his
tory of the legislature, 1t Is said. The
county seat of the new county is to
be decided by popular vote. 1t lies be-
tween Spencer and Dubois, both of
which will be candidates If the bill
passes, at an election to be held in the
fall Of the present year.
PRESENT CONDITIONS.
1T now takes three days to so and
return from tho present county seat of
Fremont county from the eastern sec
ton said one of the Clark county adj
Nocatcs when seen today. 1.-THE trip
must be made via Idaho Falls and it
is necessary to remain over in that city
night each way. This inconvenience
alone justlfies new county and new
county seat. 1t is 100 miles to the pre-
sent county seat. \ barrier of sand
hills between old Fremont and what we
propose to make Clark county makes
a direct route to the county seat i'm
possible. There has been but one pro-
secution in seven and one half years
on our side of the county yet we bord =

known that bookkeeping is in progress
This is not to be taken as a reflection
ON the county officials. They try t.
enforce the law but the distances are
50 great it is difficult to do so. Why,
some of the property in oar part of the
county has not been assessed for sew
eral years because the assessor could

make the rounds. All this would be
changed with the creation of new
county"

BURGLAR1ES COMMITTED.

The business place of B. B. Brown
on California avenue, was entered
sometime last Sunday night and
several firearms together with some
articles of jewelry. composing prizes
to be given to winners on the
punch board, valued at about 500,
were stolen. There was some small
change in the cash register but this
was not taken, nor was anything
else about the place as far as known.
The marauders entered by the back
door by unlocking the same with a
skeleton key, and upon leaving the
place they considerably locked the
door behind them.
On the same night some person or
persons attempted to gain an en-
trance into Lew Miskell's place OF
business, but evidently gave up the
scheme after cutting the wire netting
on the screen door, only to find that
the inner door was locked and that
the key had been left in the lock, 80
skeleton key could not be inserted.
This is not the first time these
petty burglaries have been commit
ted, and 1t is believed that the guilty
ones do not live far from Parker.

sHANSSEY ANSWERS LAST CALL.

J. H. Shanssey, one of the super
visors of Yuma county, died Tuesday
afternoon at 3:19 at the Clara Bar
ton hospital in Los Angeles.
Deceased had suffered the greater
part of a year with a complication of
ailments, finally developing into gan
creme in one of his lower limbs. Mr..
Shanssey would never give in that
anything of nature likely to prove
fatal had grip ON him, and it was
more due to his indomitable will
power than anything else, he was able
to withstand the dread disease as
long as he did.
John Hugo Shanssey was born in
New York 67 years ago. When he
came west he lived in the state of
Texas for long time, later coming
10 Arizona. He was married in Yu-
ma on June %, 1904, to Miss Cath
crime O'Connor, and his faithful
wife survives him. There were no
children as a result of the marriage,
and no other relatives of deceased
i've in Yuma or Arizona that are
known to the old timers who knew
Mr.. Shanssey for many years.
In politics Mr. Shanssey was al
ways a democrat. And he was ever
| hard worker for his party, which
IGNORED him many times by placing
Tim in positions of public trust and
lonor. For many years he was may
)r of Yuma and one Of the very best
mayors this town ever had. No eff
ort was too irksOme for him if he
.ould serve the city by performing 1t.
mother Office which he held for sew
n or eight years was county super
dsOr, having been a member of the
BOARD when the court house was
)uilt. After serving a number of
ears In this Office he was defeated
one term. He was again elected,
however, and died while one of the
nembers of the board
