and 60 per cent of the voters of Rem
vile county have signed the petitions
asking for the consolidation of the

as Lake, and the addition of six
townships of lower Renville to the
county of Ward, in return for the
seven townships to be given the pro-
posed Lake county, and which now
constitute the Gooseneck, according to
reports reaching Minot. The petitions
have been filed with the county audi
tor of Renville county, and the county
commissioners Of that county are ex-
pected to act upon them favorehly
very shortly, August Krantz of Ken
mare said today. Mr.. Krantz is in Mi
not attending the county fair.
Petition bearers are now working in
Burke county, and indications are that
this county will equal, if not exceed,
Renville county in the number Of vot-
ers who signed the petitions asking
shat the proposition be placed on the
ballot this fall. Some of the town
ships which have been canvassed in
Burke county are reported to have

ton as signers. One township is re-
ported to have signed up 100 per

they wish to consolidate with Rem
vile and Burke counties. The peti-
hons will be put in circulation in the
"Gooseneck" in the very near future,
