WHO'S WHO, ANY WAY?
Some agitation is in evidence at
the present time over the various
county offices. After the democrats
have expended much energy and time
in the s lection of persons to fill
the various offices occasioned by the
confcemplted resignations of officers
in this county it is lean.cd today that
many of the officers will not resign
owing to the fact that there is some
qu stion is to whether they would
he considered citizens of the new
county of Bonneville, and in the
even tof their not bel g considered
citizens of that district, they would
resign h re only to be out of jobs
an ■the way round. It is understood
that C. S. Beebe, who was a candi
date before the primaries, for the
nomination of prosecuting attorn y
in this county on the republican tick
et. and who was defeated by the peo
ple's vote in the capital city, ac
companied by Judge J. M. Stevens,
and their mission there is to s cure
the appointment of Mr. Beebe to the
position' of pros cuting attorney. All
the county officers and all wiho would
like to be officers left this morning
for Boise to talk to the governor.
POWER COUNTY BILL IS PASSED.
Old Bingham Gets Another Slice
Taken Off At The Extreme South
) ern End Of Her Anatomy.
The Capital News of Monday has
the following relative to the creat
ing of of Power couir.ty: —
Hiouse bill No. 130, by Burrell, the
Power county bill, was first taken up.
Burrell explained the bill and argued
its merits and claims. He claimed
it would have a total assessed valua
tion of $1,820,000, of which $1,100,
000 comes from Oneida county, and
most of the balance from the rail
road valuation to be taken from
Blaine county. He said the distance
by railway to the county seat mow
wes 19G mil s and by wagon road 72
miles over two mountain ranges, im
possible of passage during the winter
season. They have 1451 school child
ren in the proposed county, showing
a population of about 4,500 people.
Friend stated that he wished cu' be
half of Blain county to protest a
gaiinst division of that county without
adequate recompense.
Arthur said he realized that a sen
timent exists to divide many count
ies tin the state by the legislature.
He opposed division and declared
that th portion proposed to be tak
en pays as much tax to Blaine coun
ty as half tiie patented land, in the en
tire county. He said the whole plan
is a scheme for the perosnal benefit
of a few merchants and bankers of
Am iriean Falls.
Davis of O eida spoke in favor of
the new county, stating that the old
county is willing to have the division
made. He urged that it is a meas
ure which will greatly b nefit the
people concerned as well os the old
coui .ities. On roll call the bill passed
by a vote of 35 to 9, with 15 not vot
ing. Those v;ting the negative w re
Arthur, Bower, Dunning, Eekles, San
horn, Friend, Stephens, Walker and
Wil ion.
