Rumors that Certain candidates for the legislature are In favor of county division, are not only without foun dation, but If such was the case, the matter Is entirely without th rm. inve of the legislature, as section J, of article XI of the constitution of Ore gon absolutely prohibits the legisla ture from creating a county by a law passed for that purpose.. To show how entirely Improbable It Is that the legislature will ever pass a general law on the subject. It Is only necessary to recall the fact that Hood r.iver has gone before the peo ple of the whole state in Its effort to have Wasco county divided. It is 'herefore parent that any rumor to the effect that any of the candidates favor county division are not caused by any real fear that there Is any dan ger, but by political purposes alone. ; 44-1 Children's Day at White Boose.
