Coos Bay Towed In.
ITS ANGKLKa Feb. 1. The tug Re

ably would be granted, but tha pros
pects of creating Clearwater. Lewis and
Craig counties make tha requests of
Nes I'erca appear much larger than
they really are. County division has
dvtractod from the state bridge asked
to span tha Clearwater, and tha dam
bill, which means so much to the
North Fork of that stream. If both
measures are passed Nex Perce will
fare much bettor than many of the
other 1i counties demanding legisla
tion.
The county division situation is more
peculiar than ever before In the his
tory of the state. There are no less
than nine new county measures al
ready launched In the House and Sen
ate. If they are all passed there will
be 12 counties In Idaho within the next
six months. Rut all of them will prob
ably not meet with success. Those
which bear on their face the most merit
may receive serious consideration and
slide through. r
Legislature Must Bo Shown.
Tho Legislature Is skeptical and like
the man from Ulssorul "must be
shown." This wss proved beyond all
doubt when the Snake River or Donne
vil'.e County bill to divide Bingham
County came up In the Senate.
The nov county list today stands as
follows: Clearwater. Kamlah. Randall.
I.rwl3, Craig. Adams, Power, Snake
River and Clark. Five of the new coun
ties would select as their birthplace.
Idaho and Nex Perce counties: Kamlah
and Randall to originate In Idaho and
Clearwater, and Lewis and Cral? In
Nes I'erce. Adams would be the north
half of Waithlngton: Power County
made up of Cassia. Lincoln. Rlalne and
Twin Falls; Snake Rlvur or Bonneville
County, the north half of Bingham and
Clark and the west half of Fremont.
With but one exception all are new
counties In legislative history. The ex
ception Is Power, which broke Into the
10th session and missed passing; by
but one vote.
Valuation Not Large Enough.
It la said to he clearly tmposslblo for
the creation of three new counties out
of Nes Perce. The members of the
Legislature declare that the valuations
are not there and o.ily a hardship
would bs worked. Old Nex Perce would
be sadjy deserted by Its foster chil
dren If Craig. Clearwater and Te wis
were allowed to secede. As It Is the
county will probably lose at least some
of Its territory.
The Nex Perce delegation feels con
fident that two of tho new counties,
Clearwater and Lewis, will be crested,
but the legislative atmosphere will
have to be a great deal clearer than It
Is now. They assert that Clearwater
and Lewis have the assessed valuation;
that there Is a untted demand for the
new counties and It Is logical that in
view of the segregated Interests, of tha
respective localities no harm can be
done by creating them. Yet long peti
tions bearing the names of prominent
Nex Perce residents have been received
opposing Lewis County In particular.
With Clearwater tne situation Is dif
ferent. There are few If any remon
strances and no petitions on file for
consideration by the Legislature. It Is
also a strange fact that the committee
on county lines and boundaries in the
House has held up both bills for the
past two weeks. When they are rec
ommended out next week both will be
sent to the committee of the whole
without a report favoring or opposing
their passage. It will therefore be up
to the House to conduct the killing If
one Is to be done.
Craig County a Puzxle.
All of tha members of the Nex Perce
delegation were taken by surprise
when Craig County made Its appear
ance. They, of course, had heard of
the possibility of tha bill bring Intro
duced, but had never taken the matter
seriously. Accordingly when Repre
sentative Nlhart, of Twin Falls, pre
sented the Craig County bill they were
dumbfounded.
Craig County really absorbs all of
ths territory that Lewis County wishes
to Include, although It confines Its
boundary lines almost entirely to terri
tory within Nex Perce County. Rue
bens, the proposed county seat. Is but
a village, but centrally located so far
as the territory of tho proposed county
Is concerned.
That there ara a number of prom
inent Nes Perce residents behind tne
latest creation In the county line is
known to be a fact, but In legislative
circles, generally speaking. Craig
County Is not taken seriously. It Is
asserted that this division bill or..
eeks to Jeopardise the prospects of
Clearwater and Lewis County hills. It
Is placed on a same footing with Ka
mlah and Randall County measures,

torpid liver, cloudy urine, pains In the back
of the head and neck, rheumatic pains and
swelling all over the body, show that your
kidneys are diseased. If you have any ot
these symptoms, great care should be taken to at once stop the progress of the
disease, and prevent it becoming chronic, pregnating the entire system and caus
ing death.

is a wonderful remedv for advanced stapes of dropsy, lumbago, uraemic poison,
