Junction with a mova on the part , of
the Hood River taction to out off
'separate county out of the western por
tion of Viaaco in a political secret which
has born studiously kept tinder -cover
until this morning. l"P to this time
the work of arranging the detail of the
intended surprise which waa expected to
bo sprung suddenly at Be tern naa been
carried on successfully, and It Is a
foregone conclusion that there will be
a determined right botn ror and against
the dlvlalona contemplate!
Twice before during legislative see
alona an effort has been made to-cut
off the northern portion of Crook coun
ty, together with the southern elbow of
Wasco, and make of the two a separate
county. Heretofore these efforts for
the moat part have been confined to
, residents of southern Wasco county who
wished to establish a county seat at
Antelope and include In the new county
the rich whest .belt of northern croon.
Different Alliance Wow.
The attempt to create.' this division J
came very near proving successful at
the last session and was defeated prln-
ough the alliance of .the
Crook county factions with those in inr
Dalles, who were Wanting In a desperate
effort to keen Hood River from secur
ing a new county, in western WaacoyUo
gether with the county . seat. ' Crook
county gave her support to The Dalles
to defeat the Hood River movement In
.return for The Dulles' support againat
a division of Crook. " ' '.;':'"",
This year, however, there has been an
entire change of' program; and one
which no doubt will make. the fight
long and bitter. Instead of outside in
terests asking for a slice off Crook for
a new county, business men and resi
dents In the northern and western" por-
tne division. And in order to bring sue-
will lock elbows, not with The Dalles,
as was done two years ago. but with the
Hood River enthusiasts, led by the Hon.
. lu Smith, who will ask the legisla
ture to create a new county out of
weatern Wasco with the county seat at
the apple town. The undivided support
of each will be given to the other In
the attempt to gain the ends desired. :
The bitterest fight will come from
Crook county, where Dr. HI' P. Belknap,
the Joint representative of that district.
Is a resldent;of Prlneville, . the county
seat. Belknap i will resist the move
ment, and -will enlist all possible sup
port against It. while the fight wlU be
waged just aa strongly on the other
side, and the other aide this year will
have the advantage of combined forces.
Maps, profiles snd estimates ot the
taxable property of the two new coun
ties, which it is proposed shall be out
out of Crook, have been prepared and
are ready for submission to the legls
latuie. It is the Intention to call the
western division Deschutes county and
the northern section Madras county.

Timber Interests Object,
It Is stated that the effort to divide
Crook county., la made not only tor
business reasons, but in order that the
residents now living in th northern
and. western portions will not have to
80,00 ' uuui mouse a
which has Just been .authorised by th
county, court at Prlneville. In addition
to the interior , fight which they, will
have to face, the new county promoters
will also have th antagonism of th
timber Inlnrsls alnn? tht'Pem'hmne,
who -do not look-with favor upon thri
tnove. Th timber interests are enor
mous, and this Is one reason why such
secrecy has ' been maintained regarding
the movement. - - ,
Within the boundaries of the pro
posed Deschutes county alone, aalde
from the irrigation Interests, there are
1,500.000 acres of timber land owned
by corporations, representing a taxable
value of approximately tli. 000,000, and
taxes from thia land would necessarily
be the mainstay of the new county if
created. '
Hood River's fight will be promoted
along the asm llnrs ajfollowed two
years ago. and statistics will be pre
sented showing the phenomenal, growth
of the Hood River community. It di
versity of interests, population, and will
also recite th fact ' thst th growth

Grants Pass, Or.. Jan.. 11. The new
city council of Grants Pass has started
out with a fight on Its hands. A ma
jority of the members fail to confirm
the nominations of Mayor Smith for
street commissioner and night police.
The mayor nominated George W. Colvlg
for city attorney, J. Minor Booth fori
city recorder and N. W. McGrew for
city marshal. - These three nominations
were satisfactory to the council, but
objections were made to his nominating
H. W. Zoller for street commissioner
and James Swarlnger for night police.
The counoll, or a majority of the coun
cil, desired to retain G. W. Gllflllan, the
preaent street commissioner, and turned
down the nomination of James Swarln
ger on the grounds- that he "Indulges
In th vice that th night pollc Is sup
posed to prohibit." -
Mayor Smith declares that h will
make th appointments anyway, whether
the council confirm them or not, and
Is preparing to send notices of dismissal
to th present street commissioner and ,
night police, that th new men may be i
put In. In return th counoll are con-I
si daring the matter of acting- -opon- thoi

of "fixing the salaries of officers of ,
