The county division question is
naturally creating considerable dis

Deschutes voHoy Tribune of Culvor
County division la going to bo ono
of the iwRRcut lssuos of the election
this fall. The workers In tho Juffer-
son county movomattt are nlrcady In
tho field and have already secured
more than enough names required to
uo on the petition by ww. This pe
tition will later bo presented to tho
county court asking that thin ques
tion tie submitted to the voters th.a
fall.
Tho people of Hend nd vlclnlv
have been studying tho matter for
some time and the Commercial Club
of that placo have endorsed the Jef
ferson county movement. Only re
cently, however, hnvo steps been tak
en by them to petition for a new
county In the southwestern part of
Crook to be known as DesohuUs
count.
Some time ago n number of ttond
pceplo visited Iledmond In order to
tlnd out how the Redmond people
looked upon tho question of county
division, but very little was accom

seemed to be agreeable to all present

part of old Crook emmty Is fast un

has rapidly settled up the broad acres
and tho great desire that we hnvo
home rule over this part of the broad
domain makes that nervous, unousy
feeling which will mnlntaln until w

vision Is sure to come, ivnd it Is a
good thing for us tlmt the November
election of this fall Is as close and
that It will determine tho boundaries.
It Is proposed to make three coun
ties out of old Crook count), tho
north end of tho present county to
be known as Jefferson count), the
south end, In which Is located U
Pine, to bo known oh Deschutes
county, nnd tho northeast part to re

petition has been quite generally

.frank and fair discussion Is now here. On l&st Saturday a committee from
"The very fnct that this county tho northern part of Crook county
division question coullnue to llvo Jnct with tho Hend Commercial Cluh
nnd to -grow would seem to prove the . at their regular Saturday luncheon
necessity for sneh. a movement, lcav-iand discussed tho matter of county
Ing only the time, place and condl-1 division. The trend of tho discus-
tlons to le settled. Tersely stated, slon showed that those present con
'tho question of whether or not Crook
county should be divided at the prep
rint time resolves itself Into two oKv-
rnents that of convenience and cost.
As to the first element there could be
"no discussion. The county Is large
"too large to bo convenient to many
of Its cltUeas. Particularly Is this
true In the matter of county seat
-facilities. In such a largo area of
country It would undoubtedly bo a
great convenience to a majority of
,the people tovbave two or more coun-
.ty seats Instead of one as we now
nave. The amrmative or this ele
ment of county division must be con
ceded. r'Upon tho second element to be
considered that of cost, It Is not so
easy to arrive at' a wise conclusion.
"Would It cost more to establish and
conduct three counties In the given
area than, one, pr would It cost less.
If more, how much more. If less,
how much less. Upon the satisfac
tory answer of these questions almost
the whole case should be decided."
""The Jefferson County View,
From the north end of Crook coun-
sldored the question of county divis
ion a good thing to be decided now
because It would be better for all
portions of the present county. That
the county at present Is so large that
there Is very little Interest In com
mon between the distant sections so
far as road Improvement is concern
ed. and that there will be constant
difficulty concerning these affairs.
Another argument Is that tho natural
commercial outlet Is toward thoTall-
roads, and that the average taxpayer
expends a' large amount each year In
going to and from the prcsont county
scat to transact business with the
county. This Is a large expense which
Is not usually figured.

the question In an able manner,
pointing out the desire for home rule
that actuates the supporters of the
movement.- In Its Issue of the 23rd
It says:
County division Is a live question:
the air Is full of It It Isn't a mat-
action of tho settlers might better bo

on his suggestion that the vote of the
meeting contemplated proceedings

Ono of the last speakers was C. S.
Hudson, who was drawn Into the ar
gument because the resolution pre
sented to the meeting purported to
unlto the business men of this section
with the settlers against the com
pnny. Pointing out the flat contra
diction of each other an to the bond
for the repair of the flume lie urged
tl;at here wns an opportunity to

assent. He said, too, that Mr. How

books for examination should be ac
cepted "If Mr. Howard Is right,"
he said, "let's all get In and push
htm ahead and help the company all'
we can. If he is wrong, let's all help
to push ttlin out?"

8am Hill Is exerting all his Influence
toward routing tho Paolflc Highway
