Two weeka aco In these columns we asked Tho Redmond Spokesman questions for the purpose of develop ing Its nttltude on tho county divis ion question. To the first, whether Iledmond did not peek to divide Crook county six years ago Tho Spokesman hns replied saying "Six yearn ago It was the law that tho legislature created new counties, etc." This reply The Spokesninn Hives "according to Its best Informa tion." Ah n stntement of a bare mid un interesting fact what our Iledmond 'friend hnH to fay about the IckIpIiiN i r) Ik trim. It is alro mlxleadlng insofar as It snggrtH that only the legislature could divide n county. Does tho Spokesman wlnh to be mis leading In till dlvirbm campaign? Or does It wish to discuss the Ishuom Involved In a straightforward and -quaro fashion' Possibly The Spokes man will answer these questions and nt tho same time Inform us what lis aiiauer to the tlrst oucMlon of two weeks ago would bo If It should learn 'that Mm legislature had nothing to do with tho Crook countv division matter fathered by Iledmond In 1910? Wlilln wo nre finding out Just where The Spokesman Mnndx on these questions we would like to hnvo answers In n few more, namely: (1) How does The KpnkcMnan arrive nt Kb figures of $200,000 ne the cost of erection of new buildings 111 case tho county Is divided, and (2) Was Tho Spokesman In favor or opposed to tho erection of the Redmond Vnlon High School district which plarcd an ad ditional tnx burden on the people of tho dlHtrlcls comprising It 7 The Spokesman says that "It stood ready to endorse (ho derision of Its town and district on division, etc., and still maintains the same stand." Does this mean that If the town Wiouiii now iiecuie to inunrse (in in Ion The Spokesman would bo In fa- or oi mo propoBiuoii' Oh, yvA, ant) does The Spokesman agree with II. S. Cram Sons, whoso letter It published last week, that III 10 years llend "will go Into Its sec ond childhood." i .. THE ('. O.
