Committees were appointed to canvass among those who would be most benefited by the change for funds with which to defray the ex­ penses of building a courthouse free of cost to the taxpayers and to build and place in good repair the public roads leading into Prairie City, independent of the regular county tax funds. Five represen­ tative citizens of the town who were present at the meeting volunteered to give $1000 for this purpose, and it is learned that several others have subscribed a like amount each since that time. The committees report rapid progress in securing the necessary subscriptions, and expect to be aide to report the required amount with­ in a short time. Other committees will be ap­ pointed as soon as this feature of the work is satisfactorily provided for, and the matter will not be al­ lowed to rest until the last ballot has been counted and the county seat location won or lost. In order to bring the matter to a vote it is necessary to present a pe­ tition to the county court. This petition must be signed by at least three-fourth as many voters as there was votes cast at the last proceed­ ing election. County'Judge Mc- Haley says he so understands the present laws; but these laws do not state the length of time the petition must be presented to tho court be­ fore the election. In Canyon City the news of the movement to take the county seat from that town has caused a great deal of general discussion, but no public recognition of it has so far been taken. It is certain, however, that a fierce fight will lie made by the business and professional men to retain the location, and as prac­ tically all the legal talent in the couty is gathered at the present county capital the defensive opera­ tions will be well directed and vig­ orously maintained.
