• • 9 VOLUME IX. • I • • EKALAKA, (CARTER COUNTY) MONTANA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1917. NUMBER 7 ePw \Carter\ County Is Now A Fact The Name of \Sykes'' Changed to \Carter\ in,Honor of Former U. S. 8enator Tom Carter of Montana. Oliver's Bill is Signed by Gov. Stewart Yesterday Noon. Ekalaka Named TempQrary County Seat of Carter County A telegram was received by W. H. Peck yesterday afternoon from Senator Oliver at Helena announcing that Governor Stew- art had signed the hill creating Carter County which measure passed the House Wednesday. Before acting on the bill it seerns that the House wished to change the name of the new county from \Sykes\ to \Carter\, having a desire to name one county of th€ state in honor of former U. S. Senator Thos. Carter. An agree ment having been . reached or this point the bill passed both . the Senate and House. Just where, when and how tht proposition to create the new county was initiated we are -un- able to say. but we understano that Senator Oliver has beer working on the bill since earb last year. We did not take th( matter seriously until the report began to appear in the Helem , papers. Any ciissention against tht new county is no doubt based or the question of higher - taxes. Certainly, with a smaller county, and less territory to travel, to gether with the minimum salar3 amendment, the people of Carte) county should find their taxt , 4 lower than they are at present The large number of deputies in the county offices, as we nov have should be eliminated in Of new county and we believe that policy will - be adoptea.. For the coming' two years, at least, yvt should save money by the fac . that we already have a g-ood rind bui , (Ii.Ns to Vetus • — the n. , officers. Our taxes sh.)ulii ,„ lower, but even to adinit tha. they will be the same as now. the money we pay will be ex- pended closer to the homes ol the taxpayer. Wedding Bells The marriage of S. J.
