extended north to the oregon now idalio idaho line at that time dox box elder county was organized the point of division between it ind and weber co was fixed at the hot springs naturally one would suppose the boundary line between the two counties would be directly west ditora aiom this point to nevada line cutting across the promontory and both arms ot of great ait lq I 1 alake lut political leaders of weber would flor sta stand alfr rot for such a division and refused to accept ot of that part of the promontory west of weber county and that part of tile the great greal american desert west of sald said county ind and west of the lake so in that region the north boun boundary daty of box elder county became one and the samo same and so continued tor for nearly forty years ears legislatures converted convened and dissolved the location of the state territorial capital was wa changed the name of great salt lake city was changed but lie legislator ever thought of alto curie cune in the south boundas boundary y line of box elder county until 1901 when the lucin cutoff cut off was building the act first mentioned in your article was introduced in the legislature which had
