Idaho Legislature considers annexing part of Owyhee to Canyon
A bill by Messia Seawell Ballantyne and Whiffin proposes annexing a portion of Owyhee County to Canyon County Idaho. The measure would submit the change to a territorial vote in 1908 and detail apportionment of indebtedness and county property including roads and bridges. It directs appointed accountants to compute intercounty balances and transfer funds accordingly and to transcribe Owyhee records to Canyon.
