Oregon Bills Create Knox and Wise Coal Counties
Articles in the Eleventh Regular Session introduce H B No 64 to form Knox county from Umatilla territory with Milton as temporary seat and set salaries for county officers. A separate measure H B No 52 seeks to divide Umatilla into Wise and Coal counties with Heppner as a fixed seat, outlining officer appointments, salaries, and fiscal arrangements. Both acts prescribe timelines for elections and intercounty indebtedness, and specify transition duties for clerks and treasurers.
