REPLY:

This confuses me.
I believe that the state of Idaho has a county named Idaho with a Salmon 
River running through it.
The federal timezone law stipulates that south of this river Mountain Time 
is in effect, north of it Pacific Time.
There are only a couple of places in the southern part of Idaho county, and 
Burgdorf and Warren are indeed two of them.
Why don't we stay with the legal description, stating north/south of Salmon 
River?

Regarding Malheur county in Oregon: you could add: the _northern_ part of 
Malheur county.
