How much does the Avalanche receive, per
annum, for playing second fiddle for the
Statesman? When the Statesman patted the
Governor on the back, the Avalanche shouted
hurrab when the Statesman turned the cold
shoulder on him, the Avalanche screwed
around its back; when the Statesman swore
that the Territorial officials were immaculate
in their honesty, the Avalanche looked up
its Bible aud swose also when Secretary
Gibson took the Legislative printing to San
Francisco, the Statesman suddenly discov-
cred that he was consunmats rascal, who
had run away with the Congressional appro-
priations--and lo the Avalanche, the next
week, saw the same transaction; when the
Statesman assaulted the Legislature because

pay no attention to its clamoring, the Ava
lanche raised its war shout over in Owyhee ;
when it was fashionable for the Boise paper
to- amuse itself by malignfng and abusing
Boise County, the Avalanche sought relief in
the same amusement.

the small business of retailing such care.
