and Boise Basin, particularly, and to the Dem
ocrats of Idaho Territory generally. The
WORID is an established and substantially
Rounded newspaper, the only paper in this, the
richest. the most populous, the best mining,
and most fourishing county in Idaho, and it is
the recognized chief Democratic organ of the
Territory We have now the largest, the most
complete, the finest and best newspaper and
Job printing Office to be found any where
north of California And our new composing,
printing, and editorial rooms, occupying the
whole of the capacious first floor of the large
Masonic Hall, make up certainly one OF the
most commodiOus, hanGsomest, and best ar
ranged printing establishments on the whole
Pacific Coast. In the printing department are
two superior and large Washington presses,
! large and small GOrdOn's machine press, both
| in excellent trim above thirty fonts of wood
| type for jobbing, ranging from the smallest to
the largest sizes, and of the most attractive
and elegant styles; an unusually full stock
of metal card and jobbing type; cabinets of
the neatest and handsomest plain and orna-
mental type of the various sizes; ample fonts
of book and newspaper types; latest patented
card and paper, lead and rule cutters, and
other labor-saving machinery which has been
introduced into the best class of printing Offices
| in late years. With all Of this material and
machinery, entirely new, we are prepared to
execute every description of printing, in as
neat and ornate style as any executed IN the
lnoted printing establishments of San Francisco.
T The expense and care applied in fitting up
so complete and extensive q printing establish
ment in this region have been no immaterlal
items, but we feel justified in mourning the
cost and cheerfully have bestowed the care,
because of an mistaken confidence in the dis
position and intention of the people of Idaho
City and Boise Basin especially, and of our
friends outside of this county, to extend to the
establishment fair and adequate legitimate
support, in the way of job work, advertising
Rand subscription. We have changed from a
Weekly to Semi-Weekly edition because we
think the growth and increased Importance of
this city and Basin will sustain Semi-W eekly
paper; we shall in future make corresponding
advances with the further growth and improve
ments of the city and county as they become
developed.
We expect that our present enterprise will
receive the fair patronage of our own imme-
date section. Really, it will rebound more to
the benefit of the community, than to ourselves
individually, if the paper shall receive the lib
eral support which may be reasonably expect
ed here While we labor for a livelihood
through the means of the paper, the paper
itself produces material and apparent benefits
to the whole community, and the people actu-
ally help themselves in fostering and sustaining
| it, BY means of it the merchant, or artisan
or shop keeper, the business man of any kind
! is enabled to advertise his wares, or his offers
or his wants, to the public, and all are furnish
ed in the earliest and best form with the cur
rent local and general transactions and news
of the day and age. .aa
h 1t is our purpose to devote particular care
sand attention to the mining interests of this
lSection, and to all other actual or possible in
terests which are or may be developed. We
desire to make the WORLD a priced local or
gan and an acceptable newspaper, and to this
end we shall assiduously devote our best en-
deavors 1t shall also be our study to MAN.
tain its past reputation as a useful and faithful
exponent and champion of Democratic princi-
Piles and of the party's cause in every struggle
against the common foe.
Finally, we request all who are favorable to
the support Of a good newspaper in this Sec
ton, to aid us with their word and means in
a regular, legitimate way. tits by advertising
and subscription and job,work the establish
ment must be sustained in usefulness to the
community and with profit to its owners. 1t
is to the good services of friends and the pub
lie that we must frequently look for local in
| telligence, for information upon matters or
events which occur in places about the coun-
try. We hope we shall not count in vain,
neither upon the material support thus briefly
alluded to, nor upon the fayors which can flow
to us in the matter of local news, as just above
suggested. We have embarked upon the en-
terprise of furnishing this public and the De-
mOcracy of Idaho Territory with good news
paper, issued semi-weekly; it remains for them
to determine ifit shall be maintained
