Why Carson has Become Sort Of Jour
Dalistic Cemetery.
The Enterprise of yesterday morning
abiding to the demise of the Times
says:
The publisher made the fatal
mistake of venturing his little capital
and risking his credit in field where
all the conditions of success were
against him. Even had he entered
'the arena of CarsOn's paper knights
with unlimited capital, unembarrassed
by the clutches of an octopus in the
! shape of lein upon his printing ma
| terial, the odds were against him. Car
son City, with an intelligent population
OF 1000 is not very promising field for
even one newspaper. There were two
old established ones there when Niles
launched his frail craft. Their readers
had probably little to complain of as to
the character OF the service rendered to
them. One of these papers had dis
played its enterprise by paying for the
regular telegraphic news dispatches for
a while. The experiment did not meet
with remunerative encouragement, and
was abandoned. This circumstance alone
was sufficient to determine the fact that
the people of Carson were not pre-
pared to adequately support even one
live daily journal. Hence the chances
for decent existence for two or three
newspapers in that town were obviously
diminished.
There are many assertions in the
above which will bear considerable re-
modelling. The idea that Carson will
not support good daily paper is erron-
enous. 1t has supported two papers
for many years. The proprietors did
not roll Gin purple and fine llnen' or
"fare sumptuously every day." but there
was no reason to complain. Two Pa
pers are quite enough for Carson. The
Times was not started because there
was any need of another paper, but be-
cause its publisher believed that it
would be no trouble to crowd some
other paper out of the field. 1t began
as morning paper in opposition to the
APPEAL. After a few weeks trial the
publisher became convinced that his |
would not pay. The Times
then became an evening paper in oppo-
,ition to the Tribune. 1t enlarged and |
made hard and enterprising fight for
The supremacy. In such struggles tn e
1ew man is at a disadvantage. 1t is
ike trying to pull man off a horse
who is firmly seated in the saddle. The
nan on the horse has nine points out of
EN- in his favor. There is just about |
so much money in Carson that people
ire willing to expend in newspaper pat
onage. If new paper starts it simply
livides up this amount and cripples the
,thers. 1t is not matter Of surpri Sc
hat business men declined to pay trib-
lite to four papers. 1t is simply an inn
POSITION to ask storekeeper to adver-
Use beyond the point where he reaps
my benefit from so doing. No man is
1nder the slightest obligations to sub
cribe for a newspaper or to advertise
n it, if he does not think he is getting
MD pro quo. There is room for but
me first class paper in Carson, a paper
which could afford to employ good
taft and take the teiegraphic dispatches
o that the news of the world could be
cad before the Virginia papers reach
he city. 1t is idle to suppose that such
will be the case. There will always be
me morning and one evening paper in
larson and third paper will be gen.
rally looked upon as superfuous.
Half a dozen newspapers have died
n Carson and that more will start and
lie is not improbable.
