HA1LEY'S DEPOT.
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE AGAIN
MALlGNS HALEY.
An Ungrateful Journal Wrongs Its
Friends or Puts an ASS in Charge.


Friends or Puts an ASS in Charge.
That the Salt Lake Tribune's COL
lector Of "The News of our Neigh
bors" is an ass, has been known for
some time. Hear him again:
HALEY is expecting the erection of
a new depot building there, because
U. p. official gave a newspaper re.
porter there taffy to that effect.
The U. P. officials, not U. P. of
fetal, who told the TIMES that de-
pot would be built at HALEY at
suitable place and within a reasonable
time, are not given to "taffy." They
are of those men at whose outer Office
door such collectors of news of. our
neighbors as the employee of the Trib-
une, would have to wait, hat in hand,
for an item.
The progressive, wide-gauge and
business people of Haley, and the
country tributary to it, are unanimous
in their wish and hope that the rail
road company will afford, at their
earliest convenience, depot facilities
commensurate with the needs of the
community, and in keeping with the
rapid growth of the seat of Alturas
county.
AS a business proposition it is nat
ural, that the owners of real estate in
different parts of the town and the
additions thereto, should desire to see
the depot located upon or near their
property. The railroad people are
we'll aware that depot at Haley will
be built, and, naturally enough, the
company will probably build it where
it will most benefit themselves ant
their friends. The same species o.
selfishness that would prompt pri
vate citizen to secure the location O
an enterprise at such point as would
enhance the value of his property
will doubtless actuate the railroad
4 company in the location of the depot
But that the statement of two of tn,
most thorough and responsible of tn,
high executive officials of the grea
e U. P. system, made in serious reply t.
an earnest question, is "taffy", is
statement that even SO common al
: item picker as the Tribune's shouls
n hesitate to make. The Tribune ha
: better put that fellow back to sweep
/. ing the office.
While on this subject, anothe
IS thing. The TINES has no objectio
IS to the contradiction and discussion c
If every proposition it advances; but
- holds that the habit into which repu
r able papers like the Tribune hav
o lately fallen, of misquoting its asset
tons and misstating its statements,
S, unjournalistic, if not dishonorable.
r, The TIMES has kept quiet, althoug
Is aware of the injustices here con
= planned of, because 1t knew that Il
he accomplished editor of the Tribul
IS, was absent from his Territory, ar
Id believed that upon his return, h
mere presence would check the hea'
y long and careless course of those vi
re- have recently disgraced his paper,
,rt his observation of these injustic
is would at once cause them to cea:
SIS The TINES is advised that that &c
~ tleman has returned to his home.
The Wood River country and
NJ people can live without the TribuI

he people of this section, who liberia
re, patronize that paper, inexplicat
ent except upon the theory that, while

~ The TIMES will watch to see If
as Tribune will cease to do it and
les, people of its section injustice.
