neither side of the question is opinion
confined to any party Members of

an extra session seems to meet with a
larger share of favor among the pop

Pocatello Tribune.
Next week we will be forced to take a
step which we knew would be inevitable
from the moment of the failure. Loss of
advertising, cutting on the part of other
advertisers, hard times, NEGLIGENCE of many
debtors to settle when able and general
all around scare, has reduced our income
until it has become necessary to reduce the
size of the paper. We know that this
hurts the community more than half a
dozen failures, but we are unable TO stay
the rush of fate and are forced TO that
against which our soul revolts. Weiser
SIGNAL.
The above clipped from the Weiser
SIGNAL is today the rule rather than the
exception in Idaho newspaperdom. The
columns OF our exchanges tell one con-
tinuous hard luck story. Some papers
have died and very many indeed have
dropped from two to four pages or from
five to ten columns of choice reading mat
ter. There is but one daily in the state,
and that, too, has been reduced to about
half its former size. Walls of woe and
signals Of distress are almost as numerous
as the papers Of our state. We can recall
but two or three Of the number that even
where they had not made any reduction in
acreage, do not bear the indelible stamp
of 1.-THE times that try mems souls" There
are however, a few bright spots. A new
paper, well printed and carefully edited,
filled with 'the breezes of the joyus dawn
that blow free in the silken sails of in
fancy" came to our table, causing fear
full rustling among the ''dry bones. that
have so long lain there undisturbed. And
again a few days ago an Idaho editor got
married God bless him-all editors ought
to be married and it takes courage to do
that sort Of thing. We take notice, how
ever, that newspaper squib recently
credited that same PAPER with making a
fortune for an ex-editor who has died
since, we presume from surprise. Against
these two beacons of hope stand the facts
that the moan Of the Signal is only one of
a dozen we have seen this week. that one
paper drifted in printed only on one side;
that week by week the amount of reading
matter III the Idaho weekles is nearer and
nearer to that infinitisimal limit that graces
the columns of one Of the alleged dalies
/ from the Wood river; that southern edi-
tor is reported TO have snealxed his press
out of town between two days and himself
! fed, rather than face an irate landlady.
| These are the times we live in. Sad and
true, as the SIGNAL says.

The Weiser SIGNAL one OF the brightest
OF our Idaho exchanges, published in the
county seat of Washington, a county claim

large tracts Of the finest agricultural lands

WEIsER SIGNAL.
Right you are, Mr.. Editor; this step will
prove severe blow to Weiser and in fact
to Washington county. II is true that the
paper is ahead of the town, but it should
be; newspaper should always assume the
leading role in the great play of advance
ment upon this busy stage of action and
the failure of the citizens of Weiser to keep
theISIGNAL up to its present excellent stand
ard. will cast sad reflection on the town.
