The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1894-06-14

dens and most Of the fruit have been
practically destroyed, and together
with the work of the crickets it does
appear that the visitation of both
combined will produce a shortage cal
culated to discourage the farmers of
Salubrla valley.
During the past week Salubria has
been visited by a number of persons
from other localities, among whom
were "Ye Editor" of the SIGNAL, in
company with our affable and very
much esteemed friend Mr.. II. G.
Newman. We presume they were
here in the interest of the SIGNAL.
And just here permit us to say that
the SIGNAL is truly among the most
enterprising county papers in the state
and certainly deserves the support of
all classes Of citizens who have pride
enough about them to see the county
represented by an able, enterprising
newspaper This is not said by way
OF flattery to the editor, but is the
honest conviction Of one who desires
to see the vast resources of Washing
ton county developed, together with
ia sense of patriotic sentiment toward
any enterprise which Is calculated to
advance the interest of the county in
which we have our home. Again we
remark that the SIGNAL more than
deserves the sympathy and support
of the people of the county Mr.. A.
Morrison, OF Council, was also among
the visitors OF Salubria during the
week Our people always have
warm welcome for this venerable gen
tleman whenever he may find it con.
venient to favor us with his presence,
and we rejoice to know, that after an
illness of nine or ten months, the re-
suit of an injury received by falling
from fence at that time, he is again
able to be cut, even though it is by
the aid Of crutches.
Salubria will celebrate the glorious
Fourth in a style belitting the day,
and by demonstration upon that great
national day, show to the world that
the loyal and patriotic fires within the
hearts Of the people burn as brightly
as in days that are past This is as
it should be. Upon that day the PEG
pie come together with a common
sentiment Past Differences are for
gotten and forgiven. a reunion of
patriotic hearts are made To beat with
a quickened pulsaiion, and the youn-
ger portion of the community are
taught lessons of patriotism and pride
OF country, which, in time of necess-
ity, will inspire them with a love and
voneration for the starry flag which
would cause them to go forth in de-
fence of the honor and glory Of the
country. Everybody is invited most
cordially to come to Salubria on the
Fourth, and we promise you an en-
joyable time
Our local paper, the Citizen, has
recently changed hands, Rev. Elton
retiring and Messrs. Robertson and
Hunt assuming control. We are in
formed by the Salutatory which ap-
peared in last weeks issue, that the
paper will in the future, be devoted
to the political interests of the Peo-
pies party. This is the first time in
the history of Washington county
that local newspaper has come out
boldly and declared itself strictly
party paper. Some doubt the wisdom
of this declaration of the new propri-
etors of the Citizen, while others ap-
plaud the movement. The writer, at
least hopes that the new managers
will learn wisdom by experience, and
can assure the gentlemen that so far
as relates to the publication of
county newspaper, in community
like this, that ''all Is not gold that
glitters. However, the writer hopes
that they may make success of the
paper, and may be able to make it a
"mighty engine for good in this
community. The retiring editor,
Rev. Elton, during his connection
with the paper, we believe has at all
times been true to his convictions and
if it has so happened that any have
taken offence, we do not think that
offence was intended by Mr.. Elton.
We wish him and his family health
and prosperity and trust that they will
long remain citizens of Salubria, for
we only reflect the sentiment of the
entire community when we extend to
him and his most estimable family
