Of his subscribers knows how to spell "cat"
they have no fault to find with his news
paper.
The Little Valley Star reached us with
a new hcad last week. The one 1t has used
for the past two years was cut off the end
OF u saw log, while the new one has been
carved out of plank. 1t is an improve
ment, however, and we are pleased to
chronicle the fact. When we were over at
Little Valley few weeks ago, Mr.. John
son, the editor and proprietor Of The Star,
had Just purchased an acre of ground tc
establish private graveyard, and no as
sured us that he had at least six vic-
Tins marked down for slaughter. On
that same day, an hour after we left, q
man entered his office with only club for
a weapon and drove Mr.. johnson under
tho editorial table and made him beg for
his life He may pick up, however, and
Tho Star may yet become the leading fam
lily paper of the world, as he predicts. We
shall at least say nothing to discourage
him.
The Rocky River Journal Of last week
referred to us on its alleged editorial page
as wiper" coward, " s'office seeker"
william" and several other things. Tho
Journal is four pnge weekly paper pub
lished by o man named Otis. AS most of
Its issues have been printed on cheese
press, with molasses and lampblack as a
substitute for ink, we have never been
able to read except an occasional line hers
and there. Some two years ago Mr. Otis
was driven out Of New Mexico into Utah.
They shot him out of Utah into Montana,
and the Montana people kept him hanging
at the end Of ripe until he agreed to leave
for Arizona We had something to say
about these thugs few weeks ago, not
knowing that this Otis was the Otis refer
red to. and of course he feels like getting
even. Well, wp are not saying anything.
Some day we shall meet Mr.. Otis and take
him by the ear and demand an apology,
but thore is no hurry about 1t.
The Gila River Chronicle resumed pub
lication last week after suspension Of
four weeks. The Chronicle Is the sort Of
paper to own and publish. II 1t suspends
publication, no one misses 1t. II 1t runs
right along for two or three months with
out break, all the boys drop In to tell Bill
jackson that he Is working himself to
death and ought to take at least six weeks
vacation. All the political articles are
cut from the San Francisco papers and
all the local articles from Cincinnati ex
change. We gave William the stercotypes
for the seven columns Of dead ads. he has
been running for the last year, and now
and then VIC send him up the picture Of a
coal baron. an anarchist or q statesman
and he passes 1t off on his subscribers for
Captain Kidd or Christopher Columbus
There was rumor nfloat that The Chron-
icle had an income Of $64 in eight months,
but Bill personally assured us fortnight
ago that the sum was less than $40. He
sleeps on the floor of the office, lives most
ly on roots and barks and the buckskin
suit he wears was IL years old last Decem-
Der. Some day In the far distant future,
when The Chronicle man can get "a or s.
In cash ut ono Time he Is going to pack up
and look for another young and growing
town, but until then he will continue to
issue whenever he feels like 1t and trust
In Providence that the wooden legs under
his press won't give way on the down hill
side.
We are in receipt of the first issue Of a
new weekly paper called The Great West,
