The CdMds Prairie CUuttse.

"After long and mature delibera-
ton" the new proprietors of the
Gold Miner have named it "The
Camas Prairie Cayuse." Its initial
issue under the new management
appeared last Friday, and contain
ed much interesting matter des-
criptive of Camas Prairie and Ida
no county. This is harp of one
string which has been so repeated
ly played on by SO many perform
ers that it is difficult matter to
say anything about Camas Prairie
which has not been already said,
and sung and printed over and
over and over again in the past
twenty years. But Messrs. Rug
giles and Goodell are fresh from the
h;gh-pressure civilization of Wis
consin and having found the coun-
try to their liking they have con-
cluded to locate among us and go
into the newspaper business. They
view the country through eastern
optics, and wish other eastern peO-
pie to view the situation through
the same spectacles. In politics
the "Cayuse" is to be independent
but not neutral. In sticking to
this policy they will find their
best reward. Political papers are
public nuisances which create dis
cord in communities where har-
mony is essential to prosperity and
progress. To our new co-laborers
in the more or less fruitful vine
yard of newspaper enterprise in
Idaho county we extend the right
hand of fraternal fellowship and
wish them a pleasant trip upon
the hurricane deck of their "Camas
Prairie Cayuse" to the haven Of
prosperity.
