AN UNAPPRECIATIvE MAN.

the fundamental principles or the pO-
sition which he endeavors to fill.
This man is w. w. Booher of the In
DEPENDENT. In last Fridays issue
of that daily God save the mark was
an item giving all credit for the New
Years edition of the Tidings to some
California printer. IL Mr.. Booher
did not know that in giving such
credit he not only created false i'm
preston among the few people who
read the INDEPENDENT. but did not
even adhere to the truth, he has dis
played greater ignorance i'll the art of
journalism than we ever gave him
credit for. For the benefit of those
who may perhaps, be misled by Mr..
Boo hers false criticism, we will say
that the work on every page of that
edition was either ,done or superin
tended in this Office. Even the proofs
of the illustrations were submitted
before they we're permitted to APP
pear.
The offices Of a newspaper are the
upbuilding and development of the
section in which it is published, and
more especially in Nevada
than elsewhere. All move.
ments tending toward advertls
ing our county receives the approba
ton and encouragement of all true,
public spirited citizens. Does this
spirit exist III man who gives credit
to some foreign party for an import
ant enterprise originating in Elko
county?
Again, Elli0 county has Il Board of
Trade who are using all the energies
within their means to bring our al
most cXhaustless resources before The
public. Their means are greatly
diminished by.want of capital, and
the presence of a Judas Iscariut or
two on her Board of Control. This |
paper will use renewed efforts in the |
future to encourage emigration and |
better the condition of orr citizens. |
and as an evidence of our good faith |
we will publish all calls for regular or |
special meetings of the Board of |
Trade, or Board of Control, and other |
matter of public interest which they |
may send us free of all charge
Weekly Tidings.
Now, we like that and hope the ed
itor of the Weekly Tidings will enjoy
this:
Elko has.among her citizens min
lister (?) who does not understand the |
fundamental principles of the teach
ings of the lowly Nazarene he pre-
tends to follow. This man is Rev.
NJ. 5. Riddle, pastor Of the Presbyter
ian church, God save the markD who
in the last issue Of the Weekly Tidings |
gave w. w. Booher, editor Of the In
DEPENDENT. hell. If Mr.. Riddle did |
not know that in the above article he |
was wilfulling lying he not only ere
ated false impression among the |
millions who read the Tidings, but |
has displayed less plety and more
cussedness than we ever gave him
credit for. For the benefit of those
who may perhaps, be misled 10y Mr..
Riddles deliberate lies we will say
again that the New Years edition of
the Weekly Tidings was printed in
San Francisco and that It's makeup
reflects the skill of the California
printer, and we challenge the Rev.
Riddle to successfully deny it.
In order that the people may know
what caused Rev. Riudlc's personal
attack on the editor of this paper we
re.publish our comment on the New
Years edition of the Weekly Tidings.
1t is us follows:
"The New Years edition of the
Weekly Things, printed in San Fran.
cisco, is out and presents very cred.
liable appearance. The pictures and
cuts are fair specimens of newspaper
work and it's general makeup reflects
the skill of the California printer. It
