BULLETIN IS OFF
Silver State VIII 60 1t Alone
After January lst-Rate
l5C a Week, Straight

For some time there has been in
effect a club rate which gave the DALI
Silver state and the daily san Fran
cisco Bulletin to city subscribers, de
livered bv carrier. for the sum Of q
cents a week. This arrangement has
been declared of at the request of the
Savar state. ard after Friday, Jan
nary I. 1901. this paper will have no
arrareement or understanding with
fre Bulletin. and VII not furnish the
Bulletin to any subscriber. new Or
old. on the date named the local
agency for the Bulletin will pass into
the hands of Mr.. Carl Hoyt, who vii
supply papers to new and old sub
scribers with regularity and prompt
ness. All present subscribers to tn
Bulletin will be presented with 3 bill
up to the end OF December on the last
day of this month, the amount Of
which viii be due and owing to I'll
Silver State.
There ara several reasons for this
papers wanting to discontinue the
combine. In the first place, it is MOI
necessary; the arrangement was mad
before the present ownership or man
agerneut had anything to do with the
paper, and when there was from one
fifth to one-third the amount of news
in the Silver state that is now be ne
published. The people who subscrib-
el and paid for the news a TO b
given something for their money, ane
the only way to do it vas to give
them another i'm club rate at a price

pany, by the expenditure Of a great
deal of money, and its employees, by
hard work, nave brought the paper
up to a point of excellence as q HON,
newspaper that makes ii acceptabl
OF itself at the price charged, and ID
prefers TO stand on its own merits
in IT'S own field, rather than be given
as a premium OF an inducement to
the people 10 take some city paper.
Another reason-and one of the
main ones-for declaring the arrange
menl OH Is the ~irreguIarILy and IN
reliability Of the Southern Pacific
trains. The Bulletins come on No. b,
first section. once in a while this
tram is on time. but more often It
ism [. II the train is late, then either
the subscribers to the Silver State
ger their paper late, or the carriers
are compelled to make two trips,
necessItatIng extra work and ca
pcnse. The Silver State goes to press
every day at 4 o'clock, closing tbs
forms at $3.50. This is done in order
that our subscribers wno get their pa
pei delivered Dy carrier may receive
ii early in the vening, at d time when
they can read 1t ana enjoy it.
Then, again, Tns Silver state, while
it is Republican in politics, accolds
cAeerfuHy and willingly to every man
the right 10 read and believe as he
sees Mt. we do not want To force eitseI
this or any other paper upon anyone.
II while we believe that the Bulle-
tin is The best pape published in san
Francisco, ana, Icing an evening pa
pei, is the best and most ~acceptaDIe
to the majority OF people in Winnie
mucca wAo subscribe Ior and rea4
the city papeIs, yet We admit tina
some have a prefsience for a Demo
cIauc paper. and II it were in od.
power, II would be n is farthes.
from our intentions 10 compel gu
subscribers 10 take any other in order
TO get the home news.
Il IS q mister OIL p.lde to the pub
fishers Of The Silver state hat it ~
able te stand on it, own merits, and
tina the people Of Humboldt county
look upon il as worth the money they
pay for il.
Another reason for the change 10
that the combination made a great
deal of extra work and bother in keep
ing accounts; in view Of the fact that
our outside business is increasing rap
ialy. having more than doubled since
M asummer, our -bookkeeper has his
hands full as il is. A great many nave
insisted on paying monthly. although
the carrier proposition is a weekly
one. and the majority Of u sub
scribafs have paid by the week. In
The future all must do so. To all sub
sgribers living in town, n receiving
the paper ~ carrier the price Of the
SILVER state viii be Is cents per week.
