The Courier says that newspapers
have more to do in bringing investment
money into any country than all other
causes combined. There are plenty of
people who owe their very existence to
this very money which the newspapers
are instrumer tai in bringing in who rid
icule the very idea Of helping to keep up
newspapers, holding that it is Of no ben
eft to them, because, forsooth, the news
paper man does not place the dollar di-
rectly in their hands. Such people
should be forced, if possible, to live in a
newspaperless town until they are suf-
icienty starved out. which they would
be. to be glad to pay handsome bonus

The celebration OF the Fourth OF July
in Battle Mountain next Monday PROM
ises to be grand affair. The people in
general have manifested real interest
in having good old time celebration.
They have done this both by their gifts
and willingness to aid in whatever way
they can to make it success.
By glanciog over the program you will
see that 1t must be very busy day and
that prompt action will be necessary in
order to carry out the program, and the
committees IN charge OF the different
sports will arrange each sport as quickly
az possible no that no time will be lost
between sports. 1t is said that a num-
ber Of vuqucros will come down from
Austin with horses to participate in the
days races.
There will probably be exercises held
in Lemaires halfat 10 o'clock.
At O'Clock sharp the afternoon
amusements will begin and everybody
should be on hand.

sunrise until the last tired dancer who

make it point to be on hand early with
determination to stay to the end.
The fireworks in the evening on Main

during which time the sky will be ablazs

There will be large delegation OF
Austin people on hand to help us cele-
