NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT
GIVE THIS MAN THE "BOOBY" PRIZE.
W. c. Black, Editor

1AST week. Herald, which by the way circulates among
~ the mining public under another caption, CONTAINED
H&&J an inference that the editor of the Churchill Standard
has been a party to a piece of socaned dirty work, i'll which the
proprietor OF the paper mentioned claims to have suffered untold
mental anguish, i'll addition to much pecuniary loss. We Wlsh al
this time to enter a denial to any such an assertion. If Emerson III
his profound wisdom can prove that we have injured him III an IN
ethical or illegitimate manner, we will give everything w have III
the world to charity. Personal feeling between the editor OF this
paper and Emerson is such that it will not allow OF any discussion,
because it would inevitably result in feeling still more bitter,
which could become partisan and involve the constituencies OF the
two papers.
We learned early in our newspaper experience that the public
cares nothing for personal troubles, and to burden the columns OF
a paper with imaginary grievances is only to excite criticism and
fun-making. A newspaper should be merely what its name I'M
plies, and any effort outside of newsgiving is abortion. The
newspaper man who uses the columns of his paper for mud
singing is as contemplate as the medical malpractitioner, tbs
shyster lawyer and insincere preacher.
In the future, If the owner OF the Herald has any personal
matter that needs adjustment, he can see the writer personality
for with the realization that the public cares nothing for such
things, we shall refrain from being drawn into print again upon
any topic, save that in which the welfare of the community is
concerned.

proudly, yet modestly, riding along
amidst the declamations OF the poplace,
like Caeser of old, bowling here and

local aspirants to leadership. "A

A GREAT many inquiries are reaching the government offices
in Hazen and Falon from prospective settlers regarding the
lands embraced by the Truckee- Carson project. These letters all
demand answers that will embody a full and concise treatise upon
the project and its opportunities. Mr.. Thomas II. Means, en-
gineer in charge of the department of operation and maintenance,
is willing to prepare the data for a pamphlet containing the in
formation desired by settlers, if the local business interests can
be induced to subscribe the funds necessary to defray the cost OF
printing. The matter of getting settlers i'll this project-the
kind who will make successes-is one of vital interest to every
business man in the county, and any enterprise that has for its
object the pment of the section should be literally sub

NEVER in the history o ffraternal societies has their worth
been so we'll demonstrated as it was by the recent disaster IN San
Francisco. They have entered into the situation very largely as
alternating factors working unsehshly in reducing the misery and
suffering now extant in the bay city. Millions OF dollars have
found their way unheralded into the Golfers of the city. Pity the
cvnic who can see no good in fraternal work, for it is indeed
founded upon the noblest of impulses, and is pregnant with good
results. Nearly one thousand dollars was sent from Fallon by
the Masons. Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias.

THIS week has been one continuous holiday on paper merely,
for the governors proclamation proclaiming it has been com
pletely ignored by the financial interests. The closing OF the
banks during last week amply demonstrated the need OF banking
institutions, and it was the hardship inflicted by a lack OF bank
ing facilities and resultant complaints from the public that
prompted the bankers to turn down the governors good Offices.
1t certainly was not done through any spirit of malice, Tor the
extra holiday season was proclaimed simply as a protection to
the monied interests.
