OF interest 20 ourselves, because on the
iaifd saturday in June, 1906, we took
eharee q this office and today marks
the passing Of exactly one year of our
work Our agreement with the Winnie
mneea Publishing company in matters
connected with the SRSer state ex
tended over period of eighteen
months. out the party of the first part
reserved the right to dispose Of the
per at any time within the life If
IN agreement. While the Winnemucea
Fublishing company, strictly speaking,
are not disposing of the paper-tla
iaets Of the sale by the sheriff on next
Monday being quite widely known
yet the sale is al the behest Of the
members Of the company with whom
we have dealt and who represented the
company on all occasions.
That the future of this pap r will
BE- different from the past is certain.
NO matter who the purchasers are to
be Il IS quite certain that a new order
of business will b. installed Should

Aud 50 this issue Of the paper pre-
sentY a matter for the passive spceu-
latF If the readers as ia whom the
ners owners are 10 he and the condi-
tions under which the new paper is to
b published To us it is an occasion
when we look back over the vear that
has flown with some sentiment. We
recall tho plans we had made Cor Che
Daily Silver State and vie think of
the successes and failures that re-
suited IRON those plans We look AT
the present condition of the paper and
parallel it with he standing year
ago In an this consideration one fact
stands out like the MONDAY sun and
that is that our successes and our fail
ur, have been our own. True we met
many discouraging circumstances, but
what we failed TO accomplish was due
to our own lack of tact or experience
what we accomplished was due to oui
own merit. We arc somewhat down
east on tbs occasion AID set we az
proud We gai ed 10 build as high al
we intended. thou Ii we succeeded ii
building sore We I'D not succeed ia
making six co,urn daily pepcr TAX
ing the Associat press news report
and filing a field which we believed
existed. We did succeed in putting a
proposition that was loosing money
hand over hand every day, on its feet.
W were defeated over certain primer
pies we fought for, but are proud that
those principles were ours, and that
we fought for them We spent yea
in the hardest kind Of toll in all de
paftmerts of the printing business
from running a gasoline engine to the
writing of editorials at small remun-
eration, but we acquired experience
th Il is worth more than gold.
But the time is now at hand to close
the record for year. We take ad-
vantage Of the closing to publicly
thank our friends for their kindly help
Financially and otherwise and to pub
Idly express our appreciation of the
aptness Of those whose ideas and views
have clashcd with ours
