2e YEARS OLD.

With this issue the Messenger
has been issued regularly for %
years in Custer county. 1t is
one of the Oldest established
newspapers in Idaho. 1t first
saw light in Challis during the
year 1881, when Challis was a
town of but few years of age,
and has been identified with the
progress of Custer county ever
since that time, and always ad-
vocated progression for our town
and county. At times we have
been discouraged and felt like
giving up the fight. But we
have held on, knowing that this
county is one of best and richest
natural resources in the West.
But it has not progressed like
other counties, for the reason
that it has no railroad to tap it's
its rich mineral products and put
the wheels of progress in motion.
For 30 years the Short Line has
promised us a railroad to Sal
mon river, but it never came.
Instead has been charging two
prices for freights, and this big
section has been in the grasp of
the Short Line, which road has
reaped from the county's prod
ducts, but in return has never
done anything to develop the
county, and consequently that
road has few friends in this Sec
tion, for the Short Line has and
is responsible for the slow pro-
gress in this county. When the
Short Line is forced to Salmon
river by some other road, it will
build and not until. This is
the history of that road.
With this issue the Messenger
starts upon volume 30. Most of
the time for the past % years the
Messenger has been a Democrat
ic newspaper, advocating party
and party men-right or wrong
just for the party's sake-fol
that's about all we ever got out
it. A party that will not stay by
it's friends is not party to tie to-
So commencing on this new vol
ume we think it is an appropriate
time to throw off party shackles
and announce that in the future
that the Messenger will be tiet
to no party, but will be indepen
dent in politics. There is 81
much good in all parties and 81
much that is bad that by remain
ing independent we may be able
to endorse the good and condemn
the bad, thereby rendering The
community a greater service thar
by agitatiDg party candidates re
gardless of character, qualifica
tiOn and general fitness. w,
will be unrestrained in condemn
ing the rOtteneSs that has char
acterized past campaigns, regard
