the sanctum ="
temporary, the News. and II Is almost
,,o,s IN witness the antics OF it's
mar In attempting to justify his
Hay in the past toward the settlers
~ ,he tract. as he gieefuiiy chuck'
'.s ~ himself that the Times Is no"
u.,d,g in his footsteps. John
.oyas 10 get somewhat witty at
Zines and couple OF weeks ago he
Nod good time all TO himself ana
tho EXPENSE OF the editor OF the
ale and some OF the other settlers
on the tract by attempting to snuggle
ham in bed with him. Now the few
.ho happened 10 peruse his enort
.Ao,yht # good Joke and 80 passed
- ant our friend Johnny seems
~ have been attacked with one OF
n,s serious spells last week. and thus
snoils the whole joke.
Now. John. perhaps there has been
little snggling done by some, but
w. do not plead guilty TO any OF 1t.
hut II you want to get in out OF the
rst We cannot blame you. AS you
must surely be aware OF the fact that
,hsre has been general house clean
,ry and that the soiled linen which
vou have cherished for the past five
years has been washed clean OF all
rs taints. and II you chose 10 snug
Gle into this clean linen together
with the rest OF the settlers. We VIII
welcome you and promise TO see that
YOU are not robbed OF all the xiv
ers" but as TO the company collar
John. you have worn 1t SO long. and
/, fits you too we'll to part with It.
and We are not seeking to share II
With you.
The News. In one of it's hallucina-
tory spells. seems to imagine that the
Times has forsaken its love for the
settler and has gone body and soul
over TO the enemy. whoever that may
be. Under the new management. the
Times has no enemy TO punish and
does not draw any line as between
company and settler. AS We feel that
we are all now one happy family
while We may differ among ourselves
We believe the aim OF each Is the up
building and the best interests Of IN,
tract. and no charge should be mad,
that this one or that one II Il com
pany or anti-company man Shout,
the time come when II Is neccssar,
to draw that line. the Times will be-
found on the side OF what II consid
srs right and justice TO the best In
terests OF all VIII the News plcdg
as much
In spending his sleepless nights Il
preparing the article that appeare'
las, week. Johns mind must hav
reverted back TO the time and unde
the conditions that he was brough
here from some remote point In Colo

company who were inviting peopl

has he yielded to the dictations give
him. going so far as to deny n settl,
even the right OF being hear
through his columns. which was IN
direct cause OF having the Times q
tablshed here.
Far different from this was our a
rival In town. John. as we came I'm

expense Of paying our fare from Oh
