1.-THE newspaper publishers of north Idaho should
organize There about so papers in the 10
counties of the Panhandle. The majority of these
publishers meet at some central point by five or
six hours travel and at slight for transportation
Brother Scott also points out the added duties and
responsibilities placed the press by the war, and
the everncreasng cost in performing its functions
He feels that by organizing the publishers better
perform the duties they to the public and their

their interests to extent at least
