N'lutever they may have been good or bid they have been our own, free and untiam- j moiled. Our paper is independent, because it speaks tho Tiews and feeliu.es of the men who'O names appear at the' head of this column. Twieo durin.e tho past year we have been compelled to enlarge our sheet, caused by the demands de-mands made upon our columns by advertising ad-vertising patronise. While these enlargements en-largements have given an increased amount of reading matter to nir patrons pat-rons and entailed heavy a hlition d expense ex-pense upon us, we have maJo uo advance ad-vance in the price of our paper, so that whether or not the llKitAl.u is the best newspaper published in the Kocky Mountain region, as some of itliionds a.vserl, it eertaiuly is the cheapest. It is needless to recapitulate what we have done in the past; our course is before the public, they can .iudirc. We have Mid and dme what we considered to be rieht, jut aud true, and this we intend to do in the future.

Thaukiug our friends, and nut forgetting for-getting our foes, we close our volume, vol-ume, satisfied that our hilars have boon acceptable to our readers, with the promise to them that our highest aim in future will be to render the Hkralp a necessity iu even- household. |
