Show A Reply to .''Hard Picking" treatment is enough to drive a roan to drink something stronger than i "Postum." But we are pleased the campaign was the most successful I ever held in Bingham Canyon. Last week the Editor of the "Press-Bulletin" "Press-Bulletin" came out with one of the most lamentable stories it has ever been our priviledge to read, and was inclined to blame his friendly enemies for the manifold miseries of which he wrote. He says its been hard picking for him in Bingham Canyon. We don't see why it shouldn't be after the hard pecking he has done since taking tak-ing up his abode in this canyon of I which he is so dearly fond. Its really I too bad the way his friendly enemies j have two-timed him, razzed him andj handed him the lemon until he called , for the calf rope. j He berated his enemies with what one might term owlish proclivities , stating they work in the dark, also they are devoid of that element known as nerves, which prompts a man to scrap in the open. It is a cinch he was not thinking of us when j he wrote that horrible "wail," because we have always addressed him as we would a mule, to his face, or sometimes some-times in these columns we have given him a kindly word openly, and in broad daylight, and he has admitted it has been good advertisement for him. He questioned the neutrality of the county officers, and from the way he writes one, would imagine he intends severing relations with them. He intimates they have meddled in his business to his hurt, perhaps forgetful forget-ful of all the nice things he has written writ-ten about them. We have taken raps at the county officials ,and at one time was supposed to have given them cause for a law suit, but on the other hand we have had occasion to praise them for worthy deeds. A few weeks after the present owner? publisher? and manager? started operating here admitted he had 500 subscribers to his paper, yet today we are told the new campaign raised the list to 1000K then why call a 500 raise a huge success? suc-cess? When any man owes sums of money he naturally will be bothered with his creditors, so why pretent in-nocense. in-nocense. Creditors are terrible things, they are like corporations, they have no souls. They have no sympathy for the "roughsledding" of the poor, dejected de-jected and downtrodden debtor, and they even have the audacity to invade the sanctum sanctorum of an editor and the minion of the law are pitiless in the discharge of their duties.
