Show .....' " - - t 7 1 ' 1 1 Bingham the Old Reliable -A Good Town Bingham 13 a good town to live in, despite the fact that the self -styled OWNER of the Press-Bulletin has " . continously knocked the camp and its people since he took charge of that publication. His first slam was u ' , entitled "Why a barb wire fence" and was directed at ' ' . " a party' because they " protected one of the delights ' of the people of Bingham in the summer-time a flower flow-er garden, and since that time he has incessantly - knocked, conditions - from- the laundry up. Bingham - is not only the greatest mining camp in the world but it is one of the best towns from every point of view. f p.. The thing that makes it a good town to live in is the 'people who have migrated here from the four , corners of the earth, in fact they might be called the ' - - salt of the earth, as a rule they work for the better- " . ment of the camp and the community, but there are , ; some wolves who come in sheep's clothing who drift "? ' in and try to upset all that some of the old-timers have - . ,' worked so hard to build up, and as a rule they do not 1 - last long. ! ' f The people soon tire of their incessant chatter and , V . ? , as a rule they move out, but sometimes they stay, and ' I " . ' the presence of a knocker in any community is always t r p objectionable. There are some adherents who stick to ' ' this said party who might be termed would-be politi- . 't . , ' ' cal bosses. They have an axe to grind, and will, and I .t are using their influence to try and run things as they j : ' . . : want, but despite their feeble attempts they do not v . get far and their deficiency of grey matter is easily j '('..' perceptible.. ; I . The people of Bingham will not remain hood- -winked. We admit the fact they make a noise, but ; - Josh Billings once said, "An empty barrel is full of i , noise" and the same may be said of these shallow t 7 - -. , noisy public men (?) who play the grand-stand trom- i . ' : ' ' . bone, but the average old-timer of Bingham knows ' ' . ' they are just common' mules, bo to speaks and pass j - them up with a grin. I This paper stands for Bingham and its people. J It does not knock. .It boosts. It believes in Bing- f . , ham and its pioneers and does its best to help the ) , town, and the camp generally. It fights those who ' i ' fight Bingham and will continue to do so. J , We believe Bingham is a good town and we are ' t ' . ' . not afraid to get out and say so and if these knockers ? 1 '-. don't like our attempt to hold up for the rights of . , those who are here they can do the other thing. |
