California Editors and the Civil War Pulpit Clash
A narrative reminiscence of California newspapers during the Civil War era, detailing editor rivalries in Sonora and other towns, threats of violence, and the role of editors in shaping public opinion. The piece recalls armed mobs, a near attack on a Democratic office, Lincoln assassination aftermath, and the culture of partisan journalism in the sparsely populated West.

Evans Notes and Developments In Early 1900s Colorado
Evans gains rent changes and local business moves. The public library nears opening while Sam Raugh buys the rink building for a new business house. Water returns to Evans, I M Irwin purchases land east of town, and a grocery replaces a saloon plan. Early school plans and mounting growth in Hyde are noted along with regional cattle, rail liability rules, and a Montana judge’s flock venture.

Cotton Surplus in Bokhara Delays Rail Transport
Bokhara holds 1,000,000 poods or 56,000,000 pounds of cotton awaiting transport to Russia via the Transcaspian railway. An additional 1,000,000 acres watered by the Murghab could grow cotton. An American land bid failed as Escow Capital aims to monopolize. The government has subsidized the industry.
