DANIELS—In the Lion’s Den
Last week we of the Valley Frontiersman mourned
a dead city. This week, we are happy to tell you that
the city of Palmer is not dead—it may sleep a little
longer, but it is not dead.
We who believe in the city of Palmer lost the first.
round in its battle for existence last week, when an
election to decide that issue was denied. We already
are at work gathering added facts, more substantial
proof, and concrete evidence of our need to present
again at a new hearing.
We shall ask for that hearing as soon as we have
built our structure of facts so firmly that we cannot
►be denied a second time.
We who believe in incorporation expect to fight
this battle until it is carried to the final judge—the
people who live in the proposed city. We will not be '
defeated until the final judge has proved us to be in
the minority.
Therefore, we pledge again a renewed battle over
our sleeping city, until you, our readers and our future
city residents, have proved to us that Palmer is really
dead.
