The Gundagai Times and Tumut, Adelong, and Murrumbidgee District Advertiser reports on the difficulties encountered by the proprietors of The Western Grazier in establishing the latter newspaper. The Times says that the Grazier's 'printing plant took three weeks to accomplish the journey by water; then it was entrusted to a bullock dray which was bogged and lost sight of for a month. It was brought on board another team, in which the bullocks died one by one, and a team of horses had to be sent out to supply the place of the defunct bovine. Afterwards it was upset into the river, and a black diver had to rescue the packages piecemeal. Finally it reached its destination at Wilcannia.'
