THE LOWER LAKE BULLETIN, Lower Lake, California, March 9, 1889  Not only is this the first of this title we have offered, but it is a rarity in that it is printed on orange "necessity paper". Such paper is non-typical newsprint used when the normal supply of paper is not available, usually due to weather and transportation issues. And usually affected are smaller towns in remote areas where weather & transportation can be seasonal problems.
More of a burnt-orange in color, the quality is a bit thinner than typical newsprint so there are numerous archival mends, most on the interior pages.
Additionally, it is rare as no issues are held by institutions as recorded in Gregory's "Union List of Newspapers". It notes only the Bancroft Library had scattered dates, all of which were deaccessioned some years ago, this date being one of them.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, various archival mends as noted above, good condition.
