This would probably classify as a ghost newspaper, since no known copies exist. The Honey Lake Homestead newspaper made its debut in March 1910. The four page, six column paper’s mission statement was “will be devoted to the uplift of the country north of Reno.” Who was behind the paper is not known, it was only revealed that it was published by Honey Lake Homestead Publishing Company located at Amedee.
The paper in May caused a tiff among the other Lassen County newspapers as it would not abide the standard advertising rate for a political card, the space equivalent of a typical business card. By summer the paper had suspended operations.
