VOLUME THIRD. OF THE TINES.

TOLUUE IHIRO Or IHE IINES-
WITH the present number, begins Vol.
III. of the SUPERIOR TINES. That the
TINES has been indispensable to our clti-
zens, as a means of local information, and
especially as a means Of bringing about
needed local action, has been sufficiently
demonstrated on more than one occasion
during the wear now closed. And while
not desiring to assume beligerent atti
tude for its own sake, our readers will bear
witness that the TINES has ever shown a
disposition to defend the best interests of
the place against all assailants.
This policy of informing and uniting our
moulding and shaping the future of this
reoion. will still characterize the conduct of
the TINES in its Third Volume; and it will
also be found no less ready to champion
the true interests Of this place in the future
than in the past. The hearty congratula-
tions Of our subscribers and exchanges,
assure us that the TINES has in the main
been upon the right track, and struck the
right chord, concerning the local and gen.
eral topics of the day.
We point with justifiable pride to the
freedom of our columns from the disgust
ing and pernicious details of crime, which
disfgure the record of so many otherwise
able papers. The readers of the TINES are
not required to make the penitentary con-
victs, and detective policemen of the land,
their most intimate mental associates. On
the contrary, we take pleasure in introduce
ing them to the society of the great railway
kings, Legislators, capitalists, inventors, sci
entitic men, statsticians, and in general to
the public bencfactors and men Of enter
prise, whose uttered thoughts are positive
benefit, and whose deeds and example are
an inspiration to the business man of the
frontier
The readers of the TINES will notice that
this paper is not prepared with the scissors,
but with the pen. The quantity of original
matter published in these columns the past
year, has been nearly double that of any
other weekly Of the same grade and crcu-
lation in the United States. This feature
will be continued in the new volume, as it
is our constant desire and study, to furnish
fresh and interesting matter for the perusal
of the patrons of the TINES.
The interests of the Lake Superior region
in general, and Of the whole Northwest,
will be advocated by us in common with
neighborng papers. Our welfare in the
broad view, is identified with that of the
Red River and Upper Mississippi valleys,
and of the cities and villages of the Lake
Superior coast, and of Northern Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Michigan.
On ali questions of farming, manufactur-
ipg, mining, railway building, emigration,
wholesome legislation, social progress, and
everything that can settle and benefit the
fertile New Northwest, we shall be found
in the front rank, as their fast friends and
promoters. The readers of the TINES, too,
will be made more and more acquainted
with the empire belt of country between
here and the Pacific coast, as we are so
soon to be on visiting terms with Montana,
Idaho and Washington Territories.
Our thanks are due subscribers for their
many kind words of encouragement in the
laborous task of conducting this represent
ative of their interests, and as a paper is
powerful in proportion to its extent of cir
cuation, we urge upon each to gain at
least one new subscriber for the Third Vol
ume of the TIMES.
