/ The "Lake Superior News" is
the title of the new pape, just start
At Duluth, Mess. Woodbridge &
Delplaln publishers, w. S. Wood
bridge editor. We have received
numbers one and two, and must say
that the paper is very fairly edited
and presents an appearance quite
creditable, the last number being q
considerable improvement over the
first. The Tribune and the Herald
naturally exhibit little Jealousy
over their their new rival, but
they'll soon get over that,-the
field is free. However, one who un.
derstands the situation cannot heII
thinking that third paper in Du
luth, with two old established pa
pers 10 fight against, will nave up
hill work 20 maintain a subsistence
In fact it would seem that with al
the patronage that could be secured
in Duluth cae paper would not gel
rich. Still, we wish the new enter
prise the full measure of success i
may merit.
