JOURNALISM Mr.. Frank Wins
low we received this week COPY of the
- Boston Herald" OF Feb. 9th. 1t con-
tans cut of the new " Herald" building,
and an exhaustive history of the paper,
its origin, progress and successes up to
the present day. There is much in the
account to encourage enterprise among
newspaper men; however it recOunts re-
verses which no ordinary force could sur
mount. The paper was established as a
daily in 1916. and now it detrays weekly
bills to the amount of $500. Its average
daily circulation numbers l02,05 In
lS46 its editorial and reportorial staff was
composed of two men, now IL includes
A. The compositors then employed were
6, now they number S4 One pressman
and an assistant easily printed the
" Herald" and another daily paper as
well at that time, now 30 men find con-
slant employment in attending the en-
gnes aud the fonr latest improved per-
tecting presses required to issue the cdi-
tions on time. The business department
was then conducted by one man who
easily found time to attend to the mailing
and sale Of papers; now, fourteen persons
have plenty to do in the connting-room
and the delivery room engages sixteen.
Then, stereotyping the daily forms of
newspapers was an unheard-of proceeding;
now, eleven men are employed in the
" Herald's' foundry. The new Herald"
building occupies three lots, upon which
previous y stood three distinct buildings.
1t covers about 6,200 square feet. The
amount Of paper used daily ut the present
time, in this building, amounts to about
5l4 tons, and the amount of ink used per
week amounts to 1000 pounds.

what must be the future of Oregon

by the same standard, with mex

most complimentary to us; but can
we safely base our calculations for

way of industry, perseverance and system

of ability and sagacity, in her literary eff
forts. Although extremely radical in her
views, belonging to the onc-ldea class,
and being a target for many shafts of ridi-
cule, her lhbors will yet be recognized
upon their proper basis and estimated at

THERE is a class of reading matten, with
which every printing office in the land is be-
ing flooded, such as "Our Washington Let
ter" ''Our Special Correspondence from
New York." etc, which,, in our estimation,
sinks below the patent newspaper in point
of value. These letters, are gotten up in
some dingy office in a remote part of the
great cities, by experts, who hayeno more
personal knowledge. Of the things of which
they write than we have,r butt make their
letters from the city papers, intermipgling
enough fiction to give them the appearance
of having emanated from one thoroughly.
acquainted with the matters and having
taken actual observation of events as related.
These letters are offered us for a mere NOM
inal sum in cash or advertising, with the as
surance that no other paper in the vicinity
is to have the same letter. The offer is IN
deed generous, and would'sav us labor. 1t
is cheaper than writing, and, we regret to
say, of a cheap quality too cheap to be
worth printing, OF even worth reading when
1t is printed. The leading feature in this
line the coming summer. will be, .'Our, Paris
Letter" or 1.-The Great Exposion.' These
will be gotten up in the same dingy office
where "Our Centennial Letters were COIN
ed, and will be a rehash of the same matter,
with II little French interSpersed here and
there just to give it tone. We are necessar-

fill it with correspondence it must be from
persons whom we know to be reliable, and
written expressly for our columns. We oc-
~casionally nave a New York letter, but these
are prepared for our paper and no other.
During the summer we may secure a Wash

our New York correspondence, they will be
genuine and written for our paper alone,
and have the merit of truth.

The National declaration,of principles

ed that the Government should furnish aid,

that is, they should be carried out there tree

ment expense. Second, all money to be is
sued by the Government, and plentyofit;
the rate of'interest in no case to exceed three
per cent. Third, interest in Government
bonds TO be paid in paper, and no more is
sued. Fourth, no speculation in any of the
OF life, money, bonds, food or
land. Next, an income tax and labor-sav-
machinery to he controlled by the Gov
eminent. This is not exactly Communism.
but it is quite near enough to it to make all
thinking men view the future with alarm.

A Word of welcome and encouragement
to the immigrants who are daily arriving in
u Territory would not, we think, be amiss,
since man has a strong propensity to look
ol the, dark side OF things. particularly
when he feels himself to be a stranger in a
strange land. There is ample room in Mon
tana for all who are here now and may come
for years, and opportunity in every branch
of industry for labor whereby they may be-
come useful citizens. The great question
which naturally suggests itself to the new
conner is what to do fora livelihood. This
question may be easily answered as follows:
Do whatever you, wish, if you have the
means if not, do whatever you can. There
is no lack of opportunity for investment to
those who have, means. Those who had
only money enough to bring them here, and
who find themselves afoot and alone, With
out a dollar or a friend, may, of course, find
1t a little rough sailing until they become
acquainted with the, customs Of the country.
The only course for such is to accept the
first thing that offers. After they have
worked Il few months, and are a little ahead,
they will be we'll enough acquainted to look
out for such an occupation as suits them.
Our miners are without limit, and will. afford
remunerative employment for thousands.
Our valleys are the most beautiful and fer
tile in the, West only tickle the soil with a
plowshare, throw on the grain broadcast,
open the flood. gate of. some, mountain
stream, and in due time it, will smile with a
golden harvest. Our stock range is limited
only by our TERRITORIAL boundary, and all.
that is required ofathe, herdsman is to get
the stock and tend their breeding; nature
will furnish feed, winter and ummer.
The young man who has just arrived from.
the States should not become discouraged
because gold nuggets are not as thick AS
grave)stones, and dates grow not,upon our
forest pines, but set to work in earnest.
Homestead orpre-empt a ranch.and set about
TO improve it,; gather a few stock about you
they will multiply without care-and in a
few years, by industry and economy, the
poorest of today may be the possessor of a
home-a bright, sunny mountain home
that he would not exchange for two such as
his fathers in the far-off Observation-Disclosures
ed and shady though it may Reproductive
ness, scenery and health considered. The
Immigrant must Danish the thought of pick
ing up a fortune in a year or two, if he
wishes to succeed, and set about his work as
if located for life. He should not rush from
one business to another because dollars.do
not roll up fast enough to meet his youthful
a%nticipations. There is nothing made by
hurrying. Begin upon a sure foundation,
and be content to grow with the growth'of,
the country. That will be rapid,
