The Sanborn Enterprise.

Mr. Mexican issued the first number Of
the Sanborn Enterprise yesterday, and as
we predicted it is live sheet and devoted
to the interests of Sanborn first, last and
always. Typographicallyit is all that could
be desired. His outfit though not large,
is all new and no printer in the Northwest
knows better how to handle it than he
All the people of Sanborn need TO do now
to have a good paper is to give liberal
support, and this they seem disposed to do
we are happy to say. Mr.. Mexican in his
salutatory says:
In making our bow before the people of
this place, it will not come amiss to say a
few words in regard to the Enterprise
and its future. In the first place we pro-
pose to publish just as good paper as our
support will warrant. Ifthe business men
and the people generally of this section of
country will patronize the Enterprise as
they have newspapers published in other
places, it will be but a short tine when we
will enlarge it considerably, as it is our
purpose to put into the business every cent
1t earns Our outfit at present is small,
but it is new and of he very best, not a
single item which is not available. 1t is
from the foundry Of Benton, Cove & Co.
What we ask and expect Of our patrons is
prompt payment Of what Is due TO us ana
in return we will cndcavor To give item a
readable newspaper.

lead a fast life Gu the frontier as long as
their health permits, and then when
broken down, wander back to civilization
to die at the public expense. Bismarck
has such cases the year around and James
