The only other paper published in
North Idaho is the TELLER, and it has
several hundred more paying subscri

circulation is much the largest. lie

WHAT Is THERE PRoGREssIvE,-"No
Idaho needed an infusion of new blood and
progressive ideas in its journals; we came,

Not measure of public importance
has been urged by the News, since its
publication, save an oil mill, that had
not before been urged by the TELLER,
and in some instances till the theme
was nearly worn out, as a newspaper
SUI ject. The segregation Of the In
dams upon the reservations, the TELLER
urged in '76 and II, when almost the
whole press of the country opposed.
The uniting of North Idaho to Wash
ington was urged by the editor of the
TELLER long before friend Parker left
old England. The building of the
wagon rood to Grand Ronde valley
was urged by the TELLER before Park
er ever saw Idaho. The TELLER was
first to urge the road to Potlatch. The
opposition to oppressive monopoly has
always been a distinctive feature Of
The TELLER. Will not our brother
point out the thew progressive ideas"

His attempt to seize upon the Clear
water pass of the Bitter Root as his
'ffspring, only stamps his sayings
bout these matters of progression, as
belonging to him, as sickening assump-
ion and egotism, and every reader of
he TELLER knows this. We always
new that our "big brother" Frank,
'as an egotist of the first water, but

We. will remind our brother that there
re many questions of the most vital
Importance to the welfare of this sec.
