the model newspaper.
From the first it has been the aim OF the pub
fishers Of The Inter Ocean to have the paper
reach this high standard, and in each of he
ten years of its existence a notable step for
ward has been taken. AS every change has
met with encouraging response from the pub
lie i'm the shape Of increased patronage, II is fair
to assume that the efforts OF the publishers have
been in the right direction, and have been APP
preciated.

No paper in the country has given so much at
tentiOn to immigration movements, railway and
canal enterprises, race and economic problems,
and other topics relating to the prosperity Of
