! gressive in the advocacy in the wel!-establlshed
| principles, without being narrow minded or un-
fair to cater to the tastes Of all classes of ntel

! dices ofany; to present in the most attractive
form the greatest variety OF matter. without cur
! failing or lowering the standard of any depart
| ment; to grow i'll interest and excellence with
| each succeeding year Of its existence, is % be
! the model newspaper.
| From the first it has been the aim of the pub
fishers of the Inter Ocean to havethe paper reach
this high standard, and in each of the ten years
| of its existence notable step forward has been
taken. AS every change has met with encour-
| aging response from the public i'll the shape OF
increased patronage, it is fair TO assume that the
efforts Of the publishers have been i'll the right
direction, and have been appreciated.
The Inter Ocean will remain uncomprom Using
Republican. wilTmaintain It's present attitude
of protecting American industries; will continue
to devote special attention to trace, transpOrta-
ton, and economic que tons; will retain the de-
partments OF The Curiosity Shop, Ga current en-
| cyclopedia of curious, interesting and valuable

| erS); The WOmans Kingdom devoted to the pro-
gressive movements in which women are inter
eSed) The Farm and Home covering topics OF
special interest to farmers their wives and their
children); The Veterinary Containing answers
to questions to the treatment of horses, cattle
ana other animals by one of the best veterinary
surgeons in the West; and Complications (taking
in puzzles, enigmas cOnundrums etc., all of
which are peculiar to the paper will give as
much space as heretofore to serial and short

and with increased facilities for news gathering
in the shape of special wires to New York and
Washington, and experienced correspondents

maintain its high standard for enterprise and
accuracy in all departments OF news.
The Inter Ocean, always closely identified
with the interests of the West has led in the
work of development of both the Northwest and
the Southwest, and it Will continue to make
prominent the characteristic features ofthe pro-
gress of the newer communities toward State
hood. No paper In the country has given so
much attention to immigration movements
railway and canal enterprise, race and economic
problems, and other tropics relating to the pros
perty Of the older states and the developments
OF the newer sections as The Inter Ocean.
Because it is constantly enlarging the field of
newspaper discussion, and graphing unhesitat-
ingly with all new questions that come before
the people, it has increased rapidly in Clrcula-
ton among all classes of tradesmen and farm
ers. Because of its enterprise in leading special
telegraph wires to the great news centeTs, 1t has
grown in favor with all who like completeness
and accuracy i'll dispatches. Because OF It's
Steadfast Republicanism and its close sympathy
with the best elements of the Republican part
it has grown steadily in favor with paTtymen.
Because OF the high character and wide range of
its literary and special departments it has be
come greater favorite in the home than any
other distinCtively political paper in the COun-
