cellence with each succeeding year
Of its existence, Is to be the model
newspaper.
From the first it has been the aim
OF the publishers Of the INTER
OCEAN 70 have the paper reach this
high standard, and in each OF the
ten years Of it's existence notable
step forward has been taken. As
every change has met with encour-
aging response from the public in
the shape Of increased patronage, it
il hir to assume that the efforts Of
the publishers have been in the
right direction, and have been APP
preciated.
The INTER OCEAN will remain un-
compromisingly Republican, will
maintain its present attitude Of pro-
tecting American industries; will con-
tinue 70 devote special attention to
trade; transportation, and economic
questions; viii retain the department
Of The Curiosity Shop q current
encyclopedia Of curious, interesting
and valuable information, called out
by inquiries Of subscribers); The
Womans Kingdom devoted to the
progressive movements in which
women are interested); The Farm
and Home Covering topics Of spe-
cial interest to farmers, their wives
and their children), The Veterinary
Containing answers to questions as
to the treatment Of horses, cattle
and 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 hitherto
to serial and short stories, original
and selected sketches, and poems,
and with increased facilities for news
gathering in the shape of special
mrn to New York and Washington,
and experienced correspondents well
placed at home ard abroad, will
more than maintain it's high stand
ard for enterprise and accuracy in
al departments of news.
The INTER OCEAN, always closely
identified with the interests Of the
west, has led in the work Of devel-
opment of both the northwest and
tie southwest, and it will continue
70 mako prominent the characteristic
10 features Of the progress Of the
newer communities toward state
