From the first it has been the aim Of the pub

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 encoura-
ging response from the public in the shape of

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
perlty OF the Older states and the developments
OF the newer sections az The Inter Ocean.
Because it is constantly enlarging the field of
newspaper discussion and graphing unheSitat-
lngly with all new questions that come before
the people, 1t has increased rapidly in circula-
ton, among all classes of tradesmen and farm
ers. Because of its enterprise in leading special
telegraph wires to the great centels, it has
grown in favor with all who like completeness
and accuracy in dispatches. Because of its
steadfaSt Republicanism and its close sympathy
with the best elements of the Republican party,
| it has grown steadily in favor with partymen.
Because OF the high character and wide range OF
its literary and special departmen ts, it has be-
| come greater favorite in the home than any
other distinctively political paper in the coun-
| try.
The aim has been to make the best paper for
cty,Suburban, or country readers; the best paper
| for the business man and his family; the best
| paper for the strong partisan well as the gen.
eral reader; and as the circulation has increased

can journals as the model newspaper.
