# is customary with most publishers
wien thev make their "bow" to the public,
in either new or established publications, to
make many and great promises for the
future. For change we purpose to make
an exception to this rule with an exception
The exception will be in the form of an in
crease in the size ofthe paper. This seems
to be necessary in justice to our readers.
The change will be made just as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be effected,
which will not be many weeks. Further
than this we will not promise, pref rring to
let the paper speak for itself.
The independent attitude of the TRIBUNE
in the past will be maintained in the future,
a, that policy is deemed best for all con-
cerned.
Local and County matters will continue
to be special features and the best interests
BeaverheadC County borne ia mind at all
times.
The News Department which has al
ready attained reputation for completeness
and accuracy will be continued with vigor.
Territorial and Rocky Mountain news
will be given especial attention and pre-
sented in thoroughly condensed form.
After the enlargement, which will make
1t possible, "Miscellanea" will be given
more space and will become one of the
most entertaining features of the TRIBUNE.
Our columns are open for the free dis
russion of all topics of general interest as
ong as correspondents keep within proper
bounds.
1t is presumed that our subscribers take
lively interest in sustaining journal in
County and we sincerely hope
hey will be prompt in paying their sub
crptons, for though the individual
mounts are small, when taken together
hey go great way toward paying printers,
aper makers and type founders, who will
ot wait several years for their pay as the
ublishcr Of newspaper often has to.
