By all the court. and they had the highcs,

TEE people and country newspapers of
the Missouri Slope owe much to the Bis
marck Daily Tribune. 1t is the only me-
dium through which the citizens Of the
Slope can obtain the latest telegraphlc
news. The writer set type for the first
issue of the Tribune daily. along in the
spring of 81. 1t WAS then worked on
hand press, IN the composing room. and
we remember that every time the press
man pulled the lover he would swear.
And yet he didn't swear very often while
working the first editions Of the new
daily. Few people knew what heavy sx-
pense is entailed by publishing daily,
especially one that takes the press dis
patches. For nearly seven years the
Daily Tribune has been published, and
during that tima 1t has been one of the
very few dailies in North Dakota that
has continuously taken the telegraphic
report. And now, with complete outfit
from cellar to garrst, the Tribune Is pre-.
pared to do as good printing and book
making, and as cheaply, rs can be done
in the New Northwest. Tho Tribune
has done hsrculean work in advertising
and settling the Missouri Slope, and de.
serves well of all citizens thereof. No
work requiring the exercise of the print
er's or bookbinder's art and beyond local
facilities--werk either public or private
should bo sent further east than Bismarck.
