WINNIPEG, Man, Dec. 27-The feeling
Of resentment and indignation at the con
duct Of the St. Paul Pioneer Press In se
curing subscribers on specious promises
Of "boom" articles and regular telegrsphic
and mail correspondence, is not confined
to the American side Of the line, but e.
lists in marked degree amongst Manito-
bans, who we're victimized by the oily
tongued ambassadors Of that sheet. Last
spring the P. P. gang put in an appear
ance here and, having enlisted the good
offices Of the boaad Of trade, secured
about 200 subscribers at SO each. The
promised "write up" Of the city was fairly
done-the editorial staff evidently having
''thrown themselves' on the subject. A
competent correspondent, chosen by q
committee Of citizens, was selected, and
he has written some very good letters.
But the remuneration offered him, it 10
said, is so small that he cannot afford to
waste his talents and time in preparing
such matter as the people here were led
to expect they would receive. As re-
suit those who were most actively engag-
ed in aiding the Pioneer Press scheme
are now greatly disappointed, while those
prevailed upon by the committee to. sub.
scribe feel that they have thrown away
exactly $40 each. The paper is received
regularly, and in most places can rs reg
ularly be seen unopened and unread. Il
is safe to say that there will not be a soil
tary renewal when the subscriptions OK
pire and the p. P.'s circulation will
dwindle down to its normal condition
exchanges with the local press.
