Sykes, of Chicago, who was sentenced to
the penitentiary for three years for issu-

On Oct. list, last, The Minneapolis

On Oct. 1st. last, The Minneapolis
Journal was enlarged from folio to
an eight-page paper. Its mechanical
and other facilities were doubled in
effectiveness, but the price of the paper
was not increased, remaining at 2 cents
per copy. This was the first time in the
history of the Northwest that an eight
page metropolitan daily was given to
the public for 10 cents week. The ex-
pertinent has proved an entire success.
The circulation of the paper has grown
steadily, having recently passed $4,000
as the daily average. and the business
has very largely increased. It has the
Associated Press and United Press tele-
graph reports, three hundred North
western correspondents, and a large
Minneapolis and st. Paul local staff,
thus covering fully the news of the
country at large. the Northwest and the
Twin Cities. We cordially commend 1t
to our readers as one of the brightest
and best dailies in the country.

If you are going west bear in mind the
following facts: The Northern Pacific
81 per cent of the entire railroad mileage
main line from east to west; is the short
line to Helena; the only Pullman and
dining car line to Butte, and is the only
line that reaches Miles City, Billings,
Bozeman, Missouia, the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park and, in fact, nine tenths of
the cities and points of interest in the
territory.
The Northern Pacific owns and oper-
ates 621 miles, or Sc per cent of the rail
road mileage of Washington, It's main
line extending from the Idaho line via
Spokane Falls, Chenev, Sprague, Yaki-
mi and Ellensburg, to the center of the
territory to Tacoma and Seattle and from
Tacoma to Portland. No other trans
continental through rail line reaches any
portion of Washington Territory. Ten
days stop over privileges are given on
Northern Pacific second class tickets at
Spokane Falls and all points west, thus
affording intending settlers an excellent
opportunity to see the entire territory
without mourning the expenses of pay
ing local fares from point to point.
The Northern Pacific is the shortest
route from St. Paul to Tacoma by 2O7
miles; to Seattle by III intestine cor
respondingly shorter, varying from one
to two days, according to destination.
No other line from st. Paul or Minneap-
