trine at % a Year-Hosts Of
Friends Wish Him Success
in His New Venture.

Frank Trainor, one of the oldest news
paper men of Butte. for many years con-
nected with the Inter Mountain. was in
the city today, with new smile on his
face. He has for four months past been
looking after his mining prospects over
near Sheridan but was not able to re-
sist the seductiveness of newspaper life,
and this week purchased the Philpsburg
Call taking possession on Wednesday.
Frank will run a red hot democratic
paper. and will no doubt give the people
the best of his political doctrine right
from the gun. He has been in the news
paper business for twenty years. in all
parts Of the country. from New York to
San Francisco.
He has extensive mining interests in
the state and is one of the best posted
men in the state on the doings Of mines
and miners of Montana. Everybody in
Butte knows Frank. His many years in
the press of the city gave him a wide
acquaintance with local men. as well as
with those from other points IN the state.
Thousands of friends will unite in wish
ing him success in his new venture.
''If I don't give the people the right
kind of democracy" said Frank, this
morning, she conned the specimen type
Observation-Disclosures for a new and at
tractive heading for his new paper, may
the type take wings and fly away, the
paper blow out of the window. the stock

wrench fall in and break the press, and
all kinds of evils come to the Office"
Frank is democrat from way back
and his wide experience will enable him
to dish the news in an attractive shape.
No man in Montana would meet with
more general encourageme in such a
venture than genial Frank Ira nor. The
Inter Mountain joins in wishing him long
life, a good subscription list, all the
passes he can use to shows or on the
railroads, and green old age in his new
home.
