been rapid increase in the number of
papers and publications established in
this city up to the present time, until
now st. Paul can boast of no less than
five daily papers, twenty-five weeklies,
four semi monthlies and twenty-five
monthly publications.
AS the number of publications has
increased with the progress of the
times. so have also the facilities for
doing the mechanical work been i'm
proved upon, until at present there are
newspapers and printing offices in this
city that has been equipped with some
the finest printing plants in the North
west.
In fact so great is the contrast be-
tween the time when the Pioneer,
which was the name of the first paper,
was started and had to be printed on
an oId-fashioned Washington hand
press, and now, that it is almost diff
cult to believe so rapid an advance
could have been made.
Failures Have Been Many.

ings in trying to build up a weekly
paper, with the result that their eff
forts were met with failure in the end
