The new dress of type in which The
News today appears wholly for the
first time, comes as another marked
improvement in the paper which will
without doubt meet cordial apprecia-
tion on the part of readers. The new
face is much smaller and more con-
densed than the old, thus giving the
readers more news matter in the Civ
en- space. 1t is another step toward a
more metropolitan basis. To give all
of the news of the day in the briefest,
concisest form possible; to provide the
northwest with the very latest Asso-
ciated Press dispatches, thus discount
! ing other papers for this territory; to
give markets a day ahead of other pa
pers; to give the news of the north
west, quickly and in detail; to be alto
gether brisk, brief clean up-to-the-
