Grand Forks citizens are proud of
their newspapers.
1t is boasted that no city in the
United States of equal size has three
daily papers that can compare in
quality of news service, telegraph
service, mechanical makeup, appear
ance and the quality of editorial SER
vice.
The development of these papers
has kept apace with the development
of the city and indeed this wonderful
development of the city speaks we'll
for the daily press. 1t is a certainty
that no newspapers in the northwest
have scored larger growth not only
In circulation but in advertising
patronage than the Grand Forks
dailies.
1t is difficult for the uninitiated to
understand the obstacles and stumbl-
ing blocks which are and needs must
be, surmounted in the successful eff
forts to deliver to the reading public
the very best that can be secured and
to deliver this in the least possible
time. The Evening Times is the
youngest of the daily papers in the
city Although launched but one short
year since, it has leaped forward
bound by bound and is now recognized
as one of the foremost papers of the
west. Its circulation has assumed a
metropolitan character and its adver-
Using columns are filled at every is
sue. The paper is run of the press
every afternoon except Sunday in
time for the afternoon and evening
trains which leave the city for all
parts of the state.
Local News.
The local news department of the
paper is not and never has been un-
derestimated and indeed in each of the
daily papers of the city the local de-
partment is paramount. In these con.
scientious endeavors to make the
daily chronicle of events in the city
as complete as possible, thanks must
be given to the reading public which
has assisted in every way possibl.
The editorial columns, too, are given
over to comments on city features and
local issues and in this way the COL
umns are made edifying, not only to
the man of leisure but to the busy
man of busy town. This does not
mean that papers of the city have
neglected matters both political and
social, national and international in
the editorial columns, but it empha-
sizes the greater Importance of mat
tiers of local consequences.
In the news departments of the
dailies it has always been noticeable
that the individuality of the writer
has been fostered and in this respect
1t might be noted that each reporter
and editor is aided and encouraged
in the effort to stamp the story with
his own individuality.
Mechanical Departments.
The mechanical departments of the
papers are open to the inspection of
visitors and other interested persons.
The mechanical equipment in any one
of the papers is far superior to any
thing in the state. The composing
rooms with the two and three limo
type machines and their human-like
arms reaching out to a regular beat
and with its stereoptyping and en-.
craving departments are we'll lighted
and arranged for convenience.
Other Papers and Periodicals.
The Ncrmanden, published by the
Normanden Publishing company, is a
Norwegian paper and is issued
weekly.
The Weekly Student is the official
paper of the University of North Da-
kota. During the past two or three
years this paper has improved to
wonderful degreee not only in the
quality of news but in the quantity
