Deserves Success-M andan Pioneer:
The Bismarck Tribune comes to us
now as a morning paper instead Of an
evening paper as heretofore. The As
ISOLATED Press service has been added,
and the change ought to be apprecf-
5ated by the patrons of the Tribune.
/ Whether the venture will be paying
one financially for the publishers re-
main to be seen, but If not it will be
for lack Of patronage instead Of effort
on the part Of the management. The
Tribune is a good clean paper and is
deserving Of success. 81 ..55}
