Comment From Our Exchanges
Fargo Forum The newspaper fight
at Beach has been settled and Editor Brin-
ton is in peaceful possession, but not until
two attorneys got so strenuous that the
sheriff had to part them. The new editor
has changed the form of his paper and has
greatly improved this hustling weekly.
Bismarck Tribune: The Brinton Bros.
had rather strenuous time in purchasing
the Beach Chronicle finally succeed
ed in buying the paper-and the threat
that Editor Young, formerly publisher of
the Chronicle, will start another paper in
opposition doesn't seem to be given much
credit.
Harvey Herald Brinton Bros have
recently purchased the Golden Valley
Chronicle, published at Beach, North Oak
ota and ]. w. Brinton has assumed the
duties of editor. Beach is a thriving
western town and is sure to become an inn
portant town in Western North Dakota.
The Chronicle is already showing effects
of its new ownership.
We are in receipt of the first issue of the
Golden Valley Chronicle which was pub
lished under the new and efficient editor
ship of ]. w. Brinton. The Chronicle has
not only gained considerable notoriety dur
ing the past week while the question of
ownership was being discussed by the at
torneys but also underwent radical
change and will. in the future, mall e its
weekly visits in the form of twelve-page,
1--WE column paper. 1t has very neat APP
pearance which is evidence of Brother
Brintons being there with the goods, and
we wish him success. Pioneer.
Editor w. A. Young, formerly proprietor
of the Beach, N. d., Chronicle, arrived
here last Friday and went on to Melrose,
where he will spend week or ten DAYS
with home folk and friends. He has finally
determined not to again engage in the
newspaper business in Beach, but will con-
slider one of several other newspaper prop
ositions which are open to him. Mr.. Young
has made good progress in business way
since going to Beach and probably again
will be actively engaged in the newspaper
business in that prosperous state within a
short time Jackson County Journal.
Melrose Chronicle: w. A. Young Of
Beach, N. D., arrived here Saturday even
ing for weeks visit with his parents at
North Bend, and Melrose friends Hehas
abandoned the idea of establishing second
paper at Beach, and has not definitely de-
cided where he will locate in the future
His two years business venture in North
Dakota town proved exceeding prosperous.
and it was purely because of the lucrative
price he received for his paper that he
relinquished control of it. Mr.. Young is a
good all-round newspaper man, and can
win out anywhere he may decide tolocate.
Billings County Republican: Brinton
Bros, who recently purchased the Golden
Valley Chronicle at Beach, took possession
last week and the first number under the
new management reached us in due time.
The size of the paper is changed from seven
to five columns but they now have six pages
OF home print and the improvement, me-
chemically as well as otherwise, in the Chron.
lcle isvery marked and gives evidence that
]. w. Brinton who edits and manages the
paper, understands the newspaper bust
ness The Republican extends fraternal
greetings and best wishes for the success
of the Chronicle and its owners
Center Republican,: E. F. Mutchler
our genial merchant, who recently entered
the race for representative in the goth
district, spent couple of days oflast weel
in Stanton where he met many friends who
promised him their support for the pri
maries. There seems to be complete unity
in the ranks in Mercer county as we'll as
in Oliver county and there is no doubt bu,
that this feeling will continue to exist
Neither Mercer, Oliver or Billings county
want to hog it al" but all three countie:
are perfectly satisfied with the live and
let live" policy.
