Mr.. e. 81. Pierce retires from the
Sank Centre Herald and Mr.. A. NJ.
Welles again assumes charge. Well,
\ Welles, we wish you we'll.
Arrangements have practically been
completed for the publication of a
new weekly paper at Fertile. It will
be issued by the Fertile Publishing
company. We thought the Journal
Thoroughly covered the field.
! Last week the Lanesboro Leader
commenced it's twelfth volume, and
during the whole of the time the paper
has been in existence it has been
edited and published by o. NJ.
Levang, who is giving his subscribers
their moneys worth in the excellent
journal he is issuing to them. The
Leader has always been a clean news
paper and a power for good.

Fred D. Vibert has disposed of a
half interest in the Pine Knot, pub
lished at Cloquet, to Orlo B. Elfes
and retired from active newspaper
work. Mr.. Elfes will henceforth
manage the paper. Under Mr..
Vibert's able management the Pine
Knot was one of the best papers in
Minnesota and no doubt Mr.. Elfes
will keep it up to the same standard
of excellence.

Breeze Printing Company are being
| published in the Onamia Lake Breeze.
The names of the incorporators are
&c. 81. Mackenzie, George j. Van
Rhee and Fred E. Swanson, all of
Onamia. The capital stock is placed
at S25, 900, and the highest amount of

who in the deuce would credit a
country newspaper to the extent of
81, 900?
The St. Cloud Daily Times was
twenty-five years old on September q.
It was started by G. F.. Macdonald,
it's present editor, in conjunction with
the Weekly Times, during St. Clouds
real estate boom. The Weekly Times
is in it's forty-eighth year. It was
purchased by Mr.. Macdonald in
January, 1875, and he has been
grinding out editorials ever since.
Both the daily and weekly editions of
the Times are among the best of
papers and their veteran editor is a
gentleman and a scholar who COM
mands the respect of every newspaper
boy in the state.
N. P. Olson, formerly publisher of
the Anoka Free Press, is now located
| Minnesota, and is issuing the Red
Wing Free Press, a continuation of
the Goodhue County News. The new
Free Press starts out we'll and is truly
representative of the thriving city in,
! which it is published. 1t is seven
column quarto and filled with interest
ing reading matter-there is not
dull column in the paper. Mr.. Olson
is an able and forceful writer and his
paper is bound to exercise a large
influence. The U n O heartily wishes
Bro. Olson the success he so richly
merits.
A linotype machine has been in
stalled by the Bovey Iron News and,
from the following, published in that
paper, the boys are having perplex-
ing time getting acquainted with it's
peculiarities: "The new Merganthaler
type setting machine recently installed
in this Office is all right, all right,
but the operators of it are crazy learn
ing its blamed idiosyncrasies. The
machine will not make a mistake of
its own accord, but the head behind it
is losing it's hair in keeping pace with
it. Much of the matter in this issue
was set with the machine, and the edi-
tors are patting each other on the
back when line is cast with less than
nine mistakes in it. In time we hope
to conquer the beast and set up the
whole sheet with it. Better stop in
and see the critter work. It's curl
osity as we'll as the Office force.''
