The undertaking Is an expensive
one and one that II will take months
to complete. Bnt should the enter
prise NEE with the endorsement OF
The people 1t will be enlarged upon
and some Of the best newspaper work
the state has ever seer will be done.
And why is this? The question Is
a reasonable one and is entitled 10 an
honest answer.
In the first place no paper in the
state holds so unique a position as
docs the Tribune. II Is the oldest pa.
per in the state and the only truly
state paper. There are many other
good daily and weekly papers in the
state. In fact. in proportion TO popn-
lation no other state in the union can
show so many good newspapers as
can this state-papers of unusual
merit and ability-but every one, the
Tribune excepted, occupy a more or
less local field. The Tribune alone
is a state paper in position and in
reality. Located at the capital city.
il is in direct touch with the state
government in every particular. The
executive departments, legislative
proceedings, the supreme court and,
in fact, everything that is Of real
interest to the citizens of the state
must of necessity come within the.
sphere OF direct observation of the
Tribune. Hence no citizen that wants
to be well posted a afford to be
without the Tribune. Then, as a
newspaper, giving the worlds news,
there is none better for the citizens of
mic Ctufa' &C n Ynn1jl-p fhrnlUh
which to receive the happenings Of
the entire state the T. ibune has the
advantage of all other newspapers in
the state. The Tribune covers the
state, and not a part of the state or
some local section.
Years ago the editorial force real
lied that climatic conditions in North
Dakota were different to what they
were in the eastern and older sections
of the United States and that the
methods required in faSming, in order
to meet the best results, must be
different, and as a result the Tribune
has an editorial force trained to state
conditions and is treating them in q
way that no other newspaper has ever
attempted.
The development Of the state in
railway building and the growth of
the towns has always been reported
in the Tribune for the entire state,
and not for one locality.
The Tribune has studied the natural
resources as no other publication in
the northwest has done and has had
the courage to tell the world of these
wonderful possibilities.
And now the Tribune has started
upon a campaign such as has never
before been attempted and it asks the
support Of the people of the entire
state, not as a matter of charity or us
a gratuity, but as an exchange for
value received, and it fully expects
the people to grant this favor, because
in so doing the people will get more
than value received and at the same
time help or an enterprise that will
aid them and the state greatly.
The Tribune asks nothing but an
honest support in it's subscription list,
and then it will furnish a paper such
as the state has not yet seen. The
people of North Dakota have always
heretofore responded promptly when
they have been fairly dealt with and
that is why this heavy expense is now
being advanced upon the part of the
publishers of this paper.
