FOR A NEW MINOT DAILY
Norman B. Black of Grand Forks
Hopes to Organize New Company
to Publish Big Minot Paper

Norman B. Black of Fargo arrived
in the city Monday and will spend the
week in Minot Mr.. Black proposes to
publish daily newspaper in this city
and his visit here at this time is to
complete arrangements, if possible,
to install the new publication at an
early date. It is understood that Mr..
Black is backed by a number of Minot
business men and he proposes to give
this city one of the best daily news
papers in North Dakota if his present
plans are perfected.
Mr.. Black was manager of the Grand
Forks Times and later became man.
ager of the Grand Forks Times-Her-
aid plant which for years was one of
the states most successful newspa-
pers.
The new concern is to be a stock
company. It is realized that there is
room in Minot at the present time for
but one first-class daily newspaper
and if the new publication is installed
the newspaper game in Minot will be-
come rather interesting to say the
least.

The business men of Des Laos have

to cope with the possible events in
