Has been just at all times, never
allowing himself to stoop to vent
petty grievances to the detriment of [
his fellow man.
From the general tone and breezy I
, atmosphere sis portrayed by the
I "tar" it is his evinent Intention to
continue to wield his pen, honestly I
and fearlessly. With the view of
giv;ng his readers and patrona -full
value in return for their support,
he is giving them the late war news
in concise form.
Many years ago, Mr. A. M. Rous
sea i published the first issue of j
the Wnitehorse Star, and a few
years later, sold bis interests to
E. J. White. He is therefore back
to the child to which "ue is father,
and ho finds it a sturdy, well de
veloocd offspring, and ono of which
he may be justly proud. It is
safe *o say that he will continue its
education and cautiously and with
painstaking care nourish it. until
j the "Star" reaches its zenith of J
| perfection as a purveyor of news
anj a moulder of popular opinion.
' We will watch with pleasure his
aide efforts.
