we have secured possession ot tin
press and material formerly used in
the publication of the Yukon Pres,
at Circle. Our feeling ol justifica
tion in the publication ot a wcoklv
newspaper at Rampart has beer,
verified bv the liberal patronage oi
the citizens here and in t ie vicini
ty. The Forum will be fearless ii,
the publication of what it considers
news of interest to the public. Our
policy is to support the present ad
ministration—-while we reserve the
editorial column to present our op
inion, the public in general may
have its say in another column -re
gardless of sect, politics or opinion
—so long as proper language is used
and we holding the right to caption

inion on all subjects may be aired
here. The Forum is printed for
the benefit and profit of the people,
it has no personal motives or ends
in view—save the welfare of all. It
asks your good will and your friends’ ,
good will. The more you do for the j
Forum the more it will be able to |
I
do for you.
