Ociosm, 1924 OREGON EXCHANGES ~Earl R. Goodwin, who covers the court house beat for the Oregon Journal and keeps a weather eye on the doings of civilian veterans, took time off from his toil to officiate as head linesman at the O. A . C.- Multnomah game. One of the most comprehensive of re- cent special editions is the Fourth An nual Apple Show edition of the Free water Times, E. Y . Sanderson editor and R. E. Bean business manager. Twenty two seven-column pages, dealing largely with the farms, orchards and gardens of the Freewater region and illustrated with halftone cuts, comprise the edition, which is issued in advance of the apple show, for the purpose of promoting in- terest in it. Fifty-one and one-half columns of reading matter, covering the news and a wide range of informative farm material, is included in the edition, issued October 10. The remainder of the space is taken up with most generous advertising patronage. John W. McDonald, operator for the Consolidated Press association in the Oregon Journal office, was married to Miss Mary Spangler, an Iowa girl, October 5, ‘at the First Congregational Church, Rev. Clement G. Clark officiat- ing. Reuel Moore, Northwest manager of the United Press, was best man for McDonald. Mrs. McDonald is niece of Mrs. Charles Farrington of Portland. The couple honeymooned in the moun- tains near Rhododendron for a few weeks. The latest addition to the reporting staff of the Coos Bay Times at Marsh field is Mrs. Katherine Watson Ander son, wife of John W. Anderson, who has been a member of the Times news staff for more than a year. Miss Watson became Mrs. Anderson early in Septem- ber. She is much thrilled at the new way of spending her spare time. She was formerly a student in the University of Oregon School of Journalism, of which Mr. Anderson is a graduate. The Cottage Grove Sentinel, live weekly of the “famous, fertile, fruitful” Wil- lamette valley, is to become a twice-a- week. Announcement to this effect was contained in a recent number of the Sentinel. In his announcement Editor Elbert Bede said: “While the advertising patronage probably will not increase noticeably in volume, advertisers will be enabled to advertise midweek sales and to get their advertising to the buying public more frequently and more advan- tageously. The readers will be the great- est beneficiaries. They will get their news twice as frequently as before. They will no longer read in a Thursday paper of things that happened the Thursday before.” Subscription price will he raised from $2 to $3 a year. The present model A Intertype, which has served the Sen- tinel for ten years, is to be replaced by an up-to-date model of the Intertype. The Sentinel is the second Oregon weekly to go on the twice-a -week basis within the last few weeks; E. A . Koen, on tak- ing hold of the Oregon City Banner Courier, turned that publication into a semi-weekly. James D. Olson, veteran city hall re porter of the Oregonian, will take a year’s leave of absence beginning the first of November. Jim, who can say “Hello Bill” with more true feeling than any other member of the antlered herd, has been appointed executive secretary of the 1925 Elks convention, which will turn things upside down in Portland next July. In the meantime he will have offices at the Elks temple. Jim has been a member of the Oregonian staff for seven years, most of which has been spent in covering the doings of the city administration. He worked on the Ore- gon Journal for a short time, and pre- viously with the Los Angeles Tribune. G. B . Nunn, publishing the Wheeler Reporter, has taken on promoting as a side line, and recently succeeded in financing a fine new fire-proof hotel building for his town. [3]
