In the Newberg Graphic issue from October 30 1913 readers see a note of appreciation to the News Reporter and Telephone Register. An ironic aside comments on the slit skirt and its advantages for kicking a hound dog. It also notes outdoor workers must finish fall tasks due to favorable weather odds.
A communication from J. E. Holladay indicates the two local telephone companies have not reached a settlement. The article was too long for this week and will be used next week if desired.
The Eugene Guard argues Oregon has no normal schools and notes President J H Ackerman of the State Normals at Monmouth may forgive editor Finneran as a relatively new journalist in Oregon.
The Graphic received a letter from a South Dakota reader seeking a copy of the paper and the name of a reliable real estate firm. The writer notes local agents are modest and dislike print exposure. The piece also urges the charter commission to require cigarette smokers to wear smoke consumer labels for public relief.
Papers were served on S. P. Timberlake and Frank Baird by the city council Wednesday evening for violating an ordinance prohibiting wooden buildings in fire limits. The tie shed at the Transfer barn was cited as the offending structure despite its iron roof and improved appearance.
The Newberg city council again weighs an ordinance to require iron poles for electric line service. At Monday night’s meeting the matter was referred to the street committee to gauge property owner sentiment on the street. The note outlines iron tubes similar to Portland Fourth Street poles and questions feasibility for electric light and telephone use, risking two pole sets on main streets.
A Newberg correspondent argues for using a single set of iron or wood poles to avoid street clutter as plans for public works unfold. The piece recalls Indiana school debates and praises Homer Davenport for aiding the underprivileged, suggesting funds be raised for training young artists rather than a monument at his grave.
The Enterprise notes that future Newberg assessments will raise property values because current revenue can’t cover expenses. The critic cautions that piling more debt next year will force higher valuations again and trigger county and state taxes, questioning who pays those taxes.
At the State Editorial Association meeting in Portland a Davenport memorial fund was proposed to honor the Oregon cartoonist. W R Hearst contributed 100 dollars toward a monument at Davenport's grave in Silverton, bringing subscriptions to about 300 dollars. Publishers were urged to donate 25 cents per month per thousand in circulation for one year to support the fund. Further subscriptions were expected.
Fiske of the Dallas Itemizer questions the Review’s claim that the state ticket was sacrificed for Chamberlain. The piece argues Chamberlain controlled nominations and promotions, cites regional favoritism, and accuses the Review editor of bias while defending independence and ownership of the paper.
An offer for a bundled subscription priced at two dollars per year, combining the Semi Weekly Journal with the Graphic for readers seeking a two-in-one newspaper package.
