The Portland Telegram, one of the leading
daily newspapers of the Northwest, has been
moved from its former quarters in the Pittock
block to its new and permanent home in the
Evening Telegram Building, erected on the
northwest corner of Eleventh and Washington
streets.
The new structure is three stories high,
especially designed and built to house The Tele­
gram, editorial, advertising, circulation and
mechanical departments. The architecture is
Colonial in style and the tower is almost a
replica of Independence Hall, Philadelphia.
The Telegram was founded April 16, 1877, by
The Oregonian Publishing Company, by which
it was conducted until July 24,1914, when it was
sold to J. E. Wheeler and L. R. Wheeler. The
latter assumed actual control of The Telegram
the day the World War began, July 28, 1914.
Since that time it has doubled in circulation.
The publishers are young men who are taking
an active interest in the social, economic, indus­
trial and political questions of the city, the state
and the nation. Their newspaper, reflect­
ing that spirit, has gradually come to take a
leading place among the daily journals of our
nation.
The policy of this journal is a policy of fair­
ness and a square deal. The spirit of progress
is reflected in its editorial and news columns.
The Portland Telegram is a constructive force in
the building of a better and a greater city and
state.
This month The Portland Telegram will issue
a Progress Edition devoted to chronicling the
progress of the Oregon country. In this edition
The Telegram will feature its own progress,
something of its own history.
The Portland Telegram is one of the popular
evening papers of this city and state.
