Late Sunday Night With this issue, The Journal kuJi its 1719. laiihaprihnra in A now -- - - -, ................... dress, the product ot our latest im provement, a standard mourn o Linotype. The people have demonstrated their faith in The Journal by com bining in the largest list of paid subscribers any paper has ever had in this part of the state, and we in return have installed the latest im proved and best equipped machine made by the Mergenthaler Lino type Company, which by the way is the same machine in use in the best plants ot the large city dailies, to assist us in keeping The Journal at the bead of the list of country papers in the state. The machine itself, is a model of mechanical perfection. The various working parts are protected by a list ot 69 patents, and composed of more than IS, 000 individual pieces. The machine cost about $3000.00. In addition to the wide range of type faces that it will cast, a variety of other things, including an ever changing series ot advertising, bor-j drs, 8lugt'd rules thatjfe the printer's delight, are easrij and quickly made in any quantity to suit the occasion. The Model 5 Linotype is a quick change single-magazine machine, adjustable from 5 to 14 point body, and up to 30 ems measure. This is the present standard singTe-maga-zine machine manufactured by the Mergenthaler Linotype Company. The Journal's machine is equip ped with three mneazines and with 6, 8 and 12 point two-letter mat rices which gives us six distinct type faces. In addition to these we have 18 and 24 point advertising figures which will permit of a very wide range of work. The power for running this won deiful piece of machinery is furnish . ed by gear, drive 1-8 H. P. electric motor. One ot the most up-to-date features about the machine is the electric linotype pot, the advantages - of which are absolute accuracy of temperature control, no soot, smoke dirt, oxide or other products of combustion, conservation of metal by preventing over-hating, better quality of slugs and increased production. The automatic sorts stacker is an attachment, simple in construction which permits the convenient use of any number of special characters in addition to those shown on the - keyboard. It is especially valuable in handling the advertising figures An endless number of special char acters can be used in addition to the 180 in a single-magazine machine. The linotype is so perfectly con structed that when any of the var ious parts are not properly adjusted the machine will stop until the op erator remedies the cause ot the trouble. The speed of the machine is really limited only by the oper ator's ability to manipulate the keyboard. One distinct advantage is that it permits The Journal to ap pear in a new dress each week and we feel confident the new equip ment will be appreciated by our large circle ot readers. The Journal was especially for tunate in having this machine in stalled by Chester L. Adams, who is one of the best mechanics that ever worked in the great Mergen thaler plant. We are again fortunate in secur ing an expert operator In the per son of F. F. Nash, who will be per manently in charge of the machine. Mr. Nash has had a wide experience in this particular line, and is a A total eclipse of the moon was witnessed by all Prineville people who were about between the hours of 10:30 and midnight Sunday. It was plainly visible and a beau tiful demonstration ot an eclipse. We are informed that it was wit nessed by , A. W. Battles ot the County Clerk's office, among others.
