FIRST NEWS OF
L
"SCOOP" or SEATTLE PA.
PI'H'S MARINE REPORTER.
.luck Wlsluiar Sent First News to the
World Alter Risking Ills Life In
the Surf In nil Effort to Reach Tel
egraph Office nt 3 O'clock In the
Morning.
The following account of how the
first news of the wreck of the Valen
cia was given to the world Is taken
from the Fourth Estate, a Journal
published for newspapers. The re
porter, Fred L. Earp, mentioned in
the article, formerly worked for tho
East Oregonian:
. The sleep of the telegraph operator
at Port Angeles, Wash., was broken
at 3 o'clock on the morning of Janu
ary' 25 by a thundering knock at his
door. He got out of bed and hurried
dowmtnlrs. Confronting him as he
opened the door was a man covered
with mud from crown to toe. Dirts
streamlets poured from his body and
formed a puddle about his feet. He
was bareheaded and gasping. A
mask of mud half hid his face.
"I'm Jack Wlshaar, of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer,' said the man,
"and I want to send some stuff to my
paper. Open your office and call up
Seattle."
The operator did so. The first
message was a "flash." dictated, not
written. Seconds were precious for
Wlshaar knew that the day's issue of
the Post-Intelligencer was on the
press. The "flash" stopped an exo
dus of men from the editorial and
mechanical departments. They took
off their coats and began work on an
extra of supreme importance for the
mud-covered rep'orter at Port Ange
les begun sending the story of the
wreck of the Valencia. the biggest
scoop a paper on the coast had had
In many a day.
The Valencia had been lost Janu
ary 22. Word of the disaster reach
ed the Post-Intelllgencer the next
day. Jack Wlshaar, marine reporter,
and Asabel Curtis, a staff photog
rapher, went out In the relief steam
er flty of Topeka, sent to look for
survivors of the wreck.
On the afternoon of the 24th the
Topeka picked up a raft with IS half
starved, half-frozen men from the
Valencia. They wero taken on board
the steamer and Wlshaar got their
nams and as much of the dreadful
story as they were able to tell.
At 10 o'clock that night the Topeka
spoke the steame Texan, bound ip
the strait of Juan de Fuca. r
Wlshaar got aboard the Texan with
much difficulty, and at 2:30 In the
morning of January 25, started for
Port Angeles in a 'boat that had
brought a pilot to the Texan. After
a fierce battle with the surf the boat
reached the shore.
The Impatient reporter Jumped In
to the water without waiting for the
boat to land. He fell and was'cover
ed with mud. Scrambling to his feet
he ran to the telegraph office as fast
as his legs could carry him.
On receipt of the "flash" the plates
of the Post-Intelligencer city edition
were killed. New ones containing
Wishaar's story were made in record
time and although the paper was a
little late, all the subscribers got the
news from Port Angeles. A later edi
tion contained further details.
Mr. Wlshaar remuined at Port An-1
geles till the departure of the sound
steamer Alice Gertrude, which he
boarded for Seattle, arriving there on
the afternoon of January 26 and de
spite his hard work and lack of sleep
for many hours Mr. Wlshaar wrote
the full story of the wreck and the
Interviews with the survivors for the
next day's paper.
Mr. Curtis, the photographer, had
remained on the Topeka discharging
the duties of both photographer and
reporter. Frederick L. Earp, of the
Post-Intelligencer staff, was sent to
Port Townsend January 25. The To
peka stopped and took him aboard
there the next morning. On the trip
down to Seattle other Interviews were
obtained with survivors who had been
too weak to talk to Mr. Wlshaar.
Mr. Earp and Mr. Curtis arrived In
Seattle after 6 o'clock a. m. January
26. Their story was written, the
photographs of the survivors and
scenes of rescue taken by Mr. Curtis
wero developed, etchings made, stere
otyped nnd printed and the papers
were on the streets nt 9:15 that morn
ing with the first photographs rclat
ing to the wreck printed In any news
paper. Pressure for time did not permit
full use of Mr. Curtis' work, but on
Saturday morning, with time for de
vclopment and miltablo enlargement,
the Post-Intelligencer made a presen
tation of the product of Its art and
mechanical departments of which the
management felt It had reason to be
proud.

FIDDLING AWAY.
The- Case of Helix nnd Other Nearby
Towns Cited ng an Example.
The advertiser who Is fiddling
away on old strings should sit up and
take notice. ,
Circulation has become a definite
thing, a definite force a matter of
facts and figures.
Circulation either does cover Its
field or It does not.
The East Oregonian Goes Into moBt
of the Pendleton homes besides hav
ing a circulation throughout the coun
try of which we are very proud. Ow
ing to the fact that the semi-weekly
goes to practically every Intelligent
farmer within a radius of B0 miles
and that those more distant take the
Weekly East Oregonian, this paper
covers the field far more thoroughly
than any other newspaper. Just as
an example of why the East Oregon
ian Is taken in preference to other
papers, especially morning papers, the
case of Helix can be cited. We have
69 subscribers In Helix for the East
Oregonian.. 20 of which are for the
Daily and the rest for the Semi
Weekly. This Is several times as
many as any other paper. The train
leaves Pendleton for Helix at 5 p. m..
putting the Dally East Oregonian In
Helix at 8 o'clock, or two hours after
It Is tosued, When, the morning pa
pers arrive there their news Is an
cient history, hence the Insignificant
number of persons who take the
morning paper. The same Is true of
Adams, Athenn, Weston, Milton and
Freewater. The same Is true here In
Pendleton, as the paper In the morn
ing must of necessity repeat what has
already been told the evening before
I nthc East Oregonian, which being
printed nt the close of the day, gives
the news the day It happens.
Circulation brings results to the ad
vertiser when it Is home circulation,
paid circulation nnd if the paper is
read for Its news value.
The East Oregonian Is all this and
the intelligent advertiser knows It.
If you are not making a sufficient
use of our columns Increase your
spice and give proper attention to the
composition vof your advertising and
you will Increase your business. The
E. O. covers the field.
