Aak druf lilt for OYSTEX undrr moniy-back guar- paper under the banner of the Amity Standard. Instituted as the first paper in Amity on May 20, 1892, as "The Amity Popgun," it was the offi cial organ of Yamhill County. The Popgun maintained a strict ly non-partisan view on politics, religion and temperance. R. A. Harris was editor and J. B. Long, business manager. . The Popgun was one of several firsts credited to Long. A year earlier he had established Amity s first photographers studio in a tent and was also the possessor of the first automobile in Amity. Harris and Long, on issuance of the paper, expressed a desire that "The Pop gun would be favorably received with no wounds inflicted from it's shots." Subscriptions to the Pop gun were $1.50 a year in advance or $2.00 if paid at the end of the year,- Competition Comes Shortly after the institution of the Popgun. Amity with a popu lation of 400 boasted three weekly newspapers, all weeklies: The Pop gun, Oregon Blade and the Valley Times. The Oregon Blade and the Valley Times both ceased publica tion before the turn of the century. In December 1904, the paper was issued as the Amity Advance with John jr. Yost, editor. On April 8, 1910, under the own ership of W. C. DePcw the first. issue as the Amity Standard went to press. DePew not only changed the name, but also the non-partisan policy. As an oldtimcr commented Mr. DePcw was Republican and so was the Standard." Unltype Installed C. J. LcMastcrs took the helm in 1912. installing a Unitype and employing H. J. Richter to assist him with the eight-page weekly. In 1917 Richter purchased the Standard and published it until his death on May 13, 1949. Mrs. Rich ter and her uncle, Adolphus Rca, then issued the Standard until July 1949, when Mrs. Richter sold it to Mr. Stamper, who also published a paper in Ncwbcrg and one in Dayton. This began an era when t h e Amity Standard changed editors and publishers too ottcn to record. In 1054 P. K. Meeker took charge of the Standard, employing a succession of editors to publish it, the last of whom was Paul Long. Mr. Meeker ran the Stand ard as a civic project for the peo ple of Amity, not as a private en terprise, but the Amity Standard born in the 'horse and buggy' era could not withstand the jet age. It is with sincere regret that we rec ord its demise. Chemical Shipments Arrive Safe and Sound... via S. P. & S. Ry.
