Under Various Ownerships, Paper

Journals in Southern Ore.
Added Features to be Used When Six Page Paper Be
comes Fact. Tidings Contracts Fpr Several New
Features Which Will Add Life to Paper.
(BY F. D. WAGNER)
W ith the installation and operation of The Tidings’
new newspaper press, a program of extension and im
provement was simultaneously started, which the man
agement feels certain will gradually develop into even
further extensions and improvements for The Tidings.
During the last year The Tidings occasionally has
been crowded on certain days of the week, particularly
on Fridays, which has forced the leaving out pf news
m atter so that ay advertisements could be included in
the four pages. I t was difficult to switch from four to
six pages on short notice, hut with the present press
equipment, which perm its more flexibility^ it will be
easy to switch from four to six or eight pages whenever
the amount of advertising justifies.
Temporarily, three issues each week, probably Wed
nesday, Thursday and F riday will be six pages, while the
other issues of Saturday, Monday and Tuesday will re
main four pages, as at present, untjil advertising in"
creases to justify six pages also on the three days last
mentioned.
Thia increase on three day«
of the week will permit the use
df several new features for which
The Tidings has contracted.
Among the features which will
be used In the Blx-page Issues,
anti whenever possible in the four-
page Issues, are the following:
A woman' page each Thursday,
combining Society Notes, and.
other features Interesting to wo
men.

The story of the Ashland
Tidings is the storv of Ash
land. The files of this naper
covering a period of almost
fiftv years contain the most
authentic and the most com
plete. history of the com
munity that is in existence.
¿The villago folks who first
established
their hopies
around the old mill on the
hunks of the beautiful moun
tain stream they called Ash
land Creek, it is safe to say,
never dreamed of paved
streets and nine store build
ings as features of their little
settlement in the Siskiyou
foothills. The founder» of
the Tidings perhaps never
had even a dnh vision of a
web perfecting press and
linotypes in their office. But
these things have come to
pass nevertheless. W hat his
tory the files of the Tidings
during the next fifty years
will make is another story.
This story is of the past and
particularly of the Tidings’
past.
The initial issue of the Ashland
Tidings was dated Jane 17^1874.
