With this issue the News Record becomes a twice-a-week paper, a sign of the growth and development of Wallowa county and the progressive spirit of Enterprisa, the county seat. : The growth of tha paper, its circuia tlon and advertising, as well as Its j news features, are only keeping pace, j in our judgment, with the splendid field of the paper Wallowa county. . , The changes in the paper will be left to speak for themselves. There are still other changes and Improve ments to come and they, too, will be left to speak for themselves. It is not the habit of the News Record to "blow Its own horn," being con tent if It li understood by our read ers that wo are endeavoring to put out the best county paper In Oregon. The twlce-a-week paper will be dat ed Wednesdays and Saturdays, but will go to pre3s Tuesday and Friday afternoons on account of the mall service. The colored supplement fea ture will begin with the issue of Sat urday, January 18, and will be a part of each Saturday edition thereafter. County news letters will be a spec ial feature of thlspapor, and If any part of this big county is unrepre sented In our columns, we will ba Klad to hear from same one who will correspond. The price of the Twice a-Week News Record hai beon made as low, ?2.2."i, as tho co it of gattlng out the paper will permit. The colored sup plement is a high-priced feature, but It Is worth all l:s cost in the de light of the children. In order that all o.ir suts.rlbers, thosa at a distance ai well as those at homo, may have equal opportunity to renow their subscription at tho old rate, $1.50 a year, the new rate will not go into effect for yearly subscrip tions until February 1. Until that date, the price of the Nows Record is $1.50 for a year, $t.2! for six months, 25 cents one month. ANOTHER 8PECIAL FEATURE. A first-class serial story will be another special feature of each is sue of the News Record, the series to start next Saturday, January 9, with "Mystery of the Yellow Room," the greatest of modern mystery sto ries. This story alone has placed Its author as tho equal of the cre ator of Sherlock Holmes, In that line of literary work. The mystery Is ab solutely unfathomable by any reader unfamiliar with the story until the last chapters. You can't explain the mystery or guess the criminal, until Uouletabllle draws away the veil. Don't start to read this story mile is you Intend taking the paper until It U completed, about 18 weeks, or you will be compelled to come In and re new your subscription In spite of swearing off New Years. That's what we bought the story for. And, by the way, a new serial be gins on the inside pages (ready print) 'of this paper Don't start to read it, as it will not be completed in this paper. Before the News Record docided on going to all home print, the Inside pages were contracted for and will be usei for two weks yet. So the story, "Aunt Diana," will n it to completed in the News Record. WHAT THE LABEL TELLS. The label on your Now Record gives your name as It Ij on our sub scription bojka, the month and year your subscription expires. All sub- acriptlons expire on the last day of the month. Thus: Robinson ' John Dec, 08. means that John Rob- j lnson's subscription expires on De- cember 31, 1908. Jan. 10 means Jan- uary 31, 1910, and is the date tj which John. Robinson's sabicriptioa ' will be alvanced if he pays $1.50 be j fore February lrt next. I Look at the label on your paper; it tells to when you are credited on our books. THE NEW YEAR.
