THE NEW NEWS RECORD.
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.
