The News Changes Ownership
I have sold the Falls City News
to Mr. D. L. Wood, a newspaper
man from Oklahoma, who will
take possession June 1. 1914.
Mr. Wood is a publisher o f ex­
perience who comes highly rec­
ommended, and no doubt he will
improve The News to meet the
requirements o f this rapidly de­
veloping section o f Oregon.
The sale involves the transfer
o f the printing plant, subscription
list, good will and business o f the
paper.
All unpaid advertising accounts
due prior to and including this
date are payable to the under­
signed.
All debts contracted on behalf
o f The News prior to this date
will be paid by the undersigned.
It iswith mingled feelingsof re­
gret and pleasure that these words
are written. Regret for having
to leave this beautiful and pros­
perous little city, pleasure that I
have been able to gain and retain
the friendship and good will of
the people o f Falls City.
No plans have been made for
the immediate future, though it
will be necessary to remain here
for several weeks in order to set­
tle up private andofficial business.
Having severed my connection
with The News, and wishing you
all happiness, prosperity and long
life, I subscribe myself,
A Friend o f Falls City,
C h as . W . L e e .
The U. o f 0 . school o f journal­
ism has demonstrated a fact that
was already well known to many
men who have been long engag­
ed in newspaper work. Only a
small percentage o f the number
who “ take journalism” become
real ‘newspaper’ men, and that the
young man who seriously “ wants
to be an editor” will do so, school
or no school. Unless the school
gives practical instruction along
correct lines, its graduates will
not be worthy wieldness o f the
most powerful weapon known to
man. The school has a mission,
however, in this, that if it helps
to a more general diffusion of
knowledge concerningthe duties,
powers and rights o f the press
it will amply justify its existence.
The institution surrounded by
mystery and hedged in by ignor­
ance is dangerous to liberty.
The better one understands the
power o f the press the less in­
clined he will be to use, or to allow
others to use that power for the
perpretation or perpetuation of
wrong. _______________
