CHANGE IN LEADER MANAGEMENT.
With this issue of the Leader
I). J. DuBruille severs his business
relations with the paper, having
transferred his stock in the amount
of a one-half interest in the paper
and plant to his associate, W . C.
Conner, who again becomes owner
and sole manager of the paper and
business connected therewith.
Mr. DuBruille is not fully de
cided on his future movements,
but he will probably engage in
some other occupation iu this city.
The business and social relations
existing between the writer and
Mr. DuBruille during our two
years management of the Leader
h ave been most agreeable and it is
with a feeling of deep regret that
fate has decreed the severance of
these pleasant, mutual ties. The
writer has found Mr. DuBruille to
be a practical all-round newspaper
man, a painstaking business man
ager, a most companionable asso
ciate aud a gentleman in every
sense o f the word.
The change will effect in nowise
the principles and policies o f the
Leader. As in the past it will be
fearless and outspoken upon all
issues effecting the wellfare o f the
citizens of Cottage Grove, and the
public generally. It will be no

secret as to where the Leader
stands on important and vital, lo
cal, state and natioual -questions
However, while outspoken in op
position to all manners of corrup
tion, law violation and immorality,
the Leader will be found broad and
liberal, at all times according to
others the free exercise o f their
rights and privileges and at the
same time holding due respect for
their honest convictions, aithough
at variance with our own.
The writer has grown up from
boyhood in this community, is fa
miliar with its needs and require
ments, and has been connected
with this paper a greater portion
of the time since its establishment
21 years ago. All o f our interests
are here, home aud business, hence
it is natural to suppose that the
Leader will be found at all times
true to the interests o f Cottage
Grove aud the vast rich territory
tributary thereto, embracing the
proposed Nesmith county.
During the past two years the
business aud circulation of the
Leader has grown greatly, much
to the gratification of the manage
ment. Many substantial improve
ments have been made in the
plant aud paper aud not coutent to
stand still, greater improvements
are in contemplation for the ensu
ing year, providing a continuation
o f the same liberal share of pat
ronage is accorded the paper by
the enterprising business and pro
fessional men of Cottage Grove
and vicinity, as well as our large
and growing family o f readers.
Since Cottage Grove has already
been conspicuously "put on the
map, ” the next greatest ambition
of the Leader and its most earnest
and vigorous endeavor will tie to
put Nesmith county on the map,
thereby contributing substantially
toward making a greater Cottage
Grove and a greater Oregon, a
reality.
