LaDieu Circulation Manager Without a doubt th. heads o,f th. editorial department of Th. News attrlbut. Ha rapid growth to their own particular efforts. Th. aecret of th. development of this news paper Is traceable, aa la th. caa. with all successful publications, di rectly to th. .Irculntlon end. This la a etatement to ba accepted as seriously aa on. wishes. But more seriously: Th. News Is fortunately altuatcd. It Is hours ahead of th. reat of th. field, local and outldo, In Ite service outside th. city. The earn, mail that carries evening papers of th. day before carries Tho News of the morning following. Th. readers in a wide territory outside of Klamath Falls appreciate thl. fact. Papers published In lh. Bay counties of California and In Port land and other Oregon points, are from 24 to 38 hours behind The News. So It la without egotism that I aay that circulation has contributed no erriall har. to the success cele brated at thla anniversary. In a long exp.rlenc. with the cir culation end of nowspapers I hav. never seen s greater public response to a newspaper's support than has been manifest thla past year. Clr cnlatlon of Th. New. has ln"e"e 220 per cent. th. figures for which will b. presented elsewhere. This Is nothing short of marvelous. And The News now leads in circulation In Klamath county. Whatever 'circulation has not done has been accomplished by the edi torial department.. Credit must also be Riven to the business man agement. Th. advertising carried has been exceptional. But more Important Th. public is quick lo recognize good newspaper. Piggly Wiggly Th. Klamath New. ' Gentlemen Hlnc. coming to Klamath Fall, wa bar. adv.rti.ed In th Nwa extenalvely.

May you have many aucceasful birthda?B. E. HARDBNBROOK, Th. Blue Bird AND LARGE By Lynn Zimmerman, Advertising Anliuni Th. editor-in-chief haa asked m. to writ, about three hundred words in criticism of my paper now If ha had asked m. to write a trltlclam of him or of the advertising manager I could sit me down with the greatest of ease and pick them both to pieces as a means of revenge for the many railings received from them. I could write volumea about th. naKRlng disposition of my advertis ing manager but what good would It do It would never get Into print; and I would derive much glee In tolling the world how cruel the managing editor Is In his treatment to me how he haa refused me a raise thro. tlra. In a "get back to tho manglo Llx" ton. of voice. But tho "News" my paper well, that's different. I think we have the splfflest paper In the country, of course I think sometimes our edi tors and reporters write like they're full of hop and that the manager of the circulation department ahonld be shot at aunrlB. but gosh, that Isn't th. paper'a fault. The paper s doing Ifa darndest to make men of them-Just glv. It time dear public. They have to crawl before tbey can walk. Wo' hav. th. best back shop, the fellows that turn out the paper.- In the country bt mT n4,r " "ray and deep furrows are worn in my youthful hrow trying to keep ithe oya from feeding me ground glass on account of the aa vertlsiag copy I shoot out to them. When th.

We wish to convey our hearty congratulations on this, your flrat birthday and anniversary.

Public Market The Klamath News, Klamath Falls, Oregon. Gentlemen Best wishes on this your first birthday, and congratula tions npon the remarkable success you hav. had In ao short a period. Wa have used your paper aa an advertising medium exclusively tor ' the past year, and would like to aay now, that the returns have been most gratifying. Sincerely, E. L. CRAMBLITT, Public Market. Charles F. Hunt City Editor "Charlie," aa he la affectionately known in The News office, was overseas for four years. He served aa an excitement-loving American with the 48th Highlanders, 15th battalion, third brigade, flrat Can adian division, etc. Incidentally, he has a medal or two, but as ho is a modest Individual, wo .won't say much about that. It was at Vlmy ridge. There was hell that day. Eighteen of the 40 thousand Canadian troops fell be fore Vlmy rldgo was captured. Charlie Hunt had been at the front two long years without a scratch until the allies bogan the advance against the Germans entrenched on Vimy. He wont over the "top with the others and went down. One bullet shattered his wrist, an other was broken on the ateel mir ror over his heart, and th third tore through his cartridge belt, ex ploding fifteen of them. He waa ordered to tho hospital, and tramp ed thre. miles' through th. mud to the dressing station. Did you read that editorial on Armistice day In The News? Charlie Hunt wrote It. He felt what he wrote, had lived K. But DeS Pardon. There was no Intention of fighting the European war over again. With his fighting staff on on. hand and the composing mom force on the other. Charlie Hunt 4s be tween two fires. At times it ap pears as if Vlmy ridge were a minor engagement. FOIBLES, FANCIES HI-YU CHIEFTAINS Ben H. Stevenson Managing KUItor Short and Sweet. That describes blm as well aa this sketch. Except that his pleasant exterior la camouflage for more than stature. .In fact, short, sharp ntterascea and ' order, are ao well suppressed that the staff lives In dread of the day he will break forth and say what he really thinks. His striking peculiarity. In com mon with moat "M. E.'s" Is that he - knowa what he wants. And if ha can't get some else to do it for him he knows how to do it for himself. He can sweep the floor, set typo, run 7.) a linotype, solicit and write ads; write stories and editorials, hire and fire; soothe ruffled feelings and make new friends, and keep old ones. As a schoolboy in knee pants, a quarter century since, he spent his idle hours around the print shop with his father in Hailey, Idaho. He bad beard someone say they liked the smell of printer's ink, ,and so kept poking his fingers in It. His father gave him some type to play with; showed him how to pile them In a "stick," and make the funny things say aomethlng. Thereafter, young Ben was ruined for l.fe. Now h. plays with t'je entire newspaper. In his pocket he carries a card ahowing him to have been an active member of the Typographical Union. He haa another card Indicating that be paid his dollar to the Red Cross. The rest of his stuff he carries in his head. - Nate Otterbein. President The less said about Nate Otter bein, president of the Klamath News Publishing company, the bet ter. He says he doesn't like publi city, and he says It just like be means just that, and not that he loves It. Nate signs, the checks and that is very apt to carry some weight when added to what he merely says. Anyhow Those who know Nate will swear to the truth of the statement that he likes to fish. That Is putting it mildly. He is not only a fan, but a fishing fanatic. It is also recorded in these columns that the managing editor likes to fish. Both endeavor to steal enough time from, this pub lishing company to satiate them- selves with their favorite sport. When one happens to be on the Job and looking vainly for the other one the rest of the staff knows the answer. Whether or no the paper really suffers during the open sea son, is however, left to the Judg ment of the readers. . Yes. Nate Otterbein Is really sup posed to do some work. He tickles the ivories of a linotype machine during the day time. An endeavor Is made to pile bis hook high with copy for it he runs out he Is gone fishing. Recently It was consid ered necessary to get out an extra edition, but there was only an empty copy hook where the worthy president was supposed to be. Watch Hook "Keep that copy hook tilled or I'll put something on my own hook," he says. - If on Monday, or on any day fol lowing his frequent disapperances, Nate appears looking grouchy and with a gruff- tone In hia voice the staff knows Nate has made no suc cessful overtures to the fish. Then they call him Mr. Otterbein, quite respectfully. No one seems to for get who signs the cheeks. . But when the Otterbelns have' had a mess of fish Nate will stand for the Whistling Refuses and female Galll Curci's all , about him, and smile right on. Nate came Into this country astride a mule. He stopped to fish, alas! The mule took to his heels In response to a call from a band of wild horses, and Kate has been here ever since. There was nothing for Nate to do but stake out a homestead out Poe Valley way. Somewhere he had learned the printing business and later he went to work for tho old Herald when it was owned by Murray and Smith. Also, ho had. learned to write, because he signs the checks. Early Riser David Totteh, a hlsh school stu dent, gets up In the wee sraa' hours, finds his way . to The News office, and does the mailing. Ho Is fin ished before the rest of us have be gun to ynwn. AND FAULTS OF OF DAILY NEWS Byron H. Hurd Vlce-l'rrwidVnt Thla unfortunate individual has to stay in San Francisco. It will be noted in these columns that he holds the r-ack. in other words la the good angel of The Klamath News. If anyone la entitled to the appellation Mister In these writings a sane scribe would couple it up with him. But he is not that kind of a fellow. In other words, he Is real and human. Aside from the fact that h. Is a successful business man, there la nothing derogatory we can say about him. He ha. a way of jumping up here over the week-ends. And he wants to know all about this newspaper, fancy that. He sleeps both ways, it is oaid, but be has not been known to doie while here. Neither has anyone else, during the all night executive and etockholdera' sessions. After Hurd' departs, President Otterbeln, Treasurer Btronach and Managing Editor Stevenson go to bed for two days. Hurd haa his ambition. He wants to come to Klamath Falls. It is understood he will be a resi dent of the best jountry in the world before long. Walter West Business Manager Our business manager, aside from merely keeping the books straight, has a pet hobby. His pastime is an earnest effort to bring the Northern lines into Klamath Falls. Right across the desk from the business manager sits Ben Steven son, the managing editor. It might be mentioned in passing that the name of the business manager is Walter West. Stevenson has his own Ideas about railroad development of the Klam ath country. It has been noticed that he believes the Southern Pacific program is of paramount importance to Klamath. The railroad hearing at Portland was a tame affair compared to the conversations that finds its way across the said West-Stevenson desk. Late reporta from the front office are to the effect that West has re signed his position at the desk If not his hobby. It appears that Stev enson won the argument. Anyhow, West moved his half of the desk out in the main office Aside from his efforts to do mis sionary work on behalf of the North ern lines. West Is amiably disposed toward the rest of the staff, and la a8 well liked in return. Before coming to The News with his railroad propaganda he was office manager for the Shaw-Bertram Lumber company.' Prior to that he was for seven years with the S. P. & S. R. R. Co. Ah! Secrets will out. The S. P. ft S. R. R. Co. owns the Oregon Trunk. West was field accountant for the United States Railroad Administration when It np aet and disorganixed the transporta tion systems of the country during the war. i Once upon a time he came from Kentucky. J. W. O'Brien, ! (VnitcO. News Operator) Our wire operator came into be ing what! He refuses to state. Just says that he started handling the wire back in '86.' And strangely enough that was with the old United News back in Peoria, HI. That organization was disbanded and the present United News is something new and better under the same name. In his 38 years at the wire he has had passed under his fingers the pathos, humor and tragedy of the world, much of which has made history. As a youngster the first story ho remembers was the day he copied off the wire the dispatches telling of the hanging of the six anarchists of the Haymarket riots in Chicago. "There goes Parsons. Now they're bringing put Smith," sang ' out the wires from dispatchers at the scene of the executions. O'Brien was taking the story, copying It down with a stylus in the days bo tore the typewriter was In general useJ So vivid was the wire story and so Intense the excitement of those gathered around ' the tele graph key that It almost proved too much for the young operator. But he is a veteran now, and can listen to cuckoos around the office and the sounder at the same time and not seem to be annoyed.
