MF STORIES ON WHAT THEY THINK OF
flAMATH NEWS TAKEN BY
By A. E. 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.

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. "sot up msn pnts
Houston and Jester's ad in npald.
d0wn-I hav. to toll them that s
good advertising th. public likes
It and out of curiosity they "M
turn It up sld. down then I have
to trail over to H. ft. J. and Warns
it on the back shop and take It ail
in all I lead a dog's life but
like It.

' Confidentially, I bare my opinion

ometiroe. wonder why tb.y print

But from th. advertiser's aide,
which I am moat Intoreated In, I

Gentlemen. We wish to convey
our hearty congratulations on this,

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.

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.
