The following interview with
Paul Robinson, former editor of
Vernonia Eagle and now editor
of the North Bonneville News,
appeared recently in the columns
of the Portland Journal:
•
Paul Robinson is secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce of
North Bonneville and is also edi
tor of the North Bonnevile News.
“I started the paper here on
October 5,” said Mr. Robinson.
“At that time there were only a
few hastily built shacks here. To
day we have 82 completed build
ings and a population of about
500.
“I like pioneering. I like to
move to new communities and
to feel the optimism and to take
part in community activities. A
new town, such as North Bonne
ville, gathers men from all over.
They have to have optimism and
courage, or they would not be
willing to come and start from
the ground up and help build the
community. Most of them realize
the value of teamwork and know
that in helping the growth of the
town they are helping themselves
as well as their fellow citizens.
“I was born in Grasshopper
Falls, Kas., on February 17, 1878.
A man named Cody lived there.
He was the brother of Buffalo
Bill’s father, so William F. Cody,
or ‘Buffalo Bill,’ as he was called
frequently came there to visit his
uncle.
“I smelled printer’s ink from
the time I was a little chap. My
father, A. W. Robinson, who was
born in Pennsylvania, was run
ning a paper when I was born,
and he is still running a paper
in Kansas. He is 87 years old
and is editing and publishing the
La Crosse Republican. He is the
oldest active newspaper man in
Kansas. One of my brothers has
a newspaper in Oklahoma and
another has one in Kansas. I
started as a printer’s devil on
the Valley Falls New Era, at
Valley Falls, Kas. I came west
27 years ago and started a paper
at the Old Mission, near Wen
atchee. We changed the name

Tacoma. After the armistice I
went to Oregon, bought the
Banks Herald at Banks, Or., and
ran it two years. I then bought
the Aurora Observer, and still
later established the Vernonia
Eagle, at Vernonia, Or. I ran
this paper five years. That was
where you and I first met, when
you dropped in to see me at
Vernonia.
“I was married at Banks on
April 1, 1920, to Mrs. Clara
Stratton Heltzel, who at that time
was a widow with four children.
From Vernonia we moved to
Portland, and from Portland we
moved to North Bonneville when
the big dam was assured. The
postoffice at present is at Mof
fetts Springs, about a mile dis
tant, but that postoffice will be
discontinued and the postoffice
moved here and located on Roose
velt avenue.
