East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-04-30

Pendleton for its size is one of the
best known towns in the northwest.
Several things have contributed to-
ward bringing 1t and keeping 1t before
the public.
Probably the Moorhouse pictures
Union as we'll as to many foreign
countries is one of the principal
causes of Pendleton being so widely
known.
Another thing that served to adver-
tise Pendleton very widely was the
celebrated Pendleton blanket which
was so vigorously advertised by c. J..
Ferguson and which was so favorably
received wherever it was introduced.
The location of the head offices Of
/ the Women of Woodcraft in this city
with their Vast correspondence over
the northwest, is another factor that
has helped to make our city known.
Still another factor is the location
| of the A. C. Ruby stables here. From
all over the northwest horse buyers
| come to Pendleton to select imported
stations, and sheep buyers and wool
buyers come here from everywhere,
buyers come here from everywhere.
These institutions have helped spread
the fame and good name of our city
throughout the world, but there is an
other agency that has contributed
largely to introduce the fame of PEN
dleton throughout the whole west and
middle west that is often overlooked.
It Is the East Oregonian.
Strangers who have seen the East
oregonian are greatly surprised when
they com to Fendleton for the first
time. why, thought you had a city
of $4,000 or $4,000" they exclaim.
You rarely see a paper like the East
Oregonian in city of less than that
size. You are certainly giving the
people a splendid newspaper" they
add. And it is true.
Not only has the East Oregonian by
far the largest circulation of any pa
per in Umatilla county, but it tells the
message of Umatilla county to a
large number of states and foreign
countries.
Ed Serrell, who went to Nashult,
Sweden. last week from this city. had
the paper sent there for a year. A
large list is sent to Alberta, Canada.
Ed Besthorn, who is in Germany, gets
the E. o. regularly, so does ]. A. Borie,
down I'm Mexico, and Rev w. E, Pot.
wine, In the Hawaiian Islands.
It Will no doubt be a surprise to
many of our readers to know that the
East oregonian has subscribers in the
following states on the semi-weekly
list alone. as the semi-weekly miscel-
,.r.,,,- list alone was used in making
the list below,
In addition to this, of course, there
are many of like nature on the
/ weekly and daily lists, but the one list
quoted will serve as an illustration.
Many of these people are persons who
formerly lived here or are others who
are intending to come west and are
taking a western paper to become IA
miIiar with conditions in the west.
We have subscribers in the follow
Oregonian: California, Pennsylvania
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Virginia
Iowa, Alberta, Ohio, Texas, Illinois
Missouri. louisiana New York, Colo
rado, British Columbia, New Jersey
Kansas, Florida, Arizona, Alaska, In

Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklaho

This certainly spreads the fame o
Umatilla broadcast. In addition to thi
there is scarcely a week goes by bu
what we receive requests from al
over the United States for sampl
copies by intending settlers. The fac
of the matter is that one of the bes
assets a town can have is good wide
awake, progressive newspaper.
The town and the enterprise Of tn
merchants is frequently judged by tn
kind Of a newspaper the town sup
