The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1910-10-07

Ezzazzzz BOthel regular,
readable and reliable weekly newspaper which, like
all community papers, fills a field peculiar to It
SELF and cannot be robbed of it, even by the invasion
of the metropolitan daies. The local weekly paper or
any community is always essential to the happiness
and convenience of said community if not in many IN
stances it's commercial growth, and this is especially
true when the local paper becomes thoroughly dentl-
fed with the community and each week gives the
news of the community fair and impartally MR.
Gregory is endeavoring to give Boutwell, just SUCH
paper and he is making brilliant success OF the un-
dertakng. For years he the publisher OF the Ar
gus at Auburn and it is recorded that he made as
high as ST. 500 net in year out of the paper which
sum meant more than twice that amount, made by
city publisher In his location he owns splen-
did home with an acre and half of rich soil about 1t
and on this he raises all the vegetables his family can
use He has sufficient number of chickens to give
him the necessary eggs he needs for his household ana
a cow in the barn furnishes the milk His printing
office is on one of the property and he is there
fore without house or office rent He not only pub
fishes paper but he does the job work of the COM
munty and also gets some work from the great CITY,
Being almost without living expenses all he takes IN
from the paper and the jUb office be laid away at
ter the necessary expenses for running the same have
been paid. Being of the Roosevelt type he has chill
dren and is able to give his children lucrative employ
ment at home out of which they realize more than
if they were in the city working for big wages Mr.
Gregory may not at this time be realizing as much
money out of his business he did out of his Auburn
plant but if he is able to realize only $40 per month
above his running expenses owing to the status OF his
living expenses, he is able to put away more for
'rany day. than the city publisher who realizes Sl5O
per month over and above his running expenses.
At recent sessions of the State Press Association
plans were put on foot to have the association cee
brate the fteth anniversary of the launching of the
Washington Standard by John Miller Murphy at Oym-
pia which will take place November 18th. 1t can be
said without fear of successful contradiction that The
Standard is the very best country paper published in
in the state of Washington
When the Bothell Sentinel tells us of Mr.. Smell,
who has green strawberries in his patch and hopes to
see them rpen before snow flies it to the editor
hereof that, Editor Gregory has not only abandoned
his white ribbon vows but is mixing his drinks.
Perhaps the South Bend Journal activity supported
the Hon. Miles Poindexter for SENATOR but if it did its
readers were compelled to read of its activity be-
tween the lines Editor Hazletine it occurs to US,
was afraid to be for any one for long, long time
and after the Tacoma convention he shyly endorsed
Poindexter, but he out and says he was an
active supporter He supported PoindeXter when he
got promise from Poindexter that he Hazetne could
handle the federal patronage of the Southwest.
