MAIL AVID PHONE onpHR. FILLED :
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1920-02-13

Charles 3. Hopkins, pioneer news
paper man Of eastern Washington, al
though for years resident OF Tacoma,
died at Rochester, Mimi, last week.
In the latter 70s Mr.. Hopkins started
the Colfax Gazette, the first paper to
be published north OF the Snake river,
in conjunction with l.. 4. Kellogg, now
was not in the newspaper business
long, for he had too much sense to
stick to business in which financial
success above a fair living was not to
be expected. About that time the tele-
phone was just being introduced into
eastern Washington and Mr.. Hopkins
conceived the idea OF establishing long
distance lines with the central office
at Cslfax. lie secured two govern ment
telephone lines, one OF them the line
from Spokane Falls to old Fort Spo-
kane, and commenced linking up net
work of wires through the STATE east
OF the Cascades. About the time he
had his venture well under way Mr..
Hopkins line was absorbed by the
Bell telephone company, and he be-
came connected with that great corpo-
ration. Mr.. Hopkins was the father OF
the long distance telephone line that
now reaches in the most remote cor
ners and byways Of the state, building
better than he knew. He had the fore
sight to grasp the possibilities OF the
telephone and take advantage OF the
opportunity to establish a long dist
ance system. Outside Of his telephone
activities Mr.. Hopkins took an active
part in the politics Of the state. He
was one of the prominent republican
leaders of the state, and In the OLD
days no convention was considered
complete unless Charlie Hopkins was
on hand. We have known the deceased
since the early spring OF 1888. and
though We met only at long intervals
for many years the friendship formed
at that time was never broken. Per-
sonally Charlie Hopkins was a genial
and most likeable gentleman, valu-
able citizen and loyal American. lie
had a multitude Of friends throughout
the state who will long and sincerely
mourn his untimely taking off.
