THE COLUMBIAN'S “OBITUARY'
Aqcoriliug to data at hand, The Columbian was bom 33 years ago, aud with this Issue it passes out of existence. Jack Paco, an ambitious young newspaper man from Helena started Tlio Columbian. A few years later a man by the name- of |Hendrickson took possession, __after a few years he sold the plant to H. Laeuger: The next was H. L. Gloyd. He later formed a partnership with a Ross Hargrave, but this paiftnorshlp loetori: only a few months, when Hargrave vocauiu me sole Owner. w ithin two years he sold the paper to the present owner.
During the fifteen and a half years we havo published' The ¿Columbian we have attempted to give the town of Columbia Falls and our readers the very best of which we were capable. K>. doubt we have made mistakes In many ways; we have pleased some and disappointed others, hut our conscience j.s
ir in the knowledge that hare tried to do our beat.
T h^sam e faith In a bigger and ■re prosperous community, which
has served to keep the fires of hope burning, Is still with us. and we are confident that some day will see Columbia Falls one of the leading cities of Western Montana. It has all the natural advantages to Justify such hopes, and It Is only a question of time when the town will tako on the growth and develop-
prosperous commonwealth.
Tu thut little hand of consistent and faithful workers, who are al- iwriys willing to put lorth their beet efforts for any and every movement Intended to udvauce the community, we extend encouragement and best wishes. To the advertisers, subscribers and friends who have given us their support In making possible the publication of The Columbian, we ure sincerely thankful. We want you «11 to know that leaving the community we do with keen regrets and with nothing of malice or bitterness in our heart. The opportunities offered In a larger field is the only reason for moving away. We had hoped U alble to sell The' Columbian to
publlehcr aud thus continue the publication, but In this we have utterly failed.
It hae been said tha t folks who move away always return. This may prove true In our case, and it would be strange if It did not. Coming bore in 1909. we have announc-
news columns of the Columbian the birth of your babies.
have watched them work thru school, attended their *radtK*tii
them start < their life’s journey. We havo se<
of them prow from childhood to manhood and womanhood, seen them lyarrled and now have children of their own. Wo \hav;e shared their Joys and soiVows, triumphs: and failures. We have written hundreds of birth notices and chronicled the passing of your dear ones.
there Is a tug at our away
Hern printing office that can under-sell your home printer a few cents, pass
Then we advise the people of the community to stand by those merchants who support and make possible the publishing of the newspaper. Whenever this policy Is adopted, there wjli be no difficulty In securing some publisher in Columbia Falls.
In going to Whiteflsh to start a. new paper, we ure entering a field not entirely new to us, as we wrire in the printing business there taro yours before coming here. There la. much consolation to us In knowing that we are not leaving the Flathead, but will be ln-close touch with old frlunds. Until auch til as another newspaper stafts here, we want to servo Columbia Falls
every possible way in The location. Besides the long years of residence ami maiiy friends, wie.still retain ownership of property here and will always hold a certain In
in the town's growth and welfare.
In closing let us say that latch-«tring in WhiteflBh will wjays be on the' outside for Columbia FallB folks, and we hope you will call anil see us In our new home.
Goodby, and good luck to every-
