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-
