with Mr. Bartley, exchanging his interest in the Spectator for the Masonic Analyst. Under the new ownership the Spectator has been made a monthly publication. Under the changes the Spectator has retained much of its original flavor, though reflecting widely different personalities in the several editors. All have been assisted by Miss Beatrice M. Locke, University of Oregon graduate (Mrs. Cicero Hawkins), who is managing editor. Mr. Hume's active daily newspaper work brought him into association in Chicago with such journalistic geniuses as Finley Peter Dunne, Eugene Field, E. D. Cowen.
Besides the German-language press, discussed elsewhere, foreign-language newspapers in Portland include the Columbia Record, Italian, founded in 1930; La Stella, 1922, also an Italian weekly; the Oregon News, Japanese daily, which has been running since 1904, and the Svenska Posten, Swedish weekly, running since 1908.
The Timberman, Pacific Coast lumber magazine, now finishing its 40th volume, in Portland, was started in the state of Washington and moved to Portland after the first issue. Vol. 1, No. 1, November 1899, was printed by George M. Cornwall, young Scotsman who had come to Oregon a few years before, in the office of the Cathlamet Gazette, which Mr. Cornwall was publishing at the time. He then moved the magazine to Portland, where it has been published ever since. The format has been greatly changed; at the beginning it was a four-column twenty-page publication; it is now an oversized magazine. The original name, Columbia River and Oregon Timberman, was changed to the Oregon Timberman after a year or two. Then the Oregon was taken off, leaving the name as it is.
David Davis, formerly of the St. Helens Mist and other newspapers, has been associated with Mr. Cornwall since June 15, 1903. He now an associate editor. Managing editor under the editor-publisher George F. Cornwall.
