charge. This does those a good turn who need work and creates some good will for the paper at the same time.
Other newspapers have been established in Hillsboro and Forest Grove at various times, none of them as interesting or influential as those mentioned. During the heated political days of 1894-96 the Populists were represented in Hillsboro by a weekly called The Other Side, edited by W. H. Black and published by the Reford Publishing Society. Politics was quieter in 1898, and The Other Side disappeared.
In October 1909 a Republican weekly named the Press was launched by E. C. Klancke with B. C. Suit editor. It was issued Thursdays. In 1910 J. D. Foote became editor and publisher, with G. E. Secour as associate. Secour advanced to the editorship April 14, 1910, and carried on until July 24, 1913, when George Huntington Currey took hold as editor and owner. The paper was suspended in 1916.
It was succeeded in the field by the Express, W. C. Benfer, editor and publisher. This was gone in two years. The News-Times absorbed both of these papers, making the present paper a combination of the Hatchet, Times, News, Press, and Express.
Beaverton.—Beaverton's newspapers date back to 1891, when Oscar Thayer founded the Chronicle. The Saturday Evening Journal was launched in 1903 by a man named Bailey. From 1909 to 1912 Fry, Emmons & Whitmore carried on the Beaverton Reporter, which Earl E. Fisher bought in 1912, changing the name to the Beaverton Owl. Hicks (A.J.) & Davis bought the paper in 1914 and changed the name again to the Beaverton Times. This paper was conducted by R. H. Jonas from 1917 to 1921. The Beaverton Review was started in 1922 by Howard Boyd. Since 1923 it has been conducted by J. H. Hulett and Verne Bright. The present publisher (1939) is Glenn Miller.
Since 1927 H. H. Jeffries has been running the Beaverton Enterprise as part of his chain of weeklies in little towns close to Portland. V. P. Morgan is editor.
Sherwood.—The present Sherwood newspaper goes back to September 29, 1912, when it was started by M. Fleet and L. M. Beckwith as the Sherwood News Sheet. In 1914 the name of the paper was changed to Tualatin Valley News, and in 1923 to its present title, Sherwood Valley News. With the exception of 1917, when I. V. McAdoo was owner and publisher, Fleet and Beckwith have conducted the paper since the beginning.
Tigard.—The Tigard Sentinel, a member of the H. H. Jeffries chain, was founded in 1922 by Jeffries' Pioneer Publishing Company, with E. B. Nedry editor. Succeeding editors have been A. A. Jeffries and V. P. Morgan. The present publisher (1939) is H. H. Jeffries.
