Edmonton Paper Ends Puillicaiion

MONTON. Jan. 21 -40?) - The Edmonton Bulletin. Alberta's first newspaper. ended publication Saturday. - .

Rising coats of materials and labor. restricted newsprint sup- plies and limitations on building and medhanical expansion were given by publisher Harold 1.. Straight as IGIIOIIS for the death of the paper founded in 1800 by Hon. Frank Oliver who carted a press and type by oxcart 700 miles from Winnipeg.

The announcement was carried high on the front page of Satur- day's final edition: "The Bulletin ends publication today." It was signed "The Management."

In an interview. Mr. straight said the bulletin had been "too successful." In three years it had increased its circulation as per cent and its advertising linage 88 per cent. But -the plant, designed for a. 16-page paper. was obsolete. A new plant and a new press. at a total cost of sl.000.000. were need- ed. The paper recently had aver- aged 27 pages and a circulation of 30.100.

Disposition of the Bulletln's as- sets remained uncertain tonight. W. A. Maenonaid. publisher of the Journal. li&.nonton's other daily newspaper. said: "We have not bought the Bulletin-."

The end came with

startling

suddennesa for 1'79 Bulletin em- ployees ahn each received two weeks' salary. The plant was bustlint with activity when news

editor Bill Lewis. who had been with the paper since 1928. tacked a notice to the office bulletin board: "Wiiih today's issue The Bulletin ceases publication for good."

The Journal. ihe circulation of which was reported in December as "ln excess of demo." is left as the only daily paper in this Pro- vincial capital of'nearly 1.50.000 persons.

From the days of Frank Oliver to the last day of publication. the Bulletin hod prided itself on be- iru a crusading newspaper. And it alxays had "color" on its front pa e-lbig headlines. lots of red ink. many feature stories.

Oliver. later to become Osnadrs Minister of the Interior. brought a small. hand-operated press. a few galleys of type and some pap- or, from Winnipeg by Red River ox-cart. in-rying his load across the wide North Saskatchewan riv- or and setting up shop in a log cabin on Jasper Avenue. almost a on trail at the time and now Id- rnonton's main street.
