HEARS! EDITOR
DRAWS BIG PAY;
RUNS 3 PAPERS:
i
Arthur Brisbane, chief editorial
writer for Hearst and recent pur-1
chaser, himself, of three daily news-1
papers, testified before the Senate
committee which investigated his
purchases, that he received a salary
j from William Randolph Hearst of
I $104,000 a year—$2,000 a week. I
He said his contract with Hearst
has five years to run. This is
understood to be the highest salary
any newspaper writer in the world
ever received. It is said, also that
the present five-year contract, is
the third Brisbane has had with
Hearst for the same length of time
and the same salary He began
working for Hearst—leaving the
World for that purpose—at a salary
of $1,000 a week. His salary then I
went to $1,500 a week, and then
to $2,000.
Mr. Brisbane also testified that
Hearst had nothing to do with the
purchase of the daily newspapers1
which he owns in his own right,
except that he had a contract with
Hearst which provides that any time I
Hearst feels that the ownership of j
the papers in question might be
interfering with Brisbane’s work
for the Hearst papers, Hearst has |
the option of taking over the Bris-1
bane papers at a stipulated price, i
The agreement also provides that j
if Brisbane should decide that his
personal ownership of papers inter
fered with his work for the Hearst
papers he could so inform Hearst
and the latter would be compelled
to purchase the papers.
Brisbane’s papers are the Wash
ington Times, evening; the Mil
waukee Wisconsin, evening; and the
Milwaukee News, morning. The
third Milwaukee paper purchased
by Brisbane was consolidated with
the Wisconsin.
Hearst now owns and operates
morning’ and evening papers in New
York, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta,
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
He also owns several magazines, j
It is said that each of the dozen
newspapers and each of the several
magazines are producing satis
factory profits to the most (In
tensive newspaper publisher in the
world.
Mr. Brisbane admitted quite
frankly that a syndicate of brew
ers, some of them Germans whose
property is now held by the alien
property custodian, loaned him the
money to purchase the four news
I papers he has taken over within the
last year and a half. He admitted
that he borrowed money for an in
definite period, and that it is stipu
lated thut there shall be no inter
est on the loans unless the papers
earn it. He said the loan was made
because the brewers agreed with
his position on the prohibition
question. He is opposed to the
American saloon and the use of
“ardent spirits"—whiskey, brandy,
gin and other liquors having a large
percentage of alcohol -but favors
permitting' the use of light wines
and malted liquors, of low percent'
j age of alcohol content, by those
j who want them.

SIGNAL CORPS BOYS
DID NOT ARRIVE
Corporal Fitzwilliams and Priv
ates Eckerson and Seierup, left
Campbells roadhouse (Minto) at
half past eight on the morning of
the 21st, intending to take the
river trail to Nomina. This trail
is approximately 21 miles in length.
Privates Nelson and Collins, each
driving a horse and doulilc-ender
left at the same time, and taking
the regular mail trail, arrived in
Nenana last night
Corporal Fitzwilliams expected
to reach Nenana, with his party,
last night, but up to a late hour
this afternoon has failed to show
up.
It is probable that the cold snap
drove them back to shelter and that
they are back at Campbell’s await- [
ing a break in the weather.
The Cordova Home Guards have
an eleven-piece orchestra.
TELEPHONE GIRLS POTLACH
FOR JOY RIDE TO CROSSING
Two of the young ladies of the
local “hello” office took a notion
that they would like to see the big i
bridge across the N'enana river at!
the Crossing, and accordingly |
boarded the train which left town
yesterday morning. The trip was
greatly enjoyed and everything was
fine.
The young ladies got off at
camp 1G, which is about a mile
from the Crossing and later walked
to the river to view the big bridge
and the busy work trains passing
back and forth.
They had, however, neglected to
provide themselves with passes, al
though they were fully aware of
the fact that the “good old days”
were no more, and a hard-hearted
| conductor insisted on collecting the
full round-trip fare. Superintend
ent Packer, who happened to be on
board when the money was paid,
congratulated the young ladies on
being the first to patronize Uncle
Sam’s new road. They now have
a souvenir ticket of their journey
that will increase in value as the
years roll on.
The Kmpress theater at Cordova
has its own lighting plant. The
plant is used in case of a break
down to the city lighting: system.
