DAWSON NEWS RUNS
25 YE\RS AS DAILY
(Cordova Dai!y Times)
Possibly no other newspaper in the
north has had such a continuous suc
cessful career, as has the Dawson
News, which celebrated its twenty
fifth anniversary on August 10, 1924.
A’tho the paper has had several
changes in ownership and manage
ment it continued on, outstripping
all competitors until some years ago
it remained the only newspaper in
what was onqe an hilarious and
thriving gold camp.
The Daily News was the first daily
to appear in the Klondike. It had its
inspiration in the mind of W. F. 1
Thompson, who had been publishing
papers at Trail and Nelson, B. C. and
who is now the veteran publisher at
•Fairbanks. He came to Seattle in the
winter of 1898 with an extravagant
project involving an expenditure of
about $50,000. But the capital was
not forthcoming. After some weeks!
he admitted defeat to his friend Will |
A. Steel, who told him that he would
take a half interest in a proposition I
involving half the amount suggested
and would raise the balance of the
raoital before the day was over, if
Thompson would go in as manager.
Thompson wanted to take a quar
ter interest and suggested that we
see Capt. Richard Roediger and W.J.
McIntyre, formerly owners of the
Tacoma News, and give them a
chance to go in. A conference that
day clinched the matter and each was
to take a quarter interest .Prepara
tions were at once made to secure
a plant and ship it to St. Michael
and up the river on the first steamer
in the spring. In the meantime

Thompson was to go to Ottowa to
arrange for a telegi’aph service from
the Canadian government, returning |
to Seattle in the spring. H. G. Steel
had been engaged to come out from
Pennsylvania to go in and be the ed
itor, and as events happened, to be
also the manager for a time, as
Thompson at the last moment found
that he could not go north and sold
his interest to the writer.
Mr. McIntyre was foreman of the
mechanical department and J. Har
mon Caskey and wife also went to
Dawson to work in the office, as well
as several others sent up from Seat
tle. And Dawson’s first daily was
thus launched on Aug. 1, 1899. It
sold for 25 cents per copy, with pric
es for advertising and job work in
proportion, making money from the
first issue. In the course of time
Captain Roediger and Mr. Mclntyn
became the owners The Steels hav
ing established the Da:'ly News at
Nome.
Whittemore Has Quit
Northland for Good
(Seattle Alaska Weekly
E. L. Whittemore, for many years
past a prominent business man of
Seward, has disposed of his busi
ness there to Andy Beck and John
White ,and his real estate holdings
to his former associate, Leo. Mar
gueles, and was an arriving passen
ger on the steamer Alaska this
week. He is en route to San Diego,
California, where he plans to make
his future home. He will enter
business with his son, Harry E.
Whittemore, who has built up a
flourishing business under the name
of the Whittemore Company, roof
ing engineers. Harry is a graduate
of the Boston Tech. He entered
the roofing business in San Diego
some years ago and has been most
successful. He has been urging his
father to join him for the past two
years.
Ed. Whittemore went to the
Klondike during stampede days of
quarter of a century ago. He and
his partner made some money on
13 and 14 above on Sulphur creek,
right off the bat. Then Ed. and
H. S. Turner, now a well known
Seattle real estate man ,mined 65
below on Hunker creek. The claim
was a bloomer. Ed. then went to
Nome and remained there a few
years. The Alaska Central railroad
started building from Seward, and
Ed. quit Nome and went to that
embryo town. Save for a few years
in business in Cordova, when that
town was put on the map by the
Copper River & North Western rail
road, he has been in Seward ever
since.
Whittemore\s host of friends in
Alaska will regret to see him leave
the Northland, and wish him all suc
cess in his new field of endeavor.
