Essay Draft¶

The Evening Statesman was founded in 1861 as an independent weekly newspaper. The first issue was published on November 29, 1861. In 1878, the Statesman became the Inland Empire’s first daily newspaper, although daily editions were not published continuously until 1880. Other titles of the Statesman were: Washington Statesman, Walla Walla Statesman, The statesman, and finally, the Evening statesman from 1903-1910.

The original owners of the Statesman were R.B. Smith, N. Northrop, and R.R. Rees. Smith retired in January 1862, and Northrop died in 1863, leaving R.R. Rees and his brother, S.G. Rees as owners. William H. Newell became proprietor in 1865, and the paper became more Democratic, ardently supporting President Andrew Johnson. In 1878, Newell tried to make the Statesman a daily, but it was soon discontinued after Newell died later that year. In 1880, daily editions were tried again, with more success. After Newell’s death, his son-in-law, Frank J. Parker took over the paper until 1900, when it transferred to the Statesman Publishing Co., led by Dr. E.E. Fall. In 1907, the Statesman was consolidated with the Walla Walla Union [LCCN: sn 88085406], with the Union as a morning paper and the Statesman remaining an evening paper. In 1910, the Evening Statesman was discontinued.
