Hee y'are, getcha Sunday Oregonian
An alert reader points out that Multnomah County Library cardholders now have access to scans of full editions of The Oregonian, for nearly every day from 1861 to 1972. On the library's main page, click "Research," then "Articles," then "The Oregonian Historical Archive," then "Oregonian." Amazing stuff.

What a waste of taxpayer money! Throwing money to the guvment to provide services. These are my tax dollars archiving our history.

Also look at the story just to the left, which involves the local bus company (then privately owned) asking the City Council to approve a fare increase and (I think) to let it terminate or reduce service on some routes, including one along Macadam.

Just another example of public libraries giving kids access to porn.

Now we can pinpoint when "unexpectedly" or "sources suggest that" or "it is unclear" became acceptable reporting disclaimers.
