Description | The Washington State Journal, published in Ritzville, Washington, from 1907 to 1911, played a crucial role in documenting the region's history and development. Founded by John Albert Thompson in 1898 as the Adams County News, it chronicled the growth of Ritzville from its early settlement by Philip Ritz in 1878 to its establishment as a thriving wheat-producing town. Edgar DeWitt Gilson, a prominent figure in local politics and journalism, took over the paper's management and oversaw its transition to the Washington State Journal in 1907. The paper merged with the Ritzville Times in 1910, leaving behind a legacy of community engagement and storytelling. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1907 of this newspaper. |
