History

E. F. Bennett, who had previously tried to buy the Stayton Times (now defunct), started the Mail [8] in 1894. [4] [8] Bennett sold it to H. E. Browne, who later founded the SilvertonTribune, in 1900. [8] Editor Fred G. Conley made a substantial investment in a Mergenthaler typesetting machine in 1908, and changed the publication schedule from weekly to semi-weekly in January 1909. [9] The paper continued to change hands among people associated with various local papers, including the Salem Statesman, a number of times through the late 1930s. [8]

Gannett discontinued the Mail as of Sept. 14, 2022. [10] [11]
