The Carbon County News
Although the Carbon County News changed editors and managers several
times, it was a successful newspaper serving the growing town of
Price, which already had one other newspaper, the Eastern Utah Advocate.
From the January 1 1909 issue:
With this issue of the Carbon County News the management and
control of the paper passes into new hands, Charles H. Keith assuming
the entire business and mechanical direction and E. A. Phillips
taking charge of the editorial department. Mr. Keith, until
he came to the News something over six months ago, served the
Intermountain-Republican at Salt Lake City and Mr. Phillips, a
couple of week since resigned the position of Telegraph Editor
on the Salt Lake Evening Telegram, in order to assist Mr. Keith
in securing the lease of this newspaper. That's about all we care
to say of ourselves, except that we think we know our business
and we propose to attend to it fearlessly and faithfully and to
win by honest effort the friendship and approval of every right
minded man with whom we are thrown into contact.
