Ephraim Enterprise Another of Utah's pioneering weeklies, the Enterprise dates to September 16, 1891. It was the community's second newspaper, launched only a few months after the County Register, begun June 4, 1890, had gone out of existence. M. F. Murray and Charles Goddard were co-founders of the Enterprise. Goddard remained only a brief time, but Murray was editor until 1903, when Fred Jorgenson assumed the reins. Over a period of years the names of E. A. Britsch, Nephi Christensen and Curtus Mickelsen successively appeared on the masthead. On January 20, 1925, Roscoe C. Cox began a 35-year tenure at the publisher's desk, a time span ended by his retirement. The Enterprise was sold on November 3, 1960 to Larry Stahle, a grandson of John Stahle, Sr., one of the founding members of UPA. At the same time he acquired the Manti Messenger from Cox's son, R. LaVaun. Both papers would change hands again on September 1, 1972 when Max E. Call, a veteran Wyoming newsman, purchased them from Stahle. He sold in November, 1993 to Post Publishing Company, headed by Todd Newton. Late in 1994, Call regained the Enterprise upon the demise of Newton's firm. Roscoe Cox, whose three-plus decades reflect the longest tenure of any Enterprise publisher, is in the Hall of Fame. A summary of other Manti newspaper ventures appears in Chapter 4.
