THE TERRITORY'S EARLIEST NEWSPAPERS Throughout the time it existed in Mt. Pleasant, the Call continued to be mailed in Salina, where its second class permit was registered. McArthur published the Pyramid until October 3, 1947, when he sold to Thomas Judd and Harrison Conover, the latter publisher of the Springville Herald. Conover acquired Judd's interest in 1950 and the paper has subsequently been the property of his family. McArthur is commemorated in the Newspaper Hall of Fame. Ogden Standard-Examiner The Standard portion of Northern Utah's dominant daily originated January 1, 1888 and was the survivor of years of bitter competition in a city once described as "the graveyard of Western journalism." The other half of its present-day hyphenated masthead, the Examiner, began publication on January 1, 1904 and the two combined into an evening daily on April 1, 1920. Newspapers launched and then buried in Ogden numbered 51, making the Standard-Examiner a most enduring publication in a once-turbulent marketplace. A more detailed history of the Standard-Examiner appears in Chapter 8. The Standard's first editor, Frank J. Cannon, as well as William Glasmann, the publisher who lifted the paper from its doldrums in 1894, and his editor, Edwin A. Littlefield, are all enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Both Glasmann and Littlefield were present in 1893 when Utah Press Association was born. Park Record The state's oldest weekly, it opened its doors on February 8, 1880 as the Park Mining Record. James R. Schupbach, the first publisher, departed on June 18, 1881 for Butte, Montana, succeeded by Harry W. White. He, in turn, surrendered the publisher's chair to J. J. Buser on November 2,1884.
