Edward L. Sloan being the first editor. The Woman's
Exponent, a semi-monthly woman's-rights paper, was
first issued June 1, 1872, under the care of Mrs Louise
L. Green Richards, and afterward transferred to Mrs
Emeline B. Wells. The Salt Lake Daily Times, a
theatrical and advertising sheet of which John C.
Graham was editor and proprietor, commenced December
24, 1875, and in March 1881 its publication ceased.
The first number of Tullidges Quarterly Magazine
appeared in October 1880. This publication is embel-
lished with steel engravings, and has been favorably received,
not only in Utah, but in the eastern states and
in England. Considerable sums have been subscribed
for the publication therein of city and county histories.
The Ogden Junction was first issued as a semiweekly
in charge of F. D. Richards on the 1st of
January 1870. Mr Richards associated with himself
C. W. Penrose, to whom he resigned the editorship,
subsequent editors being John Nicholson, Joseph
Hall, and Leo Haefli. Soon after its first appearance
the paper became a daily and its name was
changed to the Ogden Herald?* The Provo Daily
Times, which started into being August 1, 1873, has
had a varied experience, being successively called the
Provo Tri- Weekly Times, the Utah County Times, the
Utah County Advertiser, and the Territorial Inquirer,
the last being its present name. 94 The Beaver Enterprise
was instituted early in 1874, Joseph Field being
editor; the Southern Utonian was also published at

editor, 95 and the Beaver County Record, at first a

Sidney Stevens, who in 1S85 was still one of the largest proprietors
of the Herald. Mr Stevens, a native of Somersetshire, England, came to
Utah in 1863, settling two years later at North Ogden, where, and at Ogden
City, he has ever since been actively engaged in business. Among other ventures,
he has been largely interested in the shipment of produce to the eastern
states, forwarding as many as 470 car-loads in a single year. To his enterprise
the terminus of the Union Pacific is in no small degree indebted for its
recent growth.

J. T. McEwan, and John C. Graham. Richards' Bibliog. of Utah, MS., 18.
