History of County's Past in Today's Centennial Edition
The Evening News today proudly presents its Centennial Edition, marking the 100th anniversary of Washington's territorial status.
Today's issue contains 56 pages, nearly all devoted to telling the history of Clallam County in news and pictures.

Practically all of the stories covering Port Angeles and Clallam County history were written and researched by the regular editorial staff of the Evening News.

Jack Henson wrote the stories on the Puget Sound Co-Operative Colony, early explorations of the area, hunting and fishing, early shipping, Indians and their customs, shingle mills, the logging industry, the Weir-Troy families, city and county post offices, and doctors and hospitals. In addition, he drew on his own experiences and newspaper career spanning most of the city's history to contribute dozens of shorter stories and little 'fillers' of historical interest.

Charles Kelm wrote the stories on the county highway system, the Olympic Highway, the city's four major industries (Rayonier, Fibreboard, Crown Zellerbach and Peninsula Plywood), county's settlement, and labor unions.

Frances Gallagher wrote the histories of city government, Coast Guard Cutters, lifeboat stations, and the air base; farming, and city and farm women's organizational histories.

Earl Clark wrote the stories of railroading in the county, schools, Olympic National Park, newspapers, resorts and the town of Forks.

J Lawrence Steven of the Evening News Press staff drew the full page illustration for the special section covers.

A few individuals were of notable help to the staff in the big job of research which has gone into this edition, notably Miss Jessie Ayres on the county's history, Thomas S Dickinson and Emerson Lawrence on post offices, and Gunnar Fagerlund on the national park. The staff also drew heavily on the April 19, 1941 Progress Edition of the Evening News which was largely complied by Clayton Hay, now with the Seattle Times; and the Lauridsen and Smith book, "The Story of Port Angeles"; and James McCurdy's "by Juan de Fuca's Strait".....and the Clallam County Historical Society.
