About the Mountain Press
Established in 1974 by Mike and Lorraine O'Halloren, the Mountain Press newspaper was purchased in 1978 by Prather, CA, residents Homer and Marceline Scott as "an investment." And what an investment it turned out to be! At the time Homer worked in insurance, mutual funds and real estate, but he ended up putting a lot more work into his new purchase than he had originally intended to and eventually it became his primary source of income.

In some ways, things haven't changed much over the years. The story on the front page of the earliest extant issue in our archives (Vol. 1 No. 3 – May 29, 1974) reads: "A small bird building a nest in a transformer on the Harris Ranch led to a power outage that kept people in the dark almost all day last Thursday ... A small fire also broke out across from the Auberry mill when two lines came down but it was quickly doused thanks to the mill employees, California Forestry Department and the Auberry volunteer fire department."
The paper could be purchased for 10¢ a copy over the counter, or $4 a year by subscription. Today, subscribers can be found all over the nation, thanks to local folks who take this bit of "home" with them when they move away from the area. At the office we keep a folder labeled "Compliments from Folks." One of our favorites: "Some guy called and said our paper is the best in the state! He reads the San Francisco Chronicle, the New York Times and the Washington Post." Thank you, loyal readers and advertisers! |
