History
[edit]A large fire occurred during the morning hours of August 2, 1912 beginning in the Bush Block of the Chehalis Downtown Historic District causing damages at the Bee-Nugget offices.[1]
The newspaper celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1932 at an event held in the city's St. Helens Hotel.[2] The toastmaster was Mayor John West and prominent men and past and present editors of the newspaper spoke. The owner at the time, Dan W. Bush, recalled early pioneer days and previous owners. The founder of the Chehalis Nugget, Albert Tozier, recollected the early history of news media in the city and presented the tweezers used in the first Nugget publication to the current editor, Clarence Ellington.[3]
Accidents and incidents
[edit]The Chehalis Nugget once shut down publication after a hog ate an ink roller, leading the newspaper unable to produce for two weeks.[3]
