A fact from The Bulletin (Bend) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 September 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the original office for The Bulletin, the first newspaper in Bend, Oregon, was in a cabin located on the banks of the Deschutes River?
There should be a mention that the paper used to be known as the Bend Bulletin from inception until around the 1970's whereupon it became The Bulletin. Leitmotiv (talk) 17:02, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would have, except I didn't know the exact date of the changeover. Interesting, I think I was told it changed in the 70's. Your reference is good to note! Leitmotiv (talk) 21:58, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Google News Archives rock. I just searched on "The Bulletin" + "Bend Bulletin" + name + change. That issue had already changed so I assume that was the date, but maybe you can find the issue from the day before. Katr67 (talk) 23:26, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah it does rock! Though the The Bulletin has many issues in the archive that don't entirely show up and give back incorrect dates as well. Not sure how widespread this is. But that articles I have found in the archive were well worth the effort and time spent looking for them. Leitmotiv (talk) 07:24, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
