Notes
Here is another fine interior, this time the E.R. Bradley Print Shop and Newspaper on Oak Street. We previously saw the exterior of this building and another interior view. We also saw a nice portrait of Mr. Bradley.
Bradley was the first publisher of The Hood River News in 1905 (originally The Hood River Newsletter
While I can’t read the calendar to date this image, there is a gaslight on the wall, so it could be circa 1905. The other interior shows the same gaslight but the addition of more press equipment and electric lights.

It looks like his version of stickie notes on the wall near the lamp

I’m thankful that the Hood River newspapers focused on local news and let the Oregonian address State and National topics. There is a wealth of information in the local papers as a result.

Is that a cat asleep under the woodstove?

Looks like a log.

I think the "stickie notes" are mostly business cards tacked to the wall, along with an insurance company calendar. The cat under the wood stove? It looks like tissue paper and maybe some wood blocks– kindling? There’s not enough detail to be sure.

I vote cat. That’s where cats hang out. It appears to be a cat color rather than a wood color.. Wouldn’t be tissue paper or it will soon be smoldering and catching on fire. And it has two legs up so it recently flopped down.
