History
H. A. Clemens founded the Stanwood Tidings in 1903 and operated the paper until retiring in 1920. He sold it to Frederick Ornes, who previously owned the Mount Vernon Argus. Ornes changed the paper's name to the Stanwood News soon after the sale. A year later Ornes sold the News to Lorin D. Angevine.
K. Kirby published the Fir-Conway Times for a single issue before ceasing. On his way out of town, Angevine chased him down and offered to buy the paper for two shirts and a hat. Angevine grew circulation to 150 and the Times became profitable. In April 1925, Angevine became part owner of the Mount Vernon Argus while Argus owner Ray Thorpe became part owner of the Stanwood News.

Why this record matters
The phrase “newspaper published in Stanwood, Washington, USA” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55671410. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020, 1903, 1920 and 1925.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
