History
E. F. Bennett, who had previously tried to buy the Stayton ''Times'' (now defunct), started the ''Mail'' in 1896. Bennett sold it to H. E. Browne, who later founded the Silverton ''Tribune'', in 1900. Editor Fred G. Conley made a substantial investment in a Mergenthaler typesetting machine in 1908, and changed the publication schedule from weekly to semi-weekly in January 1909. The paper continued to change hands among people associated with various local papers, including the Salem ''Statesman'', a number of times through the late 1930s.
Gannet discontinued the Mail as of Sept. 14, 2022.
