The Redmond Spokesman
The inaugural edition of the Redmond Spokesman was published on July 14, 1910, making it the longest-running business in Redmond. Before the Spokesman was established, the small town had another publication called The Oregon Hub. In 1913, a local teenager named Douglas Mullarky launched The Enterprise, briefly turning Redmond into a town with three newspapers. However, in 1914, the Spokesman acquired both of its competitors. The Redmond Spokesman was founded by experienced journalists Henry and Clare Palmer, who had previously published The Laidlaw Chronicle in Laidlaw (now known as Tumalo). Joe and Mary Brown managed the Spokesman for an impressive 40 years, from 1931 until 1971, when it was sold to the current owners, Western Communications.

Published 1:25 pm Monday, June 16, 2025 Cashton Fred remembers the first time he got on the back of an animal that didn’t want to be ridden. He was about 12 years old and had watched his older brother ride for a few years before he was ready to give it a try himself. “I was scared for sure but then I did it and found out I really liked it,” said Cashton. He turned out to be a fast learner. In just two years, Cashton went from scared to a state champion.
