Port Moresby, August 18.

MR. E. A. JAMES, editor and publisher of the “Papuan Courier,” the only newspaper published in the Territory of Papua, has acquired the interests of all shareholders in his paper, excepting the seven nominal shareholders. He is, there fore, the sole proprietor of the paper, which circulates in Papua and New Guinea.

The “Papuan Courier” made its appear ance about 25 years ago when it was named the “Papuan Times,” and the late W. C. Bruce as editor conducted a one sided warfare with his turbulent pen.
