JORGEN CHARLES JORGENSON.

    Jorgen Charles Jorgenson, editor and publisher of the Salina Sun, was born
at Ephraim in 1884. His father is J. S. Jorgenson, a well known tailor of
Sanpete county, while his brother, Fred Jorgenson, is the adjutant general of
the state. Something of the spirit of adventure, combined with wide interest in
men and affairs, has led Jorgen C. Jorgenson into various sections. He early
learned the printer's trade and took up newspaper work. He became connected with
the Manti Press, with which he continued for five years, and then removed to
Salt Lake City, where he became assistant manager of The Progressive, the organ
of the bull moose party. After the need for such a party passed out of existence
he established the Midvale Messenger, which he owned and published for a time
but later returned to Ephraim. There he entered the wall paper business-possibly
because of a leaning toward the editorial shears and paste pot. His desire to
get back into the newspaper game led to his removal to Salina in 1918, at which
time he established the Salina Sun, a bright, well written and ably edited
weekly which has met with success from its first issue.

    In 1906 Mr. Jorgenson was united in marriage to Miss Lydia Rosquist, of
Ephraim, and they have two children, Blanche and Dean. Mr. Jorgenson
concentrates his efforts and attention upon his newspaper interests. He
publishes the Sun as an independent paper and is not afraid to express his
opinions, no matter whether hitting one or both parties. His motto is "I don't
know much, but what I do know I am going to tell." Many of his friends do not
agree with the first part of the statement, for they regard his editorials most
favorably, knowing him to be a clear thinking man who endeavors to present every
question fairly and upon its merits.
