manager of the Chronicle Telegraph, when that paper was acquired by Mr. George T. Oliver. In September, 1902, he
was made general manager of both these papers. Mr. Rowe is a rising young business man, who has in the few years
of his service exhibited great ability in his line of work. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and in religious
belief is a Presbyterian.
