Butterfield (editor), John Irwin (editor), John Charlton Thompson (editor), John Woolley (editor), 1861 Ipswich : Francis Kidner, Hugh Parkinson & J. Bowring Sloman , 1861-1908 Z1689844 1861 newspaper (10 issues) 'The Queensland Times is the oldest surviving provincial paper in Queensland. Founded in 1859 as the Ipswich Herald, it has continued ever since. Until a printer's strike briefly interrupted production in 1972, it had the proud record of never having missed a scheduled issue, in spite of fires, floods and machinery breakdowns. ...

'One of the main aims of the Ipswich Herald was to promote Ipswich's claims to be capital city of the Moreton bay colony as separation from New South Wales loomed. It was bought in 1861 by Hugh Parkinson and two other north Australian employees, Hugh [sic] Bowring Sloman and Francis Kidner. They changed its name to The Queensland Times and said it "would undertake to speak as from the centre of authority, the capital, and would oppose centralization in Brisbane." The editor was J. C. Thompson, who later surveyed and laid out the city of Bundaberg.
...

'Between the 1860s and the 1880s the bi-weekly Queensland Times faced competition from other newspapers, but outlasted them all. It became a morning daily in 1899, but a depression forced it to revert to a tri-weekly publication until, in 1908, it became a daily again.'

The Queensland Times later became 'a member of the APN News & Media Ltd Group'.

The Admiralty's Secret, Carlton Dawe , single work novel

'This is a very fine spy story. A lieutenant-commander invents a gun-control mechanism which would enable the British Fleet to beat all-comers. The Germans hear of this, and engage a dissatisfied and beautiful young Englishwoman to extract from him the secret. She worms her way into his confidence, gets hold of his plans, and takes them to the German Embassy. There she finds she loves the lieutenant, and then begins a battle of wits between the woman and the astute Germans. Complication follows complication, and some vary dramatic situations crop up. In the long run—but why spoil the reader's zest for a story which he or she is bound to go right on with at one sitting.'
