Have you tried UC Berkeley newspaper microfilm library? They have California newspapers way back (1860s for some), more Northern than Southern CA, and some from the rest of the US The library catalog is on-line, but there are microfilms for more dates than the catalog indicates, so if the paper you want is included it might be worth a look, even if the dates you want are not mentioned. On the other hand it might be faster to go to LA than find a parking place in Berkeley...
