Nearly all. the boys ‘were accompanied by their wives, sisters, daughters' or sweet- hearts—about sixty people all told. ‘They arrived of the 3352! East-bound train .on Thursday a Bemidji, where lunch had been ggrved by the} citizens. Points of interest in the village were visited and acquaintantes made until about g g’clock when visitors and citizens all repaired to the Hotel Pokegama, where a sumptious banquet had been prepared. D. M. Gunn; the Pokegama’s genial, pto- prietor, is always a good fellow ana takes pleasure in doing all he can for his guests, but on this occasion he easily exceeded anything he ever be- fore attempted. The quantity, quality and variety of excellent edi- bles served was siniply astonishing. The service was good, gnd the delici- ousness and daintynesg pf everything showed what -¢areful attention had been paid to matters in the culinary department. Of all the, things we believe that the boys have cause to remember here, the’ banquet, the Pokegama and its proprietor, will probably linger‘longest. =. * County Attorney W, F. Street, of Bemidji, officiated as toastmaster and did it in’ exceHent shape. President H.W. Wheelock, of ‘the association, responded briefly to the toast of “The Northwestern Editorial Association,” and calléd upon C..S. Mitchell, of Alexandria to finish 1 for him. © Mr. Mitchell, who talks as: pointedly and vigorously as writes, said that he was glad to « and find that the inhabitants here did pgt wear feathers.

Lamphere, of the Moore- head News, responded to the toast of “The Press.” He strongly urged the advisability of country publishers get- ting together, doing no work except for a stated price and make ‘more.of a business proposition out of their papers, As he is one of the most suc- cessful publishers in Minnesota, Mr. ampher’s remarks Wwete listened to with interest and, to judge by the ap- plause he received, met with hearty approval. The pleasant task of toasting “The Ladies,’"fell to the lot of E. A. Nel- son, of the Hallock News. Mr,-Nel- son thought that all had been said on the subject that could be said, but nevertheless found many things that no one else thought-of, or at least ex- pressed. Highly Probable Next Governor Pease, of the Anoka Union, was to say something concerning ‘Pioneer Journalism in Minnesota,” but ac- cused all the ladies in the room with winking at him and looking so long- ingly in his direction that he found it impossible to talk on any such prosaic subject. _He wanted to dance and he thought the rest of the company were of his opinion. ‘There is one thing. that we would like to say something ‘real nice about —something pretty dnd poetlc —but,can’t thing of anything. The visitors had with them the AX®olian Quartette of Brainerd, composed of the following members: Miss May- me Mitchell, soprano; Miss Bertie Robinson, contralto; Mr. E. O. Webb, tenor, and Mr. S. E. Alderman, bass. Their singing was simply ‘1mmense,” and even Charlie Mitchell stopped talking to listen. The dance at the Village hail was a great success, The music and call- ing were excellent and all present en- joyed themselves. ‘The ~ hall was decorated with the national colors, while from’ the electric chandehers being suspended an immense pair of shears and a lead pencll about four feet long, both of which became the ‘property of the association. Friday morning everybody was awake good and early in spite of the fact that it was rather late when they went to bed. The first thing on the program’ was the annual business meeting of the association. A. G. Bernard was elected president, and this was a decidedly good selection. One of the charter members of the associationt he has ever since been its secretary, and given freely ot his time and labor towards its success. For the office of vice president Mrs.F. W. Lee of the Rush City Post was elected. Mrs. Lee was the only editress in the party, aided greatly to make the outing asuc- ‘cess, and bestowing this office upon her was a neat and deserved compliment. E. A, Nelson, of Hallock,will succeed Mr. Bernard as secretary. Mr. Nel- son isan energetic member of the association and -will prove an excel- lent officer. ‘For treasurer. N.0 H.
