They take with them n team, tents

for camping out and making them
selves comfortable.
The party is in charge of Mr..
Reeves. 81 young man OF fine scien-
tilic requirements, who has had ex'
perence in railroad surveying ever
since coming out of college, while he
will be ably supported by Messrs.
Holmes, Baker and Grant, all com.

Press Association.

The press of this State are discuss
ing, just now, the matter of more
thorough and efficient organization
among the newspaper men. The FL
dora Ledger in an editorial on this
subject, says the reason why Iowa
editors have not had as much eourte.
sy shown them as those of other
States is because of a lack of con
centration of influence. Each paper
sheds its light within a regulated ra-
dius, but the bond which should
bind them as one has not been ac-
ceptable to the fraternity, and the
result is weakness. This is to the
point. We have many times regret
ted that want of a thorough organi-
cation among the members of the
press of our State. Our conven-
tions thus far have been but mere
hand-shakings. Comparatively few
have attended the annual meetings
and those present accomplished moth
ing. This is owing mainly to want
of proper incentive to draw them
together. A lecture on journalism
and poem will not accomplish it.
Iowa editors have a way OF their own
of conducting their papers, and
while they might endure journal
istic homily on the plan of editing a
paper successfully, they will not be
likely to leave their business without
some greater inducements. There Is
no good reason why the brethren Of
the press might not be united in
sturdy organization that would secure
better treatment from the heavy rail-
road corporations. Iowa papers i'm
matter Of enterprise, or any way you
may take them, are conceded to be
in advance of those OF the older
States and the reason why Wisconsin
and Illinois editors are kindly ten
drred excursions over important rail
roads and Iowa editors are snub-
bed, is the want of what we have
herein stated.
We are in favor OF n re- organization
Of the Iowa Press Association on a
basis so complete as will secure to us
a power in defence of our rights, and
the granting Of those courtesies due
as. The brethren of the press ought
to be united on this question.

LIVE FOR A PuRposE.-The secret of all
success in life, Of all greatness, nay, all hap
piness, is to live for a purpose. There are
many persons always busy, who yet have no
great object in view. They fritter away
their energies OF a hundred things, and yet
never accomplish anything, because never
giving their attention to only one thing
They are like butterflies. Dit from spot to
spot, never gaining wealth while the ant,
who keeps to q certain circuit around her
hole, lays up stores for winter comfort
Such persons are doomed to be dissatisfied
in the end, if they arc not sooner for they
find in the race of life they had been passed
by all who had q purpose. 1t is not only
the positive drones, therefore, but the busy
idle that makes a blunder of life for the want
of a purpose.
