Following the roll call. Mr.. J. K. Moore, the
president of the ASSOCIATION, arrived, and took
the chair.
Major Newson was called on, and made an
excellent address upon the pioneer editor. He
gave early "reminiscences of editorial life in ST.
Paul, which we're decidedly entertaining, and
paid high tribute to the frontier pioneer edi-
tor.
The question of taking apprentices elected
some discussion: the general verdict being that
the apprentice usually sets up for a full printer
during the second or third six months.
The law exempting $4,000 printing material
was made the special order for 2:3O P. NJ.
Mr.. A. DeLacy Wood moved a committee of
five to nominate officers for the ensuing year.
and Messrs. Wood, Leonard Chamberlin, Pick
ct and Ramaley were appointed.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Upon reassembling the exemption law was
fully discussed, every member present being
called on for his opinion. The general feeling
was that $4,000 was too great an exemption, but
that publishers should have the same immuni
ties granted others and no more.
MIR. Leonard finally moved that the associa-
ton request the reduction of the exemption to
$1,000, and that publishers be placed upon
the same footing as others in regard to exemp-
ton.
This motion prevailed, and the whole matter
was then referred to Senators Macdonald.
Kinds and Hill.
The treasurer, David Ramally, submitted his
report showing $146.36 in the treasury. As
this amount is all that the association needs at
present. it was resolved to collect no dues either
this year or next year.
Mr.. Wood, from the committee on nomina-
tions, submitted the following report, which
was adopted:
President-G. G. Chamberlin, Jackson Republ;c.
Vice Presidents-H. 9. Bassford, Austin Register J;
w. j. Munro, Stevens County Tribune.
Secretary-A. DeLacy Wood, Benton County
Press.
Treasured. Ramaley.
Corresponding Secretary. F. Williams.
Executive Committee-H. p. Hall, +. DriscolI H.
A. Castle.
Capt. Castle called attention to the fact that
the association formerly had an address and
poem. and sometimes a banquet, and he queried
whether it would not add to the interest to re-
turn to those social festivities.
Nh. Leonard was in favor of the return, and
moved that the president secure an orator and
poet for the next meeting, and also that ban
quet be given. This motion was adopted.
Major Newson moved vote of thanks to the
chamber of commerce for the use of their
rooms, which was adopted.
1t was voted to hold the next meeting on the
fourth Wednesday in January, 1880, whereupon
the association adjourned. .
