PRESS CONVENTION.
Coming Meeting of the Central a

Northern California Association.
The following circular has been issued
by the Executive Committee of the Central
and Northern California Press Association:
On the goth of May last the Central and
Northern California Press Association COM
pleted its organization. We request, if not
already enrolled as member, that you
will unite with the Association, and that
you will solicit your associates upon your
journal to do likewise. While the mem
bership is confined to the counties of Gen.
trail and Northern California, it is the pur-
pose to conserve the Interests of newspaper
publishing and editing throughout the
State. The joining fee is 81, the annual
dues, 81. The scope of the laws is covered
by the statement that they in no wise affect
the independence OF any journals or per-
sons related to them; they are purely ad
visory, and for the purpose of securing
better understanding, greater harmony of
action and, SO far as consultation can
achieve it, business promotion. We be-
ieve that the benefits of social meeting
will be pronounced.
The Executive Committee does not deem
it necessary to enlarge upon the benefits
OF such an assOciation-they must be ap-
parent to you, and the gentlemen and
ladies who may be professionally related
to your journal. 1t must suffice to say
that in this day when specific interests are
best advanced by consultation and union
of those related to them, the value both TO
publishers and writers of such an associa-
ton as this is of the first order in its
economic and its social features, and in
the influence that it can exert in elevating
and generally lettering the profession of
journalism and in contributing to the de-
yelopment OF the State.
We enclose you few applications for
membership, and trust that you will use
them for the purposes for which forwarded.
We likewise enclose to you the programme
arranged for the September session of the
Association, which, however, it must be
understood, is subject to revision and
amendment by this committee, of which
you will have due notice
2 The next meeting of the Association will
be held in the E. B. Crocker Art Gallery,
Sacramento, on the 9th and 10th days of
september, 1885, beginning at P. NJ. on
the 9th.
If you contemplate attending, and we
trust you will make every endeavor to be
present, will you kindly notify the commit
tee, and state how many, if any of your
family will accompany you, that arrange
ments may be made for transportation
rates. Very respectfully,
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
By its Committee OF Arrangements.
