The lumbermen met in Dyer's hall
bright and early yesterday morning and
were not long in getting to work. The
committee OH credentials was kept busy
most of the time in issuing cards to new
arrivals. The committee on constitu-
ton and bylaws presented its report
through the chairman. MIR. Moore. of
Marshalltown, and it was adopted. The
report read as follows:
Your committee OH constitution and
bylaws would respectfully submit in
their report that article 2 of the cOnSti-
tuition be amended by striking out the
words 'by paying into the treasury the
sum of $40 annually" in the second and
third lines. TO correct evidently a cleri-
cal error, and to make the terms of
directors expire in accord with their
election. we suggest 10 amend article
10 of the constitution by striking
Out the word two in the fourth
line and insert the word "one' and
striking out the second word "one' in
the sixth line and inserting 1.-TWO"
The change making one director elected
for one year and two for two years. All
the proposed changes urged to your
committee have not met with our ap-
proval and the present bylaws, with
the changes suggested, are recon-
! mended. The same already provides
that they may be amended by vote of
the directory, and i'll the emergency can
be handled to give the best results"
The election of officers followed. The
eX-president, Mr.. Moore, nominated E.
d. Arnold. of this city, for president in
neat little speech, and he was accord
ingly elected. l.. A. Price, of Sioux
City, was elected vice president. The
Nv
the retiring vice preSident,D. II. Ewing,
were elected to fill vacancies on the
board of directors. The secretary and
treasurer were not elected, but will be
by the board of directors, who will meet
some time during the excursion. There
is scarcely any doubt but Secretary
Halls will be reelected. He is capa-
bic man, and there is 10 other candi-
date for the position. The report of the
auditing committee was read by Mr..
Sawyer, showing the books and ac-
counts of the secretary and treasurer to
be i'll first-class condition.
At noon the convention adjourned,
ana the delegates boarded a special
train Oh the Great Northern road, and
went to st. Paul, where they were en-
tertained at the factory of the Bohn
Manufacturing company. One of the
dry kilnS was cleaned out, and ban
Quet spread there. The menu was an
elaborate and substantial one, which, to-
gether with the novel banQueting hall,
gave the lumbermen a very interesting
time. Speeches of welcome were made
by Messrs. Bohn and Eaton. of the CON-
pany. These were responded to by
President Arnold, eX-PreSident Robin
son and Director Moore. At 2:3O the
lumbermen came back to the city, and
went into session again. The only bust
ness of Importance transacted was the
electing of the president and secretary
AS delegates to attend the convention of
the United Association of Lumbermen
to be held in Kansas City next Decem-
Der. The remainder of the time was
taken up in distributing the transporta-
ton for the annual excursion today. In
the evening the lumbermen attended
the performance of Cleveland's Min
strels at the Grand opera house in a
bOuy. The entire lower floor had been
reserved, including the boxes, which
were occupied by the officers of the as
ISOLATION. An enjoyable time was had,
and it is safe to say the Ministries never
had more thoroughly appreciatiye
crowd.
The excursion train will leave the
union depot this morning at o'clock
sharp. 1t is expected that there will be
nearly 800 eXcursionists, and everything
has been arranged to give them glori-
GUS time. The excursion train is COM
plimentary one, furnished by the st.
Paul d Duluth road. 1t will go direct
to Cloquet, and arrive there at noon,
where the party will be escorted to the
