PEREaRINATIONS OF THE PRESS
Account Of tho Trip In Two Staggers
From Ketchum TO the Falls.
sTAGGxR NO. 1,

Moved BY benevolence little
short of divinity in its beaatitude
and an eye TO business, The TR1B.
uNE deferred its account Of the per.
ordinations Of the State Press
Association until some 25 journal
lists had RECALLED the public with the
choicest fruits of their imaginations
Our fraternal instincts are con.
stantly melting US to acts of self
sacrifice, and, besides, we know
that the press will cherish US
more fondly while satisfied to oc.
cupy the distinction Of q slow
coach. The profuse acknowledg-
ments Of our brethren have relieved
us Of the physical labor Of express
ing thanks to the good people Of
Ketchum for their generous and
elaborate entertainment. We need
only to register . hearty amen an
pass on to other confiscations.
This permits Us to enjoy that tired
feeling without any serious inter-
ruption. We were apprehensive
for a time that the poet lariat
might evade the responsibilities of
his Office and that it would devolve
on us to WOO the sleepy muse, but
he came to taw in fine style with
both iambic feet, and our little
holne-cured ode died a bornin.
We had conceived q delicate little
gem in pink and ultramarine, but
it withered up and perish before
the radiant CLEAN of the bright
October sun with silver at ratio
Of 16 TO land no compromise.
We have few private obligations
to discharge, however, and with
the gentle readers indulgence will
proceed. The Ketchum Keystone
did us the honor to detail special
envoy to 60 out on Wood river and
watch us capture trout, and Mr..
Judge supplied package Of bait,
that threw redolent light on the
piscatorial industry. 1t had a
6ne boquet. Mr.. Rooms, the Enter
prise man, del gratia, attended to
the manual business of tho exped.
ision, while the Independent and
the TRIBUNE made q scientific an.
alysis Of the bait. Qualitatively it
was all right, but quantitatively the
percentage of package to content.
ents was painfully disproportionate.
We also desire to make honorable
mention of GEO, J. LEWIS. He wae
very kind and showed US special
consideration. Some day when
we get toned up we may compose
. panegyric that will do him jus
tice. His address of welcome tc
the members Of the press was
perhaps, . triAe too personal in it,
application and we felt the hot
blood suffuse our gall on several
occasions when there was q direct.
ness about the remarks that fasten.
ed all eyes upon US. But the
gentleman had . deep knowledge
Of the subject. He seemed K
read us like an open book. En-
vious people may suspect conniv
ance, but we are innocent. W.
had no idea that . comparative
stranger would talk about Us lik.
chat in public. The Ketchun
ceople treated us right royalty al
along tho line aud any acknowi.
edgment We might make would
but meagerly express or graft
Mde. The most pronounced exhib
it;on Of their benovolence, though
vas manifest at the public seance
given by the association. Thei,
patience and long suffering was
truly pathetic. Thropphopt the
