FELLOW MEMBERs:-The first year
Of our Association has resulted in
much good to the fraternity. 1t has
brought the newspaper men of Me-
vada into closer relationship. They
meet, and I. nm pleased to note, in
stead of their rubbing against each
other producing friction, it has the
opposite effect. Members, who a year
ago had on their war paint and were
sharpening their tomahawks to go for
each other, are today smoking the
pipe of peace together. They find by
coming personally IN contact with
each other that they are not such
monsters as they had imagined. Some
benefit has accrued to the press from
this organization. A better under
standing exists as to rates and other
matters OF importance to every news
paper publisher, and. if the regula-
tons adopted at former meetings,
we're adhered to more closely greater
benefits would result. .
Last spring the Association had it's
first annual excursion, in which near
! ly all the members participated. We
visited the Capitol city of the Golden
Gate State, attended flower festivals
at Los Angeles, ssted on CLAIMS and
cockels at Santa Monica, and on ba-
con soup mt Santa Barbara, and paid
for what we did not get at Fresno.
We we're royalty treated at Sacra-
mento. Redlands and Los Angeles,
and discovered the north pole at Santa
Barbara. In San Francisco we were
Hospitality entertained by the pro
prietor of the Occidental Hotel, and
the fam GUS Sutro baths at the Cliff
House were opened to us by the May
OF Of the city. The excursion was
one Of the most enjoyable events, and
nothing occurredto mar the pleasure
of the occasion except the snoring of
Sam Davis. Secretary Bragg's dispo-
sition to remain out late of nights,
and Chief Templar Vardy's desire to
prove the merits of his favorite brand
of soda water by actual test.
Members of this association, ! con-
! graduate you upon the success of the
organization, and l sincerely hope
that every newspaper man and woman
in the State will join our society, and
that effort will be made at the ensu,
ing session Of the legislature to repeal
such laws as are detrimental to the
press and enact such legislation as
may be deemad beneficial to our in.
terests.
The Association Immediately pro
ceeded to business and many things
Of importance to the press Of the State
were carefully considered and ar
ranged.

port which was approved.
