one of life for the enterprising city of

never received more intelligent welcome
than at Yakima. / use the word "intel-

OF an intelligent dispensation of bospitali.
ties. This did not occur at this place.

From social point of view the meeting
was par excellence. The editor is fra
ternal being naturally, aud at North
Yakima he met his equal in the personnel
of the Women's club and the Commercial
club. These organizations united IN ten
dering reception to the visiting editors
Thursday night. And such a reception
as it proved to bel In the cosy simplci
ty of the entertainment, in recognition Of
the fact that the editor has brains as well
as stomach and heels, and in the respect
shown for the saefedness OF motherhood
and the dignity OF womanhood, the re-
ception rendered by the North Yakima
people faf surpassed any like occasion we
have witnessed on the coast. The editors
accepted cordial invitation from Van.
couver, Washington, to hold the next
session of the association in that beauti-
full city. But Vancouver must not ex-
pect to outrival Yakima in the affections
of the editorial fraternity of the state. 1t
simply cannot be done.
