Springs, Combining the Greatest OF
Scenic Views, the Plcasantest
ofSocial RcuniOnand Etiu-
Cational Advantages.
Education and recreation, these are
objects sought by the annual excursions
of the Minnesota Editors and Publishers

complished than by the trip just
completed. Omaha and Its really
great exposition; Denver, the queen
city of the West; the Georgetown
loop that marvel OF railway en-
cheering; Silver Plume mining town
and visit to one OF the greatest OF
Americas gold and silver mines: Colorado
Springs, tittingly called the Saratoga OF
the West; Manitou Springs at the very
base OF Pixies Peak, and ride to the
mountains top, and those wonders OF ma
ture, the Garden of the Gods, and Chey-
enne canon, and every day clear plue
skies and bright sunshine. Could any
week contain more delightful or more
instructive trip. Not the least OF the
marvels was the way this excursion, anu
all of this associations excursions, was
planned and handled. 1t is fact that
no other association of editors, state or
national, has it's outings so systematized
as are Minnesota's; and To the executive
committee be the credit given. The pre-
liminary notices fully outlining the trip
all editors in the state receive. Those
who decide to go make an advance de-
post and on reaching ST. Paul find the
committee ready. They then pay the
entire actual expense OF the trip less
the advance payment, and get an enVel-
ope on which is their name and the
section and car which is to be their
home. In the envelope is Il coupon book
