I'VE, the North Dakota Press Associ-
alton, in meeting assembled, hereby
return our thanks to the Northern
Pacific, 500, Milwaukee and Great
Northern railroads for their treatment
in so handsomely extending to the news
paper men of the state courtesies in the
way of transportation to Bismarck and
especially to the Northern Pacific road
for furnishing special car for the use
of the newspaper men while enroute
from Fargo and intermediate points. We
also wish to express our appreciation of
the kindness of the Washburn railroad
through it's manager, E. II. Walker, for
the pleasant and instructive trip afforded
us by the special train to the Washburn
mines where, through his courtesy, the
visitors we're privileged to witness the
actual workings of Ignite coal mines
where electric power is used for oper-
ating; also for the bountiful lunch
served at the Wilton hotel by his di-
rection.
To the members of the legislature our
association extends greetings and rejoices
in the kindly spirit which seems to pre-
vail toward the newspapers by that
body. The newspaper boys have prob
ably been the legislators best friends
both before and after election. The
press expects no special favor but feels
that it is entitled to just consideration
in all matters pertaining to its welfare,
which consideration we are happy to cay
this legislature seems freely to giveu US.
We acknowledge kindly courtesies at
the hands of Senator G. B. Little, al
ways friend of the newspaper fratern-
ity and one of the best of good fellows
generally. Also the association, through
it's lady members, wishes to extend to
Mrs. w. F. Gushing its thanks for her
kindly remembrance to it while in session

We appreciate the thoughtful kind
ness, in Mayor and Mrs. Patterson in
rendering us reception and ball, which
we know from past pleasureable enter
tainmonts given in the old Sheridan,
| will be most charming and long to be
remembered. Also to Mr.. Patterson for
the use of his meeting room.
We are happy in the knowledge that
we have in our ranks gallant soldier
and editor who has distinguished him
self in the Philippines in the late war
with Spain and who desires again to
serve his country. Therefore we take
pleasure in Endorsing the application Of

d. N. G., for captaincy in the regular
army Of tho United States, and respect

of war in conformity with the many let
ters of endorsement from General Otis
and other commanding officers under

that such appointment will rebound to
the credit of our country, our state and
our association, and that we instruct
the secretary to wire the above resolu-
| tion to our congressional delegation with
the request that same be urged before
the secretary of war.
