Ionia. who are In active charge of the
building, are untiring in their efforts to
promote the pleasure and comfort of all
visitors and their work seems to be
crowned with abundant success. Here
the tired Michigander goes to find rest
on the comfortable chairs and settees
which are arranged in profusion on the
broad yerandahs and commodious par
lors and can feel proud to admit that he
comes from Michigan and that his state
has provided such tasteful and restful
place for the comfort of its citizens, in
charge of such courteous and accom-
plished officials. The members of the
Michigan Press Association we're treat
ed to a delightful luncheon on Tuesday
evening to which they did ample justice.
Wednesday was restful day spent at
! Niagara Falls. The greatest cataract
in the world formed a strong attract
ion for the editorial party. The Gorge
Road ride was especially enjoyed. Both
banks of the lower Niagara are crowd
ed with historical interest. On the
Ontario side are Lundy's Lane, the
scene of memorable fight; Brooks
monument, and the old Notifications at
the mouth of the river. The majesty
and power of the Canadian falls thrilled
as did the little steamer "Maid Of the
MIST" circling in the pool below, and
the whirling rapids where brave Cap
tain Webb lost his life. And we were
cooled by the spray, though our ardor
was not dampened.
The start home was made on sched-
ule time Friday morning and the day
was a companion piece TO that restful
Sabbath day which had been spent on
Lake Erie's waters. The evening was
a happy one. Bright, original spirits
among the party improvised midway,
which was ever more hilariously enjoy
able than had been the real places of
amusement honored and made famous
by our presence while at Buffalo.
A business session of the Associa-
ton was also held at which time reso-
lutions were adopted as follows:
