son; ."rhe Personal" by F. R. Morrissey;
'"The Ready Prints by H. P. Hall; "The
Use of Stereotypes and Apparatus in
Country Offices" by D. Ranaley.
Considerable discussion followed con-
corning the rates to be charged for for
eign advertisements, with the usual re-
suit ,that each one. convinced against his
will, was Of the same opinion still. =
Aside from the reading Of the papers, the

The evening meeting was rather unique
and as the train for Winnipeg was to start
at a late hour, the Nprthwestern News

time was, however, too. limited to per-

The tenth annual meeting OF the assc-
citation convened in the supreme court
room in St. Paul. Jan. 10, 1877, with the
president, LibertyYHall, in the chair. Only
twenty one members were represented at
this meeting. but a two days session was
held, and great deal Of business Of in
terest to the newspapers was transacted.
An effort was made to pass a resolution
for the repeal of the law giving news
papers $4,000 exemption. This had been
secured at Ignatius Donnelly's in
stance, at the meeting in 1875. and the
effort to pass the reTealing resolution Was
delayed by being laid over until the fol-
! lowing year. There were the usual reso-
luttons calling upon the editors of the
state to support the association better,
but as they had been passed at nearly
every meeting since the association was
made, it seemed waste of effort.
A list Of minimum advertising rates was
presented by H. p. Hall, who had been
appointed a committee the previous year,
in the annual report, NO further progress
was made in that direction. The officers
chosen Were as follows: -
President-J. K. Moore, st. Peter Tribune.

The death Of Frank Daggett of the
Litchfield News Ledger, one Of the editors
participating in the organization of the
association and always present and active
at every meeting. was officially announced
at this meeting. It occurred at Ltchfield
on the 18th of August, 1876. Appropriate
resolutions were adopted, and there was
no editor in the state at that time who
did, not feel that in the death Of Frank
Daggett he had met with a personal loss.
