over, verbal bouquets were exchanged.
The occasion was the visit to this city
Of the North Dakota Press association.
The members Of the association had
been to the coast and were returning
TO their homes. The Press club Of this
city had been watching for the visi-

change in the itinerary Of the party
they We're delayed. When they arrived
they took the local scribes somewhat
by surprise, but the welcome the mem
bers received was none the less cor
dial
The editors from the blizzard lands
Of the far north brought their wives
and sweethearts with them. That is
some Of them did. The latter were
included in the embrace which the
visitors received but as it was only
an embrace in a hgurative sence No
Dakota hearts were broken and no
jealousies were excited.

The party arrived yesterday morn
ing at 8 O'Clock in a special car from
the coast They had heightened their
journey i've days on the coast and had
been delayed thirteen hours on the
way by a freight wreck near Tracy.
All these delays interfered with an
elaborate programme which the Press

days ago. The carriage drives. moon
light rides and the bah. parties and
banquets had TO be cut out because
the party could not remain. A delega-
ton from the Press club took the visi-

would have happened If they had made
preparations 20 stay longer.
The party was dined at the Com
