The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-10-29

The editors of Oregon will hold their
next annual gathering at Hood River,
in 1904, thanks to Mrs Edith Tozier
Weatherred, George II. Hines and a
box of big red apples distributed by
f. N. Blythe of the Glacier. And they
are coming, too. Everybody in Oregon
has heard of Hood River. Those who
have been here are anxious to come
again, while the Others, having been
told all about Hood River hospitality,
scenery and fruits, wish to enjoy these
good things themselves.
The sessions of the Press Association
at Salem last week were well attended,
and altogether it was very successful
and profitable meeting. Some excel
lent papers were read containing advice
and suggestions valuable to newspaper
makers. The Salem Press club looked
after the entertainment of the visitors,
and Editors Hofer of the Journal and
Hendricks of the Statesman worked
night and day to see that everything
went off in good shape.
President Arthur Conklin of Grant
Pass presided at the meetings. Albert
To2ier of Portland was there as secre-
tary, of course. His annual report
showed among other things that there
are 226 publications in Oregon, of which
l9 are dailies, lS0 weekles, semi
weekly, IS monthlies, l semI-monthly
and quarterly.
Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway attended
all the sessions. She Is one of the old
est members of the association, and
Thursday evening her co-workers in
journalism joined Mrs. Edyth Tozier
Weatherred in a resolution extending
greeting to Mrs, Duniway, it being the
Goth anniversary of her birth. Ore
CONS ablest advocate of equal suffrage
has lost not one whit of the mental
vigor of her former years, and declares
her cause is only sleepng-a sleeping
lion, as she expressed it.
Among the addresses of particular
interest was one by Dennis II. Stovall,
whose subject was, "How One Secures
Recognition as a Writer for Monthly
Magazines. Mr. StOvall lives ut
Grants Pass. He has bright future
as writer.
Newspaper Circulation" was told of
by Wilbur F. Brock of the Portland
Oregonian. On this topic Mr. Brock
was perfectly at home, and to many
his remarks were particularly interest
ing.

John Ii. Cradlebaugh, who is now
telegraph editor and paragrapher on
the Salem Evening Journal, read the
following poem. Cradlebaugh is the
same iovial John, and still has long
ing in his big warm heart for Hood
River:
THE PRESS.
'Tis good to meet, albeit once year,
To greet each other and each other cheer.
Forgetting each, those little digs and filings
Begot Of politics, and other things
With which we're won't as the occasion needs,
To warm each other for alleged msdeeds,
To leave at home the editorial "we,"
And use, like common folks, just ''I'' and
"me."
To spend few days, idle careless, blessed.
And give our readers much-needed rest;
To cut loose, as 'twere, from all things evil.
To choose our company and eschew the devil.
Forget, then, for the time, the daily grind.
Leave items, copy, even ads behind.
Within these walls, indeed, there's naught to
fear;
No mad subscriber can ind entrance here:
No good ''old citizen" can here ind room;
'VoN Popuh" grow silent as the tomb;
The "old subscrjber" " with an AK 20 grind
May knock, and knock, snd We, no entrance
find:
