While there are quite number OF
members here, the committee on pro-
gramme reported that there was only
one present to whom had been as.
signed the duty of reading paper.
In consequence the morning session
was passed in a rather inforfnal way.
Mr. Aull told Of the arrangements for
the trip to Denver, and Col. Hoyt
urged the editors to take the trip: He
told OF many things to be seen in the
great and somewhat unique State Of
Colorado. Quite number announced
that they had decided to 60.
Senator D. E. Hydrick made the ad-
dress of welcome on behalf Of Mr..
Jas. r. Harris, proprietor Of the
springs. Mr.. Hydrick spoke with
pride Of the growth of the county,
and declared that Mr. Harris is one of
the new citizens who have helped to
make it great. Attention was called
to the fact that this county was once
so poor that it asked the legislature to
pay it's taxes. Now it is third in
wealth. He paid a fine tribute to the
newspaper man, declaring that in his
opinion the successful editor is the
best informed most widely read man
in the world Of business,
Senator Ragsdale replied very
pleasantly to Mr.. Hydrick's remarks
and declared that he, for one, is ready
to come here every year:

OF reconstruction from 1868 to 1876
and he is anxious for the editors Of
the State to give him all information
they can.
