Press association, accompanied by their
wives and daughters, came in from
the north over the oregon Short Line
this morning and spent a few hours in
this city prior to leaving for Denver
and the worlds fair, on the Rio Grande
at S.lj this afternoon. Refreshed by
a good nights rest on the cars they
were in merry mood when they
allghted ready to explore Salt Lake
The party left Boise yesterday after
noon at o'clock there then being but
% on the car at that time, including the
ladies' At various points in southern
Idaho other moulders Of public thought
climbed on the train until by the time
the Idaho state line was reached the
delegation was UP TO its full strength,
Upon arriving here everyone en-
deavored to make the strangers feel as
though they were at home-perhaps
more so for the doors were thrown
wide open. After O preliminary canter
around the business portion Of the city
Manager Langford OF the Salt Lake &
Los Angeles road and Saltair beach APP
peared upon the scene and escorted
the stick, pastpot and pencil manipu-
Iators to Fourth West where a special
train was awaiting to take them out
10 saltalr. After rapid run they spent
nearly an hour out at the resort There
was considerable char INDUCED In
but none could be induced to try the
buoyant waters OF the lake. S. D. Taylor
the Kootenai Herald, who puts in HIS
spare time In fishing at Bonners Ferry
when Job work is slack, bit most grace
fully at the time honored gag anent the
beautiful salt maclterel that inhabit
the lake and live on the shrimps, while
several other hoary- headed Jokes that
ore kept on ice for the inqulsltive tour
ist were sprung with great eclat on
the Joyous aggregation.
The visit 10 the lake was the occasion
nj copious notes on the part Of the
scribes, who spoiled considerable virgin
paper during short and interesting
lecture on the great Dead Sea Of Amerl-
ca by Prof. Marcus Jones, while /. u.
Diehl Of the Utah Press association did
the honors for the country papers or
the Beehive state.
There was one man who did not ac-
company the party He was f.. w. Ellis,
associate editor Of the Idaho Magazine,
published in Boise. Ellis has grown n
most beautiful crop Of whiskers spec
tally for the occasion, and his friends
failed TO recognize him. He wanted to
have a peaceful time and 1eclared that
since leaving Boise the pace had been
something terrific. He was on hand,
however, In time TO take In the lunch
con at the Commercial club following
the trip on the "Seeinr Salt Lake" car.
The party eventually left over the
Rio Grande this afternoon after ex-
pressing their appreciation OF the
courtesies received at the hands or
Salt Lake. They VIII make stops at
Denver and Kansas City before Ste
