the sights and scenes, and expect tc
wind up" at the Portland exposition
within the next few days.
They will spend two or three days
in Los Angeles and vicinity as guests
citizens and from the impromptu pro-
gram arranged for their entertainment
it would seem that the Angeleno is
looking forward to considerable free
advertising in the home paper" when
the editors return to their sacred sane
toriums.
Acting Secretary Gurley of the
chamber of commerce, Director Alden
Skinner and Warren Wilson, publisher
of the Journal" were on hand to meet
the visitors when the train pulled into
the Arcade station at 2 o'clock A
ing and the entire party was escorted
to the Lankershim hotel.
There are few representatives of the
great metropolitan dailies among the
number of visitors They come from
all over the union and, as editors of
papers in cities of less than $4,000
population throughout the interior,
make up a company which has it's
ear closer to the thought and wishes
of the common people than any body
of men which has visited Los Ange-
les in years.
Local Entertainment
They were left entirely to their own
resources for entertainment yesterday,
but this morning the program conf
mences and is to last until the time of

Are Much Entertained
The visitors have found that in the
west there is nothing too good for news
paper men, and since the opening day
of the convention at Guthrie; Oklaho-
ma, it has been one continual round of
pleasure. They have seen everything
worth seeing, and if such is not the
case, it has not been the fault of those
who have played the part of hosts.
One of the principal events which was
given in their honor was that of buff
falo hunt and tournament of western
sports on the "101" ranch, sixty miles
southwest of Guthrie, where Wilson

hospitable westerners could be.
The party which arrived in Los Ange-
les yesterday includes almost one-half
the total number of those who We're in
attendance at the national convention,
as well as most of the officers of the
association. They left Guthrie a week
ago in two special trains, but at San
Antonio a part of the number returned
to their homes.
At Ell Paso they were entertained in
truly royal fashion during the twelve
hours they were there One of the at
fractions was a Spanish dance in Old
Mexico.
Here youngster with a large bundle
of newspapers boarded the train and
Tor ten minutes did an exceedingly live

Sure, know it," replied the young
precociousness, but you fellows have
been selling stale news for the last
twenty years and | am merely getting
it back on you" There was no further
complaint.
The states of Ohio and Pennsylvania
are most largely represented, each with

arrive in Los Angeles last night but
