Oregon Editors
at Nye Creek

The annual session of the Oregon
State Editorial Association was held at
Newport, or, to draw it fine Nye Creek.
on the 22d, 23d and oath inst The
meetings were held at the Irwin
Club, the pretty sample copy of the
Forestry Building, which was leading
feature of the Lewis & Clark Fair.
The members OF the Association
found good accommodations, special
rates and courteous treatment at the
Irwin House, the Mcdonald and the
Nyebrook and gave expression to their
appreciation in resolution.
The editor of The LEADER is also in
debted to Mr.. Irwin for the loan of
some dry garments. We haven't space
for the story.
This was one of the most important
sessions of the Association, the desire
to do business overbalancing the strong
inclination TO geL out and indulge in an
unrestrained mixup with the beauties
OF Nature.
The Oregon Press Association is tax
ing the initiative in the effort to secure
much valuable state and national legis-
lation, of which it is not necessary to
speak at this time. An exhaustive dis
cussion Of the various subjects re.
suited in pretty thorough understand
ing, and the Legislative committee will
do the rest-or attempt to- This will
all come out in the wash of January
1907, when both the Legislature and
the Press Association will be in session
In Salem. 1t is not out of order to
panse here and remark that the Oregon
Press Association is the most active as
well as the most effective "push club"
or development league" in the state.
What would other organizations accom-
plish without its cooperation?
An interesting bit of discussion re-
suited from the report of the com.
mittee on resolutions. One resolution
pledged the support Of The Oregon
Press ASSOCIATION to the equal suffrage
canse-and the fight was on. The
friends OF the resolution were largely in
the majority until the Hon. Frank
Davey of Salem uncorked big jug of
sophistry, and then it was all off with
the girls. Frank is Irish, YOU know.
And hereby hangs tale, which shows
how very little regard he has for the
rights and tender feelings of women.
Mr.. Davey was very attentive to busi-
ness until adjournment, after which he
proceeded to have good time-in
gentlemanly, wholesome way, of course.
The anniversary of Mrs. Davey's birth
arrived Tuesday and Mr.. Davey de-
clded that trolling for salmon would be
lifting way in which to celebrate the
important occasion. Accordingly he
armed himself with complete and mod
ern fishing tackle, but supplied his
worthy and confding better half with
line attached to little pinhook. 1t
rs needless to state that the salmon
which Mrs. Davey caught have not been
reported, but the Hon. Frank landed
four-one beautiful % pound chinook.
How's that for an Irish trick, perpe
trated by the Cicero of the Oregon
Press Association and an aspiraut for
the Speakership of the Oregon House
of Representatives?
The election of officers of the Associ-
alton for the ensuing year resulted as
follows:
President, G. L. Ireland of Moro:
First Vice President, II. Woodward
of Newberg; Second Vice President,
ID. W. Bath of Hillsboro; Secretary,
Albert Tozier of Salem Treasurer, Miss
Frances E. Gotshal of Portland. Mr..
Tozier and Miss Gotshall have held
their respective offices for years, l,
melled recognition of ability and
fidelity The retiring President, ]. C.
Hayter of the Dallas Observer, has
made good to an extent not surpassed
by any OF his predecessors, and it is to
his energy and zeal that the Association |
today, more than ever before, is entitled |
TO recognition as an organization for
the good of the public or, as the Hou,
FRANK Davey would put it, pro bono
publico. That's Irish, you know.
