In the Harness Again.

A. Z. Voorhies returned Friday
night from attendance at the 18th an
nual session of the National Editorial
Association at Indianapolis, having
been accompanied there by Mrs.
Voorhies and Master Earle. The trip
so far as attendance at the convention
was concerned was not a success as
washouts in Montana caused delay
of 40 hours at Billings and
change of rcute which landed the
party at indianapolis on the last day
of the convention without baggage
and thoroughly tired out. Two hours
we're spent in the convention hall and
the greater part of the balance OF the
time at the Indiana capitol was spent
in bed. The remainder OF the trip
was a success in every way and was
thoroughly enjoyed. 1t included short
visits at Greenwich. Norwalk and
Cleveland in Ohio and Detroit, Grand
Rapids and Stanton, Michigan, and u
two weeks stay at their old home In
Greenville, Mich, where Mrs. Voor-
hies and Earle will visit her parents,
returning to Grants Pass early in
September.
The return trip included short stops
at Chicago, Denver. Colorado
Springs, Manitou, trip to the top OF
Pixies Peak via the Cog Wheel rail-
way, day in the Mormon stronghold
Salt Lake City. visit with relatives
at Grand Junction, Colo and a look
at the ruins at San Francisco. For
tunately no warm weather was en-
countered until leaving Ogden, and
then it commenced in good earnest.
The hot and dry deserts of Nevada,
the fertile but hot valley OF the Sacra'
mento and the dry, brown mountains
of Northern California are places
which were looked upon with disavo'
by all of the passengers. 1t was re-
lief TO reach the Oregon line and once
more gaze upon the vegetation whicf
covered the mountains, and the Valley
Of the Rogue seemed like haven o.
rest after spending days travelling
through the barren wastes Of Nevad'
and California.

Most of these originated in Massa-

gangs are small ones, and it is the
desire to increase the number of men

probably about 100 in number, and
the work will then progress at a much
faster rate. than is now the case.
