observations of the work up to date.
EASTERN IDAHO PRESS CLUB.
Western Publisher, (Chicago): On
che 14th of May some of the eastern
Idaho editors met at Pocatello and Or
ganized the Eastern Idaho Press Club,
outlining for it's empire ten counties
from Wood River east. The next meet
ing is to be held at Idaho Falls on June
10 and IL, and is to be made up partly of
social amenities whatever that is. At
the Pocatello meeting all were given a
drive about the city and were shown the
three reservoirs situated 500 feet above
the city on the old shore line CT the pre-
historic Lake Idaho, the same being
nephew of Lake Bonneville, now defunct.
Editor VIM. Wallin of the Pocatello
Tribune talked to the scribes Of the
wonderful valley lying below and in
IL T,l~ ~I>. &c hn
ing Post of Idaho Falls got into the hen
roost belonging to the man in charge of
the reservoirs, and routed the game
chickens, When called down for being
so sporty, he offered the excuse that he
thought he was entering power plant.
Byrd Trego was the only editor in the
bunch who brought his wife to the meet
ing. from which it was inferred that they
mad been married less than year. j.
II. Dewitt of the Soda Springs Chleftan
came into town at dusk and left on the
early morning train, which left him open
to the bantering charge of not having
settled his bills made on some other trip
to Pocatello. During round of drinks
at the Bannock Hotel, j. W. Jones of
the Rigby Star talked vigorously against
printing patent medicine ads, and Byrd
Trego, who has been trying not to print
them, got very busy showing Gus Wal
lin how to drink lemonade through two
straws placed end to end.
All the boys listened attentively to
Gus Wallin while he showed cuts of the
new linotype machine machine which he
hopes to have on exhibition at Pocatello
during the republican state convention,
August.
EAsT)IDAHo PRESS CLUB.
Rigby Star: The committee appoint
ed at the Pocatello meeting of the East
Idaho Press Club for the purpose OF
drafting constitution and bylaws for the
clubs guidance, met at the home of Mr..
and Mrs Byrd Trego, of the Republican,
at Blackfoot, Sunday, and were nicely
entertained at dinner. The editor of
the Star regrets that he was unable to
attend the meeting, but the boys seem
to have gotten along very nicely without
something we knew they could do
as they lined out their work in manner
that will most certainly meet with the
approval of the gathering that will
assemble at Idaho Falls on the 10th of
the present month. BY the way, this
meeting gives promise, from newspaper
standpoint, of being the most notable to
have ever assembled in eastern Idaho.
One pleasurable thing in connection
with the coming event is the fact that
many of the boys are arranging to bring
the queen of the household with them
and why not? She shares our sorrows
and oft times causes sunshine to enter
our lives when nothing but gloom ap
pears to be in sight. She is deserving of
just such an outing. Her queenly pres
ence will add pleasurably to the success
of the occasion.
