Voice of the Press

Secretary ]. w. Jones of the Press
Club, is writing to some of the news
paper men of the district who are
not members, to invite their attention
to the advantages of joining the
bunch of boosters at the Blackfoot
meeting. He is right in saying that
none can afford to stay out or miss
this meeting. In speaking of the
proposed booster supplement, he says
the idea is an excellent one, and the
most practical way of giving the
meetings the attention, and the dis
trict the publicity they deserve.
The Mackay Miner is very loyal to
its mining interests, and never misses
a chance to bring the mineral wealth
of the district to the attention of the
press. Dill says that if it were pos

do so, but that even printers ink
is inadequate to do it. He Is looking
forward to a meeting at Mackay,

editor can afford to come so far
to be with us, we can afford to ar
range special chair for him on the
principle of Because of your i'm
portunities we love you"
1t is noticeable that men connected
with printery in several big cities
between the Missouri River and the
Coast are asking If it would be out
of place for them to be in town when
the Press Club is here-not as part
of the bunch, but just to be stand

plan to shed some of its enthusiasm
