break records. The interest in the
events has already been shown In the

THE EDITORS
ALL BUT THREE WEST OF THE
RIVER HERE TO ATTEND THE
GATHERING OF THE AssocIA-
TON.

At the meeting Of the West Mis-
souri, Editorial association here We'd
nesday a number Of new members
were taken in, and business of a
routine character transacted. Among
other things, the penpushers decided
that an increase in the price for pub
fishing final proof and contest notices
was in order, and agreed that hereaf-
ter the figures should read $3.50 for
proofs and $500 for contests, SO final
proof people on the other side of Jor-
dan should paste this in their hats.
The editors felt that they were en-
titled to remuneration for publishing
purely political matter, such as is
usually sent out by the state commit
tee, and so Informed the committee,
but nc action was taken on this mat
ter. The publishers say that when a
speaker is taken cut into the country
his expense bill is paid, and that
abopt all other expenses are paid for
by the committee, and they think they
are Justly entitled for pay for their
space, and it is probable they will
stanl by this idea. .>-.,i'
In the afternoon Commissioner Gil
breath took the members of the as
ISOLATION out to the penitentiary and
to Fort Lincoln, and then dined them
at the. Northwest hotel, which cour.
tesy was highly enjoyed and appre
ciateH by the gentlemen.

some lot, and Bismarck has enjoyed
their visit and hope they will make
this their meeting place again.

one Of the greatest in q long series
Of great events. The Wheatland far
mers are experts in the line of scien-

about his trade to stand any shoR
in the competition for Wheatland
honors, and the experts come from
long distances to pit themselves
against the Wheatland cracks. The
match this year will be Of unusual
interest and the competition will be
sharp and vigorous. The people are
