We're Greatly Pleased With the Reception and Entertain
ment Accorded Them While They We're Here for
Their Outing, July 16.17-lS. .~1..
[COntinued from Yesterday.1

Long Prairie Leader: The annual
summer meeting of the North
Central Editorial Association was
held at Bemidji on Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday last. 1t was
one of the most enjoyable meetings
the association has yet held, a fact
due to the thorough way the local
committee had arranged for the
entertainment of the visitors and
the generous hospitality that was
extended by the citizens and busi-
ness men of the city.
The attendance of editors, how
ever, was disappointingly small.
There are about twenty-five editors
in the territory of the association
and it was expected that about
twenty would be present. There
were about a dozen present.
Nevertheless the territory was
well represented as there were edi.
tors present from nearly all the
larger towns and from every i'm
portant section of the territory.
The outing was one of the most
pleasant we have ever attended and
its success was due entirely to the
untiring efforts of the committee in
charge, especially the committee
members on the staff of the Daily
Pioneer.
We shall have something more to
say about Bemidji and her citizens
in a later issue.
Staples Headlight: The members s
of the Great Northern Editorial
Association who attended the
annual outing at Bemidji last week
will not soon forget the generous
hospitality extended to them by the
citizens of that progressive little
city. The attendance was far below
what it should have been, but what
was lacking in that respect was fully
made up for in the interest shown
by those who we're present and by
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1909-07-30

the royal manner in which Bemidji's
leading citizens exerted themselves
to make the visit pleasant and
worthy of remembrance. In this
matter they were eminently success
full and every editor present returned
to his home with kindly feelings to-
wards the hustling metropolis of
Northern Minnesota.
The hotel management gave ample
evidence of it's ability to handle an.
affair of this kind as the banquet
was served without hitch of any
sort. The banquet lasted far into
the night and at its close the visit
ing editors voted it a noteworthy
success and all expressed satisfac-
ton at their good fortune in being
present. A number of quite valuable
prizes, donated by the Twin City
jobbing houses, were awarded to the
visiting editors and their ladies.
Special thanks are due the Bemidji
Pioneer for special courtesies
extended to the visitors and also for
the accurate account rendered of
the entire meeting. Editors Pryor
and Rutledge have placed the
organization under lasting obliga-
tions for the able, prompt and
fraternal manner in which they
received and entertained the visit
ing brethren.
Verndale Sun: The editors in
attendance at the Great Northern
Editorial association at Bemidji last
week had an enjoyable outing if
newspaper reports of the affair can
fbe taken as any significance.
Although the attendance was small
the hospitality was large and the
reception shown the visiting editors
by the committees in charge will
long be remembered in the minds
of the pencil pushers. This paper
very much regrets its inability to
have representative present.
