| was followed by DalI IN the evening
in the large assembly room of the club
which was attended by the society peo-
pie of Wenatchee, and in which many
OF the newspaper men and their wives
took part
Saturday morning was devoted to a
ride and visit TO the apple orchards in
the valley surrounding the town. Some
twenty automobiles were placed at the
disposal of the editors, and led by Ira
D. Edwards, who had charge OF this,
the most interesting feature OF the
meeting, were treated to sight that
was not only new to many OF the visl-
tors, but positive revelation to some
OF them, who expressed astonishment
at the magnitude of the apple industry
in the state, at the magnificent crop
now being harvested and the large size
and beauty OF the fruit. II some OF
the editors do not become interested
in horticulture it is due to the high
price of Wenatchee land and the de-
pleted condition OF the average coun-
try editors exchequer. A photograph
of the party was taken in the WineSap
apple orchard of Mr.. Nestle, with fruit
laden trees for background. There
was universal opinion among the Wis
iting guests that the apple ride" as
the auto trip was referred to, was the
most interesting and enjoyable feature
OF the meeting. w. T. Clark, one OF
the never-ending boosters for the ia
nous valley, announced that he would
send every member of the association
box Of Jonathan apples, to be deliv-
cred sometime before Christmas.
At the afternoon session the meeting
place for 1911 was decided on. After

The 1910 meeting Of the editors of
the state was brought to close in
blaze OF post-prandial oratory at ban
quet given at the hotel Elman, at
which Dr. King, OF Wenatchee, acted,
in his inimitable and happiest mood,
as POSTMASTER. The respondents were

association; Mrs. Weathened, of the
Western Tours, w. T. Clark, Miss
Adel Parker, of the Vote for Women
magazine; Eugene Lorton, of the Walla

The down and out republicans, by
not alluding to the Subject, trick
which most of the oratora INDUCED in;
Alfred Johnson, Of the Hoquiam Wash
ingtonian responded to the toast, The
ladies present." in a happy squirt OF
humor; Miss Olive Fortier, OF the
Skagit County Courier, made brief
response to the invitation of the toast

soon forget three members of the press,

Beard OF the Vancouver Columbian,
and Lovett NJ. Wood OF the Seattle
Trade Register, who lor a brief time
