Owing to the most important por
tion OF the convention doings Of the S
+. S. f. of A. coming last Saturday
We were unable TO give any Of the de
tails Of the work in our issue las
week.
One Of the most interesting questions
Of the session was that OF the place OF
the next meeting. There was a quasi
4 understanding last year. when Crysts
Falls was awarded the convention,
that II Hibbing should ask for il this
year the association should meet, on
the Mesaba range next year. The Min
nesota fellows were on hand to exact a
fulhllment Of the promise and when
Hibbing came out openly for the con
vention there was no opposition 10 its
selection. Accordingly the Associa-
tion will meet at that place next June
For the different Offices OF the associ
alton there was some inkling OF opposi
tion TO existing conditions but after
mature thought the delegates decided
20 let well enough alone and re-elect
the most Of the old officers. There
were few changes made but none OF
them In the important places.
J. +. Odd, president of the local
body was honored by selection as vice
