Meet at Itasca State Park This
Summer.
STATE OFFICIALS TO BE PRESENT
Big Program Being Arranged
Championship Base Ball Con-
test to be Played.

The annual summer outing of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial assoc
iation will be held at Itasca State
Park, the headwaters of the Mississ-
ippi river, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, June 1910 II, next,
these dates having been selected by
agreement of Harold Knutson, pres
;dent, and A. G. Rutledge, secretary,
of the editorial association, M. Helm
zelman, park superintendent, and
Mrs. Heinzelman, and Editors Hara-
don and Page Of Park Rapids.
In selecting dates, President
Knutson and Secretary Rutledge
were guided largely by the SUCCESS
ton of Mr. and Mrs. Heinzelman,
who desired the dates mentioned as
being just prior to the time when
large numbers of summer visitors
will desire to go to the park for on "
ings OF several weeks, crowding ac-
commodations at the Douglas and
other lodges and creating conditions
that would make it impossible for
the superintendent and his most es-
Unable wife to give to the editors,
their wives and invited guests the
splendid good time which has been
promised for the outing.
President Knutson has delegated
to Secretary Rutledge the working
out of the program and other de-
tails for the outing. Editors Hara-
don and Page of Park Rapids, to-
gether with Representative L. H.
Rice and a committee from the Park
Rapids Commercial club, will work
in conjunction with the secretary
and Mr.. and Mrs. Heinzelman in
| arranging splendid accommodations
and entertainment for the visitors
who go to Park Rapids and the
park for the outing.
Among those who will attend the
outing are Governor Eberhart, Lieu
tenant Governor Gordon, and posi-
bly, Speaker Dunn of the house of
representatives. Governor Eber-
hart attended the outing of the edi-
TORS which was held at Walker last
summer; and the "boys and girls
had so much fun with him, in his
capacity as private citizen that
there is universal demand that the
chief executive lay aside the cares
of state and again be present. The
governor umpired the ball game,
rowed boat and fished, played the
violin and piano, and joined in the
singing with rich voice that Gust
fit" Lieutenant Governor Gordon,
besides being president of the Mime
sofa State Editorial association, is
an active member of the Northern
Minnesota association and is count
ed upon to do his share in fishing,
swimming, boating and generally
making himself useful. The pencil
pushers are anxious to have Speaker
Dunn present. He is product of
southern Minnesota, but his eminent
fairness and justice to this section
during the session that is now coming
to close has created a desire to get
better acquainted with the gentle
man from Freeborn and to demon
strate to "Abraham Lincoln that
northern Minnesota has the most
hospitable people on earth.
In connection with the presence of
Governor Eberhart, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Gordon and Speaker Dunn, it
is given out positively that politics
must be eschewed by the editors and
their friends during the outing. A
breach of this rule will place the
offender in line for ducking in the
lake hear Douglas lodge.
Although the details of the outing
have not as yet been definitely work.
