Several Of the editors were of the
firm opinion that Grand Forks was
woefully lacking in fire protection, on.
ly one hose department being in evil
dencc during the entire session. In
Devils Lake they will have the lake
SO that is some satisfaction.
Edgar L. Richter of the Larimore
Pioneer, who has been persuing the
elusive item for the Evening Times
was very much in evidence and was
one Of the best boosters that Devils
Lake had. ~
Devils Lake was represented by all
it's newspaper men, Editors Mitchell
and Austin leaving Friday morning
while ]. H. Bloom and D. V. Brennan
arrived Saturday.
One Of the best suggestions made al
the business session was that of Sec
rotary Holbein regarding the futur;
competitions and it is one that should
he acted upon by the committee II
charge.
There was general opinion that
there was little too much cost sys
tom injected into the business scs.
