their wives, daughters, sisters and
sweethearts are being entertained by
the city of Devils Lake today at an
immensely successful picnic at the
Devils Lake chautauqua grounds. All
day long the editors have been en-
joying themselves, partaking of the
city's hospitality, which has most. as
suredly been of the most hearty
character.
With the close of the business ses-
sion yesterday the editors Immediate
ly dropped the cares of life and went
to play. Their first excursion into
the land Of fun came when they at
tended the baseball game between
New England and Devils Lake, with
the home team winning. Then there
was theatre party at the grand that
proved immensely enjoyable, and aft
or that there was the grand ball at
tended by very large number and
certainly very thoroughly enjoyed by
all. Splendid music was provided
and the citizens of Devils Lake spar
ed no pains that would tend to add
to the evenings pleasure.
This morning shortly after 9
o'clock the association visitors were
taken by Devils Lake automobile
owners to the chautauqua grounds on
the shores of the lake south of the
city. At the end of the delightful
drive everything was found to be
in complete order for the entertain
ment of the day, and the pen pushers
lost no time in taking advantage Of
that fact. All day long they have
had just one round of pleasure, the
program being replete with interest
ing features that have made the day
one Of the very best.
The Resolutions.
At the close of yesterday after
moons session resolutions were
adopted, being as follows:
Resolved, that the North Dakota
Press association extends a vote of
appreciation and gratitude to the cit
izens of Devils Lake; to President
Horton, its active and energetic
commercial club; to the Chautauqua
association and to the farmers of
Ramsey county for their cordial en-
tertainment and courtesies extended.
We also feel that the Press asso-
citation should recognize the courtesy
and liberality of the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and 500 railroads in
furnishing transportation to members
Of the association.
We thank the legislative commit
tee for the good work done on be-
half of the association and recon-
mend that the same committee be-
cause Of the splendid ability shown
and the good results obtained be re-
tained for further services at the
next legislative session.
Resolved, that we extend our
thanks to the present officers of the
association for their excellent work
In increasing the membership of the
organization and extending it's pow
ers for good.
We extend our thanks to Hon.
James A. Gray Of Minneapolis and f.
A. Behounek and other speakers for
their able addresses.
And last Of all we feel that the
thanks of the association are due to
Director Sam Sousa Haislett and
other members Of the N. d. p. A.
who so kindly volunteered their serv-
Ices and furnished such soul-inspiring
music for our summer meeting.
The Editorial Band.
Sam Haislett and his editorial band
have been making q great hit. This
organization has in it's membership

thp state and the pencil pushers, who
fdf the time have laid aside their
treublee. are blowing out some de-
citedly fine music for the benefit of
the association.
