STORE FOR GUESTS.
A large representation from every
corner of the state was on hand this
morning at the opening session Of the
seventh annual meeting Of the County
Auditors Association Of North Dakota.
Shortly before II CLOCK the auditors
gathered at the court house, where, due
to the absence Of President w. I. Hea-
ley of the association, Secretary w. w.
Felson of Pembina called the gathering
to order. Auditor R. V. Bice Of Devils
Lake was elected president pro tenn and
the meeting proceeded with the address
Of welcome by Mayor P. J. McClory.
In his address Mayor McClory
brought back recollections Of old times
when the Office of county auditor was
considered more of side issue and the
register of deeds played the important
part. He compared this with the pres
ent day, showing how the immense
work has required seperate and distinct
offices and the work of the auditor was
indeed large since he is the guardian
Of all the agents Of the county and has
to deal with the collection as we'll as
the expenditure Of funds.
Mayor McClory called attention to
the fact that cooperation was neces-
sary, so that the auditors might be bet
ter qualified and the people served, thus
the proper benefit could be reaped. The
keys of the city were turned over to the
visitors and Mayor McClory hoped that
the meeting in Devils Lake which the
committee had arranged would always
bring pleasant memories in future
years.

dress Secretary Felson thanked Mayor
