Enjoyed Park Festivities.

Thorough enjoyment marked the
festivities at Lincoln park Wednesday
evening when the Grand Forks hotel
men were hosts to the visitors. The
entertainment at the park followed an
automobile ride which took the visi-
tors through the city, to the university
and to the Lilac Hedge farm.
On their arrival at the park pavilion
they found a big chicken pie supper
awaiting them, with Finley's orches-
ira on hand, and after doing justice
to the edibles there was dancing. The
party did not break up till about 10
O'Clock and when the hotel men again
got back to the city, they were about
the happiest lot of visitors the city
has entertained for some time.
The hotel men are lavish in their
praise of Grand Forks entertainment,
of the city and it's beauty, and there
is not one of whom who is sorry that
the last convention decided upon
Grand Forks as this years meeting
place. They are going home thorough

Edwin K. Lee of Duluth made a

pointed to as being the real founda-

hotel men in the cities get together,
exchange ideas on questions that arise
from time to time, and that in SO
doing better understandings would
result. He also sought to show the
members of the association the ad-
visibility of avoiding "fakes,' es-
pecially in the dining room or cafe

There doubtless will be good at
tendances from North Dakota to all
general association meetings here
after, as the North Dakota members
are decidedly enthusiastic over the
organization and the work it is doing,
and particularly pleased are they
with the meeting here.
The election Of c. A. Klaus Of
Jamestown as vice president for North
Dakota meets with the general ap-
proval OF the hotel men of the state.
MIR. Klaus is one Of the best known
North Dakota landlords who has been
very successful in his field of work,
and that he will make good as vice
president of the state is assured. j.
D. Bacon of this city is the retiring
vice president for the state.
Trade papers which are represented
at the convention have been excep-
tionally fortunate in their choice of
men to care for the Northwestern
associations proceedings. There is
John Willy of the Hotel Monthly; Art
w. Gird of the Mid West and Omaha
Daily Hotel Reporter; H. E. Eastman
of the Hotel Bulletin; Barney Alisky
of Tavern Talk of Kansas City, and
H. j. Bohn of the Hotel World.
In the retirement today of President
r. w. Johnston of Fort Dodge, Iowa,
an officer who has made good in every
particular, retires from the work. Mr..
Johnston is one of the most ardent
supporters the association has, and he
has always been one of the workers
for the mutual benefit of all hotels
owners.
The Grand Forks lodge of Elks is
giving the convention visitors addi-
tional opportunities for enjoying the
stay in Grand Forks.
Charles E. Roth of the Saint Paul
is the man with the "registery" page
that has attracted much unusal in

of President Vim. Taft, with Thedo-
dore Roosevelt next in line, and with
