welcome during their visit in Minot.
The many courtesies so generously
extended ARE deeply appreciated by
| the association members attending the
summer meeting. We bespeak for
Minot a most promising future and
assure the citizens OF the western
metropolis that this meeting has
marked a most pleasing epoch in the
life of every member present.
Special thanks are due and are
| hereby rendered TO A. ID. Albert, as
sociate publisher of The Minneapolis
Tribune for his interesting and high
fy instructive address or How to Make
a Better Newspaper, which was SO at
| tentively and enthusiastically received
by his listeners. 1t was an honor to
the association to have Mr.. Albert re-
spond so readily to our presidents
invitation to address the meeting. The
speakers remarks were entertaining
instructive and elevating throughout
the entire address, and furnished a
strong incentive for improved condi-
tons in newspaperdom.
Some Band.
The future Of the North Dakota
Press association lies in the existence
Of its splendid concert band, presided
over by that peerless leader, Professor
Haiglett. Although special rehearsals
have been impossible, the class of mu-
sic rendered by this popular organ
ization is far in advance of the aver
age and general appreciation OF the
bands efforts under Prof. Haislett is
expressed on all sides.
"The able effort of Colonel Streeter
In responding to the address of well
come by Mayor Halvorson was a mas
terly one and served to further en-
dear h colonel to his fellow crafts
men. His remarks were profoundly
logical and extremely encouraging to
the newspaper boys of the association.
The diligent work Of the ofncers of
the association is to be commended.
The association has never been in bet
ter shape since it's origin. The best
of fraternal feeling prevails and the
business of h association is in ex-
cellent condition, due largely to the ef-
forts of its officers. Their efforts
should be further encouraged through
further sympathy and prompt pay
ment of dues.
ITO our president Mr.. Black, we ex-
tend our most hearty thanks for his
excellent vocal rendition during our
Fsummer meeting, all of which were
thoroughly enjoyed ard appreciated.
We particularly extend our thanks to
the Metropolitan City band for the
| excellent concert given for u benefit
last evening. The citizens OF Minot
are to be congratulated on the possess
sion of such a splendid musical organ
ization."
