NOTES OF THE PRESS GANG MEETING

The Minot Reporter devoted almost
an entire issue to the doings OF the
North Dakota Press association which
held Its annual convention in the
magic city last week. Among the In
teresting personal items were the fol-
lowing:
The Official umps.
Ed Richter, the oficial jumps OF
the North Dakota Press association,
was among the arrivals this morning.
Richter has umpired every ball game
that the pen pushers have ever played
in this state and is undoubtedly the
best known mar in the association.
Richter is editor and publisher OF
The Larimore Pioneer. And not only
is Eds paper a pioneer, but he himself
is one. He came to North Dakota be-
fore North Dakota was and has been
in the entire association that isn't ac-
quainted with him in n way or an
other.
For some reason or other no other
member of the craft is the victim of as
many jokes as is this same Ed Richter
and the way they are framing up" on
him today is a caution. Ed, however,
believes that he who laughs last
laughs best and invariably manages to
get the last laugh, So he is not at all
worried over the outlook which at
present indicates a turbulent time for
his jumps" before the convention Is
over.
The State Printer.
w. w. Tousley. the genial state
printer, was among the arrivals from
Bismarck yesterday for the quill push
ers' convention. Mr.. Tousley was one
