newspaper men had at Steamboat
Springs the first OF last week. 1t
was the summer meeting Of the Col
orado Editorial association. The as
sociation holds two meetings year.
One in January. always in Denver.
when business is the prominent fea-
ture of the meeting, and another IN
midsummer. usually held in some
cool summer resort town when an
effort is made 10 forget business as
far as possible and have little fun.
There is usually a session or two at
the summer meeting at which the
ethics of the profession Is discussed.
But there is not much disposition
to discuss shop at the summer meet
ing.
This years meeting was the most
successful in the history of the or
ganization in point OF numbers.
The special train which pulled out
on the Moffat road Sunday morning
carried about three hundred and fifty
newspaper folks. About half of the
number were publishers or editors
and the others were the women and
children depending upon them. 1t
was a good natured crowd out for
good time.
The trip over the Monat road is a
delight to all under any condition. II
is one of the spectacular railroad
trips of the world. 1t abounds in
magnificent scenes and is a revela-
ton even to those who have lived IN
the mountains all their lives.
The thing that intereses all is the
great amount Of snow along the track
on the pass and ON all the mountains
about. One sees more snow along the
Moffat road in summer perhaps than
along any other road In the country.
A stop was made at Hot sulphur
Springs in the afternoon where Capt.
Howard. Judge Palm and the other
good citizens had provided a trout
fry. II was great Enough fine. even
sized mountain trout for $50 people
and more fried right before your
eyes in great open-air frying pans.
Hot sulphur Springs Il not d
for other things. perhaps. bat
II will be long remembered by news
paper men as the place OF the big
trout fry. The Older newspaper men
know Sulphur. for they were
handsomely entertained there a few
years ago. and many pleasant memor-
les hang about that trip as well q.

The schedule was made out TO ar
rive in Steamboat Springs at nine
o'clock. but owing TO a broken engine
the town was not reached until three
o'clock in the morning. BY a strange
fate on the return trip another little
wreck occurred which put the bunch
in Denver at about the same hoar
Wednesday morning. Two days on
train from early morning until thrse
o'clock the next morning gives an 90
portunity OF making long and lasting
acquain<ances. IL also brings out the
disagreeable traits in people II there
are any. But never saw such a
large bunch OF people who took bad
luck and long hours so cheerfuiiy as
this bunch OF newspaper people.
There wasn't a kicker on the train.
Steamboat Springs is charming
little city OF about 200 people. I.
is on the Bear river surrounded ~
beautiful green hills and timbeTnd
mountains. 1t was Cool and comfort
able. A more extended mention must
be given to II in some future issue.
Monday was gay day in Steam-
boat. and 2 long day. too. From early
morning until late midnight there
were things doing. Drives into tho
mountains. to the strawberry fields.
