Editor A. j. Dickson the first of the
week attended the midsummer meet
ing of the Colorado Editorial associa
tion at Steamboat Springs, and reports
it absolutely the best session the asso-
citation has ever held. There were over
300 excursionists on the special Mof,

along the line and the residents of
Steamboat Springs fairly outdid them
selves in the matter of entertainment.
