The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1913-01-23

had we the sympathetic apprec-
iation OF q Goldsmith we could
lonly begin to realize the hospi-
tality Of Wahpeton; and had we
the brush Of Gainsborough we
could not do justice to the fair
ladies Of Wahpeton-so what's
the use, except to, add, as our dog
Bruno says, "There are no wops
In Wahpeton." "-Wolford Mirror.
The winter meeting of the state
press association held at Wah-
peton on Friday and Saturday OF
llast week was the best, the most
profitable and of the greatest en-
joyment Of any winter meeting
held in the history Of the organ
ization.. The Wahpeton people
have the facility of making the
stranger feel at home the minute
he enters within their gates. II
= seems as il every wish was anticl
pated, even before it was express
ed. Wahpeton is the biggest lit.
tie city in the state and its people
cannot be excelled for hospitli-
ty, joviality and good fellowship
Two live-wire business associa-
tions are to be found in Wahpe-
ton, the commercial club and the
boosters club. These organiza-
tions are at all times alive to the
best interests of the town, and as
entertainers and boosters they
spare neither time nor expense
The wonderful business, manu-
featuring and commercial activi-
ty Of this city is good to behold
on. every hand is progress and
push. In addition to the cO1lsnef-
cial advantages, this pretty little
ely on the Red, is one of the best
educational centers in the North
west, being the home of a hall
dozen institutions of learning,
chief of which is the state school
'of science, an institution that is
teaching the young mind the prac
tical side Of life as well as the
social. Here almost every trade
of interest to North Dakotans is
taught, and the school is enjoy
ing prosperity to a marked de-
gree, largely due to the splendid
management and influence Of
Prof. Smith. In closing, we wish
to pay a tribute to the excellent
service and hospitality Of the Mer
chants hotel and its excellent man
ager, Mr.. Authorization Globe.

The editor of this paper re-
turned the first of the week from
Wahpeton where we attended the
meeting Of the North Dakota Press
association. The meeting was va
ted by all in attendance to have
been the best ever held in the his
tory of the association. Practi-
cally the entire two days were
taken up in the business affairs
before the convention and to say
that it was a successful meeting
would be putting it mild. Many
very interesting papers were read
and many discussions pertaining
to the printing business, kept
everyone interested. We believe
that the benefits from this gath
|ering received by those in attend
ance will we'll repay them for the
expense of attending besides the
pleasure of visiting one ofthe best
entertaining cities in North Da-
kota. The people Of Wahpeton
sure know how to entertain and
during the entire two or three
days stay there was not dull
moment. Editor Bob Hughes Of
the Globe-Gazette and Cameron
Of the Times were on the job all
the time with plenty Of help from
the city to show the boys a good
time. Wahpeton has many at
fractions. too among which were
the State Science School where
we were entertained g part Of tile
time. Editor Hughes was the
right man in the right place for
he filled his place as toastmaster
at the banquet as few could have
done. We don't know whether
he slept or not as he was on the
Job all the time. The ladies OF
EWahpeton also played a promi-
nent part in the entertainment OF
their guests and we must say
that a more entertaining class OF
