excellent address delivered by Mr.

Of his having his returned to North
Dakota newspaper filed, was Fred T.
Lincoln. city editor Of the Grand
Forks Heard. Lincoln is a seasoned
newspaper man, turned out by the
school of experience, on both large

with satisfaction. Lincoln is versatile

desk, and that publications shows the

VIM. L. Holbein. secretary Of the
North Dakota Press association, Fri
dav gave his views Of the present
meeting, Bismarck. and the club in
general. as follows:
"The North Dakota Press associa-
ton is in a very PROSPEROUS condition
in fact. the officers of the organization
feel that the past year has been a ban.
ner year with the newspaper boys of
the state in more ways than one. For
enc thing the secretary's Office has re-
ceived many more communications
from members of the organization re-
lative to matters Of vital Importance
to the trade. More time has to be
taken each month o devote to the
affairs of the association, and this in
itself means that the boys are alive
to the Importance Of their calling.
One thing that has struck ME as a
sign that the newspaper men Of the
state are prospecting is the fact that
during the year 1913 I can only re-
member Of n or two at the most.
Of the members who have RENTED
their dues with anything else than a
bank check. And best of all, none OF
these checks came back protested.
This idea that the newspaper men Of
the state are in the charity class
seems to be dispr0"ed conclusively.
"The meeting here at Bismarck thus
far has been One of the best in the
history of the association, both from
the view of entertainment accorded
and the benefits derived from the
members of the craft who are attend
ing the sessions. Tomorrow will be
devoted to a general cleaning up of
the business affairs Of the associa.
ton for the fiscal year. The two pap
ers that will be read will be full of
absorbing interest, and l a insure that
there will be none who are now in
the city, who will go away with any.
thing but the most satisfied feeling.
Personally, l am very glad to be in
your city, as this is the first time that
I have ever visited Bismarck, although
a resident of the state for a number
of years, and I am very much pleased
with everything | see. Bismarck is
indeed a revelation to me. l always
had a pretty good idea of your city
too, but I was not prepared to see
such a beautiful city. with so many
substantial business buildings and
beautiful homes. Your hotels are per.
feet, and the cities OF the Red River
Valley will have to be looking to their
laurels in this particular line.
II hope that very soon the associa'
ton will come back to this city for
a meeting. l am enjoying every min.
ute Of my stay, and will be sorry to
leave. 7t..M.
Yes, the campaign for membership
in the association will be waged with
u%nrelenting vigor the coming year
have set 400 as the high water mark
and we should reach that number be
fore the next winter meeting"
CoIcord Address.
1t affords me the greatest pleasure
in behalf Of the N. d. P. A. to respond
to the kind words of welcome on the
part CT our governor, representing Bis.
marCk, the Gem of the Missouri ae
well as the great commonwealth Of
North Dakota.
we all feel at HON Elm Bismarck
