EDITORIAL OUTING
VOTED BEST EVER
NORTHERN MINNESOTA SCRIBES
SPEND THREE DELIGHTFUL
DAYS IN ST. LOUIS co.
DULUTH BANQUETS VISITORS
ASSOCIATION MEMBERS ARE
ROYALTY ENTERTAINED AT
VIRGINIA AND HIBBING

Duluth and the cities of Virginia
and Hibbing have wonderfully hos
pitable people. This was demonstrate
ed very clearly to the newspaper men
and ladies enjoying the annual out
ing given by the Northern Minnesota
Editorial Association last Friday, Sat-
urday and Sunday.
The policy of the Northern Mime
sofa Editorial Association is to "know'
Minnesota first" They have had sew
eral successful outings in former.
years, but the one just enjoyed is gen.
orally conceded to have been in many
ways the best ever taken, inasmuch
as it gave the most of the newspaper
men an opportunity to visit sections
of the state hitherto unknown to them.
The Northern association through it's
officers, had extended an invitation to.
all active newspaper men in the state.
to take part in the outing with the
result that practically every section
of the state was represented by one
or more scribe.
The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association holds two meetings a
year, one in the winter, strictly for
business, and one in midsummer
which is a continual joy ride. The next
business meeting will be held in Sank
Centre, and from the information at
hand at this early date the Herald is
convinced that a large delegation of
publicity boosters from all over the
Northern section Of the state will be
present.
The President of the association
designated we'll known Duluth news
paper man to write the Official
story of the outing, and this will ap-
pear in several hundred papers in the
| state this week. The complete story
follows herewith:
st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 9.-Surfeited
with entertainment the members Of
the Northern Minnesota Editorial AS
sociation finished their midsummer
outing this morning, when they
reached st. Paul and dispersed. Three
of the most delightful days in the his
tory of the association have BEEN
spent in the northeastern part of the
state and those taking part in the
outing have come back not only
pleased over the entertainment but
with new view as to ST. Louis coun4
ty. A large number of those who
took in the outing have never before
been as far as Duluth, and still more
were never as far north as the iron
country. That they received the sur,
prise of their lives, even though they
had been primed to expect much, is
patent.
Duluth was a revelation to scores,
but it remained for the iron ranges to
spring the real novelties. There the
iron mines were, of course; some
thing out of the ordinary for the av-
erage visitor, but the magnificence Of
the cities seen was even more sur.
prising.
Perfect Weather for Outing.
Friday morning. when the editors
rolled into the city over the Northern
Pacific road, the day broke fair and
beautiful, perfect weather coming out
of bank of gloom and depression.
Both days In Duluth were about all
that could be desired as to weather,
and the third day of the trip, which
was spent on the ranges, was said to-
be the first real touch of summer that
they have enjoyed this year, and the
editors are thanked for it. Whether
or not old Jup. Pluv. was trying to-
get a "stand-in" with the editorial
bunch is the question, but at any rate
they owe him much for the pleasant
time they had all through.
The editors have been at total loss
to express in adequate terms their
thanks for the entertainment given
ct Duluth, Virginia and Hibbing, but
have endeavored by word of mouth to-
make their hosts realize the deep
gratitude they feel. The resolutions
committee, consisting Of e. C. Kileys
Grand Rapids, chairman; Harry Phil
lips, Mahnomen; George e. Ericsoni
Spooner, Will Wilke, Grey Eagle; j.
G. Morrison of Morris, and Harry
Wheelock Of Fergus Falls, prepared
the following resolutions, which were
adopted:
