Mrs. Jason Weatherhead. Ada"
Train Service 10 Excellent.
One thing that should not be toe.
gotten in recounting the cordial treat,
ment Of the editorial party, and which
they believe should DO harbored iii
their minds hereafter, IL the way the
Northern Paoiflo road handled the al.
fair, so far % Il was concerned with
It. This railway furnished the,
special train out Of the Twin
Cities to Duluth and return. Not con,
tent with giving ito usual good service,
the road gave to the excursionists its
most modern equipment. The train
consisted Of five slsspers, all of steel
construction, and so excellent were
the accommodations that nobody, not
even Frank Day, had chance to CONF
plain Of having to climb into an upper;
berth, for none but lowers was used.
Besides furnishing the train with an;
efficient crew, J. D. Zook, city tick
ct agent at st. Paul, and I. L. Peil,
advertising manager, came along to
see that everything was right. Most
of the officials Of the road are we'll
known personally to a majority of tho
newspaper men Of the state, but tho
committee in charge of the excursion
just ended recommends that the edi.
tors of the state who may not have
had the advantage Of knowing the off,
Gals of the road who were present
on this trip lose no time in getting
acquainted. The road took especial
pains to make the trip pleasant one,
and the many instances of good serv-
ice which have been given editors
were set a new mark In this instance.
The same was true Of the service
given on the Duluth, Missabe & North
ern road on the trip to the range
cities. The equipment of the train
was OF the latest, and the Missabe
road, where no thought Of disaster 10
ever entertained because of the ST.
perior quality of rolling stock and
roadbed, took especial pains to geo
that nothing would beset what sppt,
Kreitter, who was with the party, de-
scrtbed as the brains of the state"
G. w. Kieswetter, general agent Of
the road at Duluth, was also on the
trip, and he and Mr.. Kreitter did ev-
erything possible to make the trip 2
memorable one. y
: Special Reaches Duluth.
The special arrived from the Twin
Cities in Duluth early on the morning
of Friday, Aug. 6, and the morning
was spent Informally. Most of the
time Secretary Rutledge and Will
Wilke, of Grey Eagle, were receiving
registrations at the Spalding hotel,
and members Of the party looked for
rooms and generally got ready for
settling down. although nobody could
understand why under the sun they
wanted rooms, for few used them.
During the morning A. G. Weiss,
publisher of the Herald, Of Duluth,
one of the leading dailies of the
state, invited the visitors to see Du1
luth from its highest point aside from
the top Of the hill. That was the top
Of the famous Alworth building, which
is seventeen stories high and all tall
stories, but not of the newspaper W..
riety.
Commercial Club In Charge.
Following the routine work of reg
istering, the general committee, ap.
pointed by the Duluth Commercial
club, the livest organization, by the
way, that exists in Minnesota, took
charge of affairs, and until Sunday
morning when the special pulled out
of Duluth, the Commercial club men
had charge and command. Col. H. ":
Eva, secretary Of the club. and George
D.. Mccarthy, assistant secretary.
headed the work of entertaining, but
It seemed as though every other man
In Duluth was member Of the com,
mittee. Stillman H. Bingham, edi.
torial writer of the Duluth Herald;
| c. s. Mitchell, who occupies a similar
position on the Duluth News-Tribune,
and A. c. Weiss, of The Herald, were
ill on hand and took leading parts.
At the banquet and at other times,
Mayor w. l. Prince, City Commission
ers Bernard Silberstein, J. A. Farrell,
Fred Voss, and others were on hand
to aid.
