y Friday and Saturday.
Brainerd treated the newspaper
men right royalty last Friday and
Saturday at which time the annual
meeting Of the Northern Minnesota
Editorial association was held in that
city.
Just after noon the visitors were
shown through the N. P. shops and
the new paper mill just completed, and
in the afternoon the very cosy Cham
Der of Commerce rooms were turned
over to the scribes where a very in
structive program was carried out,
the subjects discussed being: of es-
pecial interest to the fraternity. Fri.
day evening a sumptuous banquet
was served at the Ransford Hotel,
which was followed by largely at.
tended Smoker" at the Club rooms.
Brainerd has come into her own
once more and evidences of prosper
ity can be seen on every hand. Just
now they are reaching out to secure
the location of the government armor
plant, and with hopes of success. The
northern Minnesota editors are of the
unanimous opinion that with iron near
at hand Brainerd would be an ideal
location for this plant.
The resident newspaper men, Bros.
Halstead of the Tribune, and Inger-
soil and Hafbrauer of the Dispatch,
and the flock of Sheets of the Journal
Press left nothing undone to make
the stay most enjoyable.
The following resolutions adopted
express very fully the feelings of
those participating in the meeting:
The members of the Northern Min
nesota Editorial association realizing
that this, our ninth annual business
session, has been one of the most sue
cessful and interesting in the history
of our association, desire to express
our great appreciation to the citizens
of Brainerd, the newspaper fraterni-
ty and the Chamber of Commerce, for
the splendid hospitality that has been
shown us during our short sojourn in
the city; for the interesting enter
tainment, banquet and smoker pro-
vided and for the uniform courtesy
that has been extended to us on every
hand.
With an association such as the
BfaiEerd Chamber of Commerce there
can be no doubt as to the future of
the city. That the effort that is now
being made by the organization to
secure the location of the government
armor plant will be successful is our
earnest desire.
We appreciate the invitation given
us to attend Brainerd's first outdoor
carnival on February 10th. From
the enthusiasm shown by the March
ing club there can be no doubt of the
success of the event.
We are keenly appreciative of the
effort of~olr retiring president, P. J.
Vasaly, who during the past year has
devoted his time and energy to the
upbuilding and maintenance of the
association and who has been so
largely responsible for the success of
this meeting and the summer outing
at Cass Lake.
All the good things that have beer
said in our resolutions during the
past nine years about our secretary,
A. G. Rutledge, are hereby punched
and reaffirmed. May all his hopes
and aspirations be realized.
The Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany which has so often contributed
to our successes by special trains, ex-
cel:ent service and personal attention
has continued to shower us with those
same courtesies during this meeting
and have our continuing gratitude.
We endorse the efforts of the COM
mittee of the Minnesota State Editor
iaf Assn. to secure relief from the
present prohibitive price of print pa
per and believe the movement whose
aim is to conserve the available
water power and pulp wood land a
worthy one, and is entitled to the
support of every resident of Mime
sofa.
We commend the officials of !, the
of the. State Bureau of
for their earnest advo-
cacy of constitutional amendment No.
1, during the campaign of 1916. We
further urge the legislature to take
full cognizance of the services rend-
cred to the State of Minnesota by the
Bureau in bringing new
