had a very enjoyable and interest
ing meeting last Friday and Satur-
day. They were royalty entertain
ed by the Moscow Chamber Of Com
merce and the faculty Of the Uni

that would tend to make their stay
in the city a pleasant one.
Friday afternoon temporary or
ganization of the North Idaho Press
Association was formed. Saturday
morning Manager Mix of the Idaho
National Harvester Co. showed the
members of the press through the
manufacturing plant. From there
they were taken to the University
where they listened to an address
by Edgar Piper, editor of the Port
land Oregonian. A delightful
luncheon was served at Ridenbaugh
Hall for the faculty of the Univer-
sity and the publishers. The after
noon was taken up with business
session at which time the organiza-
tion was perfected. At $50 the
Chamber of Commerce entertained
the editors and number Of the
business men of Moscow at smok-
er, which was an occasion that will
long be a pleasant memory to those
who were fortunate enough to be
present.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the publishers at the
business session in the afternoon:
