was furnished by the Brainerd band
on the trip and for the two days.
At o'clock, in spite of the shower
that took place, the bunch was all back
at Crosby taking the ball game be-
tween the Crosby and Brainerd ball
teams for the championship Of the
north country. The game was won by
Crosby, score to 2, with old man Pat
terson throwing for Crosby The boys
took turns roofing for first one team
and then the other but the ladies all
seemed to do their yelling for Crosby,
probably on accouat of the. excellent
manner in which thu Crosby Mothers
club entertained them.
A feature of the program was the
appearance and address of United
States Senator Knute Nelson, who had
arrived in the morning and had spent
the day with the editors, going over
the mining sections and getting gen
eral idea of the great and growing
Guyana range.
Mr.. Nelson in his remarks, in addi-
tion to reviewing the legislation enact
ed by the last session of congress, paid
high tribute to the people of the Guy
una range, who, by their energy and
consistent effort, had built SO well in
this section of Minnesota. He was
received with great cheers by the edi-
tors and when he was introduced by
E. P. Scallon of the Commercial club
the editors and guests STOOD on their
feet and gave him lusty cheer.
While they were standing the band
played the "Star Spangled Banner"
]. A. o. Preus, also was present and
he paid tribute to the editors of the
state for the part they had taken in
its development, through all its stages.
Mr.. Preus had come up during the day
also and had spent the afternoon and
evening with the visitors.
A letter was sent to Secretary Rut-
ledge by L. G. Hodgson, mayor of st.
Paul, who had been invited to attend.
Mr.. Hodgson expressed his regret at
being unable to attend the meeting,
but stated that he would depend on his
friend, Jim Landy of Olivia, to speak
for him. Mr.. Landy accepted the re-
sponsibility and paid a splendid tribute
to Mr.. Hodgson.
A sport program was given Sunday
morning, the prizes being given by the
paper and supply mems association of
Minneapolis and st. Paul. Asa M.
Wallace of the Sank Center Herald CO.
operated with the supply mems asso-
citation in these wards.
The editors were well pleased with
the reception and good time accorded
them by the Crosby Commercial club
the various programs in their behalf
and they expressed themselves in this
manner to the people before leaving.
A number of the editors and their
friends left early Sunday for their
homes. Others left by motor curing
