Friday last we robbed ourself of
da, and ran down to Wenatchee
to meet with the publishers Of the dis
trict composed of Chelan. Douglas,
Grant and Okanogan counties. The
meeting was called to take up, discuss
and act upon matters of Importance
to the publishers along business lines,
a line that publishers have a decided
weakness to neglect. The call was re-
sponded to by quite number of pub
fishers, and a bright, likeable gang OF
pencil pushers we found them to be.
Unfortunately the time at the disposal
of the visitors was all too short In
which to transact much business or
to get acquainted, but we trust that it
may be our privilege to meet with them
again at some future date when there
will be more time to get bettero ac-
uuainted. Circumstances have been
such of late years that we have not
been able to mingle with the mem
bers of the fourth estate as frequently
as we would have liked, and hence we
feel a stranger among the present day
publishers in the neighboring~ coun-
ties.
