The annual outing of the Northern
Minnesota Editorial Association at
Duluth Cloquet, Carlton, Virginia,
Eveleth, Bull, Chisholm and Hibbing
Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sun
day, was one of the most remarkable
ever enjoyed by the country editors
| of Minnesota. .-.-
The Commercial Club at Duluth
treated the visitors royalty, but the
two big hotels, notably the Spalding
and the Holland, charged all the
tariff would stand for very punk SER
vice. The Herald understands that
the other hotels in the city were more
reasonable in their demands. -,
Friday the business men of CIo--
quet, headed by Editor Senator Fred
Vlbert, met the party at Duluth with
automobiles and transported them
over the area devasted by forest fire
in 1918. Sloquet, with only here and
building left following the confagra-
ton, is today modern city of 1000
people with every trace of the fire re-
moved.

markable condition met up with in
the entire trip was the spirit shown
by the residents of Thompson town.

| ship, practically all of whom lost
their farm buildings in the fire. The
residents are without exception Fin
nish nationality, yet they have issued
bonds in the sum of $4,000 and
erected two large consolidated school
and community centres. The build
lngs are modern and theschild in this
sparsely settled country enjoys the
same advantages in an educational
way as the children in the centers of
population.
Jay Cooke park near Carlton is a
most attractive place. Here the Great
Northern Power company have di-
verted the channel of TIE St. Louis
river with monster dam, and the
old river bed produces unique and
interesting sight.
| A special train carried the 800
visitors to- the Iron Range country
Saturday morning, stopping at Vir-
ginia. The Herald EDITORS trip was
made much more enjoyable from this
time on as we were met by Grove
Wills, formerly connected with the
Herald. Mr.. Wills is now editor OF
the livest weekly newspaper on the
Iron Range and is delivering the
goods in splendid shape.
Of course there are no cities IN the
world, large or small, with the very
splendid public school buildings To-
Gated in any of the Iroa Range towns.
The party was shown through the
Central high school building at Viz
ginia which possesses, among othef
things, a swimming pool, a modern
machine shop, an up-to-date pruning
office, including linotype macnlne'
and an auditorium seating ll4S peo-
pie with stage large enough to pro
duce any show coming to the lw,n
Cities. This building is absolutely
fire-proof, and the only ma1erlal
which could possibly burn is inc
hand rails on the stairways.
After a drive about the mines the
party was taken to EVeietn anu "
