Running newspaper in the early
days was fraught with many difficult
ties and the editor in many instances
was devil, pressman, compositor,
make-up-man, Office boy and business
manager all in one; in fact ne was
a many sided individual and his per-
sonality touched the lives of all
classes of people SO that his influence
and that of the newspaper over which
he presided was one Of the potent
factors in the growth and develop
ment of North Dakota" said MrA
Stewart.
Thirty years ago there were be-
tween fifty and sixty newspapers
published in the state; seven of these
were dailies, including the Bismarck
Tribune, the Argus and Forum at
Fargo, the Herald and Plaindealer at
Grand Forks, the Alert and Capital
at Jamestown. There were very few
cities of any size and the population
was about 265,0OO. Today we boast
Of 100000 people with many cities,
metropolitan and up-to-date. The
newspapers have grown in number,
size and influence during the pas"
thirty years until today they are
among the best edited and most pros"
porous in the Nation.
They Aided State.
"You have gained a niche in the
hall of fame. In spite of handicaps
and difficulties encountered in new
country, you were among the opti-
mists who in large measure were
responsible for guiding the destinies
of the ship Of state during these
early years of her statehood. In
every line of type that you set there
has been spirit of faith which has
helped to remove, the mountains Of
adversity and discouragement. This
spirit dominating every effort for the
upbuilding Of the state has been the
means of bringing North Dakota to
the fore front and today we are reap
ing the reward of your heroic efforts.
GAIL honor to our pioneer newspa-
per men, may they be spared for
many years to come and may their
influence be felt through all time"
Seven editors and publishers were
honored. They are: Walter Tay-
lor, Lamoure; P. o. Thorson, Grand
Forks; G. G. Thompson, Pembina,
M. H. Crary, Devils Lake; Nett.
johnson, Bottineau; Sam Malmin,
Sharon and C. E. Boyden, Fargo, for
merly publisher of the Lisbon Free
Press.

Carol, address Of Welcome by Mayor
H, W. Geary of Fargo, response by

Salem and report of the secretaryI
M. l.. Forkner, of Langdon.
President Sullivan devoted much Of
his address to "shop talk" to the
editors and publishers.
Among other things he advised his
brother editors:

WOODS LOOSENS
SLEEP PUNCH TO
POLO IN SIXTH
Especial to the Kennebec JournaD

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Aug. 25-Wee Willie
Woods of Boston. f1yweight champi-
on of Scotland, knocked out Eddiee
Polo of Waterville in the sixth
round of their bout at the Central
Maine Fair grounds tonight before
a crowd of over 1000 fight fans.
Three right jabs to the jaw did the
work, the Waterville boy taking all
three without comeback. The
fight was even up to the fourth but
in the fifth Woods started and sent
Polo to the canvass with a count of
nine as the round ended.
Woods started right off in the
sixth and sent Polo down again for
the count of six. Polo was at his
mercy from then on and Woods
gave him terrific beating before
the final blow which almost lifted
him off his feet. The fight started
with both boys countering but land
ing few blows. In the second, Polo
had Woods running loose but could
not put on the finishing touches.
The fans expected that the battle
would go the limit but as soon as
Polo began to get groggy everyone
saw that it was only matter of
time before the Scotch lad would
land the sleep punch.
1t was without doubt the best
battle ever seen in a WaterVille
ring and credit is due to matchmak-
er LeClair for arranging such bout.
Fans came from as far west as Bos-
ton and from all over the state.
The semi-finals brought together
Johnny Mcintyre of Portland and
Joe McFadden of Waterville, the
bout ending in a draw. Both men
started the first round furiously.
Mcintyre was much faster on his
feet and led the first two rounds by
a large margin, punching McFadden
at will but the latter took the pun
ishment and came back for more.
McFadden showed his gameness by
staging a comeback in the third and
had Mcintyre groggy as the bell end
ed the round. McFadden kept his

DOC DURC|N HOLDS HOUSER men
HELPLESS WHILE ATHLETICS HAVE
FUN At EXPENSE DON BRENNAN

Twirling in mastery form, Doc
Durgin stood the Millionaires on their
heads yesterday afternoon while the
Athletics from the twin cities went
after Don Brennan's offerings good
and hard with a resultant score of
to l. Marking the fourth and whar
proved the deciding game of the ser
les, rather slim crowd turned our,
owing mainly to the lowering skies
which held a threat all day and
during the game drizzled enough TO
make ii an uncomfortable matinee
all around.
Now getting back to Doc. Say.
that elongated lad with the serio1s
map sure had a wealth Of stuff on
the apple. Sometimes it came up to
the platter looking like an atrophied
pea and then it appeared like bal
loon with an opening in the center
through which the mystified Houser
men hooked their willows for se..I
on the bench. It's true that occas-
ionally a bingle would go shooting
main it certainly was an agonizinS
parade.
The Doc, not content with giving
an exhibition Of how easy it is TO
fool the Millionaires, staged an ex-
ceptional day with his war club.
On his first trip to the pan he poled
out a three ply shot and the neat
two times singled sharply. In his
final trip the situation called for su-
icide which he did in a graceful
style.
Seconding the star performance Of
Doc was the hitting and fielding OF
Pat French. He laced out a triple,
double and single and was all over
the lot in center taking a blow from
Clancy's bat labelled for three cush-
ions. He and Brisk however, were
the only ones to register mlsplays,
Fats being a tumble of a single AMI
Phils the dropping of an easy FOUL
OF the prowess of the Millionaires
little can be said of favorable ma
ture. Don Brennan was certainly
far from form and he was rappe
with disconcerting frequency TO
add to the general feeling OF de-
! rression. a cluster of FIVE hobbies
were hung up. OF course the latter
rhase was eXcusable due to the slip
perry ball and whatever breaks the
game afforded. Certainly none o.
them came Augustus way. SHORTY
| Fitzpatrick, however, took occasion
| to pull couple of big league stunts

Especial to the Kennebec Journsn
Naterville, Aug. 25-If it had nor
been for the 2:17 pace this afternoon
the opening race card of the Central
Maine fair would have been a little
tame but Valley Forbes driven by H.
L. Hayes furnished plenty of excite
ment by tearing by Colonel Crook on
the home stretch of the first heat,
coping that heat in 2.13 IA. 1t
was pretty fight all the way around
the winner climbing all the way.
The other three heats of the race
were also all right. Colonel Crook
stepped in and took the second IN
the slow time of 2:1S ID but HAYES
horse came back in the last two,
stepping them in 2:14 ga and 2:13
and IA, respectively.
The three year old trot and pace
went easily to Don Setter driven by
Lester Dore but Pearl @ driven by
Irving Pottle and Trampsoft driven
by F. A. Bragdon divided secoi.d
money, each winning a second and
third.
Elizabeth Watts came through in
fine style that it was not very much
of a race, Byron's mare taking
three straight. Silk Worm gave the
Watts mare some opposition but was
not able to head her. The three 9TH
