TER HIGHWAYS

At the annual meeting of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial Asso-
citation held at Little Falls Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday of last week,
Sank Centre was designated as the
place for holding of the 1926 conven-
ton. -.--. ..--,
The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association was organized in Sank
Centre about fifteen years ago. In
the beginning the membership was
limited to the newspaper men resid-
ing on the ''K" line and for the pur-
pose OF securing better train service
on this Great Northern branch.
At the present time newspapermen
residing in the 43 northern counties
of the state are eligible to member
ship and it is by far the strongest
subsidiary organization of the Min.
nesota Editorial Association. Two,
meetings are held yearly. The sum-
mer meeting of 1925 will be held at
Detroit. This is an outing, pure and
simple and at this time the ladies'
attend. The winter meetings are
attended by the men only and
rather heavy program is carried out.
The Association has met in Sank
Centre, oftener than at any other
point. It is very hand for the MEM
bers to get in and out of and they
like to come here because of the very
cordial reception given them by Sank
Centre folks. Several other towns
were after the 1926 meeting but when
the Herald editor extended the invi-'
tation on behalf of the Sank Centre
Community Club to come to this city
in 1926, Sank Centre was selected by
unanimous vote. az Al:
i The Herald editor is particularly
pleased over the Little Falls meeting
in that Horace w. Gluten, for many
years valuable employee of the
Herald and now one of the publish
-ers of the Red LakeFalls Gazette, was
elected president of the organization, =.
and Grove Wills, publisher of the
Eveleth Clarion and ,co-worker of
Mr.. Cutten's on the Herald, was elect
ed as vice president. He will be ele-
waited to the presidency at the Sank.
Centre meeting. goo >Ga Z.
tie Carl w. Carlson, editor of the Mel:
rose Beacon has just closed very
successful year as president.
Among the important addresses at
Friday afternoons session was that
of Highway Commissioner Charles
Babcock. 1t developed that there was
not any great difference of opinion
between Governor THEODORE Christian
son and Mr.. Babcock over highway
matters, as confesences have been.
held since, Gov. Christitanson de-
livered his message to the Legisla-
ture and Mr.. Babcock's annual re-
port to the Governor has come out.
Had preliminary meeting been held
between these two gentlemen the ap-
parent differences would not have ex-
listed in the public utterances.
Following Mr.. Babcock's address
motion was unanimously passed in
which the association S. 6, resolutions
committee were directed to place the
Northern Minnesota Editorial Asso-
citation on record as being opposed to
the reduction of licenses on motor
and in favor of the proposed
&c gasoline tax for highway purposes.
Another motion also directed the res
lutions committee top lace the Asso--
citation on record as in favor of Mr..
Bobcock's County Bond refunding
plan. Little Falls was an ideal host.
Much of the success of the entertain
ment was due to the untiring efforts
of Will Wilke, Publishers La Fond
Vasaly and the Lions Club.
