Afternoon and Have a Good Time Incidents of the Visit Here Yesterday Yes-terday I I Yesterday was the day the Montana Press association came and captured the city and all that in it is It was a happy day for all parties the visitors and the visited To use some language from vocabulary of the lamented William Nye We are so glad they have came The members of the Montana Press association are a gladhanded lot of people They are affable In the extreme pleasant to mingle with fair to look I upon and altogether lovely The members mem-bers in general and particular nre gifted in all that goes to make up good I fellowship they can doeverything anyone any-one else ian from bathing in the lake Ito I-to delivering an oration and it is no wonder at all that the press of the great J state from n hich they come is proud of its newspapers J Be it known that all the members of c j a Ti < L 4 Li I II S II III I i OJ I 1Ji 2 n II dt PRESIDENT KEITH OF MONTANA ADDRESSES THE NEWSPAPERMEN NEWSPAPER-MEN the party were not men On the contrary con-trary there were seeral women with i them The editors brought their wives sisters daughters and sweethearts although al-though secrecy is enioined in the latter capp they didnt want to have it given away for fear the folks at home might hear of it Thtre were some speeches made at the beach yesterday Among those who spoke was the silvertongued Quinn of the Butte Miner He said In the many good things he told the boys that he was glad to be closer to the people of Utah and speaking for the unmarried contingent of Montanas men declared he was willing to take a Utah girl to be i his wife or words to that effect Now i while Utah is willing while there are I j plenty of bonny girls In this great state who would make a fit companion for I life for the handsome and talented Quinn it does seem that with the famples his crowd brought down here he neednt go far from home to do right I well in the matrimonial line THE DAY BEGINS I The days programme began when a delegation of the Salt Lake Press club which was the host of the day made a trip to Ogden to greet the visitors This delegation consisted of President James B Bloor J B Walker of the Tribune George Dyer secretary Carl Hard of the Tribune Manager McDaniel of The Herald and several others 71 i They found the party well and happy I and In good condition owlnsr to the I I happy forethought of the president of the Montana association who had appointed ap-pointed General J D MatTieson of the Billings Times official chaperon with plenipotentiary powers the moment the train crossed the Tah line IN oX TIME The run to this city was made in the usual time and as soon as the party landed they were taken to the depot of the GarfMd line and conveyed to that resort through the courtesy of the Oregon Short Line Itshould be stated r here that some of the party did not make close connections and missed the train but a special was run for their I fi benefit and tfaej got to the beach in I S time to get their feet on the sand I < with the balance I Although the bathing season cannot I be said to be fairly opened there wasnt a visitor who declined to get into a i bathing costume and soon the water was black with editorial forms floating float-Ing around on the broad expanse of the r bosom of this sea of natural pickle Of of them bit slow in course some were a i catching on to the methods of floating I but they did well in learning and ere1 I the day was spent nearly every man if I < itiirit i and woman aye and the children too could float with the best of them ALL TOOK A BATH Jones of the Billings Gazette demonstrated demon-strated that he was a veritable old salt while McMurray of the Anaconda Recorder Re-corder felt as light as a cork in less than five minutes after he struck the water In this connection it may be stated that several of the Salt Lake crowd are entitled to great credit and consideration for the assistance rendered ren-dered the visitors Judge Colborn for Instance taught five ladies how to float at once a feat attempted by Editor Willis who failed Ignominiously he being be-ing able only to take care of three George Dyer was an especial favorite with the ladies in the matter of floating float-ing while Colonel A N mKay of the Tribune did yeoman service in the same line his Usht remarks buoying manv a fair maiden UP as she trusted her back hair with him and told him to be careful her head didnt go under It is understood these people will be tendered ten-dered a vote of thanks by the fair sex ere the party leaves the city A J Fiske of the Helena Herald is a man whose appearance would lead one to suppose he weighed quite heavy But he doesnt if the manner in which I he floated on the waves is an indication I of avordupois He bobbed around on the surface of the white caps like a fishermans painted Indicator of a bite This doesnt mean that Fiske was painted not by any means E Butler of the Stock Growers Journal published pub-lished at Miles City too demonstrated he was adamed to this kind of work Accompanied by Mrs Butler he navigated navi-gated the beach from the shore line to the danger buoy and had a good time General Matheson wife and daughter were easy students of floatology and were perfectly at home five minutes after af-ter they entered the water Mrs Jack I son and Earl had a splndld time Quinn swam to his hearts content Cooney of the Anaconda Standard I made the welkin ring with his shouts I of triumph when he discovered a man could sit down in the water and not sink MacAffie the state printer exulted ex-ulted when he learned by practical dem onstration that the human form only weighs four ounces in the Great Salt Lake Cornish ot the Boulder Age wished he lived in Zion so he could bathe oftener that is oftener in the lake To mention all who paddled around In the briny deep would be tiresome tire-some so this part of the narrative will be cut short THE OUTSIDERS The few who did not go in bathing were sorry they remained outside In I this connection it may be said that the majority of the unwashed were from Salt Lake City Hard and Daijeler of the Tribune stood on the pavilion and I shouted encouragement until the former got tired of the monotony and I made a Grace Darling of himself by hiring a boat and coming out to rescue I a few imaginary exhausted swimmers All things come to an end at last and this bath was no exception to the rule I I although some stayed In longer than I I others The temptation to play In the warm sand was the reason several had I to go back and take another but I I finally they all got out and then the banquet was held I THE BANQUET In rendering honor to whom honor Is due Captain Milt Barrett and his able corps of assistants are not to be forgotten I for-gotten In this connection Right here it should be said he had not the notice which custom allows In such cases and was unprepared for the event but still he was equal to the emergency and the spread was substantial pretty and all that could be desired There was cool salads cold meats of all kinds ice cream strawberries coffee and the accessories ac-cessories Now It Is but truth to say that Monttna editors have appetites i Iic ii8 I Just the same as anybody else The manner In which that meal was disposed dis-posed of would have appalled the or i dinary boarding house mistress who feeds people for the sole purpose of making money But Barrett didntcare I He just duplicated every dish when the first was empty and when It was allover all-over there wasnt a hungry look on a face present Incidentally I it may be said the home contingent wasnt backward 1 back-ward in assisting I in the demolition I GOVERNOR WELLS GREETING I It was regretted that Governor Wells was unable to be present but his excellency ex-cellency sent a message of welcome which was read by Judge Colborn as follows I To My Friends From Montana It would have afforded me pleasure to I be with you today but I am prevented from doIng so Nevertheless I am pleased to welcome you to Utah Montana and Utah are bound together I by common tiesnot only railroad ties I but by

scream of the American eagle in the Rocky mountains EDITOR QUINN REPLIES The address was responded by J M Quinn editor of the Butte Miner Mr Quinn in a few well chosen words thanked the governor and the people of Utah for whom his excellency spoke for the warm and wholesouled welcome wel-come extended to the Montana Press association He spoke of the many ties which bound Utah and Montana together to-gether ties which were strong and so interwoven that the progress of one l I Nji Nf I Mr Quinn of Butte Replies to the Address of Welcome I tana Press association in replying to Judge Colborns remarks said that Montana was proud of Utah and her achievements and the visitors were proud to meet their literary brethren of this state These social amenities all help in the upbuilding of the material wealth of the great west Every editor In Montana is an Archedamas wlillnir to move the world if he only had a place on which to stand and in time he hoped Montana would make a splendid progress equal to or surpassing that of Utah The press of Utah had been and still is a great factor in the advancement advance-ment of Utah Next year the Montana Journalists intended joining with those of the state of Washington and making a trip to the Sound country and the speaker extended ji cordial invitation Ito I-to the Utah newspaper men to join In and make a merry party I HOWARD KYLE THE FEATURE Then followed what proved to be the I I I t C t ff = 4 GENERAL MATHESEN TRIES THE WATER was essential to the advancement of the other Your victories are our triumphs tri-umphs said the speaker Reference was made to the coming pioneer jubilee jubi-lee which the speaker characterized as being an event of importance not only to Utah but to the entire United States I and in a lesscr degree to the whole I world The works of the pioneers I speak for themselves for they had i I transformed these regions from a barren I I bar-ren waste to a veritable garden of Eden of which the entire west had reason I rea-son to be proud Mr Quinn then mentioned men-tioned the incident of Utah sending to I the people of Montana carloads of lilacs as a goodwill offering a delicate and I appreciative compliment and although i the perfume of the flowers had passed I away the memory of the act would I never fade from the minds of the people peo-ple of Montana Montana and Utah said the speaker in conclusion are really one people State boundaries are merely imaginary lines and the two commonwealths will march shoulder to shoulder to the splendid destiny which j awaits them Great applause I JUDGE COLBOKN Judge Colborn on behalf of the Salt I Lake City Press club elcomed the newspaper men of Montana to our shores He said that if the visiting editors were to be taken as a sample of the intelligence and brilliancy of the people of Montana those people were i no ordinary people but were cultivated and erll ladies and gentlemen l The I Press club and the citizens of Utah considered ita privilege and an honor to entertain the gentlemen and ladles of the press of our sister common I wealth He hoped they would have a pleasant and a profitable visit and feel j that they were thoroughly welcome The judge then spoke of the coming jubilee Ju-bilee celebration and Invited the editors edi-tors to return In a body and spend a week with us at thatUme PRESIDENT HEATH A B

Kyle was received with applause and I in his remarks he was peculiarly happy He was an actor he said but above all else he was an American citizen The home of an actor and the home of a newspaper man were re hOm g da wherever human thought and human impulse existed The press might be compared to the Xrays and was the greatest power on earth Newspaper dom is an American Institution Amen s I f J J4

imagination and recognize I j I the divine fire which Is called inspiration I I i I tlon The men of the west get their inspiration direct from God without I I I the intervention of modern civilization I Mr Kyle l in conclusion paid a glowing f I tribute to the ladles and recited a I short selection from John Boyle I ORiley which was so much appreciated appre-ciated that an encore was demanded and Mr Kyle responded with a selection selec-tion from Dr Wendell Holmes I HON NAT WARD FITZGERALD Hon Nat Ward Fitzgerald repce j I renting the Utah Press association j bade the visitors welcome and thanked them for giving their brethren In i Utah a chance to spend and enjoy a good day in their company He then shortly alluded to the silver question i and prophesied that the day was not I far distant when the men of the west I would say to the gold men across the 1fl I Atlantic that America would have si money Standard of her own which would suit the needs and conditions of the American people without reference to the desires of any other nation 1 This was a fi ° ht in which newspapermen newspaper-men must be the leaders and the newspaper men of the west would do i their duty A few short and witty remarks from A J FIsk who was introduced as the humorist of the Montana party i brought the speeches to a close and then a general rush was made to the pavilion where the excellent cool beer of Jacob Moritz was on tap running free as water And now comes the sad feature of the day Who is to blame no one knows and seeing It Is all over no one cares for as alls well that ends well there is no particular kick although the transportation transporta-tion committee perspired freely for P time at the turn matters were taking It appears that arrangements were supposed to h made for the arty to come In on regular 310 train while the transporta t oniTlttee presumed tho train the party come out on would be run back to tnH city as a second section Consequently Conse-quently there was a delay while a head of time order was procured First the operator asked the superintendents office for the order Dispatcher referred her to Burley Captain Barrett muttered something some-thing soft and pleasing under his breath and went to the telephone Some cowpuncher cOW-puncher at Grantsvllle was telling a T r nl at Stockton that Mary Janes husband hus-band was going to Mercur and that Rydalchs roan cow had twin calves and something of that sort and as he had paid two bits for five minutes talk he field the line until an indignant central cut hlrh off Barrett got Dart Silencer and asked about the order Spencer wired back that he would talk with Calvin He talked with Calvin In the meantimeH ruralist at the Terminus got the line and shouted at Cunnlngtons store In this city about two pairs of top boots and a leather coat until the management of the beach entreated j en-treated him to cet off the earth and give a suffering public a chance i Then Sporvcen wired all rIght and In 15 j j minutes more the order came In the meantime the management pl the city railway had cars at the Garfield depot and all arrangements to take the party ll l bt Sj r I to the post were made but when the train came In no one was there and the motormen took another trip j THE SKY CLEARED The engineer of the excursion made his fireman work coming in Those little cars bobbed around on the track like dancing turkey on It hot plate all the way up It was less than SO minutes from the time the train left the bench until It arrived In the city find then a capture of all the street cars in f = cht was made nnd the party brought up town where it seemed hours ere the next car to the post came along i i The party was loaded at last and a start made Be It remembered that arrangements ar-rangements had been made for a free concert by the Tvent fourth Infantry band and those In charge were attempt Ing military time but they didnt make It CONCERT AT THE POST And the thanks of those who had the visitors In charge are due and they are hereby tendered In nil their several formations to COlonel Kent and the other officers Interested In holding the band until the party arrived It was a favor which will never be forgotten and If at any time Colonel Kent should need a lieutenantcolonel a major or two or even a few captains he can have same by applying to the Salt I > ake Press club which will draft every man In It to supply the demand The visitors were delighted with the music It was a fine lot of selections that Leader Schaffner presented and never did the band appear to better advantage ad-vantage Some day when opportunity presents Itself for rewarding that band they will be glad they assisted In making the stay of the Montana people pleasant as they did The programme was announced as complimentary to the Montana Press association and was as follows March Under the Double Eagle lt cc f IJ ji C 1 fJ tIll 11 J i Lii I 1 f i 3j General Curtis Beams on the Crowd Wagner

the hot sun guessing hen the I arty could get away Down thE grade peace the car glided smoothly and till was I AT THE TABERNACLE The visitors were taken to the labor Inacle last evening where they listened to an orcran recital by Prof Daynes It is but simple justice to the organist to say that on this occasIon he fairly surpassed limsef The great organ never sounded better either and under the touch of the masters hand responded grandly NOW he deep tones rolled and vibrated and now the notes fell like drops of falling water The visitors were charmed with the magnificent effect The choir of a thousand voices had assembled as-sembled for practice and rehearsal The I members were at their best and the effect was very pleasing to the listeners When they had sung the Jubilee songs they rendered the anthem Oh my Father I thou that dwellest in the high and holy place This was commented upon very favorably by the visitors The hallelujah chorus was also rendered I VISITORS DELIGHTED It Is scarcely necessary to say of the I visitors that all are delighted with this city Its broad streets and magnificent ros of shade trees on either hand were objects of wonder and admraton es peclallv to thos of the party who came from Butte where to use their expression expres-sion they are proud of Il few bHdes of grass which they can call a lawn The objects of interest ei In the city delighted tber all They were on the qul vive all the time The members of the Press club who were with them were busy all the time in pointing out objects of note and In Btvlnp information Tap different varieties of trees were a source of wonderment and many were the expressions fc delight at the Lombardy poplars which were regarded as being the most beautiful of all although there were several specimens of welldeveloped boxelders which command especial attention ODAKS IN PLENTY Kodaks were plentiful Every other member had one and some two Snap svots were the order of the day The massive limbs of McKay of the Tribune will be preserved In miniature by many of the party while the dips spurs and angles of the lithe willowy body of Editor Ed-itor Willis will grace several albums In the happy homes of the far north They took snap shots at the lake at the pavilion pa-vilion at the bath houses at the children on the sand at the engine and cars at Barretts whiskers at everthing In sight They photographed each other In pairs groups and singly Today the objects of Interest In the city will suffer THANKS GENTLEMEN I Notwithstanding all the annoyance of I delay Incident to the missing of

connection it Is well to tender an apology for the presence ot a few undesirable people who managed to creep Into the party who were neither members mem-bers or the Press club ot this city nor of I I the Utah Press association These are found everywhere and have a faculty of coming In at a time when they know they will be tolerated sooner than a scene should ensue In tiring them bodily For tunatelr for those in charge the mal ma-l jorlty of the visitors understood the situation situa-tion and this explanation would rot be made but for the fact that some Id not I 1 comprehend the

parting that of knowing i that In all probability never again on this side of the river of death will the same band meet again as they did yesterday I But the mingling and the greetings have planted memories In some hearts which will never be forgotten In the years which I are to come before all of us will be summoned sum-moned to the rest which comes when the sun of life has cone down behind the purple hills when the last faint rays light up the peaks hirh stand in outline behind the traveler who enters Into the peace beyond tho portal of glor And now Farewell a word that must be and hath been A sound which makes us linger yet Farewell i |
