The annual session Of the Oregon State Tress Association just closed at Nye Creek Beach was a business meeting from start to finish. Not that any enjoyable social feature were omitted, but for tho reason that the publishers in attendance were actuated by an earnestness of purpose 'to do all in their power to place tlie affairs of the association on a bettor business basis and to effect a more thorough organization for mutual protection and benefit. The attend ance was larger than for many years past, fully fifty newspapers being represented by their editors or pub lishers. Tho time-worn custom of devoting tho time to listening to lengthy speeding and papers was abandoned and the sessions were given over to bright and interesting discussions of interest and importance to the craft. By avoiding all unnecessary for mality, each member was given an opportunity to express his views upon subjects of importance, and tho argu nienta and exchange of Ideas thus brought out gave to tho Association all that was best in the opinion's and , experiences of each publishor present. Tho meetings were held in Irviu's log-cabin club house at Nye Creek, kindly placed at the disposal of the Association by S. O. Trvin, the popular and obliging landlord of tho Irvin House. This quaint old building, with its massive log walls, beam .ceil ing, cozy chairs and broad fireplace, furnished the most pleasant quarters in which the Association has ever held an annual session. The daily sessions began at 9 o'clock each morning and continued until 10 o'clock at night, with only short iuter missions at tho luncheon and dinner hours. The greater portion of tho time of the convention was devoted to discussion of uniform advertising rates. The result of this discussion was tho adoption of resolutions and a contract proposed by Mr. C. C. Chap man, the well-known advertising agent of Portland, whereby uniform rates will bo guaranteed to all foreign advertisers. An effort will be made to organize county press associations for the purpose of bringingthe publishers of each couuty Into an agreement on tho rates to be charged foreign ad vertisers in such county. It is be lieved that when tho publishers once effect organization by counties, it will be an easy matter to reach a uniform rate law in the state. Sunday was spent in rest and recre ation. A drive to tho Foulweathcr lighthouse- was enjoyed by a large party of visiting editors and their wives, while others spent tho day among tho many natural attractions at Nyo Creek beach. In tho evening a delightful social session was held in tho parlors of tho Irvin House. At this session, George II. Ilimes, his torian of the Association, read an excellent paper on the early history of tho newspaper business iu Oregon, taking for- his subject "Oregon's First Agricultural Paper." An unexpected and highly appreciated treat of the evening was tho splendid musical program given by the Misses Fitz patrick, of tho Monterey Hotel, and Miss Fay Dellingcr, of Astoria. The beautiful rendition of classic and popular vocal and piano selections by tlieso talented young ladies will long bo pleasantly remembered by the visiting editors. Monday morning was devoted to business, anu me anernoon was pleasantly passed at the Life Saving Station, where an exhibitbn drill was given by Captain Wcllander and his crew. An evening session brought to a close the business of the convention. Those who visit Nye Creek beach only in tho summer months can have no Idea of tho beauty and attractive ness of tho resort at this season of the year. The balmy weather, the calm sen, and tho haze of Indian summer that hangs like a blue veil over the hills, lend a charm to the scene that is simply indescribable. Tho newspaper men were the re cipients of every courtesy at the hands of the transportation companies and the good people of Nye Creek. Arriv ing In Albany and Corvallis over the southern racilic road, they were joined by Mr. Neil V. Murray confi dential clerk to Manager Mayo of the Corvallis & Eastern, and nothing was overlooked thut would add to their pleasure or comfort. The' visitors are grateful to the proprietors of the Irvin House and Nyebrook Hotel and to Editors John and William Matthews, C. F. Soule and A. IS. Clark fot' many kindnesses.
