Many expressed the opinion that nowhero in tho world is the scenery any prettier than that out from here. So en thusiastic were the printers thnt the opinion was freely expressed that the visit to tho Cottage Grove country must bo made an annual affair. This was the second visit of tho printers. Tho enjoyment of the occasion was added to by tho quality of the food, the main items of which wore bean-hole beans and barbecued beef prepared by the local committee. A feature of tho session was a talk by John Gill, of tho J. K. Gill company, Portland, given at tho Saturday I night campfire.
