Perfect Weather for Outing.
Friday morning, when the editors
rolled into the city over the Northern]
Pacific road, the day broke fair and
beautiful, perfect weather coming out
of a bank of gloom and depression.]
Both days In Duluth were about all
jthat could be desired as to weather,
and the third day of the trip, which
was spent on the ranges, was said to
be the first real touch of summer that
they have enjoyed this year, and the
editors are thanked for it. Whether
or not old Jup. Pluv. was trying to
get a "stand-in" with the editorial
bunch is the question, but at any rate
£hey owe him much for the pleasant'
time they had all through. I
The editors have been at a total lossi
to express in adequate terms their!
thanks for the entertainment given
at Duluth, Virginia and Hibbing, but
have endeavored by word of mouth to'
make their hosts realize the deep,
gratitude they feel. The resolutions,

on Sunday and adopted a set of rgso*

Train 8erviee Is Excellent.
One thing that should not be far
gotten in recounting the cordial treat-,
•nent of the editorial party, and which!
(they believe should be harbored in
jtbeir minds hereafter, is the way thai
{Northern Paolflo road handled the af
fair, so far as It was concerned with
It This railway furnished the
special train out of the Twin
.Cities to Duluth and return. Not con-,
tent with giving Its usual good serviced
the road gave to the excursionists its
most modern equipment. The train
consisted of five sleepers, air of steel
(construction, and so excellent were
the accommodations that nobody, not
even Frank Day, had a chance to com-l
plain of having to climb into an upper
berth, for none but lowers was used
Besides furnishing the train with anj
efficient crew, J. D. Zook, city tick-i
et agent at St Paul, and I. L. Pell*
advertising manager, came along to
see that everything was right. Most
of the officials of the road are well
known personally to a majority of the,
newspaper men of the state, but the
committee in charge of the excursion
jjust ended recommends that the edi
tors of the state who may not have
tad the advantage of knowing the offi
cials of the road who were present
On this trip lose no time in getting
acquainted. The road took especial
Pains to make the trip a pleasant one,
and the many instances of good serv
ice which have been given editors
were set a new mark in this Instance.
The same was true of the service
given on the Duluth, Missabe & North
ern road on the trip to the range
title*. The equipment of the train
was of the latest, and the Missabe
road, where no thought of disaster Is
ever entertained because of the su
perior quality of rolling stock and
roadbed, took especial pains to fee
that nothing would beset what gupt,
Kreitter, who was with the party, de*
scribed as the "brains of the state/*:
C. W. Kieswetter, general agent of
the road at Duluth, was also on the
trip, and he and Mr. Kreitter did ev
erything possible to make the trip a
memorable one.
Special Reaches Duluth.
The special arrived from the Twin
Cities in Duluth early on the morning
of Friday, Aug. 6, and the morning
was spent informally. Most of the]
time Secretary Rutledge and Will
Wilke, of Grey Eagle, were receiving
registrations at the Spalding hotel,
and members of the party looked for
rooms and generally got ready for
settling down, although nobody could]
understand why under the sun they
wanted rooms, for few used them.
During the morning A. C. Weiss*
publisher of the Herald, of Duluth,
one of the leading dallies of the
state, invited the visitors to see Dui
luth from its highest point aside from,
the top of the hill. That was the top
pf,the famous Alworth building, which
is seventeen stories high and all tall
stories, but not of the newspaper va*
riety.
Commercial Club In Charge.
Following the routine work of reg-.
lstering, the general committee, ap.
pointed by the Duluth Commercial
club, the livest organization, by thei
way, that exists in' Minnesota, took
charge of affairs, and until Sunday
morning when the special pulled out
of Duluth, the Commercial club men,
had charge and command. Col. H.
Eva, secretary qf-the club, and George
D. McCarthy, assistant secretary,
headed the work of entertaining, but
it seemed as though every other man,
in Duluth was a member of the com?
mittee. Stillman H. Bingftam, edl*
torial writer of the Duluth Herald
C. S. Mitchell, who occupies a similar
position on the Duluth News-Tribune,
and A. C. Weiss, of The Herald, were
all on hand and took leading parts.
At the banquet and at other times,
Mayor W. I. Prince, City Commission
ers Bernard Silberstein, J. A. Farrell,
Fred Voss, and others were on hand
to aid.

the club and commandeered foFuse,
took the visitors out around the city.
The} drive that day started in at the
lakeside and of the famous boulevard,
a wonderful driveway which extends
from one end of the city to the other
along the brow of the hill. This was
taken. It gives a view of Duluth and
the harbor which gave to scores of
those pn the excursion, their flrbt real
conception of the fact that Minnesota
contains within its borders one of the
greatest ports of the world. Minnesota
point, that protecting arm that runs
out into the lake and forms the har
bor, was seen in all its beauty for the
day was clear ships were seen com
ing in and leaving the harbor, and, in
short, conditions were perfect for see
ing the great harbor at its best.
That evening the banquet tendered
by the Commercial club, wa# given.
It was the second largest ever served
in the splendid rooms of the club. It
consisted of a fine planked whitefish
dinner, and with the members of the
party were a large number of leading
Duluthians, who helped in every way
they could in entertaining their
guests.
Toastmaster at His Beet.
Bentley P. Neff, a well known bust
ness man of Duluth, and who is mak
ing a name for himself as an after
dinner speaker, was toastmaster. He
was at his best and there was not a
dull moment. In fact, one cannot con
ceive of there beiag a dull moment
where Mr. Neff rules. He gave a
speech of welcome which was hearty
and sincere.
Asa M. Wallace, president of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial Associa
tion, was the first speaker and told
of the development of the association
and of the work it has done. James
C. Morrison, president of the state
editorial association, declared that thai
whole state of Minnesota is very much
indebted to the editors of northern!
Minnesota and predicted that the fu
ture growth of the state will be mora
north of Minneapolis than south of It
C. S. Mitchell, editor of the Duluth!
News-Tribune, spoke of the pleasure}
$t gave Duluthians to have the editors
as guests and hoped that they would*
take care to observe the truly chaja&i
teristic things of Duluth, such as the
experiment farm and the city and
county work farm for delinquents^
Frank X. Gravel, of Duluth, State
Auditor J. A. O. Preus, H. C. Hotaling,'
editor of the Enterprise, of Mapletonv
Secretary of State Julius H. Schmahl,
and others spoke briefly.
"Roasts" Newspaper Profession.
One of the greatest hits of the eve^
ning was the address of Homer Ci
Fulton, an attorney of Duluth. His
address was a good-humored roast ofj
the newspaper profession, pointing out
the frailties and giving it credit for
its good. He suggested as an epitaph!
for the editors the touching lines:
"Underneath the starry sky,
Dig my grave and. let me—lie."
His address was highly humorous
throughout and was undoubtedly tb«l
hit of the evening—and of the trip.
Day Spent at Fond du Lac
:. Saturday morning the editors took,
the steamer. Columbia and went upj
the St. Louis river, where the day
was spent at Fond du Lac, one of the,
most beautiful spots In Minnesota. A
stop was made at the new steel plant,
where the wonderful model city Was
Inspected and the plant viewed from
the outside for, because of the press
of construction work to get it ready
by Nov. 1, it was considered danger
ous to admit the visitors to the in*
terlor.
Saturday evening a five-hoot trip
on the lake and bay was enjoyed, dur
ing Which dancing was the cjhje£
"You Are Just asOldasYourSpine"
|VEN back as far as Caesar's time this saying
was used. In later years, men substituted
for it—"A man's just as old as he feels."
Taking the two, and combining the meaning, we have the
true expression and CHIROPRACTIC interpretation—
"A MAN'S JUST AS OLD AS HIS SPINE
ALLOWS HIM TO FEEL."
The spinal column is the main conduit through which the
nerve cables pass from the brain, and from which the tiny
feeders are distributed to every portion of the body. Ifthrough
abnormal curvature, the bones of the spinal column hamper
or obstruct the free flow of the health-giving nerve currents
from the brain to the different bodily organs, disease results
in the organ so affected.
The Chiropractor goes right to the seat of the
trouble and adjusts the defect giving almost
immediate relief, without the use of drugs
or knife.

amusement for those who did not wish
to sit by the rail and dream.
Promptly at 8:30 Sunday morning,,
the special train for the iron ranges
pulled out of the Union Station in
Duluth.
Virginia Wins Editors' Hearts.
The reception at the station was
enough to win for Virginia a place
in the hearts of the editors. As the'
train drew in the band played, auto-,
mobile horns tooted and the crowd
of citizens on the station platform
Cheered. Mayor Michael Boylan,
who joined the party at Duluth, had
assured the editors that a royal wel
come was being arranged for them in
the city over which he rules, but even
his enthusiastic prophecies fell far
short of the mark.
The Virginia plans called for ac
tion. After the first cordial greet
ings the visitors were hustled into
automobiles, and a procession was
formed, with a khaki-clad band—and
a very good band—mounted on an
auto truck in the lead. As-the cor*
ner was turned and Chestnut street
in the resplendence of multi-colored
flags and bunting and in the cleanli-,
ness for which it is famous came into
view there were many "Oh's" and.
"Ah's" from the editorial party. The
movie men caught the procession as
it moved up the street between lines
of smilingly cordial people, and the
picture will be well worth seeing.
The automobile ride took the vis
itors over splendidly paved streets,
out over a beautiful road through Gil
bert, Elba and Eveleth and back to
Virginia by a route that gave the vis
itors a good view of the mill of the
Virginia & Rainy Lake Company.
Lunch at Bottom of Pit.
Following the automobile trip, the
crowning achievement of Virginia
hospitality was unfolded, 'pwas but
a step-from the automobiles to flat
cars, railed off for safety* and with
the party on the cars a Puffy engine
backed them down into the Alpena
pit.. At the bottom of the pit, on a
flat space, tables were laid and there
the luncheon was served." It was a
spectacular sort of a luncheon. The
novelty of the setting was immediately
Impressive. Far above the luncheon
tables towered the ribbed cliffs of blue
and black and bright red ore, with
far above a narrow fringe of over
burden. Here and there in the sides
of the pit the tiny mouths of tunnels
which are a feature of the Alpena pit
excited interest The Virginia hosts
and Duluth people among the party
talked of millions so glibly that there
was almost oppressiveness in the
sense of wealth within view. Stand
ing in but one pit of hundreds oa
the ranges, the editors who had at
tempted previously to visualize the
great wealth of Minnesota as repre
sented in its Iron mines threw their
former estimates to the wind and
gathered new impressions to take to
their homes. The luncheon itself was
Immense.
Thrilling First-aid Demonstration.
As the editors ate, the rim of the
pit was fringed with people who cam*
to see the sight created by ther unus
ual use to which the pit was devoted
on that delightful Sunday. They ap
peared like pigmies far above. There
were thrills furnished too. First-aid
was demonstrated by a crew from
the Oliver Iron Mining Company's res
cue station. First a young man, who
was a most realistic victim, was car*
ried up from-a point where a steam
Shovel was working, splints were ap*
plied to a "broken" leg, a bandage was
wound around his head, and then he
arose and walked off smiling. Later
the same "victim" was carried from
the month of a tunnel and the pnW

and good effect. After a tew minutes7
application of the life-giving air, ht
opened his eyes, arose in a sleepy
fashion and then came suddenly to
life when Frank Gravel ot Duluth
stepped briskly forward and present
ed him with a cigar, the brand of
which Frank did not keep secret
One further thrill there was, when
another accommodating young man
Climbed the face'of the pit with the
Sid of a rope. In the distance, the
cliff looked smooth as glass, but as he
mounted hand over hand, it was evi»
lent that he had more substantial foe**

him. He went away up to one of the
tny-appearing tunnel openings and
