Gable , traveling agent for the C. & N. W. , was in town yester- day and we consulted him in re gard to the proposed excursion of the E. V. E. A. , to Hot Springs. We had hoped to get transporta- tion for all the editors and their wives on an advertising basis , but he has turned that proposition down. Says he can't do a thing excepting on a cash basis. Now , we never did believe that any law was constitutional that prohibited a newspaper from taking wood , watermelons or hay on subscrip- tion , or from swapping advertising for the bread of life , railroad transportation or for any com- modity. We are up against a proposition qf paying the price in cash or visit elsewhere. The price to Hot Springs and return from Long Pine is $9.10 and $2.00 each way for standard sleeper or $1.00 each way for tourist sleeper , which makes a swim at Hot Springs cost $12 to $15 apiece. A bath at your borne barber shop is cheaper , or better yet if you have a bath room at home. We'd all go on the old plan and try to enjoy the trip , but when it comes to digging up the cash we'll have to squeeze in pro- portion to the way the railroad company cut down their advertis- ing from $106 in 1908 to $19.80 in 1908 which cuts out some of the extrasT : - We can all visit at" Long Pine and have a good time togeth- er , as well as go on a long trip that wears one out instead of giv- ing. him a rest.

We're looking for Bros. ; Mayes , Cooper , Johansen and Snow from up the road and hope the other new edi- tors will join us at this association.
