People's Lyceum Course
Popular entertainers will open
series of People's Lyceum
Course.
Every 11 ing is in readiness for
the opet.ii g number of the local
lyceum course. The committee
has worked hard and the success
of the course seems assured
The seven men who guaranteed
the cost of the entertainment are
not only breathing easier but are
happy to think that their con
fidence in the good taste of the
people of St. Helens was in no
sense misplaced.
Lyrics Praised.
The boys are much elated over
the report they have received
from the central west where the
Boston Lyrics o(ened their ly
ceum year last month. Writing
from Cherryvale, Kansas, N. A.
Baker, committee chairman,
says, 'The Boston Lyrics have
come and gone and they have
left behind them the lost satis
fied audience that has been known
here for a long time. We can
not praise the Lyrics too highly
for their clean entertaining, ar
tistic program.
Looking for Location
We have it on good authority that
the Western Cooperage Company,
which formerly operated at Houlton
is looking for a location on the Col
umbia River. About a year ago
they ceased operations at Houlton
and moved their plant to Aberdeen,
Wash., where they have been running
since, but the Columbia River seems
to be an ideal place for a factory
and they are now looking for a lo
cation. We would suggest that the
Commercial Club of St. Helens get
busy with the officers of this com
pany and endeavor to have them put
their plant in here.
Dr. Parker to Preach
The Rev. Parker whom many
will remember as the supply
paster at Houlton subsequent to
Rev, DeBor's departure will oc
cupy the pulpit at the Methodist
Church morning and evening
next Sunday. Rev. Parker is a
We have so many of our busi
ness mon interested this year and
they were so well pleased with
the first number that they do not
want to miss any of them."
The La Junta, Col. committee
is even more enthustastic: Under
date of Oct. 31, they write:
. 'The Boston Lyrics appeared
last night as the opening num
ber of our Lyceum Course. To
say that they satisfied our people
would be to misrepresent the sit
uation by understating the facts.
They were delighted with the
entertainment. The Boston Ly
ncs have set high standard for
the talent that Is to follow. The
remarkable thing alwut their
work is that they do ho mn
things so well."

appear at the Ci'y Hall Tuesday
evening. The i rogram will l,e.
