The Chautauqun committee reporl ed progress In Its work and a feeliitR of confidence as to the success of the nndertakiiiK. Mr. Conner who hm charge of the ticket sales was not present. The chairman of the Chau taii'i n. i Association asked for a dis cussion upon the proposition of changing the grounds where it la in- . tended to place the tent for the Mg show; this was prompted because of j the nolae from autos if the present site la kept and that it will seriously j interfere with the enjoyment of the program. Several other places wore suggested and the matter of eliminat ing the nolae discussed. It was final ly left to the Chautauqua committee to decide. Simon Lewis, D. Potter and Waldo Gecr were appointed a committee to confer with the committee of tho Harney County Pioneer Association In connection with the reunion of the pioneers to be held In Burns on July 3.
