"Jamie" Heron'a burred Scotch tongue last night gave a large Chau tauqua audience an Inspiration and a good time. From his first appear ance on the stage, full of pep and enthusiasm, the audience was kept laughing or drinking In some seri ous thought offered to uplift the social and business plane to a higher but common level. Hla lecture was devoted to the subject of "Building Better Busi ness, by Bulld'ns Better Men ' and he developed the topic by showing that better men and better business can be brought about only by an unselfish service on the part of the individual. Cliques and classes do not promote better men, while on the other hand the mingling of men upon cummou gruunu will pruvu an uplift to all. Individual betterment must be accompanied by community betterment, bis audience was told. During his lecture he frequently dropped in .thoughts expressed In poetry of his own composition and his smooth running talk coupled with the music of the poetry gave the audience a most delightful even ing. . . His lecture was prefaced by ' a short program by Princess To Aw and her company, who presented Indian songs, dances and legends. , . Today Is the big day at Chautau qua.

Unless better success in signing up Tuarantors la met with tonight thin has result so far Roseburg will hare no Chautauqua next year. The task of finding persons willing to sign the contract Is progressing very ilowly and the present outlook is that there will not be enough to guarantee a return next year. : The principal reason for this con dition la the fact that the ticket price for next year has been In creased from 2.50 to $3.00 for the adult ticket. Tho management is aeking approximately $2.10 more for next year than this year, aitnougn the number of tickets to be sold is less. Next year there will be no Sunday programs, the sessions cover ing eight days Instead of seven. The management makes one lib eral concession in favor of the guar antors that being in the selling of season tickets after the opening day. At the present time season tickets sold after the openln date do not Miunt for the guarantors but next year all season tickets sold before ind after the opening of Chautau qua will be counted on the guaran tee. The flnrl plea for guarantor to sign the contract will lie made today and unless a sufficient number are procured there will be no Chautau qua neit year. and Beregenaria other than tho s limited amounts for medical pur- poses whether sealed or not.
