Amusement
' During the summer the press of the
country will from time to time have
occasion to refer to the hundreds of
Chatauqua meetings We ask our
iluZota U liuie uieae press notices
and note the high character of the
speakers, singers and teachers men
tioned therin. We only have two such
organizations in this state one at Ore
eon City, the other at Ashland. Ash
land is not as large as La Grande, but
has 'maintained successful Chatauqua
for several years. La Grande could
easily to secure a chatauqua and if
once inaugurated, like all good things,
the wonder would be why we did not
CO It long ago.

Otting The ( oast Together.
One hundred Callfornians, under the
auspices of the California Promotion
Committee and other organizations of
the State left San Francisco Saturday
evening, June 12th, for a visit to the
Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc exposition' on
the most elaborately euuiuped train
that ever traveled over any railroad, i
The eleven coaches and dynamo car
were equipped with telephones and
wireless telegraph, and had all the
conveniences of a modern social club.
The object of the visit was to ce
dent closer the bonds of friendship
between the states on the Pacific
elope, and during the entire time of
the trip the Callfornians were "boost
ing" the exposition, and working for
closer commercial and political rela
tions between all the seven states of
the slope.
This visit fully demonstrated the de
sirability of a class union of all the
Pacific slope Btates, which would be
of great advantage to the whole dis
trict. The exposlton was found to be
of vast educatonal benefit, as it was an
epitome of the industrial development
of the empire west of the Rockies, and
those who made the trip are strong
in their desire to have every person
In Idaho, Utah. Oregon, California and
Arizona. Join with the people of Wash
ington In making the fair the success
it deserves to be.

Good Show at Scenic.
One of the best programs that has
ever been shown on a vaudeville stage
Is on the boards at the Scenic this
week. Petrie and Budd, eccentric co
medians are certainly there with th
goods and judging from the number
of times they were called back they
made quite a hit with the La Grande
theatregoers. Rosa and Green also
made friends with the large audience.
"The Carnival at Nice, 1909" is one of
the mosthemitif1 flim r?r
been seen here. All of the gorgeous
floats which participated in that great
event are Bhown very clearly and are
certainly a treat to those who see it.
Tonight is the last night that it will
be shown iere.

The county clerkB olflce has been
busy for the past two weeks issuing
warrants for coyote scalp bounty. In
the past two weeks they have issued
warrants for $136.50. Thirty dollars
of this is for cougar skins and the
other is for coyotes. Many of the
hunters are under the wrong lmpre
slon concerning thiB law as there have
been several cases when Just the scalp
of the coyote was brought in. The
law requires that the whole skin of
the animal be brought to the clerks
office before warrants can be issued.
