We cannot expect to have anything so elaborate the first year; nor did they, but we do hope that in a few years the fame of La Grande's Chau tauqua will hare extended through out all Eastern Oregon and that we shall obtain much pleasure and pro fit from it , i Tou are perhaps familiar with all that has already been done. We are fortunate enough to secure a large part of the talent that la to be used In the Chautauquaa of Western Ore gon and California this year ana hope to obtain sufficient state talent to make our course a very- successful one. . ; . , The various committees appointed to secure subscriptions for season tickets have received quite liberal support and have already sold some thing over 600 tickets. For several reasons,' however, the canvass has not yet been completed,' but we hope that when it Is we will have secured the 1000 tickets which we feel we should bave to make this project aa assured success. '.'. ; , It has been suggested that the new city park be used as a nucleus about which to build our grounds. . This beautiful spot would certainly make an ideal foreground for the Chau tauqua grounds proper, and such a combination would add interest to both enterprises.

It is also proposed that we endea vor to secure the framework and canvas of 'the Fair Association or as much as may be necessary to use for an auditorium. With these advantages to start on it surely ought to be easily within the realm of possibility to have a creditable Chautauqua tl first year. The details of 'the 'project will. however, necessarily have to be worked out by the permanent organi zation and their committees. The plan decided upon for permanent or ganization is that a meeting of all the subscribers for season tickets he held and that they elect a board of managers to conduct the affairs of the association. This impresses me an an excellent idea as it gives all. those who contribute to the support of the project a voice in the matter and a personal interest In Its suc cess. Three thousand dollars, the amount we expect to secure from the bale of the 1000 neason tickets might seem on first thought to be sufflcleut to cover all expenses of the under taking, but when we consider that i vrobobly $2500 will have to be ex- pnded for, talent and enterialnme- we can realize that not only str' economy must "be used In handling this fund but we shall In all prob ability be called on to assist In vari ous other ways.' ' ! . T believe that support will be forthcoming as always before.
