Onco again Union county Is at tho eve of that annual event which hua come to bo aynonomous with tho bet ter tilings of 1a Grande, namely the chuutauqua. In spite of rain and clouds, there is u decree of enthusi asm and a spirit of cooperation in tho Bene rut campaign to make the comi Ing session profitable and instructive. There is a new and added zest in the session because there is an en tirely new company at tho buso of Hiipplfes for talent. Tho Kllison While talent will not appear this year. Instead tho Cad mean Chuu tauiia is sending out a combination of lecturers, musicians, etc., that should attract to the sylvan retreat in Iliverside park, from June 24 to 29, a great crowd of seekers of know ledge and entertainment. Officers, directors and members and friends of the institution in gen eral, are "pepped" up to uso a vut gar expression to the holding of one one the biggest and best chauluuquas in the 15 years of that institution's life in Lti Grando. Tho general arrange ments have been completely grasped and arranged, and there remains very little mo rev to do at this time than to ring up tho curtain on week from Sunday. Dr. Hay Murphy, supported by a baker's dozen of directors, and they in turn backed up by a new and en couraging community support, havo been working quietly but effectively to stage great scries of lectures and musical programs. FUpE TRANSPORTATION Any chautauqua pation who has no conveyance should ro to the Y. t.M1. C. A. comer when those who have autos will pass by when going to the park after seven o'clock in the evening. Patrons with autos are volunteering to in variably pass this point so that a serious obstacle, that of trans portation, is thus removed. TALENT IS OF AHIGHORDER The combination of lecturers and musicians thi year is indeed a happy headed by J. N. Tinchor, congress man from Missouri, who is widely known as the joint author of the famous Capper-Tlncher bill. Mr. Tincher is known as a real farmer friend In congress, lie has devoted years to the study or ihe tanners' needs, and he has the happy faculty of being able to tell what he knows in a convincing and impressive manner. Not only has ho a message for the farmers of Union county, but he brings something worth while for tho businessmen, lie speaks In tho ev ening Monday. Itunning shoulder to shoulder is P. Kong, the imminent Chineso journal ist who has won International fame Cnr bin miiriiHtv and WHiom. lie sits in council with the gulders of the world's political destiny. Mr. Fong Is abundantly able to add that be witching wit and humor native of the orient, into his philosophy and observations. Andrew S. Beshorc lectures on tho fternoon and evening of tho first day the first "going some" and the second not for sale." Mr. Breshore's spe cial mission in life seems to make others happy and therefore be happy himself. He is one of the most valu ed men in chautauqua today. Fred K. Gates comes on the third day lecturing in the afternoon on the The usual caniu TRpilitie.s w" lv 'enchanting theme, "Boy Dad & Co." available. J. C.

Dr. Murphy Heads Board Of Chautauqua Directors Mnnv" new men and women have aligned themselves with the direct 'management of the Grande Ronde chautauqua during the past two or three years, and many of the old reliables have given way to tho "newer brooms." Dr. Hay Murphy is serving his third year as presi dent ami has thrust into tho management the enthusiasm and vim that is needed by an execu tive of any organization- He has been generously backed up by tiie entire boaril and by the members in general.

Four Groups of Entertain ers to Appear on Program of Cadmean Circuit Dur ing Week. Musleut numbers havo alwuys been one or the best drawing cards of past Chautauquas, und this year the mimical entertainers will be the host obtnlnablo on any circuit operating in tho West, rroininent umoug these will bo Waldi-mar Geltch, ono of the greatest Concert Violinists on the stage today, and without doubt the greatest American violinist, and he. with the assistance of Miss Louise lA'o Ilren and Mrs. Geltch will appear on the program on Monday afternoon and evening. Miss Broil is u charm ing soprano and her portion of the concert is a well selected program that will meet with the approval of everyone. Tho Jano Hollyman entertainers will open tho season's program on Sunday afternoon with an entertain ment that will 'be a pacemaker for the balance of the week. They come highly recommended and play music that is full of pep and mirtn, and uso a number of different Instruments such as suxaphones, violin, mandolin. and a lurgo Murilnhu-xylophono and we all will get a real treat when these peoplo appear. On Wednesday Lot's Pacific Sore nnders will give two programs, one In tho afternoon and tho other in the evening. Banjos, mandolins, guitars, violins, nkelels and everything that goes, with such instruments will make an entertainment to please the taste every one. Their programs con sist of many melodious times of the Hawaiian type thut are rendered Willi a charm and grace that will carry one back to Honolulu, and will with out doubt be one of the most pleas ing programs of the entire week. On Thursday afternoon and night the "Marine Maids" will render the entire program, and any musical or ganization thut can fill two programs must necessarily have somo pleasing entertainment. These young ladies have tho nece ssary qualifications as musicians to hold an audiencu during tho entire afternoon and evening programs and . I wherever they have appeared through out the circuit havo aroused consider able comment on their splendid per-! ofrmances. , Their music, both vocal and instrumental, . touches of tho nautical airs, and they carry special scenery that will carry every v ono abourd a typical modern ship.
