lust week which whi mors than
twice th amount aiiknd of this
rounty by the stale committee.
While subscriptions came In In
joh amounts that It was difficult
t segregate them and It Is Impossi
ble to toll whether msny of the
subscriber are residents of Prlne
vllle or of the country, perhaps
more than half of the total amount
came from the country districts, al
though the sums are almost equal.
Ninety per cent of the total
amount subscribed was In' cash,

the greatest amount of money hav
ing very smalt pledges or none at

total for several days, but about
110,200.00 haa been given thus far
without question.
It was the Intention of the com
mittor! to have the names of all
who gavo published, but the fact
that almost every man, woman and
fhlld In the county Is on he list,
end that some amounts of consider
able size have been received with
out the names of any donors, makes
the publication of a complete list
Impossible.
It Is sufficient to say that the
people did not wait to have anyone
make a plea for funds. The mere
fart tbnt there is a need, and an
opportunity to give was all that was
required to get the above noted re
sults. We give here a list of the com
munities with the amounts sub
scribed. The list Is Incorrect wo
are well aware, but we print It sub
ject to revision, and with the inten
tion of giving every community the
credit it justly deserves, which is
great.

Beaver $1247.50, Montgomery

RED CROSSING
WAS GREAT SUCCESS
Friday evening the bund gave an
open air concert on Main street
prior to the Red Cross meeting
which was held in the Club Hall. A
large crowd was present. Miss
Maclcnnon, who has spent two years
as a nurse at various European hos
pitals during the war, gave an ac
count of her work and from It, the
audience could readily see the need
for money as well as the services of
more doctors and nurses for this
Important work. Judge Webster, of
Portland, spoke at some length on
the work of the Red Cross and the
reasons for the raising of so great
a sum of money, and he also gave
the reasons why this matter was not
handled by the government. J. H.
Upton then took charge of the meet
ing and with the aid of a capable
force of secretaries quickly raised a
large Bum of money as Prinevllle's
share in this worthy cause.
Arthur Cox, son of Ell Cox, was

Although the wound Is of a criti

On Tuesday after noon the second
Prlnevllle Chautauqua will open for
a six day program. 1
'A description of just what 'the
people may expect In the way of
musical and lecture numbers Is best
given In a letter received by The
Journal this week from J. B. Hurd
who has been with the Chautauqua
throughout the south tor the past
Several weeks, and who is alive to
the tact that the people of this com
munity are anxious to hear the pro
grams it they are good.
Mr. Hurd says:
"At several different times this
spring I have written you of the
program that we had assembled for
your 1917 Chautauqua, bat all that
I had written was based . on past
performances ot the different artists
and lecturers. I have now been
present tor weeks In the south
where we start early and, want to
tell you fearlessly and frankly that
we have never built a program that
haa hit harder pr. pleased better,
During the past weeks we have been
in several cities In California that
have had every one of our pro
grams, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916 and
1917. They are unanimous in tell
ing us that we are this year deliver
ing the best Chautauqua that we
have ever had. -
"The Male Quartet is making a
smashing hit, as I knew they would
with their vocal work and with
Newell's tenor solos, but I had for
gotten how really fine their brass
quartet work was and how splendid
ly Hendry puts over his 'cornet
solos and humorous readings. It's
worth the price of a ticket to hear
him give 'When the Train Comes
In.'
. "The Filion Concert Party was
well named for they ARE a Concert
Party. Theirs is that high grade
offering without which no six day
varied program would be worthy
being called a Chautauqua. They
will not enthuse the audience as
the Military Girls do, for the really
worth while never is as wildly ap
plauded as an offering with more
tun in it. The real musicians of

Captain E. O. Tinkham, who led
the first American fighter to the
front In Franc.
Is distinctly worth while.
"The Military Girls are undoubt
edly the life of the six days. I
have never seen, either in Chautau
qua circles or elsewhere, the riot
ously funny and Intensely interest
ing program that they are deliver
ing. They are good musicians too.
and between 'stunts' they settle
down and splendidly render some
popular selection ot good music. All
the time these splendid entertainers
are smiling the most convincing
proof that their work la not 'work'
to them but Is really a splendid
pleasure. They get their pleasure
In making each summer thousands
ot good Americana a little happier
for their effort.
"Oar Royal Venetian Band Is ot
course, easily the premier attraction
of the week. A very "capable assem
blage of good Italian musicians
featuring one of the best brass sex
tettes you will ever hear. LoZito
is a masterly director and has re
markable control over his men.
Theirs is a record attendance every
where, and assisted by Miss Hays,
who by the way is the best singer
we have ever offered our audiences,
they are giving evenings of real
delight.
"Our Yodlers are closing the
week splendidly. Theirs is a hard
place on the program as they are
compared with all that has gone
before, but in many, many places
they are receiving the first choice
ot all the votes for favorites. Gus
Ochsner, who la with them, haa
captured all the prizes offered in
this country in the last eight years
and all in Switzerland for the four
years previously. He Is sure a
great Yodler.
"The lecture list is most satis
factory. While some of the men
are going stronger and with more
popularity than others, yet, it is a
well balanced faculty for our Can
vas College. Johnson is a teller ot
Evening In the Alps'
ing in the Alps" and features the
world's greatest yodlers In an echo

an astonishing feat In vocalization.
The Tyroleans will probably appear
only In the evening the last day of
