About fifty puslness men and far mers from the nearby country sign ed the contract for next year's Chau tauqua, thus putting their stamp of approval on the event, and aa this will be the fifth annual Chautauqua, It appears tht It can be looked upon as a permanent Institution here. There was a sentiment among some of the people to reject the contract for next year and some of those signing last year are not on the 1920 guaran tee list, but many of the people who have been on sery guarantee that has been signed for this community are to be foundjthere this year. The benefit of the Chautauqua is aot confined to tie music and lectures some of which are excellent, but the association of the town and nearby residents, under tha big canvas for six days seems to have a wholesome effect that is felt for the entire year. Such talent as Judge Alden, al though not as popular as some of the others because of the wholesome truth of their lectures, are not to be excelled anywhere, and the endorse ments received from the press of the west where these people appear Is such that shows i a community like this one that they are not amiss In renewing their contract. We believe the talent could well be strengthened, and should bo by the addition of at least one strong, well known man of the Murdoch or Bryan type on every circuit, and by this action the Ellison-White people would eliminate much of the dissatisfaction that Is heard about the tent and the community, but the statement can be safely made that Prineville will no doubt have a Chautauqua tor years to come, and there Is no question about 1920, for Chautauqua will be here regardless of all else.
