THE POLK COUNTY OBSERVER, TUESDAY, APRIL 28th, 1914 HAS SPLENDID PROGRAM DALLAS CHAUTAUQUA PROMIS ES SOME BIO THINGS Amusements Booked Are of Extreme ly High Order and Should Prove Decidedly Attractive. Extensive preparations are making ffT 1 ha llallaa I'haiiliiiiiiia urhioli will be held in this city six days com' mencing ' June 27. The grounds, which comprise eight acres, are, be ing put in better condition, by level ing and clearing, and when -the open ing day arrives they will present a greatly improved appearance. The list of attractions is unusually strong, each of the six days being crowded with good things, and the management is enthuiastic over the program as ar ranged. The Chautauqua is the Ellison-White System, than which there is none better. Dr. Frank Gunsauliis of Chicago, one of the greatest orators on the American platform today, and who addreseses overflowing Tcongregations at the -Auditorium each Sunday, will appear here on the second day of the Chautauqua, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Dr. Qunsaulus will take for his theme, ' 'The New America. ' ' The general manager of this System went East last August instructed to engage the best concert band he could find. He heard Thaviu, Creatore, The Chicago City Band, The White City Band and Ciricillo. The G. M. got a .,....;,. iir, ;0 ,,,,,,i,-i Af eleven years of age he was cornet so loist of the Genoa (Italy) Municipal Band. At eighteen he was assistant director of the Italian Guards Band. nine years agu lie orguuizeu ma uwu band of young Italian students and musicians. Today that band is su perb! And it is ours. The contract .is the largest ever given a concert band for a western tour. Even with so splendid an organiza tion as the above, this System deems it best to provide a grand opera com pany. The success of T, haviu 's Grand Opera Company last year was such that the extra expense seems justified. Another splendid company is under ' contract through Mr. Thaviu and will appear at night with Ciricillo s Ital ian Band. No name is better known in Chau tauqua circles than that of Dunbar; The Dunbar Singing Orchestra is a big standard attraction under the per sonal management of Mrs. Ralph Dun bar. Mr. Dunbar coaches the Com pany each Spring and Fall, keeping it in splendid training for high-grade work. He also gives it his name, the highest compliment he can pay. The Lyric Club is also standard. For ten years it has. held the foremost place among American quartets. The United States Government sends only the best to its boys at Panama. The Lyrics have been sent on this tour two different years I In 1908 and again in 1910. We will have the same four boys ! Francis Ives Hendry will be the humorist with the Club. Four male voices in harmony, singing the best music, using also some musical novelties which will appeal to all lov ers of music. Two concerts by the, Lyrics at Chautauqua. Three soloists, presenting violin, baritone and piano, make up the El ' wynn Trio. Isadore Berger, pupil of Ysaye and Caesar Thompson, will be the violinist. . This colored company has been sev en years with one Chautauqua com pany in the eastern states. They sing Jubilee songs in real Jubilee style. Chnutauqua folks never tire of good Jubilee music, and this is one of the best companies on the plattorni. If anyone will add lustre to a Chau tauqua it is Jjr. ureen. it cosis one hundred and fifty dollars per lecture to get him. Recent noted engage ments are the Boston Citv Club, The Kansas City Knife and Fork Club and the American Peace Conference. His oration before the Peace Conference upset all calculations and is now pro nounced the biggest piece of platform work since Mr. Bryan's speech at Chicago in 1896. Mrs. Chilton is a delightful enter tainer. She has the Southern charm of manner and dialect. She imper sonates the most difficult characters with ease. She radiates good nature.. Everyone likes Mrs. Chilton.. . Peter MacQueen, world famed trav eler and lecturer, has bee"n engaged to eive his lecture on "Mexico." This lecture is illustrated with beautiful pictures taken by Dr. MacQueen in the heart or Mexico. It cost him thousands of dollars to produce the lecture and is one of the most timely lectures offered in America. Throueh the recommendation of several business men has been added a lecturer in Mr. W. H. Miller in "Community Development." This Chautauqua wants to do things to become a constructive force. There's been too much knocking lately any way. 'If vou must knock, construct something.5' Mr. W. H. Miller is a cyclone on the platform. He says in words what many are trying dimly to think out. He puts into action what usually gets no farther than the editorial page of the up-to-date news paper. Also, his lectures are really entertaining. Yes, F. K. Wedge, now called "The Fighting Parson" held the -welter weight championship of our fair land in 1900. He reformed, graduated from a University in 1908 and tells one of the best life stories on "Why I Quit Fighting" that you ever heard. Let your boy hear Wedge. It will satisfy his curiosity on the prizefight and will start him to thinking how to make a man of himself. This lec ture alone is worth to Dallas all it costs to bring the whole Chautauqua. Chautauquas provide something for everyone. Mrs. A. L. Robinson, a na tive of Australia, and a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, will give her noted travelogue on "The Japanese as I Saw. Them." Mrs. Robinson is a world traveler. Her lectures are graphic. Glasgow gave her an audience of 3000 for her last lecture there. She is one of the best lady lecturers of the present day. An expert in child leadership has been engaged to conduct morning games for children attending Chau tauqua. Stories fy youngsters and a good time every day are in store for them. Each Chautauqua is provided with a series of morning lectures given by the same speaker. He will take a definite theme for the series and au diences will be given a course such as can be heard in no other way. " , GROWERS ARE WAITING LOWER PRICES FOR OREGON HOPS ARE INDICATED. OIL FOR SALEM ROAD COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO SO LICIT NECESSARY FUNDS Cost Per Mile Estimated at Forty-five Dollars, Using County Machinery for Work. At a recent gathering of citizens at the court house, committees were ap pointed to solicit subscriptions to a fund to be used in oiling the Dallas- Salem highway, and these committees are now discharging thaf obligation to the meeting. Messrs. Lee Crider and Holt McDauiels of Dallas and Will Powell of Rickrwll were named to wait upon residents along the road ; Chalmers Kirkpatrick, U. S. Grant and N. L. Guy were appointed to re ceive contributions from local auto mobile owners in Dallas. It was es timated that the highway could be oil ed for $45 per mile using county ma chinery, and of the total sum expend ed the county will come forward with halt. The question or reducing the grade at Eola was discussed at some length, the general opinion prevailing that the county court should be requested to cut down the hills at this point, but this matter was deterred until the reg ular session of the Commercial club, which will be held tomorrow even ing. Although the meeting was not call ed by the Commercial club, it resolved itself into such and President Fuller presided, while Secretary Miles acted in his usual capacity. Dealers Figure on Possible Business at 11 Cents, but There Are No Sellers. EXTERMINATING THE FLY. Dallas Club Hopes to Renew Efforts in Near Future. Owing to its numerous other un dertakings at this particular time the Dallas Woman's Club has thus far found it practically impossible to de vote much attention to the movement to exterminate the fly, but although somewhat late in the season it hopes to renew its campaign to this end. While the thousands of Oregonians are talking a flyless state, and while divers oganizations are outlining defi nite plans for action, the tones of others are vague and vacillating, and redolent of it can't be done. But it can be done, and should be done. , Dr. Hodge, professor of social biol ogy at the University of Oregon, the man who is pointing out the way to become flyless, does not say it is pos sible to rid Oregon or flies in 1914. What he does say is that any com munity, by exercise of common-sense and co-operation, mixed with some consistent effort, can become so free from flies in a Summer that the fly scrouge would never be permitted again anymore than the community would tolerate bubonic plague, hyenas or stinking water. There is some interest displayed again in the hop contract market, but there is no particular activity in the demand, nor is there any selling pressure on the part of growers. If business of any volume . should be worked it would probably be at a low er range of values. A few dealers are still talking 15 cents, but the gen eral quotation on the new crop's 14 cents, with perhaps half a cent better obtainable on a 'favored yard. While a number of growers have indicated they would contract at the higher price named, no offerings at the low er figure are likely to be made. The trade is divided in opinion as to the advisability of taking on new hops at these Quotations. Aside from cases where purchases might be made to cover sales already effected, such operations would be a pure gamble, as the future of the market is wholly uncertain. The crops, which are yet to be made, at present promise very well. Consumption may, or may not, be seriously affected by the prohibi tion movement. Another undetermin ed factor is the financial and indus trial condition that may result from the war. As for the spot market, it has com pletely flattened out. There are no orders onJiand now, so far as known, even at concessions from lately pre vailing prices. Not many hops re. main in the hands of. Oregon grow ers, only about 8000 bales, and spec ulators and dealers at the most do not have over 3000 bales in addition. With an active Eastern and foreign demand this quantity would be insig nificant, when compared with the to tal crop, but with demand lacking and the new season drawing on, this supply is sufficient to act as a de pressing weight on the market. Hold ers are making no efforts yet to un load at less than previous prices, hop ing that new-crop developments will favorably affect the situation. the coming month will throw some light on this phase of the question.

It was the pleasant month of May, And Spring was clad m bloom, When angels came on Sabbath day, To welcome mother home. She fondly bade us all adieu, And could not tarry here, For then did heaven come to view, And matchless glory there. i By faith she saw the son of God, Ajid with his welcome blest, Her faith was firm, through Jesus' blood, -r . ; j, To enter heaven 's rest. But with a mother's love and care, And with true heart and mind, She breathed to God a fervent prayer, For those she left behind. Sad cruel death! and bitter strife, ' They cause us pain and loss, But Jesus gives eternal life, To all, who bear his cross. Just tented on this earthly plain, We pilgrims soon remove, And all must gain salvation's prize, Who reign with Christ above. And when we meet them and rejoice, Amid that sacred throng, How sweet when all with heart and voice, Can sing salvation's song. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT Notice is hereby given that Bessie C.

Monitor. THE QUESTION OF BETTER ROADS . As far back as 1776 Adam Smith, in bis "Wealth of Na- tions," wrote as follows: "Good roads, canals and navigable riv- ers, by dimishing the expense of carriage ,put the remote parts of the country more nearly upon a level with those in the neigh- borhood of the town. Thev are upon that account the greatest of all improvements. They en- courage the cultivation of the remote, which must always be the most expensive circle of the country. They are advantageous to the town by breaking down the monopoly of the country in its neighborhood. Though they introduce some rival commodi- ties into the old market, thev ojen many new matkets to its produce." I Notice is hereby given that by vir tue of an execution and order of sale duly issued out of the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Polk County, on the 30th day of March, 1914, and to me directed upon a judg ment and decree duly rendered by said Court on the 3rd day of Febru ary, 1914, and which judgment was enrolled and docketed in the office of the County Clerk of said Court of the 18th day of February, 1914, in a cer tain suit then pending in said Court, wherein S.
