In making the selections for the lycenm course for this season, the Graphic does not hesitate to say to the people o f Newberg that an ex ceedingly strong combination has been made and the coarse, as offered, cannot fail to please a discriminating public that de mands high class, clean enter tainment, such as a good lycenm coarse affords. Possibly the strongest number in the course is the .male quartet and bell ringers. The Dunbars are past “ pro m otin g." Their history is their strongest endorsement.

Editor Graphic and Newberg friends:—I have been making a systematic study o f the condi tions of the Southland in order that I may give the facts and will give yon my unbiased im pressions of this locality—which by the way, I consider one o f the most favored o f the South. . The climate is their glory. Every day has been like every other day since I first came here in May. The thermometer is now ranging between 60° at midnight to 7 8 ° at midday with an ocean breeze of about tw o miles an hour during the day. Each day is clear and nearly every night, bat the dews are so heavy at night that the eav^es drip all night. The cost of living is preceptibly higher than at Newberg. I should say by 15 per cent. Fruit, fisb and most vegetables are reasonable. P o tatoes are scarce at 2 cents per pound, butter 4 5 cents, eggs 4 5 cents, meat 1216 to 20 cents, best flour $ 1.85 , apples 5 cents, bacon 82 cents, condensed milk 12Mi cents, fresh milk 7 cents per auart. Sugar and other grocer ies same as at Newberg. Vege tables are raised the year round and grow very fast. When well fertilized and watered, three and concerts, with no open nights; the other eight weeks being re quired for special rehearsals and coaching. In some of the large courses, they nave appearea an nually during seven years of travel, and, in many others, they have appeared again and again with uniform success, and now about 75 per cent o f their en gagements are returns. One hundred and twenty, different Chautauqua assemblies have heard them and approved, some returning them for the second, third and fourth consecutive year; they often drawing the largest cash receipts o f any at traction. They sing part songs with all finesse o f mature men and finished musicians that they are, and they produce comedy in song that is at once original and refreshing. Most of their musk is in manuscript, not published, much o f which is composed or arranged by members of the com pany. Their equipment is the finest money can buy, their pres ent magnificent carillion o f near ly tw o hundred bellshaving been made under their personal super vision w h i l e aboard.

The water is all piped here as the city water is there and comes by gravity from behind huge dams where it is conserved in the mountains. The water is good but warm. Wells are out o f the question as most of the well w ater is salty or brackish and warm. The cost o f piped water is reasonable. Storms are unknown here al though heavy thunder storms take place at sea on the west and in the Quiamaca mountains on the east and present a beautiful spectacle.
