We are very sorry that an unfor

County and that our Mr. Flint exceed
ed his instructions in entertaining to
enter into a second contract in this sec
tion for a summer Chautauqua this
season. .
The ¿Ellison- White Management, in
gixxl faith entered into an agreement
for a summer Chautauqua at DeMoss
Springs this season, not having in mind
at any time to entertain or conduct a
second series in the county this year.
v We aim to make this Chautauqua at
DeMoss Springs second to none in
Oregon and the local committee in
charge and the Ellison-White Manage

of the entire county to do it. All de

be under our control during all times,
and we are sure we will satisfy the
most fastidious before the series, con
