THE CHAUTAUQUA

Tie olmmer School and Chautau-
qua this week, il any thing, has been
more Of a success than the first week.
Cine OF the most pleasant features Of
the educational work now being
carried on in our midst, is unqucs-
ticnably the Chautauqua feature Of
lectures and entertainment. They
have been Of an exceedingly higl!
standard and have furnished both
teachers and citizens Of the con-
munity with ideals Of the best in
each line Of culture taken up by the
management. In closing contracts
with these lecturers and entertainers,
not cost but merit hiss been tie lain
consideration, The management
look 10 the people Of the community
to show their appropriations anu at
tend in large numbers.
The culture and good taste Of the
citizens are at the bar Of judgement.
II the Chautauqua proves hnan'
cial success. it will &c repeat4d N
some farm annually. If it proves a
loss, this will end all such attempts.
So far the management is about
even but some costly attractions are
vet to come, such as DR.. Munroe,
scientific hyprotisi, Sam Jones, and
the lecture on liquid air. These
should be attended by the citizens
of the town en- masse.
There has been some talk abou'
the School Board being asked tt
assume the loss. if there aaoula be
any. The management desires Us
| to say that in getting up this Chau
| tauqua course, they realized that !
might prove unsuccessful financial,
and have been prepared to assume
such losses. No one will be asked tt
make good any deficit, if there u
any. The School Board made al
appropriation towards the leabod.
Summer School, and has done al
that the management feel the schoo
Board should do. The Chautauqu
benefits the community OF FrankltI
and not the School Board; and IN
appreciation of the community ca
he shown only by large attendance.
Here's for another Chautauqua /
1902. Let US all attend every ut
traction for the balance q tGe ses
sion. 1t is the only way to get j. /

The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1901-10-11

Ernest l.. Harris, United State con-
sular agent at Eibenstock, has informed
the state department that valuable min
eral treasures have recently, been discoy-
cred in Palestine, and that it is safe to
say the industrial awakening of the Holy
Land is no longer dream. He says it is
true that the greater part OF the once
hourishing country is barren desert, the
lines Of communication are miserable,
and traffic is unsafe aside from the one
railroad from Yafa to Jerusalem. Mr..
Harris says that the newly-discovered
mineral deposits lie on both sides of the
Jordan and the Dead sea- The salt de-
posts of the Dead sea also could be de
veloped into an industry. The consul
considers phosphate the most important
Of all deposits, and says the immense
fields Of that mineral to the east and west
of the Jordan need only better means of
traffic and communication in order to in
sure their development. This, it would
seem, is not far distant, as the Turkish
government is planning a continuation of
the Yafa-Jerusalem railroad, and steam
boats are already plying the Dead sea.
