TOBEFORNgED.
Open Air Assembly Is in Process Of
Organization for City and
Surrounding Country.
Will BE on FAIR GRouNDs
DIR. Holtz is Here From Pittsburg
Assisting Local Educators and
Others in the Movement.

An opportunity is given the people
of this city and surrounding country
to have the popular institution call
ed a Chautauquqa. 1t is an outdoors
assembly with a program of high
class attractions, consisting of fam
Gus lectures, great concerts, instru-
mental and vocal music; celebrated
Interpreters and impersonators, the
work Of the magician, the artist and
cartoonist, etc., versatile program
of splendid star attractions, ten days
of feast of reason and flow of soul,
with wit. humor and amusements
galore, probably three specially great
days-a farmers day, a young peo-
pies day and a West Virginia day.
Thousands of people will be in at
tendance and great crowds on the
special days.
DR.. Earl D. Holtz, of Pitsburg. a
representative of the Interstate
chautauqua Alliance, Is in the city
assisting County Superintendent L.
w. Ogden and Profs. Duncan and
Martin of the city schools in effect
Ing an organization of the Chau-
tauqua and to help make it one of
the permanent organizations OF our
growing city. Every man, woman
and child would be benefited by such
an Institution here. Think of 1t,
about thirty high-elass attractions
besides the work of various classes
for ten or twelve days! 1t would be
an Intellectual, social and moral up
lift to the entire country for forty
miles around. 1t is reckoned that
the old fair grounds would be the
best location for this popular insti-
tuition. Mr.. Holtz is much pleased
with the fair grounds and thinks
they can be made almost ideal for
a splendid chautauqua.
All this with its cumulative and
varied benefits can be secured for
the asking. By all means let us have
the chautauqua and be in line with
500 other places in the United States
thus graciously favored. A per-
manent organization will be affected
at once. If encouragement is given
the committee having the good work
in hand. Everybody up and at it,
with kind word of cheer and a
little help. and the chautauqua is
ours. ~s

ASTORIA IS AGAIN
VICTORIOUS
HOME TEAM WINS FROM BUNKER
HILL OF PORTLAND THOUGH BY
A CLOSE SCORE -- HOME TEAM
PLAYS AT ABERDEEN NOV, I7TH.

The Astoria football eleven defeated
the Bunker Hill team Of Portland in a
lively and interesting game Sunday by
the close score OF II to 10.
The game was called at a:45 and was
supposed to be played In two 25.minute
halves. with l0-minute interval. but
owing to the hard. dry condition Of the
field. and the rough. hard playing, a
number Of players on both sides were
more or less injured and enough time
was taken out to cause the game to last
until 4,2o o'clock.
The Portland boys were outweighed
by the local team. but made up for
light weight By their clever team work
and speedy plays.
The game was marked by q number
Of unnecessarily rough plays and some
slugging was indulged in.
One Bunker Hill man was carried from
the field in the second half and was out
OF play for the balance Of the game.
Upshur went in as right half back in
the second half, and made grand stand
play by saving the game at the last
moment by a tackle Of Portland's full
back. who was running toward goal and
had passed all the other Astoria men.
Other star plays were made for Astoria
by Morrison, left tackle; Stebick. full
back. and II. Larsen, left guard.
The boys all worked hard and deserve
great credit. With little more prac.
tice on team work and passing they will
put up strong game OF ball against al,
comers.
Chief Gammal acted as referee and his
decisions detected credit upon himself
and Astoria and were satisfactory to all
concerned. Officers Houghton and 0berg
kept the field clear Of excited specta-
tors and rooters.
The home team win 20 to Aberdeen
next Saturday night and will play the
Gray's Harbor boys at that place.
