LARGE DONATION MADE.
Civic Improvement Club Receives Substantial
Amount from former Chautauqua
Association

Last winter several men of this
city joined together to give "A
series of Chautauqua entertain
ments, which they did, not for
the purpose Of profit, but rather
for the purpose of giving to the
people of Canyon City some of
the best class of lectures and
musical entertainments.
When their week of attractions
was over they found they had a
profit Of $3.50 and it has been
pulling the minds of these peo-
pie just what they should do
with the amount. This week the
solution Of the matter came and
the entire amount was donated
to the Civic Improvement Assoc
citation to be used in their work
of beautifying the city. No re-
strictions were placed upon the
fund and it was turned over to
the Improvement Association
without reserve. This will give
the association quite an assist
ance, especially in view of the
fact that they have just complet,
ed a nice building at the Gene
terry, having painted and other
wise finished the building so that
it is neat enough for anyone.

hundred head of Hereford cat

as known there is no record of
any such price being paid for
that number of COWS and calves
in this state before.
The cattle will be moved to

time. He will keep the calves
until they are three or four years

the heifers will be kept for

A Touch of Black
on Summer Suits

The linen suits continue
to appear in more and more
attractive guise and the lat
est fad of all is to give these
costumes a touch of black.
A few Of the models in nat
ural colored linens are fas-
tened with big jet buttons
or have collars, cuffs and
perhaps a tie Of black water
ed silk.
Then again pearl buttons
are lavishly used for trim
ming purposes on these
suits. A suit of mixed gray
and white linen illustrates
this idea and the rows of
closely set small white butt
tons on pockets, fronts, and
running down the front Of
the skirt, together with a
skilful use ofnarrow stitched
bands of the linen lend an
air Of distinction to an other
wise perfectly plain suit.
