CHAUTAUQUA COMMITTEE
TO meet NEXT THURSDAY
Executive Body Will Consider Ac-
tion Relative to Holding
Summer Assembly.
OUTLOOK IS SATISFACTORY

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Copper Country Chautauqua,
composed of a number OF the pastors
and prominent laymen of the Methodist
Episcopal churches OF the county, who
We're in charge of the summer assem-
bly, held last July at the Electric park,
will meet on Thursday evening next to
consider plans for holding another sim
liar gathering this coming summer.
Rev. James Pascoe, general superin-
tendent of the Houghton district OF
the M. T.. church. left yesterday after
noon for the iron country to hold a
series of quarterly conferences at vari-
Gus churches under his supervision.
and he will return home on Wednesday
next. Previous to his departure yes
terday he and Rev. w. e. Marvin of
Hancock. called upon Gardiner Rogers,
of the Houghton County Traction COM
pany, relative to securing the Electric
park for the assembly and arranging
for car accommodations.
Some difficulty had been experienced
in obtaining permission to use the park
| and pavilion, the traction company
finding II more to their advantage to
maintain the regular schedule of dan
ces and other features to which the
park is devoted. 1t therefore looked
as though the project OF holding an
assembly this summer would either
have to be abandoned or some other
place selected for the purpose. AS q
result of yesterdays conference, how
ever Mr.. Rogers consented to recon
slider the matter and his decision will
be reported to the committee some
time today.
| The committee will meet on Thurs
day next to take such action as may b,
suggested by Mr.. Rogers announce
ment of the decision OF the Traction
people. The meeting will probably b'
held in Hancock, although this is no
certain. as the local members are will
ing to meet elsewhere IL any of thu
committee residing elsewhere find /
/ difficult to come here.
