Last night marked the close OF
Tulsa second ehautiuqua which was
a success in every way, Each after
noon and every evening saw the Bap-
tist Church, where the chautauqua
was held, comfortably filled.
Last night Edward Amherst OF was
the lecturer OF the evening, assitsed 10y
the Star Quartette which gave the
program Of the afternoon. Mr.. OFT Is
known as the purposeful orator He
is one Of those men who sets an aud
ience to thinking. This he does by
using the catechism style OF lecture,
asking O question and then answering
IT, He was pronounced O. X, by the
listeners The Star Quartette was
good. The violin solos by Josef Bst-
line Of the company were n feature
of the program that was highly ap-
preCiated
Sunday was the big day OF the
chautauqua In Tulsa. u. Ward King
the good roads man, who has effected
the road laws Of six states, was the
speaker of the afternoon. It was a
keen audience that listened to Mr.
King. There Is probably no other
state in the union where the good
roads movement Is accepted as grace
fully in Oklahoma. Oklahomans are
u 40 al
The audience was receptive, and much
benefit was derived from the lecture
Both business men of Tulsa and the
farmers OF Tulsa County were In at
tendance.
d. Ward King Is famous as the In
ventor OF the King drag and other
methods Of improving country roads,
az we'll as city streets. f. ID. Coburn,
who has become famous as the head
Of the Kansas state department OF
agriculture, is one Of the endorsers
of Mr.. King.
In Mr.. Kings PLAN roads are drag
ged with a split log, and in some in
stances a mixture OF crude oil or other
similar material is worked into the
dirt Owing to the sturdy nature Of
Oklahoma roads, Mr. Kings plan
would work fnie in the vicinity of
Tulsa.
BY dragging the oil into the roads,
flrmer bed would be the effect, and
hauling would be easier. The devel-
opment OF the agricultural industry
around Tulsa is of prime import
ance and as the result of the lecture
yesterday, many heads were set to
thinking along new lines
The lecture in the evening, Hun
CRY People," by sylvester A. Long has
been on the lecture platform constant
ly since 1904 and proved that his ex-
perence was a worthy attribute.
Hungry People" is a study Of the
philosophy OF desire. Mr.. Long con-
siders desire the supreme life force
and the one enduring impulse His
lecture has been pronounced by many
as the best done by Mr., Long. 1t is
filled with n great many strong points
and has sufficient humor.
