FAIR AND CHAUTAUQUA
Combination Suggested that Meets
With General Approval.

Interest is rapidly developing in
both country and town in the propos-
ed organization of a new Mahaska
County Fair Association Plans are
also suggested for union of fair and
chautauqua associations, and the
proposition seems to meet with APP
proval. A willingness to assist finan-
cially or to take stock in some such
company to be Incorporated is openly
expressed by citizens of Oskaloosa
and representatives of the farming
community. 7
Over one thousand dollars in cash
for stock in a fair and chautauqua or
ganization was voluntarily offered
Friday evening in a little chance
| meeting of citizens at the Howar
cigar store, No. 203 High avenue west.
Attorney John C. Williams took up
the subject mentioned by some one
and opened the discussion with
number of clear cut expressions.
Others Clipped in" now and then
and the opinion prevailed that now
was an opportune time in which to
make an effort to get together in the
matter. First one man offered to
take stock in such an organization,
and then another offered financial
backing, until over one thousand dol
lars had been mentioned, and this in
little company of half dozen peo-
pie.
| Definite action at an early date is
likely looking toward a temporary or
ganization to canvass the matter thor
Oughly in town and county to a:cer.
tain the wishes of the community. 1t
is probable that mass meeting of
citizens and farmers will be called at
an early date to take up the matter
in a formal way and committees or
representatives appointed to canvass
the proposition in each township.
Those who have gone into the de-
tails of the combined plan say the
old fair grounds could be secured, and
an auditorium capable of seating s.
900, and built to be used at any sea
son of the year, with base ball dia-
monds, grand stands, etc, could be
provided, all for about 100000. Four
hundred shares of stock at 800 per
share would insure the improvement
and give OskalOosa, what she has
long needed. a park with an auditor
ium sufficient for all big gatherings.
