The Chautauqua
Wednesday Afternoon

The prelude of the afternoon
was given by the Dunbar COM
pany and it goes without say.
ing that everyone was more
than satisfied with each num-
Der. In our estimation the
chautauqua management is to
be commended for the excellent
standard Of the musical num-
bers which we have had during
our chautauqua. The bell
numbers by the Dunbars re-
ceived great applause by the
large audience present.
Platform Manager Bryan
then introduced Ex-Governor
Frank Hanley of Indiana as
speaker for the afternoon. Mr..
Hanley is considered one of the
great orators of the United
States and his lecture was
given along the lines of "Patri-
otism." He gave very vivid
descriptions of the war with all
is terrors and hardships and
there were very few people in
the audience who were not
stirred by his excellent por.
trayal of those terrible times
He stated that the war scare
which the newspapers tried to
start from time to time was
nothing but pure fallacy. He
las enough faith in his own
country to believe that there is
not nation on earth that can
defeat it. He also hopes the
time will come when the men
that represent the common
people will be good, clean, hon
est men and be above brides
For example he cited several
cities in this country where
CRAFTS had been exposed in
great numbers. One place in
New York nearly every city
official is in Jail on the charge
of appropriating school funds
We hope to hear Hanley again
on our chautauqua platform.

The entire evenings perform

was that the program was to

Chautauqua Notes
Presbyterian Church

All the usual services of the
day will be omitted at the
Presbyterian church next Sun.
day except the Sunday school.
The purpose is to permit every
body to attend chautauqua.
The SundayNschool will meet at
1880 o'clock instead of the
usual hour. This will enable
all the teachers and pupils to
come to Sunday school and still
have plenty of time for an early
dinner before the chautauqua
hour. All come to Sunday
school.
A woman now is in charge of
the United States mint, rank
ing next in authority to D1rec-
tor George 3. Roberts. Mrs
Clark Fisher, of Trenton, N. j.,
is said to be able to make an
anvil. She inherited the found
ry of her husband and learned
how to run it herself. Many
women have a reputation for
pounding the anvil and spend
ing money, in which particulars
they differ from these two
members of their sex.

This is a Kalem story of the
mining days of the West. The
scenes of this picture were
taken in the Big Tejunga Can
on, Ca ltornia At one time
CHS eau n was the scene of a
great gold rush, but owing to
the great isolation of the valley
it was not discovered until the
earlier rush was over. The
story as told in the finn is most
interesting and coupled with
the scenery shown, makes a
dandy film.

Chautauqua Notes
The chautauqua is certainly
drawing a large crowd. The
wea! her is ideal and there is no
reason why this years meeting
she .!dn't be a record breaker.
The crickets are very bad
this year, we know, but when
it comes to eating a pair of
mems trousers up in one even
ing, that is too much for us to
believe.

An Edison comedy. In a
little town in the east three
rich young men join the fire
department. A fire call com. s
in and the young men get
ready to make their first run,
and they take their time. When
they finally arrive at the fire
their rivals have put out the
fire and have taken possession
of the young ladies that are
upmost in their minds. The
closing scenes of the picture
are most comical, where the
three Heroes turn the hose on
the girls and their new fellows.

The United States has an experiment farm on
the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma. Here
ults even more marvellous than in the valley
are produced Down on the lower levels there
are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally
during December and January, but on the mesa
the breath of frost never touches the most del
icate vegetation Oranges grown at the FEEDER
al experiment station are unsurpassed in their
delicious quality.
Yuma is q busy, up-to-date town. The more
modern improvements consist of several blocks
of attractive brick buildings. a three-story post
office building, also OF brick, and many other
nice structures Among some of the greater
improvements which are being made, are a
s35 900 school building, q $4,000 ice plant, a
fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, "a
larger passenger depot, and the probability of
a new court house to cost ST., 900. THERE'S con-
siderable business done there, but the people
have not begun to awaken to the vast possibili
ties of the place. They should at once erect an
up-to-date tourist hotel. It should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with all
kinds of tropical vegetation II atmosphere
were only transportable like mineral waters,
and one could send conSignments of this Yuma
winter air to the East the inspiration of its
health-giving qualities would bring 25O00
tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo
RADIO River.
Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic
attractions in the parts OF the East swept every.
year by billiards. and snowStormS to attract "a
city full every winter. he fertility of the val
ley below will almost make itself known with
out effort on the part OF the people. But with
valley full Of intelligent and Industrious rural
population, producing fruits and vegetables,
poultry, eggs fresh milk and fragrant butter,
Yuma should be one OF the most delightful
winter resorts in all America There is every
thing there to furnish tourists with the most
healthfnl and delicious food. and if the air in
that region does not drive doctors to seek a
living elsewhere. it will be because the people
do not know how to live properly.
The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909,
and in ten years from today the attractions OF
Yuma as q health resort and the fertility of
these bottom lands will be so well known that
it will require $1,000 in cash to buy single
acre of it,

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment
station in the heart OF this big valley, which
rs some twenty-four miles long, and in spots
ten TO twelve miles wide, down on the lower
level. The results are wonderful. Last week
they were eating crop OF alfalfa on this ex-
perimeLtal farm, and for seven consecutive
months they will cut succeeding crops. The
only months when the crop is not cut here are
December and January.
Cotton and tobacco grow wi the greatest
luxuriance, and this rich alluval soil will be
noted in a very few years as the ideal spot in
the whole country for dairying, hog raising,
the production of poultry and veget ables, which
one hesitates to call early or late, as they will
be perennial. New potatoes will be produced
in the middle of January, tomatoes will be
ripe by the first Of March. ripe grapes will be
gathered in the early days of May, and april
cots by the middle of the same month. Chic
kens and turkeys flourish there in the winter
time beyond all experience anywhere else.
The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes
only three or four times in whole winter
