Chautauqua q Success

Late Wednesday afternoon a COM
mittee from the Mandan commercial
club drove over to Bismarck and met
the officers and directors of the Bis.

The Mandan committee comprised

ton.
The object OF the visit was to secure
the cooperation OF the Bismarck com.
mercial club In boosting the Chautau-
qua that Is to be held At Mandan com.
mencing Friday, July ~.
Mandan helped Bismarck material
ly in boosting the Industrial EXPOSE
ton last fall. On the occasion of the
industrial parade last year there were
more Mandan automobiles In line
than Bismarck cars. Mandan also
purposes to boost the Exposition this
year. 1t is therefore only fitting that
Bismarck people should assist Man.
dan in making her hrst annual Chau.
tauQua a success.
There has always been a spirit of
rivalry between the two cities, but
competition Is mainstay Of business.
In any movement that affects the en-.
tire Slope or works to the advantage
OF both cities, Mandan and Bismarck
have pulled together. They will con-
tinue to do 80. Bismarck people have
always patronized Mandan's fairs and
Mandan has r~eci2rocated. The inter
ests Of the two cities are in common
and cooperation in regard to the Chau.
tauqua will be, but another instance
of exemplifying the friendly feeling
that really exists between these two
leading cities Of the Missouri Slope.
The Bismarck commercial club has
put it's O. X. on Alandan's Chautau-
qua. 1t has always seemed strange
that residents Of the capital city have
heretofore been obliged to 60 to Dew.
lis Lake or Valley City or some other
place to find a good place to camp out
and attend Chautauqua. The opening
Of Mandan's grounds will give Bis.
marck an ideal outing place right at
home.
Mandan's Chautauqua grounds are
about the ppettiest In the state. Lo'
Gated in the cool shady grove that
borders the Heart river, with a love
ly driveway out from the city and en-
circling the grounds, no better place
can be found for pitching a tent and
enjoying a week or SO outing. al.
ready there have been many tentine
privileges granted, and Bismarck PEG
pie have been invited to come ovel
and enjoy the camp to the utmost.
The grounds have been lighted with
arc lights and incandescents, and
watchmen have been employed day
and night so that people who attend
will be free from disturbances. A
plan is on foot to dam the Heart river
and make it a pleasant place for boat
ing and bathing, and this will proba'
bly, be accomplished in the near FIJI.
ture.
A splendid program extending over
a period Of twelve days has been ar
ranged and commences Friday after
noon, July ~. The first lecture will
be delivered by Capt. Richmond Pear
son Hobson, the hero of Santiago Bay
1t is believed that special arrange
ments will be made to enable Bis
markers to hear this noted lecturer.
Other excellent features have been
arranged, and there y no doubt but
that Mandan's first Chautauqua will
be an unqualified success.
