COMMITTEE IN CHARGE WORK =
ING INCREASINGLY TO CON-
PlETE PLANS.

Those in charge of the Copper
Country Chautauqua TO be held al
Electric park next week. anticipate
that the affair will he the largest sue
cess of any previously held in the dis
trict. Among the features of the event
will be the presenting of "The Dawn
of Plenty" an illustrated address.
William @. Ullrey has charge of the
illustrated portion of this feature.
while Ralph bradford will deliver the
address. '"rhe Dawn of Plenty, grew
out of little book, "The Story of
Rread." the most widely read i'm the
universe today. The Idea for "The
Dawn of Life" was furnished by this
story and is an excellent story of
harships and trials.
In regard to the ability of Mr.. Brad
ford. the lecturer, dispatch says:
Ralph Bradford, who gives THE
.Thc Dawn of Plenty" is the young
est lecturer on the platform. lie is
only Il years Old and he says that
ne started To lecture the day he start
ed To talk. Long before he could get
an audience To listen To him, he would
go out into the woods stand on
stump. and lecture To the trees. This
was in Pennsylvania. Then, he led
his parents to Texas, and proceeded
to lecture to the cowboys. Finally, he
took I'D "rhe Dawn of Plenty" Ere
ouently when Mr.. Bradford arrives In
81 town and the local committee meets
him at the train, he is asked, where's
YOUR father?' At first glance, he does
not look old enough to be n real lee
turer, but after he begins lecturing,
everybody forgets all about size, age,
father, and everything else.
A second feature of the Chautauqua
this year will be the presentation oi
the oratorio, THE Creation" by "a
chorus of one hundred copper country
voices under the direction of Miss Al
ice b. Camper. The fact that MISS

fort bespeaks its success as her ability
as n director of large choruses Is well
known.
A full rehearsal was held at Electric
park Monday evening. The next and
last rehearsal will be held Monday
evening in the park and the orat0rio
will be rendered Wednesday evening, |

START WORK ON NEW STEPS.
Crew of City Employees Commences
Work on Tezcuco Street.

Work was commenced by Street
Commissioner Hosking and n crew of
the city employees this morning install
ling the new steps to be built on the
west side of Tezcuco street, leading
to Water street. The old steps, which
have been standing for the past de-
cade. have been torn away.
The steps near Water and Tezcuco
streets became so dilapidated during
the past few years that residents of
that section of the city recently ap
peared before the council and request
ed that new steps be built before an
accident occurred. The city would be
liable in case a pedestrian was injured
while using the steps and the method
of installing new steps was thought
the wiser and safer plan.
