Contemplated Street Improvements
Are Nipped in Bud.

tention to improve some forty blocks
of public thoroughfares the present
season a large majority of owners of
property abuttdng the contemplated
improvements Monday night remon-
strated against the passage of an or
dinance authorizing the betterment,
and consequently no street improve
ments will be made this year.
While the property holders general
ly concede that the street improve
ments are almost necessity, they OBJ
jected to the character of the improve
ment, the council specifying gravel
to width Of sixteen feet in the center
and to such depth as will withstand
a reasonable amount of travel there
on. 1t was not understood by the
owners that the graveling of the forty
blocks was deemed by the council
a temporary improvement, and that
when hard-surface streets were de-
this cost would not be lost
to them, otherwise the remonstrance
would have at least been less numer-
ously signed.

Who MAKE IT POSSIBLE
BUSINESS, MEN BEHIND CHAU-
TAUQUA.
Should a Deficit Follow Entertain
ment They Alone Are Re-
sponsible Therefor.

The Dallas Chautauqua, which be-
gins its siX-day festival of entertain.
ment on Saturday, June 27, comes
here solely by reason Of a big cash
guarantee signed by fifty Commercial
club, local business and professional
men. This is one of the sixty chau-
tauquas on the Pacific coast circuit
managed by the Ellison-White System
of Portland, Oregon. If there should
be any deficit, these guarantors have
to make it good; if any profits, they
all go to the chautauqua management.
The guarantors can only meet their
guarantee by selling season tickets,
yet they get no complimentaries them
selves, but have to pay the same as
anybody else. Sounds funny that
business men enter that kind of a
deal. Still, they consider it good bus
mess. The reason is that they want
the chantauqua because it is a good
thing for the town and for everybody
in the town. They know that the
same program and equipment if Sc
cured other than through this eflic-
iently managed system or circuit,
would cost nearly double, thus greatly
increasing the risk involved. To them
the chautauqua is not money-making
proposition, but in the same class as
the public schools, the public library
and kindred institutions.
The official program issued during
the past week shows that if a person
should pay regular admission prices
of 25 to Is cents each for single
events, it would cost $6.40 to take in
the long series of features. By pur-
chasing season ticket at $3.50, the
purchaser saves $500, and he has the
privilege of transferring the ticket to
any other member of the family for
any events he may not be able to at
tend. Children between the ages of
six and fourteen years may obtain
season tickets at 81, and they must
have these in order to enter the In-
dian games.
During the six days there are thirty
entertainments given, including ten
ten lectures and ten special
novelty entertainments. There is
doing every minute from
nine 'clock in the morning until ten
or eleven at night, except the meal
hours.
Up to the present time the guaran-
tee has not been met, and neither will
it be until nearly half a hundred
more season tickets have been dispos-
ed Of The time is growing short,
md the management is DESTROYS of
closing up the guaranteed sale with
,ut delay. Therefore, if you have
in subscribing, edo it
low"
Pioneers who have resided in the
county thirty years and upwards are
to apply to Secretary Miles
or complimentary tickets for the
opening day.
