Riggs will Lecture Tn
 Chautauqua Course

Thousands of lectures are given yearly throughout the United States and in other countries. Millions of people attend them and the themes comprise a scope that would be de- |scribed only with difficulty. But in many instances the lectures, howey- CT good they be intrinsically, fall short of their purpose and leave one dis- satisfied.
 A lecture, accurate Iy speaking. must have method. atmosphere, grace of ex- pression and delivery and that rarest of qualities-inherent value to each |separate audience. Loose and inac- curate statements have no place in it. well as please. Therein many Iec- lures fail, When they instruct they fail to gratify. When they gratffy they often fail to instruct or edr- cate. Neither sort fulhIls lectur- er's purpose-te combine pleasure with profit That ideal to greater ex- tent than is ordinary is attained in the lectures given by Arthur Stanley Riggs, editor, author and lecturer. The results are pleasing to the keenest of senses and uplift and profit to the minds of his auditors. But perhaps the feature which most
 makes these lectures exceptional is the logical arrangement of the con- tents. Here is no confusion, no Juxta1- position of datee and facts but a CO., herent, accurate clear presentation of the subject in such a manner as to enable the simplest mind to carry away definite and lasting impression whose vividness endures. And to this effect. of perfect word pictures the ex- quisfte illustrations give the finishing touch. making the lecture. as a whole. as strong. as complete. as beautiful as a rare painting or a piece of statuary.
 The beauty atmosphere and TO- nance of foreign lands, the potent charm of the magic, mysterious East are all brought forcibly home.
 Fresh from two years living in the Philippines. studying the customs and the people, MT. Riggs has returned to the lecture platform. He is credited with being one of the most prominent lecturers secured to appear in Bridge port for years. The committee of Bridgeport Pastors Association arr ranging for the fifth annual Chautau- qua assembly next week in the New Casino 1915 State street. announced with pardonaible pride that MT. Riggs has been secured to give his lecture. .aThe Real Filipino. Two Years Among the Newest Americans" at s2:3e o'clock in the afternoon of Feb. 27.

the summit OF the Cascade Range, in
southern Oregon, may be reached
from Klamath Falls. Chiloquin, Med

area of 159,36O acres and is situated

caldcra of an extinct volcano. The
lake is surrounded by unbrokcn cliffs
which range from 500 to nearly 1000
feet in height. The coloring OF the
water and of the surrounding cliffs
presents some Of the most striking
pictures seen In the western noun
tain country. Not the least of the
attractions at Crater Lake is the
splendid fishing. Originally there
were no fish in the lake, and as only
one species of fish have been planted

casting from the vantage points

NO OPPOSITION.

IL now seems highly improbable
that Hon. Howard Sutherland, Of
Elkins, will have any opposition for
the Republican denomination for
congressman-at-largc. This is us IL
should be. Mr.. Sutherland, by every
rule and precedent. is entitled TO re-
nomination, and his excellent scrv.
ices AS u congressman give him a
further claim to denomination and
reelection. West Virginia has new
or had representative in congress
more alert in his attention to the
needs OF the state, nor one that has
Strivcn harder to accomplish things
In the interest OF his constituents.
Mr.. Sutherland is peculiarly repre-
sentative of his people, and no Sec
ton OF the state has been too re-
mote, no individual too obscure TO
receive attention ut his hands.
1t Is conceded that he will, in any
evct, receive the Republican nominal
ton, and 1t is believed that the
lProgressivcs will see the cxpcdiency
of making him their. nominee. or of
giving him. ut least, their indorse-
met. Mr.. Sutherland is progressive
In his views, and the members of the
Progressive party, who supported
him in 1912, will admit that he has
Justified the faith that prompted
their support of his candidacy at

natural thing to see him made the
nominee. Of both parties, and once
