enthusiasm and eloquent in descrip-
tion of the Farmers Day celebration
held at Cambridge May 9th. He
estimates in the neighborhood OF
1000 people present, composed Of

terest readers of the Enterprise in
connection with the account of the

know that a similar event will be
pulled off at Payette sometime dur

and others, who delivered addresses

drop the suggestion, at this early

should begin looking ahead to the
coming of the big event in August
and that everything possible should
De done to assure the farming COM
munities far and wide that we are
gong to be waiting and ready to

PROGRAM MAKING.
A BIG HIT
Ohautauqua Program Now Running
in CaIifornia-Twenty Thcus3nd
People Have Already Visited Ch2u-
tauqua.

/ For more than three months the
managers of the Ellison-White Ch3u-
tauqua System have been telling The
local committee men about the wond
erful Chautauqua program that is TO
be given at Payette Chautauqua, but
regardless of the many nice things
that have been said about the attract
ions that are to come to Chautauqua
the local committee men have been
waiting for the first Chautauqua to
open in California and to hear CT
the first reports, and the local c2m-
mittee men were made happy when
they heard about the way things
were going down in California.
Stockton, California opened lis
first Chautauqua on the 18th OF
May. The newspapers couldn t even
spell the word, to say nothing OF
knowing what it meant, but alter
the first three sessions the neWs-
papers and the pople generally te-
gan to wake up. All three city dai-
lies of Stockton came out with half
page reports of the proceedings and
pronounced them absolutely the best
entertainments that had ever besn
brought to Stockton. The merchants
were SO delighted with Nels Darling
in his wonderful lecture on "Olr
Town" that they gave a banquet at
which four hundred representative
of Stockton Were in 1t
tendance. These same merchants
have offered him very large sum
of money to come back and spend
four days in their city next winter.
And the Band made a big2er hit
than ever. The people just went
wild over it. The newspapers report
ed that when Signor lara sang
his part of the duet in the Miserere
from II Trovatore the people stocd
up and cheered and waved their
madly in the air. 1t
was a remarkable event. The Chau-
Lauqua has come and gone at Stock
ton but everyone is talking about 1t.
They are to have a Chautauqua next
year and seven hundred men and
of Stockton have pledged to
make it the greatest ChautauGua
IN all California.
Down at Merced, the entrance to
Yosemite National Park, the local
committee signed contract for the
Chautauqua before the end of the
.hird days session. Joseph E. Hill,
Secretary of the Commercial Club
here said that the program thus
'ar had been the most successful
md entertaining of any that he had
sver seen in all his publicity exper-
ence.
Selma, little city Of two thou
sand people turned out an audience
If almost three thousand peeopls to
hear Ciricillos' Italian Band. This
S Selma's first Chatauqua.
And so it goes all through the
cities. 1t is no wonder
hen that local committee men are
,lated. These reports have vindicated
heir Judgment of the attractions
o come to the Chautauqua Now
hat the local committee men know
hat every attraction will make good,
everyone is working hard to make
he ChautauQua a great success.

made by a number of the Payette
boosters and were happily responded
to by the mayor of New Plymouth
and Judge Monroe Smock, the in
promptu program being literally in
terspersed with band and quartet
selections.
1t was an old-fashioned get-to-
gether meeting to remind US Of
the fat days when every citizen was
booster and every booster a citi-
zen of whom any communi might
be proud-when every man, woman
and child was ready to stand up and
fight for the contention that Idaho
was the best State in the Unicn and
Canyon the best county in the State
and Payette Valley the garden-spot
of the county.
Arriving at Fruftland on the return
trip late in the afternoon, an in
formal meeting was held with the
citizens of that thriving town at tie
ball park near the public school
building, where in addition to the
Payette Chautauqua boosters, many
of the people of the community had
assembled to witness a baseball
game. Short speeches were made by
some of the visitors, which were
