The Community Chautauqua To Be
Held August 1O-14-Daily Notes.


Held August 1O-14-Daily Notes.
Cd. NJ. Mcwain Correspondent
In order that you may avoid con-
fiicting engagements we take this OPP
portunity to inform you that the Com
munity Chautauqua will be in Orleans
August 1914 inclusive.
Prof. f. B. jerks of the University
Of Vermont was in town yesterday and
gave a short talk to the High school.
Let's all pull together to get Or
leans on the map and then to keep it
there. Report any locals or personals
to us as soon as you hear of them,
thus doing your share. Well try to
do our part, but we can do a bigger
part if we have more help.
Beginning Saturday, May 6, the
Central Savings Bank and Trust Co.,

Barton Academy sent her ball team
to Orleans Wednesday to play their
old rivals, the High school. Barton
was in the lead just one-half an in
ming, that being the first one. Alb
bolt, the Barton pitcher, allowed sew
en- runs in the first inning by his wild
ness. Comstock was sent in in the
fourth frame, but his support was so
poor that we lost count of the scores.
Orleans infield might have displayed
better class of ball, and will have
to if it expects to win today's game.
There was just about one brilliant
play, a double; Stearns to French on
a pop fly. The scorer said that Or
leans annexed 81 ta1lies, and Barton
slipped over three, so some idea may
be obtained of the comparative
strength of the two teams. A good
bunch of rooters were out from both
villages and the local team will try
to show their appreciation of such
support by giving a good game today.

this section of the law repealed or set aside In some manner, on the ground that 1t is ridiculous and would make perjurers out of all applicants. He contends that 1t Is impossible for the natives to make positive assertion, on oath, that the land does not contain mineral resources of value.
 There is a possibility that much of the land may contain vast stores of depths, which could be determined only after expensive prospecting. For any one, white man or Indian. to swear positively at this time that the land does not contain these deposits would be an absurdity, In the opinions of some of the local federal officials and the missionary
 Law Very Vague.
 The law covering the granting of allotments to natives Is somewhat vague in many respects. One of the requirements is that the Indian shall sever all tribal relations. What the law makers meant by this section is somewhat puzzling to some of the federal officials and to attorneys who have investigated the matter. There are number of other sections and requirements which are equally vague and which puzzle those interested in the matter
