The celebrated Snowman, w. l.
Swain, is in hearty accord with the
great English authority. Mr. Swain
says that he is in the amusement bus
mess not solely for the accumulation
of profits, but that it is his first aim
to disseminate enjoyment. He would
rather produce plays that call forth
hearty laughter than those that cause
tears and sadness Of heart.
The great Swain shows will be in
Harrison for a solid week COmmenc-
ing Monday, July 2, during which time
all will have an opportunity to test for
themselves the application of these
principles. A strong comedy element
abounds in every production offered

NJ. Bryant, treasurer and Victor Prim-
rose, general manager with offices
at the mines.
The new management began at
once to plan new Improvements,
among which are a new pipe line

water from a spring farther up the
mountain to the mines, and large

er to wash the ore as it comes from
the mine, this washer being con
structed with a rotary grizzley at the
discharge and separating the chunk
ore from the fine-the coarse going
to the bins and the smaller or fine
ores dropping to the jigs below the
washer. This machine has been or
dered together with the pipe and Ium.
Der for the tanks and ore bins, also
an order has been placed for the lum-
Der for some new dwellings, one Of
which Mr.. Primrose will occupy when
completed.
The camp has taken on new life
and a number of new leases have been
let in the past few days and great
things are expected in the near tu-
ture, especially the development Of
fine lead mines, besides there is still
quite an amount Of good ground still
open for lease and this is one Of the
best poor mans mining countries.
The Allied Mining Company has
agreed to buy all the output of the
subleases when they prefer to sell at
the mines. Most of this ore has been
coming to Harrison where the mer,
chants reaped the benefit Of the haul
ing and quite a large amount Of the
money derived from the mines was
spent in the city, but owing to the
condition of the roads leading from
Ponca to Harrison quite a number of
the operators have commenced to haul
their ores to Pettigrew and of course
this has taken the trade away from
Harrison, and should Harrison wish to
again obtain the trade they will have
to get busy and make some better
roads.

THE HARRISON cHAUTAuQUA.
Five Days Of Wholesome Entertain.
ment and Refinins Instruction
Were Enjoyed.

The Harrison Chautauqua, which
closed five day session on Wednes'
day last, was a distinct success in
every way. Large crowds were pres
ent at every one of the ten entertain
ments, and proved by their fine at.
tention and interest that they were
getting the benefits of the educational
as well as amusement features of the
program.
Four lectures we're included in the
course, everyone of them gem and
of incalculable value to those able to
appreciate their merits properly. Some
of the musical attractions were better
than others, but all were good, and
pleased the varied tastes of the audi
ence for orchestral, band and vocal
numbers.
The lecture of Ernest J. Powell, the
community expert, was an effort val
liable to the individual as we'll as the
community. Both as to the inspira-
ton of good, sound advice and the
awakening by fair criticism, the talk
was full of the very finest practical
material. And besides he made it so
attractive and interesting that the
most Indifferent were aroused. His
rapid fire delivery and vigorous elo-
quence pleased everyone and awak-
ened a spirit of enthusiasm on com
munity betterment which will have
its influence for good in years TO
come.
Hon. Alf Taylor, the old war horse
of the lecture field, was especially
strong in a presentation of war phil
W0phy which was both encouraging
and enlightening. He pleased the best
thinkers of the community immense
ly.
DR.. Adams, the professor of Psy-
Chology at the Minnesota University,
gave a lecture on applied psychology
which could not but benefit all who
heard it, and the lecture of DR.. Rob
ertson could not but interest every
student of the weak points socially
of our rural life.
So pleased were the people gener-
ally with the program that three hun
dred and twenty-five tickets were sub
scribed in order that another chau-
tauqua be secured for next year.
Messrs. L. B. Bell, Will Henry,
Claude Crumpler, f. X. Gibson, John
Lynn, John Sugg, Richard CrOwdus,
r. l.. Jackson, J. L. Russell and J. R.
Newman are the committee who have
put themselves in the breech for the
coming year as guaranteeing the mat
ter.
Financially, the committee for this
year will just about be able to pay
expenses, but they hope for bigger
and better results every way next
year.

RESOLUTIONS ON
DEATH OF LATE
GENERAL COMMON

At a meeting of the trustees OF
Lithgow library held yesterday the
following resolutions were adopted
upon the death of Gen. Conner. a
member OF the board Of trustees from
the organization of the board to his
decease:
General Selden Conner. an honoreo
member of this board Of trustees,
passed away on July 9, 1911. and. We,
his associates, desire to place on rec
ord this tribute Of respect:
General Conner was man OF wide
experience and thorough culture. He
loved life and he loved books. He was
a devoted reader Of the best in liter
allure and his judgment OF book values
was dependa BILE. He was therefore pc
culiarly fitted to serve as a trustee OF
this Public library and for many years
he had rendered faithful and efficient
service. AS member of the commit
tee on the purchase of books his coun-
sci was of especial value. Added to
this was a charming personality and
a genius for companionship that bound
him closely to those who had the
pleasure Of working with him His loss
is deeply felt and his memory will be
tenderly and proudly cherished.

.1ST MAINE OFFICERS TO
BUILD PERMANENT CAMP
Winter Barracks Along Lines of Maine Lumber
Camps to Be Established at Westfeld - COL
Hume in Charge in Absence of Brig. Gen.
Cole-Maine Gossip of the Camp.

In its regular staff correspondence
from Camp Bartlett, Westfield, the
Springfield Union publishes the fol-
lowing of Maine interest:
1t is known that thousands of the
draft army will be taken to complete
the complement of the five regiments
assigned to the Depot Brigade. These
are the First New Hampshire, First
Vermont, Sixth and Eighth Massachu-
sets Infantry commands and the First
Maine Heavy Artillery. Col. Ballen-
tine of the Maine Heavies received
personal assurance on his recent visit
to Boston, that his regiment would be
recruited to its full strength of 1900
men rapidly, and this same assurance
has been conveyed to the other reg
mental commanders of the Depot Rrl-
gade at Camp Bartlett. 1t is expected
the entire force of the reserve rcEi-
ments will be assembled at Westfield
soon after Oct. ].
Prospects of a permanent camp at
Westfield for the winter are increas-
ing, although definite announcement
TO this effect has not been made by
the camp officials. Col. Ballentine has
been asked by Brig. Gen. +. Leroy
Sweetser, commander of the depot h.i-
gade. TO submit plans for a canton
n ent camp on Hampton Plains drawn
along the lines Of those of a Maine
lumber camp. Four officers of the
Maine artillery who have had eXpe-
rience in the Maine woods in lumber
ing operations have been assigned 10y
Col Ballentine to draw up these plans.
They are working on them today.
1t is proposed, instead of the long
battalion buildings which have been
built at Aver to erect buildings which
will house a platoon of a company or
a section of a battery. These will be
square instead of oblong, thus insur-
ing an even heating in all parts of the
structure. Instead of steam il is pro-
posed to heat the barracks, which will
be small with the large round stoves
so common in the railroad stations of
an earlier day and which are used in
lumber camps, insuring an even radia =
ton of heat throughout. With the
men Of the section or platoon together
il is believed by those who have con-
si6ered the idea that excellent results
might be accomplished.
