Dy experience for all of them. There
are no catch-penny devices or side
shows to the Chautauqua In the one
tent where the entertainments are
there will be great musicians and lee
turers and funmakers to occupy the
platform from day to day, according
to the plans already published.
There will be ample Accommodations
for all comers, with hospitable pri-
yate homes thrown open for guests
who cannot find rooms at the public
houses. 1t is the intention that all
people who like to see and hear
things that are worth while in the
world shall not be barred for lack
Of place to stay while here to see
and hear these things. 1t is the in
tentiOn of some people attending to
bring along tents for their own sieep-

have made ample arrangements as to
supplies for the crowds expected

The large grounds of former May

erOusly given over for the uses of
the Salmon Chautauqua The local
management had two other sites in
view, one on Island park and the 9th
er on one of the Andrews lots oppo-
site Andrews street. This was offer
ed by n. |. Andrews, while the, city
owns and would as cheerfully give
the use Of the Island. Mayor Peter
sons grounds are far and away the
best to be- had. Entrance will be
made by the removal Of a panel of
fencing opposite the postoffice Pa
irons Of the entertainments to be
provided will step from the pave
ment to the tent without encounter
ing the least dust. Mr.. Peterson on
ly few days ago cut down luxur-
liant growth of grass and a new
growth has carpeted the place in liv-
ing green again. Neither will there
be any mud if the belated rains
should come at last.

y better public spirit shown in any
Town. The ChautauQua institution is
regarded as something worth while
