Once again let word of warning
be given against writing the sort of
letters to soldiers that will induce
them to come home against the or
ders of their superior officers. They
may pay very dearly for the few
short hours at home. During the last
ten days a number of privates have
suffered court martial for desertion
and absence without leave, the pen
alties ranging from confinement at
hard labor for six months and Tor
fixture of two-thirds of the pay, to
ten years at hard labor and dis
honorable discharge with forfeiture
of all pay at the end of the term.

Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1918-06-15

Western Chautauqua people travelled
over 3, 500,000 miles in 1917 entertaining
audiences of the Pacific Coast. Yet it
is only few years ago that it was con-
sidered an impossibility to conduct
Chautauquas in the far West because
Of the scarcity Of population, long dis
tances between towns of large size and
the excessive cost of transportation.
Six years ago not over half dozen
Chautauquas were being conducted on
the Coast, and these were small indie
pendent assemblies which were far from
successful.
In 1918 the Ellison-White Chautauqua
System of Portland, Oregon, started a
circuit Of forty-two towns, opening in
California and closing in Montana.
Although appearing small circuit now,
it seemed hopelessly big undertaking
at that time. Every one predicted
failure. Probably not one person in a
hundred in the West knew even the
meaning Of the word Chautauqua.
Railroad jumps were long, costs were
excessive, but the enthusiasm Of the
Coast cities once awakened made up in
way for all these things.
The following year seventy-two towns
were having Chautauquas, and, while
neither year was successful from
financial standpoint, yet they were

The success in Canada prompted the
Ellison-White Bureau to investigate the
Australian field. News of the movement
in the Dominion was already abroad and
the Australians were found eager Co
know more about the American institu-
ton. 1t is interesting to note here that
all the papers, including the Sydney Sun,
could not get nearer to the correct SPELL
ing of the word than "Chatauqua.
The journey across the equator into
John Bulls land in the Antipodes takes
twenty-one days by the best boats now in
the Pacific Service. The distance is
ii 600 miles, with stops only at Honolulu
and Pango Pango in the Samoan Islands.
Sydney, home Of the Australian Chau-
tauqua Offices, is a modern city of three
quarters OF million. Centers Of popula-
ton lie in the coast regions. The climate is
equable and resembles Southern Califor-
mia in the Sydney-Melbourne district.
This expansion means much to West
ern Chautauqua committees. Adding
Canada and Australia to our territory
has made the Ellison-White Chautauoua
System the largest in the country, not
only in size of territory but in the num-
Der OF communities served. 1t means
year-round employment Of workers and
talent, summer in the States and the
winter either abroad or in Festival work
on this continent. Contracting our
talent by the year means lower prices
10 us and bigger programs to you.
