CONSIDER ONE PROGRAM PLAN
May Cut Out Afternoon Chautauqua
Programs Next Year

On Wednesday of last week mem
bers of the Boomers eFrry chautau
qua association met at the Interna-
tional hotel banquet hall with Guy
Young, representative of the Ellison
White Chautauqua System and dis
cussed the ACCESSIBILITY of dispensing
with the regular afternoon programs
and putting on a longer program in
the evening.
A. A. Mcintyre stated that while in
Portland recently he went to the head
offices of the chautauqua system and
that the plan was preached to him
there, the chautauqua people favoring
it because it saves them an open date.
They agreed that Bonners Ferry could
take its pick of the afternoon and the
evening programs, that the evening
musical program would be heightened
and that a proportionate decrease in
the 1920 guarantee would be made,
Under the proposed plan the cost of
the season tickets would be consider
ably less too. At the time of the
meeting the chautauqua people had not
been able to give definite figures on
the contract they would make for ev-
ening entertainments only. Local
guarantors of the 1920 chautauqua al
favored the one entertainment day
plan providing the chautauqua peo
pie were willing to make proportion
ate decrease in cost.

PLANNING ROAD
IMPROVEMENTS

]. e. Ryan, of Standpoint, deputy
supervisor of the Pend d Oreille Nat
ional Forest Reserve, was in town on
Thursday in conference with the coun-
ty commissioners, making up a bud
get of what would probably be spent
in this county within the national for
est reserve, for road work. The gov
eminent co-operates with the county
in this road building and on parts of
the work will appropriate half of the
cost.
This year the county commissioners
and the forest reserve plan to spend
a large sum of money in the improve
ment of the Meadow Creek Eastport
road. The Improvement will consist
of graveling with screened gravel
which will be laid on quite thick in
order to completely cover the large
rocks in the present roadbed. The
county commissioners say that the
Meadow Creek Eastport road is an i'm
portant one of the county and they in
tend, this summer, to improve it in {
permanent manner.
| Mr.. Ryan stated that his department
was very favorable, also, to the con
struction of a road to Porthill on thu
west side of the Kootenai river ant
that while this road would be expen
sive, he had recommended an approp
ration and felt that the same woul,
be allowed. In the construction o
this road the county would have yer
material assistance from the govern
ment and at the same time would Civ
settlers a much-needed road an
this road would make it an inducemen
for new settlers to take up farms o
the west side of the river.
