CHAUTAUQUA
NOW WITH US
OPENS WITH GOOD PROGRAM PRE-.
SCENTED TO LARGE AUDIENCE
LAST EVENING
THE GUARANTEE IS FULLY met
Local Committee Highly Praised for
Efficient Work Done

Boomers Ferry's chautauqua opened
on schedule yesterday afternoon, Miss
Marian Johnson, director, but owing
to the fact that the Merrilee Enter
tanners and DR.. William RAIDER, lee
turer, missed train connections in
Spokane yesterday morning, the reg
ular program had to be omitted, Miss
johnson and Miss O'Callaghan enter
tanning for some time until it was as
sured that the chautauqua entertainers
could not get here in time for an af-
ternoon program. Because of the
omission of the afternoon program
Miss Johnson arranged for the Merri-
lee Entertainers to give a double en-
tertainment in the evening and all
season tickets permitted the entrance
OF two persons for the program.
The program of last night made
hit with the audience and everyone
left well pleased with the entertain
ment afforded by the Merrilee Enter
tainers and the lecture of DR.. RAIDER.
The big chautauqua tent proved to
be quite comfortable and during the
forepart of the evening the mosquitoes
did not bother. The management of
the chautauqua will keep smudges
burning throughout each program
from today on and so there will be
little discomfort to fear from the mos
quitoes.
The chautauqua tent is most cen
trally located the entrance being be-
tween the Casey hotel and the Kinnear
building occupied by the Interstate
Utilities Co. Through the work of
William Warwick the entrance has
been well decorated.
The junior chautauQua opened this
morning with Miss Jeanette Barnes
in charge and quite a crowd of little
folks were on hand to take part in an
hour or two of play and instruction.
On Wednesday afternoon Miss Barnes
will meet the mothers and all persons
interested in playground work and
give a talk on this feature of the jun
ior chautauqua.
The ticket committee went over the
top Sunday when at final checking
it was found that more than the 440
adult season tickets guaranteed, had
been sold. Further sale was immed-
lately stopped The ticket committee
this year made a remarkable record
and Miss Johnson, director, states that
but few places of the size of Boomers
Ferry are fortunate enough to have
a committee with the energy and abil-
ity of the one in charge here this year
]. A. Jacoby was chairman of the COM
mittee and he selected his assistants
Mrs. f. A. Shultis, f. e. Murray, F. A.
Davis, each of these being in charge
of districts and appointing sub-com-
mittees.
III to Notvft, n
chautauqua association officers many
| fine compliments on the manner in
which they have organized and carried
out plans for the chautauqua. They
are deserving of praise and credit fol-
the success of the chautauqua foi

, early and late for some time to pro.
vide for this weeks entertainment.
