submitted and was readily signed
by a liberal number of guarantors
composed of local business men
and farmers. The Chautauqua is

the making of the usual contract
is considered a mere formality.

GOOD BALL GAMES HERE
CHAUTAUQUA WEEK
Nezperce Scores Three Victories
and One Defeat Good
Crowds Enjoy All
the Contests.

The ball games of Chautauqua
week furnished good amusement
for the most rabid fans. The Nez-
perce team held its own with ev-
cry team the Prairie and Clear
water valley could muster up, al
though the local players felt the
strain Of the many games in sue
cession; still they showed clearly
that in spite Of drawbacks they
are good enough to win six games
out of seven in a period Of eight
days.
The pitching staff held up fine,
the batters delivered the goods,
but the fielding became notice
ably ragged during the latter
games. This was due partly, of
course, to going stale from too
much playing.

On Sunday the largest crowd of
the year assembled for the Lap
