Splendid Program for
ChautauQua

Oakley is to have this season
one of the best Chautauqua Fes-
tivals ever conducted in the state
Of Idaho. The program lasts for
Ave days, October 6 to 10, inclu-
sive. Each entertainment will
be held in the Howells Opera
House. 1t is thought that the
crowds will be record breaking,
filing every seat in the house.
Five sure-fire,, attractions
come to us during Festival week.
Every one has been tested and
proven, and every one measures
up to the high quality standards
always maintained by Ellison
White.
Tom Corwine, the great poly
phonist, comes on the opening
night with one of the funniest
entertainments on the platform.
He will have us convulsed from
the beginning to the end of the
evening.
On the second night is Mar
shall Louis Mertins, the brilliant
young writer and poet of the
South. Into his lecture-enter-
tainment he weaves much Of his
delightful verse and many Of his
inimitable southern stories.
On the third night comes big
music and entertainment in the
Chicago Artists Company includ-
ing Margery Helen Graham, ta-
Tented dramatic reader, Lowell
Patton, brilliant pianist and sing
er and Frances Soule, the we'll
known harpist.
On the fourth night we have
Major Thornton A. Mills, one OF
the big figures on the American
platform in his great inspirations
al lecture, 'Fiddles and For
tunes".
The closing night will be a big
evening because it presents the
Sierra Serenaders, five talented
girls who sing, play and enter
tain well. There is a world of
life and snap and real music in
their big program.

The Future Of Oakley

What's become of the Com
mercial Club? So far as the
writer knows, there has been no
meeting Of the organization for
several months. Nor have there
been any measures taken by the
community as a whole to prepare
for the development which is to
follow the opening of silver
mines suNathe drilling of oil
wells. sss

oakleyS fatprs} Thers are ~
things ttan'I to the old town.
We are sureof that.
BUT
No matter what comes our
way, it won't amount to a great
deal for us unless we are pre-
pared to use it to advantage.
Unless a town is organized for
success, it will let eighty per
cent Of its opportunities pass
by unused. If we continue to
work on the principle, Each
man for himself, and let the
devil take the hinomost, then,
the biggest kind of oil boom may
come our way without giving us
a fourth of the permanent
growth which should belong to
us.
1t is said that Burley has Of
fered the oil company a free site
for an oil refinery. The Herald
does not believe that Burley will
ever get the refinery. But why
hasn't Oakley offered site to
the ccmpany?x
Oakley should organize for
success. The organization should
include representatives from the
outlying districts, such as Island,
Marion, Churchill, Golden Valley,
Basin, Boulder and Moulton.
Public spirited individuals from
these settlements, men such as
the promoters of the Marion
Pipe Line, will help make Oak
ley Valley fit 10 do her part in
the front line trenches of busi-
ness.

The Trout Mercantile Company
has installed a large gasoline
tank at their store. Mr.. Rose,
the manager, says the smaller
one that he has been using could
not supply the demand for gaso-
line.
Harvesting is nearing and
there are some fairly good crops
of potatoes and beets in this Sec
ton. A few nippy frosts have
bitten the potato vines and RI
pening has started in full sway.
The farmers are expecting good
price for their potatoes this year.
The Marion Pipe Line has com
pleted the laying of the wood
pipe line down as far as Dwain
Cranney's ranch. The cement
line will be completed about Oc-
tober 7. The work yet to be done
is a few side lines, installation of
the service taps, meters, ETC.,
and then the line is ready for
service. This will be welcomed
by all the stockholders. Much
credit, is to be given the men
who have under difficulties never
tired in their efforts to put the
system through.
Last Tuesday morning, George
DuVall suffered a loss of $500
from fire. He was preparing to
finish roofing his new honey ex-
tracing house, having lighted an
oil store which was in the house
to melt glue for the roofing. An
explosion followed which burned
the house, about forty gallons of
honey, extracting outfit and other
materials. For a while it seemed
that the Trout Store was endan-
gered, but the fire soon did it's
work and no further damage oc-
Cured. Last year about this
time, Mr.. DuVall suffered loss
of three stacks of wheat by fire.

Public School Notes.

The Teachers Joint Institute
will be held at Twin Falls the
week beginning October 13.
1t is requested that parents who
are usually under necessity of
having the assistance of their
children for beet and potato dig
glng will arrange to do it during
Institute week, SO that our
school work will be interfered
with as little as possible.
Our enrolment is $50, larger
number, for our beginning, than
in previous years. With the
very competent corps of teachers
that we have, the outlook is very
favorable for a banner school
year.

THEETA7F7E TIE
N eeho oil the theater MANAGERS

A N echo of the tileater managers
~ fight against the increased tax
~ on theater admissions is found
in this note from New York:
William A. Brady has placed in a
prominent position over the box Of
fees of his two theaters, the Play
house and the Forty-eighth Street,
signs reading: This theater sells its
tickets at regular box office prices.
The new law just enacted prohibits
ticket brokers from charging over so
cents advance on any ticket. Those
overcharging are subject to arrest
and imprisonment. The manage
ment of this theater will thank you
il you will report any violation of
the law Mr.. Brady was one Of the
managers who heartily supported
and worked for the passage OF the
Williams-Kilroe ordinance, which
has just been enacted into law, and
is designed to curb all speculation
in theater tickets"
1t would be interesting to know
how many seats below the 18th row
can be bought at any given time at
one of Mr.. Brady's houses.
A complete change of program
greets Empress patrons today with
two feature acts headlining. "Ex-
trayagance is heralded as a gem
of dramatic comedy both in con-
struction and presentation. The cast
includes Phyllis Gilmore, Victor
Browne and Ferdinand Tidmarsh.
The May Bell Trio, three pretty
young women, have a singing, violin
and piano offering. Nadell and
Toilette introduce songs and talk of
a light comedy nature. Van and
Belle complete the program with an
exhibition of boomerang throwing.
"Who wants to hear that high
brow stuff" Vaudeville patrons are
likely to ask such question, when
they hear grand opera selections;
but popular taste as we'll as the taste
OF exacting music-lovers is pleased
this week by the singing of the dis
tinguished vocalists, Agnes Berri
and Irene JONAH, who are offering
one of the stellar acts this week at
the Orpheum. Another lofty plane
of artistic merit is achieved by the
winsome coincidence, Grace Dunbar
Nile who is appearing in the leading
role Of the one-act comedy, Petit
coats" .
The double and daily perform
ances of "The Unmarried Mother" at
the Boyd are proving very popular
this week, the really interesting play
being shown at moderate prices to
steadily increasing attendance. 1t is
a melodrama that frankly discusses
a topic of great Importance.
While the interest of delegates to
the State Hardware Dealers con-
vention is naturally focused on the
absorbing display at the Auditorium
every morning and afternoon,
there's no denial of the fact that
their evening sessions are held at
the Gayety theater where Dan Cole
man and the Harry Hastings show
are playing to all the folks the
theater will hold twice daily. Mr..
Coleman's timely song, after the
First of July" continues to sweep
all before it, positively stopping the
show at every performance. Ladies
