EXPECT Big CROWD
AT CHAUTAUQUA
For Many People the Big Tent
Will Substitute for Fourth of
July Celebration

With the arrival here this week Of
M. S. Taylor, director, plans for op-
ening the big Ellison White Chau-
tauqua next Sunday, began to take
more definite form. The superinten-
dent found that the local committee
had the preliminaries well in hand and
he is confident that every detail will
have been taken care of before the op-
|ening hour.
While the season tickets have been
on sale for several days no selling cam
paign has been conducted. A meet
ing Of the general committee has been
called for Friday evening at which
time the ticket sales will be checked
up and it may be necessary to put
solicitors at work Saturday to bring
the sales up to the guarantee. Mr..
Taylor calls attention to the fact that
at noon Sunday the price of the sea-
son tickets will be advanced from $3.50
to $500. BE points out the substan-
tial saving which the purchase Of a
season ticket offers. Single admis-
sions to all attractions amount to $7.0S
while season ticket to all attractions
costs only $3.50 if bought before noon
Sunday.
Mr.. Taylor is emphatic in his praise
of this years program and says that
every attraction has been making q
big hit in all towns visited this sea-
son and record-breaking crowds have
been the rule all along the circuit.
The play ground feature is proving a
winner among the kiddies and enroll
ment in the junior Chautauqua has
surpassed all records.
Members of the local committee ex-
press the opinion that Kennewick will
prove no exception to the rule in the
point of attendance. It is not a par
ticularly busy season on the farms,
the weather promises to be ideal and
inasmuch as there will be no Fourth
of July celebration in Kennewick this
year the people ar naturally looking
forward to the Chautauqua as a
means of providing pre-harvest re-
creation and amusement.
The big tent as usual will be pitched
on the lots west of Hotel Kennewick.
The schedule to be followed each
day is, Children's hour 10 a. m, at
ternoon concert 2:30, afternoon lee
ture 800, evening concert 7:3O, eve
ming lecture, 500.

Work more
Produce more
SQUe more

But we cant continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms. mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
Of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-.
gines. more cars. more tracks more ter
minals-there can be little increase in
production. :~@ -.
But this country Of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow Of new capital to expand railroad
facilities so increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow. -a
