CHAUTAUQUA
ENDS SUNDAY
SENTIMENT NOT IN FAVOR OF THE
ELLIs0N-WHITE SYSTEM FOR
THE COMING SEASON
WEST COAST HAVE CONTRACT
New Chautauqua System Secures
Number of GuarantOrs lis Claim

The Ellison-White Chautauqua Sys-
TEN closed it's weeks entertainment
on Sunday night in the big tent in the
east fiat and while the program this
year was about on par if not better,
than that of last summer barring the
fact that the first two programs were
repeat numbers here the sentiment
in favor of an Ellison-White chautau-
qua program next season was not
strong enough to secure guarantors
to a contract.
Probably the best number of the
weeks program was the Keighley New
York Players, who appeared Friday
night in "It Pays To ADVERTISE" and
the zedeler Symphony Quartette on
Thursday night and the program of
Saturday night, were equally pleasing.
1t is possible that the West Coast
Chautauqua company will come here
next season as Miss Mary l.. Walsh
was here this week in the interests OF
the company and secured a dozen or
more guarantors. The West Coast
concern claims to have a rival pro-
gram to the Ellison White company
and was very successful in various
towns of the northwest this year.
The apathy of local citizens towards
guaranteeing chautauqua for next
year is largely due to the fact that
for several years about the same peo-
pie have been backing the chautauqua
with their time and money and about
five or six people are compelled to do
all the work. This year the ticket
sale was over 100 short and as a con-
sequence the guarantors will have to
make good large deficit. The chau-
tauQua committee held a meeting last
night and it was found that $169. Al is
yet due the Ellison-White Chautauqua
System on their guarantee. Besides
this the local association are in the
hole on other expenses so that the
entire Indebtedness amounts to about
$3.50. The association received 25
percent of the single admissions and
this share amounted to s52.04 which
will reduce the total Indebtedness and
bring 1t down to a sum where about
$500 or $500 from each of the guar
antors will make good the deficit
The chautauqua committee plans to
prepare a statement of the expenses
and receipts of this seasons chau-
tauqua, which will be mailed to each
guarantor together with a request for
the guarantor's pro rata of the deficit.
The deficit is cared for under a bind
ing contract and there is nothing else
for the guarantors to do but "dig up"

the assembly elected the council men,
berships. The senator maintained
that with such an unfair advantage
England could control the council
through the assembly. 1--WE could as
well ask for membership within the
assembly of our states as Great Brit
ain could to have her integral parts
thus represented"
The speaker ended his address by
stating that he was glad that it had
been possible to delay the ratification
of the league until such a time as it
could be presented to the people and
receive from them its endorsement or
rejection; that he could not bring
himself to vote for it until the people
had had chance to thoroughly in
vestigate the dangers of the covenant
and its responsibilities He said that
the republican candidate for presi-
dent, Senator Harding, had declared
against the loss to this country of any
of its powers and privileges and that
to enter the league meant a departure
OF our powers, while Gov. Cox, the
democratic nominee for president had
accepted the league as brought home
by Wilson and thus the issue was be-
fore the suffrage of the country.
Friday morning Senator Borah re-
ceived a stenographic report of the
Spokane address given Thursday ev-
ening by Franklin Roosevelt the dem
ocrat nominee for vice president. 81
see that Mr.. Roosevelt is willing to
have amendments to article ten," said
Mr.. Borah, "if he amends article ten
so that our boys can't go to Europe
without a vote of congress he emas-
culates the power of enforcement of
the leagues DEGREES; if article ten
is not amended our boys go to fight
abroad without vote of congress.
Mr.. Roosevelt can take either horn of
his dilemma"
After the address many who had not
during the day seen him, pressed for
ward to greet the senator and thank
him for his speech. Many of those
who have thus far been misled into
favoring the covenant by the sub
sidized papers, politicians backed by
Wall street interests and propaganda
spread abroad through chautauqua
and other platforms, were given a
clear vision of why the league of ma
tions is wanted in Europe and why it
should be rejected in America.

Engineer Chaffins, who is in charge
of the construction work on the state
highway in Boundary county, from
Bonners Ferry to the county line, says
that two large crews are now at work
and that every effort will be made to
complete the project this fall One
of the road crew camps is at Moravia
and another at Macarthur. The
work is being done on the worst parts
Of the road.
The plan to hard-surface this road
was first taken up some three years
ago by the democratic board of county
commissioners but nothing was ac-
complished with the exception OF the
making of survey, this money being
wasted. The present board of coun-
ty commissioners have been at work
on this project since taking office and
this fall will have fine road to show
for their efforts.

KILL CATTLE BUT NOT MEN
ANIMALS DIE FROM EATING To-
BACCO LEAVES
Five Mich Cows on the Farm of Is
aac EllefsOn in Liberty Town, Two
We're Saved

1t is rather a reflection on the
"toughness" of the human race, es-
pecially the male gender, that with all
the terbakker chewin' and smokin' of
the age, no one has been reported to
have been poisoned by the excessive
use of the weed. But here comes the
putiful story that a poor fellow has
just lost five head of good mich cows
by eating tobacco leaves. It occurred
on the farm of Isaac Ellefson, in Lib
erty town, where a few days since
his herd of cows, after eating small
quantity, estimated at one Hath of
hanging weed, five of them sickened
and died from poisoning. Veterinar-
ian Minshall was hastily called, went
to the scene and saved two animals
out of the seven that ate of the weed.
The animals are reported to have been
seized soon after devouring the leaves.
We do not remember Of ever having
such a report brought to our atten-
ton, of animal poisoning by the eat
ing of tobacco. 1t should be a eau
ton to growers and owners Of animals
