Kamiah Believes In Lyceum.

After noting The Herald $
statement relative to a deficiency
in, funds for our present lyceum
course and the uncertainty of our
getting a course for next winter.
the Kamiah Progress said:
We're good sports here in
Kamiah, however, and in the face
of deficit fifteen business men
signed up last week for another
course for next winter and at Il
considerable advance in cost over
this years contract. Without
doubt, all who signed the con
tract did so while realizing they
would likely have to make up a
deficit, but they are willing to
pay little extra to insure a ser
les of first class entertainments
for. Kamiah. That's the real
"Chautauqua spirit" and any
town that gets it in good measure
is taking a step towards being a.
really progressive town.
(Since the Herald's statement
was made, Nezperce has also en-
tered into a contract for four
number lyceum course for next
season.
