CHAUTAUQUA MAY BE CIV E N H ERE IN SHORT TIME
Considerable Advance in Dates Indicated by Ad-
 vance at Ketchikan.

An advance of several days in the local Chautauqua program is be lieved by members of the local com mittee to be probable. as information has been received here that the Kd' chikan program will be put on late this month and concluded be- fore September 1 A telegram re- son said that Miss Henry. advance agent for the Chautauqua booking company. had arrived there to make preparations for the program.
 No word has been received by the local committee regarding a definite change in the dates. A letter re- ceived from the company several days ago said that it would endeavor 70 revise its schedule as requested by the local committee in order to prevent a conflict with the South eastern Alaska Country Fair, which is billed here for September 2S-29. The original schedule of the Juneau Chautaunua was September 25-29.
 Miss Henry it is believed, will be here within short time and make some definite announcement relative 10 the proposed change of schedule Wrangell is the only other town. be sides Ketchikan and Juneau, known here to have contracted for this years Chautauqua. For this reason the fact that the program in ketchi
 kan will be concluded before Sep tember 1 is believed to indicate that the local program will be put on
 early in September. possibly about . the second week in the month.

COLLECTION OF
 LOCAL FLORIST
 BEST AS KNOWN
l. P. Anderson Has Most Complete Collection Alaska
 Fungi, Says Stevens.

The heIbarium oI J. P Anderson, of the Juneau Florists, is the most surprising revelation of his two weeks visit to Alaska. is the state ment made by Neil F.. Stevens. plant patholOgist. with the Bureau of Plant Industry. Mir. Stevens has been to Haines, Skagway and Sitka. collect- ing fungi on fruits and studying the diseases of the strawberry and high bush cranberry He left Juneau this morning on the Princess Louise for the South. en route to Washington
 "I have seen so many new and in teresting things during my two weeks visit in Southeastern Alaska that it is hard 10 designate any one IS especially interesting" said MT. Stevens. 50 far as our work is concerned. however. the most sur p:!sing thing I have seen is the hertarium of J. P. Anderson, of the Juneau Florists. here. MT Anderson has what is certainly the most com plete collection of Alaska fungi in existance.
 Praises Strawberry
 "The strawberry is our one really national fruit since it is the only fruit that is grown in every state of the Union and it's successful cul- .ivation in Alaska makes it more than ever a national fruit l have eaten strawberries from Connecticut T.. Vol; but I have never tasted so palatable berry as those served me in Al aska. especially at Haines.
 "rhe same diseases of the straw bcrrv prevail here as in the sections of the States where I have worked, although in general not so many dis eases occur here as further south.
 Mistake Cranberry
 q find that when the peO1le in this district speak of the cranberry they usually mean the so-called high hush cranberry, which is so general ly used here, as it is in Maine. my home state, for making jelly. This plant is not a true cranberry at all, but a Viburnum.
 "There are however. in Alaska two kinds of low cranberries. closely re- lated to the cultivated form. Both these are abundant in the swamps lbout Sitka. I spent much of last week there collecting the fungi which cause disease of these low cranber- ries. It seems remarkable to me to find the same diseases occurring here that are found, for example. on cranberries growing in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
 "The small fruits, especially the strawberries. grown at the expert mental station at Sitka, form an in teresting collection. They are well worth much more study than l had time to give them in one week The station is surely a profitable place in which to work.
 While I should very much like to return next summer, I doubt that 1t will be possible. l shall do my best, however, to see that one of my colleagues in the study of fruit dis eases makes a visit to the Sitka sta tion. I hone my immediate superior. Dr. C. L. Shea, will make the trip"
