Dr. Miles Is an unusual personality. He has been In "Who's Who In Amer

a great deal of the reform legislation which Is on the Statute books of New
York state today.
Over five thousand audiences have heard Dr. Miles

Orofino Contract

;
THIS TERR'S CUTIUOUt IGOOO ONE
Greatest Artists in the History of the Chautauqua to
Perform Here This Season
is The ablest set of performers that
Orofino has ever had will appear
at this year's Chautauqua. This Is
and,not ihe fanciful idea of a dreamer,
*>ut is the statement of no less an
! authority than Mrs. Ray Andrews,
formerly Miss Hula Anderson ot
Orofino, who is visiting her mother,
Her husband is the man who hires
and fires every man who appears in
tb '- circuit. He ought to know
'.hat he is doing, and his wife' In
j common with all modern wives,
I ought to know as much as her hus
j hand. Mrs. Andrews has made the
in-'r unis of the western circuit a num
her of times with her husband.
Her own experience enables her to
pas judgement on the quality of
talent that appears on the public
olatform
Mm Andrews declares that there
,s absolutely no question about the
superiority of the talent that Is ap
pearing thin season. The Ellison
White corporation, like every one
wbo launc hes out on a new career,

' rece,vred h1 » training on the piano
from Rachmanloff, the greatest pi
anolst of the prsent day. Those
who have heard this wonderful mu
stcan on the phonograph will recall
with what exceptional charm he In
terprets and renders hts music.
This Is clearly a case of "like sire
like son".
Another great acquisition Is con
gressman Rainy of Illinois, the sil
ver tongued orator of the United
States congress. This gifted states
man ranks second only to William
Jennings Bryan as an orator. He
1 b drawing great crowds wherever
he appears on the platform. He does
not speak In a professional way. but
is making the circuit because he has
a message which he regards as being
of vital importance to the people of
this nation. He Is destined to draw
a capacity house in Orofino.
Another leading light on this
year's program Is Dean Persho, who
appears the second afternoon to lec
ture on "The Problems of Today"
He is one of the leading educators
of the United States. He is held In
such high regard by the United
States government that he was sent
to France to direct the educational
work that was carried on among the
American troops. The dean has
traveled extensively in Europe and,
America, and Is therefore an author
Uy on the subject on hand.
Winifred Wlndus 1 h a reader of
such ability that one forgets the
performer and thinks only of the!
character» which she impersonates,
The above performers are referred
to at random. They are not the,
exception, but constitute only a fair
sample of what Is in store for the
people of this region. A word to,
the wise Is sufficient.

It will Interest the readers of th
Republican to know that something
new has happened under the
sun,
wise old Solomon notwithstanding.
The Ellison-White Chautauqua
iatlon has changed its business pol
icy from a profit-making basis to
basis.
other words, it has changed from a
corporation to a co-operation
The finnanclal purpose Is
to give the small communities the
same class of performances that
given in larger places,
vious plan was to give each locality
a program according to the abilty
of that community to
season all will be treated alike
far ar the performances are
ed. The surplus of the larger places
vi ill be applied toward the deficit
curing from smaller communitis. The
men who now head the association
are working on
which puts them all
footing.
This change In policy has been
of made because of the high ideals of
the founders of the Ellison-White
Chautauqua.
K,ated in ,he words of Mr. J. R.
Ellison himself, who has written a
personal letter to Rev. J. A. Hoff

This is what Mr. Ellison says In
regard to the new policy.
"When you entered the ministry,
you doubtless gave little thought to
the matter of remuneration or else
you would have probably sleeted an
other vocation. Some months ago,
Mr. White and I changed the basis
of the Ellison-White Chautauqua
and Lyceum business to that of

To our surprise, it
is a little difficult to explain why
this has been done. People can
readily understand why a minister
should be willing to forego large

his ideals,

Apparently they do not

The Orofino Improvement
Club Responsible For The
Good Work
The Orofino Improvement Club Is
an improvement organization in
fact as well as In name. The club
members is composed of ladles, but
they exercise the mental alertness of
enlisting Ihelr husbands In all kinds
of civic Improvement work. This
fact was demonstrated again Thurs
day May 26. When upwards of
,twenty brought picks, shovels and
rakes to the school ground and
hauled away loose rocks. Several
wheelbarrows rendered good service
in the hauling of black soil to the
grandstand and other convenient
places where the ladles considered it
wise to plant creeping vines for
adornment. The ladles have pur

school grounds. These have been
