WON’T GUARANTEE CHAUTAUQUA

Spokane people are declining to guarantee next year’s Chautauqua unless they know exactly what talent is to be booked.

They also want to know what is to become of the gate money if the guarantee tickets are all sold and think that a full guarantee plus all the gate money is rather too much to pay, especially when no guarantee of talent is given by the Chautauqua circuit.

SIGNS ON POLES ARE DANGEROUS

A number of zealous workers for candidates are too enthusiastic, and are disobeying a city ordinance when they tack campaign signs on the light and power poles in the city. G.N. Rooker, Northern Idaho & Montana Power company manager, is emphatic on the matter, saying he will not tolerate the practice, not because of unsightliness, though that is bad enough, but because of the danger to linemen.

A man descending a pole is not protected by his belt from falling, and if his iron should strike upon a tack he is in danger of a bad fall.
