JUDGE J. I). 1LENEK KETl-EXS
FROM LA GIUSDE.
Says lie XotJc Marked Improvement
, la Coralnp Eustera Oregon City
(Boise Statesman.)
Judge J. D. Flenner returned yes
terday from filling a Chautauqua date
at La Grande, Ore. ' The La Grande
papers speak In very complimentary
terms of his work as an exponent of
liljey, and say he can have a big au
dience In that place : whenever he
wishes Jo come back.
Speaking of his trip. Judge Fleuner
said; "La Grande is a lively town. It
has a payroll of $150,000 a month. It
is building up solidly and splendidly.
The city has put In 45 blocks of bitii-
lithic this year already, and is putting
In more, It Is one of the trimmest
towns in the west J came near being
president of the old Blue Mountain
university away back in !79. I passed
thi-oncn wiihl it...' Tji f!r',,,
1877; and camped my first time out
of doors on top of the Blue mountains
in August of that Jar.It recalled to
my mind the lines of Longfellow In
'Evangeline concerning the dorous
pines and the hemlock. r
," La Grande was then a llt'.le vil
lage, clustering close to the foothills.
It had a fine brick school bundling;
the barfs of what was called the (Blue
Mountain university, a Methodist In
stitution. It was founded ,si
men aa Wilbur, Hines and Strong,
and graduated some very fine ' men
among whom was Abraham Eads who
was later its president and was later
srjill for several terms presiding elder
of this district. " I once accepted the
presidency of this Institution, but my
people at Grangeville would not re
lease me. I visited the old tit of th
university. It has been torn " down,
and the magnificent new high chool
building that cost about $100,000,
now occupies the . s'ite where it once
stood. Abraham Eads died a few
years ago, well advanced In years, his
wife having preceded him but about
three years. . . " '
Women Secure Park.
"La Grande hal a park, a fine one,
about a mile from town,' where the
Chautauqua is being held. That the
city has'such a fine park ls owing to
(the enterprise and pluck of the wo
men of that city, and especially to
Mrs. W, H. Bohnenkamp, who has de
voted almost 10 years of her life to
creating a public sentiment on that
Subject and in Interesting the business
men in the plan. It' has cost labor
and pains, but it is now a credit to the
city. It was through the zeal and
persevering labor of ' his woman that
nearly all the other towns tn that val
ley were inspired to build pnd e't
aside a park.' It fs now the property
of,the city, and a small tax of 1 mill I
will keep it up- It is an Ideal place J
for the Chautauqua, which1 ndf the;
management of Dr. McMUlakB pres
ident; John Collier, vice'iiresi4ent;
George E. Cochran, secretary j and
manager;" William Miller, treasurer;
Mrs. J. Van Buren, C. J. Black and
Mrs.' C, P. Newlln, is a Splendid suc
cess. With the more enthusiastic sup
port of the business men of the city
and the more thorough organization
of the surrounding towns - which is
contemplated for next year, the La
Grande chautauqna will be one of the
very best In the western circuit, Mrs.
Van Buren was formerly Miss Sadie
Snodgrasfl. (he daughter of one of the
most promMnent pioneers of the north
west. Her mother and . Mrs. , Frank
Coffin" of this city . were ; girlhood
friends. , " "
"5 "One of the Important assets of La
Grande is the family orchestra com
posed of the six , members ' of the
Young family, of that place.' These
six young people are natural: musi
cians, but have received careful train
ing in Portland and elsewhere. . They
were employed by the Chautauqua
management to play during the ses
sions of the chautauqua, and the high
class music rendered by "ihem attract
ed the favorable comment of all vis
itors. They are so many musical
prodigies and are to be heard from In
chautauqua circles in the next few
years. The oldest, Bertha, plays the
violin; Harriet, the Velio; Nell, th
horn; Hazel, second violin; Sadie, the
I piano, and Fred the clarionet. ThelM
I
Old Man and Jim,' were handled bj
this orchestra and produced a sensa
tion. 'While, at La Grande I had the
pleasure of meeting I. A. Arbuckle and
his excellent family, wife and daugh
ter, lie 'Is a brother of our fellow
townsman, Charles Arbuckle."

FREEDOM J3FJHE CITY.
An Honor Which Hid Iti Birth In the
l Middle Ages.
The ceremony of H'txeiitliiir th free
dom of the city a mi houui' nnse m
the middle age when hik Ii rlhi was
not acquired by mere 'domicile. ' No
strancer could move into n medieval
town nnd go into buainoss. his own
gainful occupation or the civic activl
ties. First he must become enrolled
In the guild of his trade, then he bud
to nnderiro an apprenticeship of full
seven years before he could be admit-
ted to Its livery. Then only and thus
only could he nrrlve at the freedom
of his ciry
As a reward for high deeds these
medieval ' city republics ; sometime
conferred on such strangers as had
Berved them well the freedom of the
city by solemn net of the burgesses
and llvprios - without the apprentice
ship of servitude Every such, re
cipient of a city's freedom became nt
once a bui'irpss. free to dwell, free to
engnge In trade, free to vote for the
civic rulers nnd to aspire to the civic
chnlr. The key wan the vlslblp sign
of this freedom the city gates, closed
at sunset against the stranger nnd the
foe. opened to the burgess' key nt all
bonrs, as the door of his own home.
