ROSE COURSEN REED. V 1 'Mrs. Helen Dickinson Harford of Newberg, Oregon, will be in charge of jthe Chautauqua Civic Parliament hour, and also will represent the Na Itional W. C. T. U., of which body she nas oeen an important officer and committee member for many years. Mrs. Harford was for four years state president of Oregon, and also national superintendent of the Chris tian Citizenship department, and has been on the national organizers and lecturers' board since 1896. Mrs. Har ford is a graduate of the Teachers' Normal college ab-AJbany, N. Y., and has had 20 yearuisperience as a teacher and principal. Her Chautau qua experiences have been gained in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Tennes see and Oregon and her W. C. T. U. work has taken her into practically every state in the Union. self. The expenses 'of wiring in dividual tents in different parts of the grounds is so creat that the chautau- . Charles Zueblin i qua. management cannot attend to Having mem wireu. In the matter of wiring tents in other parts of the grounds it might bo well for campers to camp in groups and club together, then by application to the chautauqua management and the payment of the cost of wiring, plus the fee for electricity, the man agement will undertake to have the tents wired. For all tents not rented from the chautauqua management the charge for electricity will be 50 cents for the session. The prospects are that there will bo over 100 tents on the' grounds this season, so early application should be made for places. The place to put your tent can be reserved by applying to Mr. Thomas, keeper of the park. Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed, Portland's leading contralto, who appears in a special chautauqua concert on Mon day afternoon, June 26th, needs no in troduction to the La Grande public, for she has been here in concert be fore, and her re-appearance is awaited with the most lively appreciation by v her friends and former pupils, many of whom live in La Grande and vicin ity. Mrs. Reed has for many years oc cupied the position of leading vocalist f tne northwest. She has had a most extensive musical career both in this country and abroad and has appeared In concert in many of the larger cities. She bas studied under the most re nowned teachers of Paris, Berlin, Vi enna and London, and is acknowledged to be the leading vocal teacher in the west Mrs. Reed will be accompanied by Mrs. Wood Berry. a. . vrnne m tne city uirs. eea win De . 1 i . fl n r A T 1 1 Kue" "J- ifirs, lm. .ruenarason, her former pupil and intimate friend, and it is hoped that she may be in duced to extend her stay during the Chautauqua.

Sifuard lie IMPROVEMENTS CONTEMPLATED (Continued From Page One) improvement to be construction of such an entrance to displace the pres ent one, inadequate as it is. This is, as said, still visionary, but if park booth receipts are substantial th present season, it is not impossible that ere another year rolls by a hand some approach and entrance will be provided. . PROF. CHAS. W." ZUEB LIN, GREAT PUBLICIST. Ono of America's foremost pub licist!),' and authority on municipal government, will bo one of the feat, ures of tho lecture end of the chau tauqua attractions. Chautauqua's purpose, is to project dominant civic forces into communi ties otherwise severed from immediate contact with those forces by reason of size of location. This primary phase of the chautauqua is emphasiz ed this year. By those fumiliar with the directing powers of the practical reformswhich have secured a spiked foothold in America, it is generally conceded that the impellant genius of the nation-wide awakening of our civic conscience is Charles Zueblin, tho publicist, lecturer and author of Bos ton. Mr. Zueblin is a chief orna ment to the splendid lecture staff of. the Western Chautaqua for 1916. The lecture which Mr. Zueblin will deliver at Chautauqua will bo a salient composite of tho keys of his three authorativo books: "Democracy and the Overman," "The Religion of a Democrat," and "American Municipal Progress" a digest of which may be summed up in a sentence: "Democ racy, national and municipal, express ed in- the fellowship. , of human ser vice." . In a series of campaigns for civic improvement, extending over a (period of nearly twenty-five years, Mr. Zueb- MRS. HELEN HARFORD Who Will Have Charge of W. C. T. U. Work at Chautauqua.

A new entrance, artistically constructed, swinging off from the main highway near the north end of the main bridge, is n vague vision the directors oft visualize. Mrs. W. H. Bohnunkamp, head of thes committee, and Mrs. Polack, Chautauqua associa tion president, both. of whom are ever alert to improve conditions at the ps:rk, deem the next big venture of i ND there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge." I found myself recalling this ancient prophecy, as one afternoon, hot and dusty, I turned into 'Riverside Park, where overarchine. SDreadincr bouo-hs of verdant cottonwoods shaded a turf stoft-life velvet, and invited me to a grateful repose. - " Here I lay down and mused, while safely screened from its torrid rays, I watched the suto pencilling the leaves with gold and scintillating in flashing drops of diamond brilliancy as they splashed up from the ripples of the river. Ah! if ithese trees could speak, what a story they would tell of Indian adventure and Indian romance, perchance like that of Hiawatha and Min nehaha. For their story, that of a love of a man for a maid, is as old and universal as the human race. It was first told in Eden when Adam gazed entranced on Eve and claimed her for his own. In olden times, hamadryads or wood nymphs were thought to inhabit particular trees, and indeed, I do not befieve this to be very far wrong.. For trees respond to friendship and speak in whispering tongues to those who love them, as the genial Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, has recorded. Ho had his particular friends among the New England elms, to which he paid periouicai visits, uut trees are sny ana tneir commence must urst oe won. But it will not be by the coldly scientific, nor the vandal, nor the churl, but only by those with child-like hearts free from malice and guile, such, as Thoreau, Holmes and Walt Whitman.. "Fudge,"' I 'hear someone ncmurk, "what nonsense you are talking." "Yes," no doubt it is to you whom trees are trees, grass and flowers botanical specimens and (nothing more. But my unimaginative friend, 'there are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy,' and the trees, grass, and flowers infinitely transcend the vision and horizion of your mind."

GIBBS. lin has left an enduring impression on those of our American cities, which for efficiency in administration, beau ty and cleanliness of streets, parks and buildings the democratizing of human wants, in terms of mutual ser vice have 'become a 'by-word among travelers and authorities on munici pal progress. t Charles Zueblin electrifies an audi ence by the brilliance of his oratory, the virility of his speech, and his practical constructive optimism. Zueb lin is of that timber which maintains and perpetuates the chautauqua as n enlightened American institution, having at heart our highest aims and ideals. ) . .
