'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

work has taken her into practically
every state in the Union.

dividual tents in different parts of the
grounds is so creat that the chautau-

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

with the most lively appreciation by

of whom live in La Grande and vicin

cupied the position of leading vocalist

extensive musical career both in this
country and abroad and has appeared

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-

the main bridge, is n vague vision the
directors oft visualize. Mrs. W. H.

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." He who has eyes to see will see; and curs to hear will hear.

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

Charles Zueblin electrifies an audi
ence by the brilliance of his oratory,
the virility of his speech, and his
practical constructive optimism. Zueb
