School) were held in the Methodist
church on Sunday, the 24th, on ac

way, financially, for sever
dollars more than the requi
was taken in and as an
ment, as ell numbers on evory
gram received generous applause
last but not least as nn educational
feature for the Chautauqua is really
a great university. It would be unfair
to the other numbers to give especial
mention to amy one number as all of
them (with the exception of possibly
one or two) received about the same
amount of good, whole-hearted ap-
plause. As a whole the impersona
tions were excellent, the short talks
interesting, the art work wonderful,
the lectures interesting and educa
tional and tho singing and playing
superb. :
C. J. Bushnell, superintendent of
this circuit, announced that the
crowds are larger and the Chautauqua
better than in any town which the
circuit has visited this season. The
success of the first Josoph Chautau
qua assure a Chautauqua for Joseph
next year.
As a whole the weather during
Chautauqua week was all that could
be wished for. This certainly helped
give Joseph a successful Chautauqua.
Miss Lucile McCully, a student in
Willamette University, returned last
week from Salem to spend her vaca
tion with her parents.
N. C. Longfellow, whose home is in
North Carolina, is in Josoph on busi
ness. Mr. Longfellow was a former
resident of Joseph.

WAR MAKES IDLE OSWEGO
IRON PLANT BUSY
Portland, Ore., June 27. (United
Press) The Oswego plant of the Ore
gon Iron & Steel company, idle since
1894, today is being put into shape
for immediate use by Willinm Pigott,
of Seattle, the new owner of the
works. If his present plans mature,
the plant will be turning out pig iron
within the next few days. He said to
day improvements to the plant would
probably cost $100,000. Iron ore will
probably be imported from the west
coast of South America, but it is a'sj
likely that northwest ore will be tried
out. The manufacture of pig iron will
be a big thing for steel shipbuild
ing on the Pacific coast, it is declared.
