1'hn Mikado, Mulit opera at the
liniitniiiiiH (onllit.
Thin In an accomplishment which
we are anHiirud will appeal to all our
communities. The Mikado has been
the greatest popular favorite during
Its life, the original production be
ing given during the eighties.
The Harry Duvle Mght Opera Com.
pnny on the second night of the
Chautauqua will present this most
colorful and tuneful of the English
light operas.
The Mikado was first produced at
the Savoy Theatre In London March
14, 1885. The first American pro
duction was In Chicago In July, 1885.
In 1911 It was revived at the CaBino
Theatre In New York.
The opera abounds In charming
lyrics. Among the popular numbers
re Ko Ko's song with the chorus
response, "You may put "em on the
lint but they never will he missed."
The fascinating trio, Yum Yum, Peep
Bo and Plttl sing, "Three little
Melds Prom School are We" Nan
k! Poo's song, "A Wandering Min
strel" Yum Yum'g song, "The Sun
Whose Rays" The quartet "Bright
ly dawns our wedding day" and the
best known of all, "The flowers that
bloom In the Spring, Tra La" duet
by Yum Yum and Nankl Poo.
Costume and scenery which sup
ply the Japanese environment add
much to the enjoyment of the opera.
Mr. Davis has spared no effort nor
expense In fitting out his company
most elaborately for this production.
Mae Guthrie Tongler tomorrow
afternoon.
The wonderful story of one of
Luther Burbank's most beautiful
evolutions Is the starting point for
the famous lecture given by Mae
Guthrie Tongler, than whom there
is probably no better known nor
more universally popular lady lec
turer In Lyceum and Chautauqua
work. Her vivid description, won
derful command of English, her
humor and pathos are bound to
carry her audlenivs from -the bn
glniiing to end. It is beyond the
power of the pen to write a good
synopHls of her lecture.
"Hhnata Imutlcs and Folks" has
been given 'to thousand of audlen
rea In all purls of the country. It
Is an 1 1 tint rut Ion of how the devel
opment of a beautiful flower from
an ui'ly weed cmi be and Is often
purulleled by the growth of hum. in
character. It Is a lecture of com
pelling Intereat, beautiful language,,
and general InteieHt. It cannot help
but Inspire all who hear it..
Count Toliloy tomorrow night.
'I hut the cliHiitiiuiiua has an
uiil'itie m.Haioti wiih a unlver
.il appeal Im Mtrikiiigly shown by tlio
rosier of World reraonages that It
la culling to Its platform. Consider
for a moment the mugnltude of the
ik and the expense of bringing
Count Tolstoy to the extreme west
of America! Is there ant other
agency that could have HohiAoil th.it
and yet placed the privilege of hear
ing this remarkable man within
reach of all?
Kntirely aside from the wonderful
opportunity of knowing this man of
genius for an hour, Is the benefit
of the luformaloii he Imparls on the
to the most of ua confusing Slt
uulton In Russia today. Coming di
rectly from the trouble torn country,
he knows the most' recent phases of
the situation, for who may say that
a Tolstoy docs not speak with au- j
thorlty on questions Ituslan! lie1
will speak but once and that on the:
third night of the Chautauqua. j
The Noott Hlglilnnilet-M tomorrow j
afternoon and evening.
Who In America whose heart does i
not warm at the sound of the Scotch j
burr and the skirl of the bagpipe?
.Who is thei'v whose face does not:
rrtrhi at the sight of kU'n and
their bonnle plaids? It Ib safe to j
guy that no other national music j
and humor Is more popular In this j
country Ihnn that of the canny 8cot. I
Add to that the fact that there are,
In America very, very few Scotch at
tractions and that the Scotch Hlgli
Uiulcra art! in tliu foremost ranks of
th'cBi' few and you" can appreciate
the prldo the management tukes in
announcing Uielr coming and the
treat in store for the community
when they visit IheChautiiuqua.

Satiinluy at Chautauqua will be
Music Day. Knelt of the othor six
days we will have music, too but
only on the fourth duy will the band
be' there. On that day Carmeltny
and his Old Colonial Hand will give
two full concerts.
As a distinct addition to the even
ing program we are glnd to onnounce
that we have secured MIms Lorraine
Lee, who will sing operatic soprano
and popular selections, accompany
ing the entire band. Miss Lee tins
a charming Lyric soprano voice of
rich beauty and adds an artistic
touch of pleasure to the entertain
ment. Although much of her suc
cess has been attained singing In for
eign tongues, she personally prefers
our own language and will sing many
of the woll known homo ballads.

No other benefit derived from
Chautauqua Is of more Importance or
more lasting In Its effects than the
arousing of home town patroitism
a sense of community interest. Ko
Chautauqua program is complete
without a forceful, tearless, business
man's lecture on the community as It
appears to an Impartial outBider. No
community speaker on the platform
at the present time Is more forceful
more fearless, more successful or
more inspiring than W. H. Nation.
He will hold the mirror up to your
community and show you yourselves
"as others Bee you."

Sunday. .
Rip Van Winkle Is an American
classic. Every true yankefc knows
and loves the quaint old comedy. It
has lived in story and in play for
generations and it will continue to
live and grow for all time. No mat
ter how closely the original lines
may be followed each student of the
old classic lends to his presentation
some of his Individual personality.
It Is this that makes the Rip Van
Winkle' of the Spragues different
from anything you may have seen.
They make of it a picture long to
be remembered. Their characteriz
ation has been likened more to that
of the elder Jefferson than any other
player. Alone they become all the
persons in the play. You hear many
people. You see many people. They
costume all the characters and por
tray them convincingly. This fact
alone makes them foremost in their
presentations. An artistic piece of
work hardly describes their effort!
to make you see all the different
people In the play.
During the afternoon these two
versatile impersonators will give a
miscellaneous program of keen In
terest and enjoyment.

WAS CELEBRATED
A complete surprise to Mr. and
Mrs. C. B. Garrison was the celebra
tion of their golden wedding, held
in the Masonic rooms in the Lipman
building. The old folks were en
tirely unaware of the real import
of the gathering, and when George
F. Euston, Master of Ceremonies,
welcomed them in well chosen words,
the varying expressions of surprise,
incredulity and pleasure on their
faces were a delight to see. The meet
ing also celebrated Mrs. Garrison's
67th birthday.
The first thing on the program
was the wedding ceremony. Mrs C.
W. Elkins and Mrs. C. F. Smith were
chosen to attend the bride, ond C.
W. Elkins and J. H. Rosenberg to
attend the groom, and the wedding
party proceeded to the front of the
room to the tune of the wedding
march, little Paula and Llewellyn
Garrison scattering the golden pet
als of roses in the pathway of their
grandparents. Rev. Patterson then
conducted the wedding ceremony,
and these two, wedded for fifty long
and happy years, plighted their faith
anew. The ceremony was an inspir
ation to those present.
Congratulations were In order,
and the many friends of the couple
thronged around them and felicitat
ed them upon the Joy of their anni
versary and wished for them many
more years of happy married life.
Mr. Garrison was then moved to
repeat a letter which he had written
to his wife on the occasion of their
ninth wedding anniversary, when he
was forcer!' to he absent from home,
and which he had never forgotten.
This letter was writen in poetry, and
was very interesting.
The rest of the program consisted
of a piano solo by Flora Edwards, a
reading. "The Descent of Bridget."
by Marguerite Foley, and a pia-io
solo by Eleanor Euston. Mrs. Gar
rison was presented with an East
ern Star pin by Carnation Chapter,
in token of the years she has been a
member of the order, and the Masons
presented Mr. Garrison with a lapel
button. He has been a Mason 62
years.
A general social time was there
after spent by the guesta, and deli
clous refreshments were done com
plete Justice by all.
The rooms were beautifully deco
rated with a large golden wedding
bell suspended at the center of the
room, from, which golden streamers
extended to the corners, and plants
and flowers were tastefully arranged
to make a very pleasing effect.

CROP CONDITION'S LAST WEEK
Over most of the State the weather
was cloudy and moderately cool,
with frequent showers. In the
southern counties some fairly high
temperatures were experienced. In
the Willamette Valley generous to
heavy rains occurred as .the week
closed. Farm work was somewhat
delayed, but except in haying and
strawberry picking the delay was
not serious.
The rains of the last two weeks
have been a great benefit to cereal
crops. In the principal wheat growing
counties a fair to good yield of
winter wheat is assured, and spring
wheat" ia generally in a promising
condition. Cutting of rye for hay
is complete in some western counties.
Winter oats are heading. Winter
barley is mostly headed, and in some
sections is nearly mature. Some
barley In Jackson County is lodging.
Cultivation of early corn is
progressing. . Corn needs warmer
weather.
..Rains have been of much benefit
to fruit In un irrigated districts,
especially to berries, but picking and
shipping of strawberries have been
Interfered with. Some strawberries
CROPS
Rain, to the value of hundreds of
thousands of dollars, fell over this
part of Oregon quite generally dur
ing the past week, and while some
of the dry farming districts did not
receive as much moisture as they
would have liked, all sections we're
visited and in most Instances, an un
usually heavy precipitation was re
corded. In Prineville a total of almost an
Inch, .89 to be exact, fell during the
period from June 7 to 14 Inclusive.
On June 7 the heaviest precipi
tation was noted, an initial shower of
.32 being recorded on that date
which started crops that had been
retarded by lack of moisture to
booming. This was followed by a
.20 on June 13, Sunday, and on Mon
day, .27 was recorded while what
appears to have been the closing
shower for the period came Monday
niirht And meaRtired hut .08 of an
inch.
Reports indicate that while there
are some districts where there was
less rainfall than was recorded here.
yei some localities reeeiveo neavier
percipitation than did Prineville.
From the Bear Creek , Country
comes the report that heavy rain
fell there before it arrived in this
locality, while upper Crooked river
some parts at least, did not receive
their portion until later.
At Powell Butte very heavy rains
fell Sunday and Monday, and in the
Griz-zlv and Lamonta sections and on
McKay and uper Ocboco there was a
heavy percipitation.
In the Culver country there waa
much less rain than recorded here,
and farmers there say that it came
too late for fall wheat, while spring
sown grains will receive some ben
efits. At Lower Bridge there was lest
rainfall recorded than at this point,
and the same condition prevails in
some other parts of Deschutes coun
ty. .
The unusually high temperature
recorded during the storm caused a
great growth of crops and ranges, the
lowest temperature recorded being
on the night of June 11, when the
mercury dropped to 36,' while on the
night of June 9,' 50 degrees was the
lowest point reached, the remain
ing nights of the period ranging be
tween these two extremes.
Indications on the barometer are
that the storm is past, although an
unsettled condition still exists and
but very little lowering of air pres
sure, this part of the state will again,
be in a storm area.
Value to the farmers and stock
men throughout Central Oregon
cannot be overestimated, and all con
ditions at this time point to excellent
conditions for summer ranges and
i the best crops enjoyed for yeare
' which will insure a year of prosper
ity to all residents of this district.
LONG GETS NIXE MONTHS
Nine months in the federal prison
on McNeil's Island and a fine ot
$1,000 was the sentence given A. L.
Long, former policeman, in the fed
eral court Friday, for impersonat
ing a deputy United States Marshal
! last winter.
A stay of execution for 60 daym

Cherries are ripening in some of the
milder sections. Apples and prunes
are growing well.
Unirrigated meadows have been
greatly helped by rain. In southern
counties irrigated alfalfa has made
good growth. Elsewhere alfalfa and
clover need warmer weather and
more sunshine. Some alfalfa In
the shock was discolored by rain.
The rain revived pastures and ranges
which are holding . np well and
generally furnishing abundant feed.
Stock is In good condition except
over small areas.
Garden vegetables need warmer
weather, but are generally thriving?
since the rain began. Early peas are
fairly plentiful and some new
potatoes are offered. Late potatoes
are coming up well. Hops are being
cultivated and trained., and promise
good yields. .
