5 CITY PART TWO TWELVE PAGES 21st YEAR OREGON CITY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1903 NO. 8 the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association The Willamette Valley Chautauqua Associa tion is now ten years old. From a very small but interesting session of three days with a trifling ex penditure of money, the expansion has been steady and persistent, until with the present Assembly thirteen days are occupied to the full with great things, while the expenditures have mounted into the thousands of dollars. The Association begins this year practically out of debt and presents a pro gram for real merit and attractiveness not excelled anywhere in America. Of the four Coast As semblies, it is easily the first in point of attendance and receipts, while at the same time its charges for admission are the lowest. The management has not yet reached its ideal in the way of a Chautauqua program and may not for years to come, but the present program is con fidently presented as by far the most brilliant in talent and attractiveness of any hitherto presented and far more money has gone into it. We ask especially that all our friends of last year make it a point to be with us again and if pos sible camp on the grounds and bring some one else who will enjoy the outing and many excellent features of the program. QLADSTONE PARK. Near the center of Glad stone proper is a beautiful lake of pure water, walled in by rocks and cliffs, without inlet or outlet, and surrounded by a varied surface of hill and hoi ow, covered witn a magnificent and splendid wealth of forest. Here are found in endless variety nearly every tree peculiar to the climate of Oregon. The low growing evergreen fir tree with its lower limbs resting quietly pn the ground, the fine old oak with its many offspring of more tender years, the ash, the, willow, the alder, the entire family of maples, . the hazel and smaller trees in profusion. In a word its a natural park. Greats piles of moss covered rocKS suggest the hand of man in their cunning con trivance, while quiet and shady spots lure the traveler to rest. This park is the pride and glory of Gladstone, it contains about 75 acres and is the home of Chautauqua. LACKAMAS RIVER. One of the greatest at tractions of Chautauqua is this fine mountain stream that meanders along the boundary line of Gladstone for a distance of two miles, affording the purest of drinking water. Its source is near Mt. Jef ferson, and in its rapid decent through primeval for ests and deep canyons, its waters are augmented by thousands of springs of pure, limpid, sparkling water and numerous creeks and rivulets that rise in the fastnesses of the Cascade mountains. Altogether it is the handsomest and largest mountain stream in Oregon, equaling the famous and much advertised Bull Run in purity and temperature, and exceeding it ten times in volume. It is large enough for skiffs and canoes and affords excellent sport in that di rection.' It is the famous trout fishing stream of Oregon, and its banks are lined during the fishing seasons with hundreds of piscatorial artists whose zeal is rewarded by well-filled baskets of fine moun tain trout. Water from this pure mountain stream is pumped direct and supplies the Chautauquans with wholesome pure water. DAILY PROGRAM & & Opening Day, Tuesday, July 14, 1 903 10:30 A. M.
