Then to as to make all things perfect the sun which had been playing hide and go seek with the clouds and rain storms for lo, these many moons came up bright and smiling with not a cloud in the ky and bade all the world welcome and made everyone rejoice that the Chautauqua was to have not onlv a perfect park in which to meet but perfect weather as well. Promptly at ten o'clock the Chautauqua Assembly was cilled to order. The attendance on the first day ' wa exceeding large and the indications are that the attendance this year will be far in excess of that of any year that has gone before. ..-.., , The opening address was made by President W.C. Hawley in a timely and well prepared effort. He was responded to by our own Col. R. A. Miller in a happy and neat address. The programme was carried out to the letter during th mom. ing and afternoon. The Chemawa Indian band of tbeOhemiwa college rendered some fine music and are with the meeting to staj until it closes. In the afternoon a very interesting game of base ball was played between the Chemawa and Sunnyside Woodman in which the score was 21 to 6 in fayor of the Indians. ...... The treat of the first day came in the evening. Senator Johnatban P. Doliver, the Junior Senator bom the state of Iowa was billed to deliver his great address "A Poor Man's Government and a Poor Boys Country." Senator Doliver was was introduced by Ex-Governor Geer of Salem Senator Doliver's address was a brilliant and masterly effort. It was full of brilliant flights of oratory, of splendi d imagery and rich in the best thoughts of the modern world. Senator Doliver fo r years has had the reputation of being one of the ablest platform orators before the American public to day and he amply and ablv made good his reputation on Tuesday night. His address was worth going miles to hear and the 3,000 people who listened to him wers more than delighted at the splendor of his genius, bis matchless word patting, and his rich and bubbling humor. No better address has ever been delivered in the Chautauqua auditorium and it remains to be seea if Champ Clark who comes next week as an orator and humorist and platform en tertainer is Doliver's equal. , ( "- y-r. Both United States Senators from Oregon were present to hear Doliver and BIG FIRE IN WOOEN MILLS Oregon City'Mannfactnxing Company's Heavy LossDamage t , ' , Estimated at $100,000 Portland Flouring Mills Saved from Destruction , by Des r . pcrate Efforts of the Firemen. Three Hundred Operatives Thrown Out of Employment by the Terrible Disaster The most disastrous fire that has visited Oregon City in recent years, and per haps the moBt expensive fire that ever visited the city, destroyed he wooden part of the building containing the plantof the Oregon City Manufacturing Company and ijommonly known aa the Oregon City Woolen Mills, between the hours of nine and 11 o'clock Tuesday evening. The fire broke out in the carbonizing room and had gained considerable head way when discovered. The entire fire department of the city was summoned and were quickly on the scene. Superintsndent of Waterworks W. H. Howeil was in Portland and no one else understood the manipulation ot tne waterworks machin ery as well as be, and as a consequence it was impos ible to get sufficient pressure for good work until the fire had eaten its way into the ""structure and gained so much ground that it was impossible to save the building, and all the energy of the whole fire brigade ws expanded in saving the main part of fhe woolen mill and the plant ot the Portland Flouring Mills, which is locat d just south. Both of these buildings were on fire time and time agaiu, but the heroic exertions of the brave fire laddies just as often extinguish d the flames and the only damage done to them was by water. For more than three quarters of an hour a dozen great streams of water kept playing upon the flames, at parently with but little t-ffeot, put finally the fire fighters began to get the best of the battle and the fire began to gradually die out, but not nntil the wooden part of the building had been coasumed. The burned building contained a quarter of a million pounds of wool, a hundred barrels of oil :ind much valuable machinery, besides the great boilers of the company. ' Every thing in the building was a total loss unless it be the boilers, which are probably 1 not yery much injured oy the heat. The inside of the main building' caught on fire at different times, but persevering work on the part of the firemen saved it from destruction. : : .. By ten o'clock, the fire which hid been burning for more than an hour, began to die out, but thefireiuttn were compelled to work until after twelve before even a small number of them could leave the scene ' with an assurance that it would not again spread. In fact, a number wot ked all night. The total lose to building, m ichinery and starage will be in the neighborhood of a $100,000. It is understood that the loss is fully covered by insurance. The mill employs, three hundred men, women and girls, and the average salary paid is $1 50 per day . .All of this small armv will, for the time being, be thrown out of employment. The mill will be lorwl to'cl'jsediwn until repairs can be made, which will be at least for tvo months and pemape longer. The work of rebuilding he burned out department will begin just as to rn as tue losses cn be adjusted. This is not the first fire loss ihe Oregon City Manufacturing Compan" has experienced. In 1876 the plant was almost totally destroyed, while but five yens ego the same part of the plant burned out Tusday night was wiped out and a heavy loss entailed, while it has been but little more thau a year since the mill had a smaller fire. . Of the three hundred persons who work in the mill, many live on the out skirts i f town or in the suburbs, and the majority of them did not know anything about the fire until the next morning, when they went as usual to theif work, only to discover the the place where they earned their daily bread a mass of coals and ashes. A hundred of them congregated about the mill and with disconso late faces discussed the catastrophe. There seems little doubt but that spontaneous combustion was the cause of the file. This theory is accepted on all sides . ' Many Oregon Oily people were attending the Chautauqua at Gladstone Park, and when the fire was discovered, while they were not aware as t) what portion of the town it was in, they were sure of the fact that a great fire was raging in their hometown and threatening their very homes and they made all possible haste to reach the city . The Chautauqua train which was not scheduled to leave until after 10 o'clock ran up to the town, carrying a large load of people, while the elec tric cars also bore their proportion. Many hundreds of people gathered and wat (;';' tbe brilliant spectacle.

The first w as by Senator Dolliver in the afternoon, his subject fceing, "The working man of Nazareth." The lecture was listened to by a large crowd, who gave the orator their undivided at tention. ' .. In the evening Babbi Stephen 8. Wise, of Portland, was the attraction. The grand auditorium was two-thirds full when he began speaking and very few had led by the time he had finished. His discourse was of an hour's duration. He was billed to speak on "The New Womanhood, but changed his subject to that of "Prejudice." He said that he was a Jew and spoke as a Jew to Christians. "I do not believe," said the Rabbi, "That the man who bates the Jew has the right to the name of Christian." Beferring to the churches he said: "Until churches become as prejudicated against the devil half as much as they are prejudiced against one another, the growth of their work will continue to be as stunted aa it s now. I tell you prejudice is spread by the churches." 10:30 2:00 5:00'''"4 7:30 ' f '' ' ' . The PARROT Talks I'm neither too big, nor too little I'm just right. My quality is amirable.
