JULY 19 1907 No 10 , WAR GAME AT CDRRINSVILLE Japanese Laborers In Mili tary Skirmish Drill HAVE NEARLY 100 MEN Report Current That Yellow Men Executed Rifle Practice In , Woods ' Last Sunday. Some 75 or 100 Japanese were seen last Sunday In a remote location about two miles south of Currtnsvllle, a flag station on the Estacada branch of the Oregon Water Power Com pany's line about 35 miles from Port land, executing with considerable abil ity a skirmish drill. The maneuvers were conducted under commands from one whose manner gave to him the appearance of a commissioned of ficer of the Japanese army. I. J. Helms, a . barber employed in The Model shop at 91 Sixth street, with his wife was spending the day last Sunday near Currinsville and hap pened to wander some distance from the railroad Into the woods. Attract ed by the sound of gruff orders and occasional rifle shots they ventured further on until coming to an opening in the timber they saw between 75 and 100 Japanese training In arms. Mr. and Mrs, Helms were not no ticed by the Japs and their drill was not Interrupted. Some had rifles and others sticks which they used as rifles. A skirmish drill, was the na ture of practice. At the command of their leader they would run to a cer tain position, fall flat on their stom achs and fire at a target. Again the command would be given and again they would spring up, find a new posi tion, fall flat and fire at the target at a different angle. Others, says the Oregon Journal, be side Mr. Helms and his wife saw the Japanese last Sunday. Three men who were looking for berries also ran upon the Japs. They thought little of the circumstance at the time but as they continued to think about it the seriousness of the occurrence came to them. It is thought that the Japanese are employed near there getting out logs or making ties. However, those who llbe near when they heard there were nearly a hundred of them1, were sur prised to learn that there were that many Japs In that section. The place chosen for the practice is near the Clackamas River, far from many hab itations and a location little likely to be easily run upon. The training Jap anese were seen about the middle of the afternoon.

SUCCESS MARKS SESSION Noted Southern Lecturer Is Last Great Speaker and Grand Concert Slated For Saturday. The presence of Governor Henry A. Buchtel, of Colorado, at Chautauqua Friday was the reason for an In creased attendance, there being more people at the lecture than at any pre vious day In the session. The audi torium, with a seating capacity of 3000, was nearly full, and the auditors applauded the Governor time and again. Buchtel is a great story teller, and told a lot of tales from Mr. Doolev. Governor Buchtel's subject in the ' afternoon was "The Pleasantness of American life," and he contrasted the life of the American workman, with the laborers of other countries, to the disadvantage of the latter. Mr. Buchtel talked on social equali ty and gave some beautiful Illustra tions. He discussed the religious peace In this, country as compared with France and England, and his lecture abounded with contrasts, The speaker dwelt on the natural appre ciation of Amorlcan humor, and said that after an Englishman has been here 40 hours, he Is no longer an Englishman, but becomes an Ameri can. The Governor, after apologizing to the Christian Scientists, and stat ing that the medical men could not be offended as they were at Seaside and could not hear, said that if the doc tors knew more about gruel and less about poisons, and opened more win dows and fewer patients, there would not be so many Christian Sclentises. Prof. W. Eugen Knox delighted the audience Friday afternoon with two recitations, the last being humorous, coupled with stunning sneezes that convulsed the people, The baseball game Friday between the Chemawa Indian team and the Trunkmakers was won by the latter. Both teams made three runs in the first Inning and in the second- the Indiana piled up two more, but the Trunks changed pitchers in the third and there was nothing doing for the braves thereafter. The score follows: Chemawa 3 2000000 05 Trunkmakers . 30022010 8 The Portland Women's Club had charge of the exercises at the Chau tauqua Forum Friday morning, under the direction of Its president, Mrs. Frederick Eggert. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans talked on "Oregon, as Viewed from Jamestown," and Mrs. Wells spoke on "Mothers' Clubs". The Club chorus of 12 women In white gowns gave selections with such charming effect that by special request of Goveror Buchtel they sang again in the afternoon on the auditorium plat form. "Theodore Roosevelt" was the sub ject of Governor Buchtel's lecture on Friday night, and the manner in which the delivery was given raised the governor In the estimation of his audience. The lecture is to be classed among the very best on the lecture platform and Is a great Inspiration. Saturday is always a favorite day at Gladstone Park, and last Saturday was no exception. The weather was beautiful and picnic parties were much in evidence. The feature of the day's program was the lecture by Hon. Frank Stew art Regan and the reception that fol lowed in the W. C. T. U. tent, which Is the "beauty spot" of the grounds. He bears the distinction of having been elected to the legislature of the state of Illiolns from the tenth sena torial district by a majority of more than 3000 on the straight Prohibition ticket. He asked his audience to con sider themselves hearers In his own district, and taking for his topic, "The Saloon in Politics," went at the, pro position hammer and tongs. Immediately after the close oi tne lecture a reception was tendered Mr. Regan. The affair was In charge of Mrs. Lucia Faxon Auditon. Kev. James Hoffman Batten, of North Da- gota, talked entertalnly on the pro hibitory laws of his state and torn how they had been strengthened this year. Solicitors are not permitted to go after liquor business and the ef fort to sell booze Is confined to me malls.

The Mothera' Congress was held Saturday during the Chautauqua For um, Mrs. Elmer B. Colwell, presiding. Dr. Charles H. Chapman talked on "The Training of Teachers," and said that Oregon needs not only four nor mal schools, but a dozen, that every teacher in Oregon might be trained for her work. Dr. Chapman said that more married women are needed In the public schools as they have the most experience about children and it Is suicidal to shut them out. The speaker stated that all teachers, both men and women, should be paid bet ter salaries, and he bitterly criticized Dr. Lyman Abbot's magazine, "The Outlook," which he characterized as "the foe of women," for Inducing Gov ernor Hughes to veto the law passed by the New York legislature giving the women teachers in New York the same pay as the men for the same work. C. C. Chapman, of the Chapman Ad vertising Company, made a splendid talk on "Efficiency in Education," and complained of the difficulty in finding stenographers versed In the simple art of spelling. The third speaker was Prof. Mary F. Farnham, of Pacific University, who spoke on "Civic Im provement," as Illustrated by the work done in beautifying the charm ing little town of Forest Grove, until now it is known as .the prettiest little city in Oregon. Prof. C. M. Cady, of the Boston School of Music, was among the visi tors at Chautauqua, and he has ar ranged for a sacred concert by class ical performers at Chautauqua Sun day evening, July 21. The baseball game Saturday be tween the North Pacific and the East Side Athletic Cub was the best of the schedule and fast fielding and hard hitting on both sides was the feature. The game was won by North Pacific with a score of 6 to 3, and the winners secured nine hits. The beautiful rustic cantata, "Months and Seasons," was given on Saturday night by 75 school children of Parkplace and Oregon City under the direction of Dr. R. A. Heritage, musical director of Chautauqua. The auditorium was crowded and the pro gramme was very creditably carried out.

Alta Millard: July, Hattie Krugr; August, Maud Booker; September. Florence Hewitt: October, Bunnle Ownsby; November, unristine Kraust; December, Ruth Rauch. "The Oregon Grape," words by Mrs. Eva Emery Dye and music by Father Dominic of Mount Angel, was redered by Miss Nellie Roberts, of Salem and chorus, and Mr. Arthur von Jessen was at the piano. Tho chil dren were In costume and the tableoux with flower girls, maids of honor, crown bearers and choruses formed a charming picture. The "Anvil Chor us," from II Trovatore, was given as an intermezzo, with three anvils In the chorus. There has been no chil dren's cantata at Gladstone Park for many years and the feature was care fully worked out by Dr. Herltace and excited much admiration and ap plause. Hundreds of people sought the cool groves of Gladstone Park and spent atinnay on the Chautauqua grounds. The attendance was better than any aunuay in the memory of Chautau- quans. More than 800 tickets for the grounds were sold at the Portland of fice of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company before noon. Frank Stewart Regan lectured at 2 o'clock, and his cartoons were effective. The speaker drew several pictures and il lustrated his points as he went. His last picture was taking, and first he showed the grand old ocean, with a ship at sea coming in. Mr. Regan placed In the picture a rocky point and a lighthouse and then the inside harbor of San Francisco. Back of this he drew a timbered country, mak ing a railroad through a cut that re sembled a scene on the O. R. & N. up the Columbia and finally the hoary neaa or Mount Hood loomed up In tne distance. Mrs. Sarah A. Evane presided Sun day afternoon at the Chautauqua For um under the direction of the Young Women's Christian Association.

Miss Joehnke is a graduate of the University of Chicago, and lecturer to the public schools of New York. She has talked from New Hampshire to Pennsylvania on Irrigation and Immi gration. Many of her lectures have been delivered to the worklngmen's colleges of the Eastern cities, under the auspices of the local school boards. Dr. Owens Adair, the pioneer women's physician of Oregon, gave in teresting reminiscences of 40 years Continued on page 3 The Reason constant effort is to give not "just as good" but the best work and that, for as little money as possible.
