JULY 3, 1908 No 8, OREGON TO) FIDO CHAUTAUQUA'S FIRST WEEK - . Outline of Attractions at the Great Summer School OREGON'S WHITE CITY . ) . The Assembly Now Occupying the Attention of Thousands. Home and Abroad The very name Chautauqua lends au enchantment, it fills the miud to over flow with the tilings most desirable in this life, it brightens life's prospects ana the heart is brought in tune with all that is cheerful, bright, pure and best. The great Chautauqua, situated on the lake by the same name in the eastern part of New York state, has spread over the entire world the greatest wave of learning known in the history of our nation, it has sealed an affection, a family relation, known to no other christian school. Thou sands upon thousands in the years gone by who have attended the ses sions hold in their hearts a kindred feeling that can not be blotted out by the ravngos of timo.. So is our Chau tauqua, young as it may be and not on the extensive scale as the great Beat of leraning, yet in just the proportion do we hold dear the days spent in Willamette Valloy Chautauqua. Each year the directors endeavor to improve the prorgam, and this year there are many magnificent attrac tions that will instruct and amuse, and hundreds of eager visitors will fill the auditorium each day to drink in the streams from the living fountains of knowledge, breathe the cool air that wafts through tiie great fir trees laden witli nature's purest treasure from the wooded dell. To camp in the quiet, to rest where .'tis coolest, to study whore there's learning and pray alone with your Maker. All and more, the season demands it, and the Assembly bids all come. - Following will be the program for the first four days, touching upon some of the main attractions. JOHN SHAR? WILLIAMS. The Chautauqua is not partisan. Its broadness includes the best in all things. The management is ex tremely fortunate iiLohtaining the ser vices of John Sharp Williams of Miss issippi, democratic leader in the house of representatives. He needs no in troduction to the people of the Will amette valley. By his tact, his alertness, his good nature, his wit, his keen eye for an opening Jus precept ion when to be silent as well as when to siieak, and by the resources of a well trained mind he has made himself a national figure Mr. Williams has a good head and his thoughts are seas oned with spicy humor of a strictly American brand. Seriousness and fun are delightfully allied. He is a busy man and can givo but one lecture. July 10th, "Portland Day." 3:00 P. M. "America for Americans. " "This is not a man of froth and gosture.

"Trial by Jury," one of the finest comic operas by Gilbert and Sullivan, is one of their best satirical hits. It opens with the spectators waiting in a court room for the trial of a breach of promise suit. Soon the jurymen take I heir places and the defendant ap pears and explains how his heart has wandered but tries to justify the aot by allowing that everything in nature changes and he ought to be allowod Boss ' tne same privilege. (The judge t then comes into oourt and receives a hear ty welcome. The usher thon swears the jury and the plaintiff is called, who gathers flowers from her maids and distributes them to the jury -and officers of the court. The judge ba comos very mnoh infatuated with the plaiutiff and the jury is also badly smitten. It looks very bad for the do fedndant, but the suit goes on. The counsel then gives his opening plea to the jury. The plaintiff is very much overcome and atfer much attention Bhe listens to the defendant, who offers to marry both ladies if that will be satisfactory. But the counsel dis covers that fo marry two ladies at the same time would be "burglary". Since damages must be assessed the plaintiff makes her plea to the jury, and is answoved,by the defendant who olaiun that he is a very bad man who gets intoxicated and would kiok and boat her, and consequently the dam ages would be small. The judge then deoides to get him intoxicated and let him try, evoryone objouta, and the judge gets mad and says that ho will marry the plaiutiff himself.
