The Willamette Valley Chautauqua
Assembly opened with a large orowd
on Tuesday morning, and the pro
grams that hare been arranged this
year are among the best that have
been given on the Gladstone grounds.
The opening address on Tuesday waB
made by Congressman W. 0. Hawley,
president of the Assembly, and a re
spouse was made by Dr. Paul Rader,
ot Portland. The Chemawa Indian
baud is a drawing card this year and
their musio is better than ever this
year.
On the platform with President
Hawley were seated 15 of the 16 in
structors of the Summer school. Haw
ley's address of welcome was a mas
terpiece of its kind, showing that he
has grown as a member of congress.
Dr. Paul Rader of Portland responded,
and his brief talk came well up to
the measure of the welcoming address.
The organization of the Summer
classes and announcements by in
structors followed, Mr. Hawley an
nouncing his own classes in United
States History at the old stand under
the trees on the subject of "United
States Government as Exemplified by
Actual Experience in Congress," for
the season of 10 lectures. Professor
W. Eugene Knox, of Puget Sound
University, will have his classes and
lectiireB in elocution, and Dr. B. J.
Hoadley outlined his classes in Eng
lish Literature. Dr. R. A. Heritage

special study of music, as did also
Miss Elizabeth K. Matthews, who has
charge of the kindergarten. These
two buildings are new permanent
structures on the Chautauqua grounds.

Daily lectures on practical sociology
will be given by Dr. Rader at 10

The first lecture of the session was
given Tuesday afternoon by Alfred

Chicago. Mr. Montgomery Is au ec

entertainingly, the chief interest lies
in his wonderful paintings, , his col

In Gilbert & Sullivan's comic opera
"Trial by Jury" and Bordise's operetta
"Rose of Savoy" on Wednesday night,
Dr. R. A. Heritage achieved a musical
triumph, and a large and satisfied au-
dieuce filled the auditorium. Mpss
Edna Browning was the soprano and
her lyric voice is sweet and flexible.
The flower girl in the operette was
Miss Ruth Field, of Salem, who dis
played a great deal of talent, and Miss

has a phenomenally low alto register
of good quality. The chorus of Oregon
City girls was distinctly pleas7fig.
W. H. Varney was the Judge in
"Trial by Jury," and both his acting
and pronunciation were good. The
tenor, Eqgene E. Garlichs, who repre
sented the Defendant, was four years
with Frank Daniels, and bis acting is
excellent. W. A. Ross, C. A. Miller
and V. Harris had the other leading
male parts and a strong feature was
the chorus of 12 bridesmaids by Ore
gon City girls. The Jurymen, a mot
ley array of ordinary citizens, had
some humorous stunts that were very
pleasing and the spectators numbered
64 voices.
Dr. B. L. Whitman, of Seattle, open
ed his bible class Wednesday with an
unusually large attendance. He is one
of the strongest men identified with
Chautauqua. Miss Anna Lewis Clark
opened her Woman's Institute at the

direct descendant of Captain Clark

The feast, which we had prepared,
will long be remembered as the best
ever eaten on a government survey.
The banquet consisted of oysters
(fresh from the cans), venison, trout,
baked beans, and huckleberry cobbler,
finishing with a huge cocoanut cake.
At 5 P. M. Trainer C. Bock gave
an exhibition with his fighting mos

out his mosquitoes, they having fled
to the myriads of wild ones hovering
around camp.
The evening was spent around a
large camp fire listening to songs,

BRYAN'S FRIENDS HEAVY IN LEAD
Outline of Platform. Getting Down to Business.
Will Receive Nomination Friday.
Considerable time was taken up the
first few days of this week at the
great Democratic Convention at Den
ver in battling over credentials. The
chief Interesting on Wednesday cen
tered on the action of the Credentials
Committee declaring against Col.
James M. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, and
the vigorous preparations made by
the skilled and veteran political war
rior to organize his forces for a bat
tle in the convention which he was
determined to carry to the uttermost.
In this fight, New York for the first
time gave an indication of where its
colors will fly in any contest that may
come up. In company with 13 other
states, the New York member of the
committee signed the minority report.
The aggregate voting strength of these
states is 376, but that figure is not
an exact statement of the votes that
Ouffey has will be able to call to his
side, as not all of them are acting un
der the unit rule.
William J. Bryan's views as to what
the Democratic National platform
should contain are fully before the
sub-committee charged by the con
vention with the work of drafting that
document.
Mr. Bryan's views on the Injunction
plank as thus transmitted are that the
plank should begin with the state
ment that the party resents any at
tempted reflection upon the judiciary
of the country; that not only are the
courts themselves created by law;
their jurisdiction and authority are
defined by law, as well as their rules
of procedure.
Mr. Bryan asserts that treasury
funds were used as an emergency to
force through Congress a bill' which
has failed to give protection to the
15,000,000 depositors of the country.
The belief is expressed that the neces
sities of commerce require an emerg
ency currency; that such currency
should be issued and controlled by the
Federal Government and loaned to Na
tional and Btate banks, under proper
guarantee.
"We favor the postal savings bank
if the guarantee bank cannot be se
cured," Is the termination of the pro
posed plank and Mr. Bryan made it
clear to the committee that this quali
fying language should be used In the
indorsement of the postal savings
bank proposition.
Another plank which Mr. Bryan has
suggested In conference to the sub
committee, but concerning which be
expresses some doubt - as to the wis
dom of its promulgation, is hondod
('The MIsubo of Patronage."
It condemns as a violation of the
spirit of our Institutions the action of
the Chief Executive to secure tho
nomination of one of his Cabinet of
ficers. The plunk continues:
"To force a succession in the Presi
dency is scarcely less repugnant than
life tenure in that office, and tends to
the stabllshment of a dynasty."

OGLE MOUNTAIN MINE

Ttioraas'Fairolough, ono of the di
rectors of the Ogle Mountain Mining
Company, has recently returned from
the mineH at Oglo Mountain and states
that the mine is in a most flourishing
condition and that one of tho tunnels
is now down over 160 feet and that
they have struck a heavy ore shute
just north of tho present stake which
was looking op so well and which
promises to be of unusual size and
which will pan out flue when the

ACCLAMATION
Assured at the
Convention
The plank concludes with the state
ment that the Democratic party stands
for the right of the people freely to
select their -officials; that the Demo
cratic party stands for democracy,
while the Republican party is the
party of private monopoly.
On Tariff Platform.
On the tariff the suggestion is that
the position of the party be for revi
sion on the basis of tariff for only
sufficient leveiiues to support the Gov
ernment, levied with special attention
to the necessities of life, Impartially
as to all sections of the country, and
so as not to afford monopolistic pro
tection to any industry.
Subject of Navy.
On the subject of the Navy Mr.
Bryan cautions the committee to be
careful not to Indorse a "large Navy."
"An adequate Navy," he says, "is as
far as we can go.." He has no objec.
tlon to a plank indorsing state mili
tias, but prefers to be in the language
of Thomas Jefferson on that Bubject,
"A well-disciplined militia is our best
recognized defense."
If a plank could be drawn on the
rights of the negro that would be
unanimously acceptable, Mr. Bryan
would not object to It, but he would
not want to force such a plank In the
platform. '
Suggestions of Mr. Bryan which fol
low closely the Nebraska stat plat
form relate to the plank on the concll-
lation of capital and labor; amend
ment to the anti-trust law, the exten
sion of the eight-hour day to include
all Government employes as well as
Government contractors and sub-contractors,
a general employers' liabil
ity act, the separation of the depart
ment of labor, a bureau of mines and
mining, and a department of public
health with a competont physician at
its head; the regulation of the Asia
tic immigration and diplomatic under
standings whereby greater respect
shall be accorded abroad to an Amer
ican passport, the admission of Ari
zona and New Mexico as new states
and the welcoming of Oklahoma as a
sister state, and for Porto Rico a ter
ritorial government, the reclamation of
arid and swamp lands and the pro
tection of the forests, the construction
of the Panama Canal, the department
of the interior, waterways and the con
tinuance of pension policy, a guaran
tee of Independence for the Philip
pines and a pledge not to use the navy
for the collection of private debts; the
public land plank is to declare the
rights of the people, as well as for
the general policy for the rights of
the Nation. . Mr, Bryan suggests tho
advisability of a plank setting forth
the alleged extravagance of the Re
publican administration and pledging
the Democratic party to economy, also
a strong plank on campaign publicity.
As to Alaska, his suggestion is that
any declaration on which the Wash
ington and Oregon members may agree
will be satisfactory to him.
