The large audience of the afternoon remained generally for the evening, and with the large additions that ar rived on the evening cars very few, if any; S6ats were to be found in the auditorium. The close attention that was paid to the speak per, the man nre in which he swayed his audience and carried it with him, and better than all, kept it seated till he was through, was eloquent tribute to his power of oratory and personal mag netism. "The Battle of Life" was his sub ject Friday night and he gave good wholesome lessons for the building of character and the sure foundation that will insure success. Saturday afternoon in his subject, "The Evolution of Abraham Lin coln," the speaker rose to heights of eloquence never before heard in the groves of Gladstone park. The evolu tion of Lincoln came though three things: his honior which started lum in lite; his honesty, which carried him forward, and his humanity which consummated his life. Upon eaili one of these traits in the character of Lincoln, the speaker enlarged and gave striking instances to illustrate his points. One eloquent picture af ter another, warm with adulation, wreathed in merriment or dripping with the tears of a heart-broken coon try, the speaker brought in rapid suc cession before his audience ,whioh for two hours he held spellbound. One of his moit magnifioent nights of ora tory was the illustration of the life of Lincoln be found when he gazed into mirror lake in the Yosemite and saw the sun rise six times, from above that many mountain heights each one of which he likened to the periods of Lincoln's career, namely, his lone ly childhood, the period of propam Wkrever Electric Motors are Needed ' No matter what they drive or where they are These Anyone using power can. profit . by consulting Portland Railway, Light &?ower Co. G. G. MILLER, Ment Oregon Qity, Oregon CHAUTAUQUA a Fe Days of Year. tion for the bar, political career in ine state, his national career, and his death. From eaoh one he drew pic tures which, at times, reached into the sublime. In closing, the picture he drew of the funeral cortege, as it .passed out of Philadelphia between seven miles of solid humanity, after the remains had laid in state for two days in Independence hall, brought tears to many eyes in the vast audi ence. The memcrial to Uncle Remus was one of the finest literary efforts of the entire course of literature. Mrs. El len Miller closed her work in domes tic soionoe with a lesson on "Sum mer Drinks and Fruit Deserts." Miss Anna Lewis Clark closed her club institute olass with a lecture on "Parliamentary Law and Club Amen ities."

Fifteen members of the Woman's Club of Aurora, not being able to make satisfactory tram ecu neotions, drove down to Chautauqua to serv as hostesses at the federation lent. The religious classes have been par ticularly strongt his year under Rev. Charles A. Pliipps and Dr. B. L. Whitman, and both drew to a very Satisfactory conclusion. At the W. O. T. U. a conference of the members that were on the ground was held at headquarter!, Mrs. Hen rietta Brown, state president, presid ing. It was unofficial in its nature, but most nelpful in its results, as much of the state work was canvassed, ways and means discussed and nlans for campaign work gone over. Time was when every camper on the ground thought it was his duty to take time by the forelock and get out before his neighbor, and by Saturday night the grounds were ulmost de serted. This year lias been exception al in that respect. Every one seemed to have a desire to linger on, so that Wficcs A Saving in Power A Reduction in Expense An Increase in Output An Improvement in Pro duct Some Decided Improvement Always Results When Electric Motors Turn the Wheels.

A subdued feel ing of sadness aud regret pervaded the Chautauqua grounds when the lights went out at the close of the last program of the season, when the "Good Night" flashed from the field dowu below the diamond and the last car went rolling through the grounds ana tne tenters realized that only i Sunday remained of their rest and va cation and season of study. Few seasons, however, have closed with such entire satisfaction and good will as this one. From the start a feeling of good will and harmony between management aud patrons has existed, consequently tilings nave gone smoothly, and with the folding of the tents came the determination to be among the early returners next year.

The freshman class entering the UniverHity of Oregon at1 Eugene this fall will be by far the largest in Hh history.

Last year one- fourth of all the high school graduates of Oregon entered the University of Oregon, and there is every reason to believe that an even greater percent age will enter this fall, though the number of graduates is nearly a half larger than last year. Another souroe that will help swell the num ber very materially is the large num ber of eastern people ooming into the state. The registrar's office receives many letters each week asking if oredits from eastern high schools will be accepted. The demand for cata logues has been unprecedented, and unless all signs foil next year's en rollment will be a record breaker. Young- Man Disappears.
