CHAUTAUQUA IS
MECCA FOR MANY
Beautiful Grove and Inspiring: Programs
Attracts Crowds of People
MANY SURPRISES STILL IN STORE
Last Days' Sessions will be Best of AH.--A Grand
Patriotic Program For Tomorrow.-Many
Other Attractions
"A great day" was the universal
opinion of the Sunday's Chautauqua.
Over 1200 tickets were sold at the
gate. This did not include campers
or season tickets, but, basing an es
timate on those Sold at the gate, fully
2500 people enjoyed the park, the ad
dresses and the music, all of which
were very good.
Many visitors from other states
registered, being in the city euroute
to or from Seattle. To them the park
was a revelation and exclamations of
pleasure and admiration were heard
on every hand.
It certainly was magnificent and
showed to best advantage with every
thing washed clean and with the sun
fllterin through the leaves of those
massive, century old oaks, with their
eushlons of green and festoons of
moss.
Chautauqua Sunday School is always
a joy, It was well attended and was
conducted in a systematic and well
ordered manner.
The forum, hour was observed with
a most enterprising talk on "The Re
cent Uprising in Turkey," by Alexis
Abdullah Ben Kori, formerly a subject
of the sultain, and a present professor
of modern languages at Pacific Uni
versity. He spoke most fluently, and
held a large audience in most rapt
attention, while he made plain many
facts and much of the history of Tur
key's recent upheavel that the great
mass of people are ignorant of, and
much that was never allowed to creap
into the dally press.
The choir, assisted by the audience,
sang the new song introduced into the
national department of Christain citi
zenship by the superintendent, Mrs.
Helen D. Harford. Visitors registered
from Maine, Massachusetts, Montana,
Kansas, California, with the host from
over the state from La Grande to Al
bany. Those who failed to come are

missing a great treat. Mrs. Neal Bj
Inmah, president of- Central Mission,
Portland, was hostess for the day.
The music at every session was un
usually fine. Professor Pennell and
Miss Grace Keller were in excellent
voice and charmed their audience with
their opening duet.
Never was sun shine more welcome
than when it broke over Gladstone
Park Sunday morning. The . whule
park this morning seemed abuz with
renewed Hie and eagerness. Long be
foie the first class gong sounded peo
ple were wandering toward their re
fpoctive class tents, or pavlllions, pa
per and pencil in hand, anxious to
get to work again, for never have
the classes been so well attended or
so much interest shown in them.
The only change of any importance
is the place of meeting of Dr. Chap
man's class in literature, which here
after will be held in the tent of the
Federated clubs instead of at the head
quarters of the W. C. T. U.
"The German Drashatists" was the
subject under discussion. Hauptmaa
and Suderman were touched upon,
with some references to the "Sunken
Bell." This is a symbolic play, which
admits of much discussion and a di
vergence of opinion.
Monday morning Dr. Goshen began
the second part of his Bible study.
The general topic has been the "Atone
ment." Last week it was studied his
torically and traced through its devel
opment in the Old Testament. This
week will be given to its working out
through the life of Christ as recorded
in the New Testament. Dr. Goshen
is a great educator, and there is no
question but that he will leave his.

class and his platform work has been
most acceptable.

The forum put on a good program
Monday with Miss Emma P. Lincoln
as reader, who gave "Paulina Pal
ovna." Dr. Osmond Royal gave a fine
talk on "Nervousness in Children."
Monday afternoon Dr. Eugene May
gave his. first lecture, "Come Up Smil
ing." The management introduced one
of the best features yet presented. The
famous "Knickerbocker" quartet of
San Francisco.
This has been the Galla week at
Chautauqua, many poeple from all
parts of the state are enjoying the
beautiful grove and the Inspiring prcr
grams which are of the high class
order. Each day's entertainment
could hardly be improved upon, and
still Chautauqua has surprises for its
hearers in its last days, In the way
of clever speakers, concerts, etc.
The music this year is unusually
good and it is the verdict of old Chau
lauquans that arely ever has there
been rfiore entertaining programs giv
en.
Thursday afternoon marked the
tenth day, the Knickerbocker quartet
giving a concert in the evening and
Dr. Matt Huges making his first ap
pearance in the evening with his lec
ture, "The American Pessimist." He
also spoke In the afternoon of Friday,
July 1(, on the Art of Living."
On the same evening an athletic
entertainment was given by the Y. M.
C. A. under the direction of Profes
sor A. M. Grllley.
Saturday afternoon Mr. Flowers will
give a short reading and Dr. Eli Mc
Clish of Los Angeles will speak on
Uights and Scenes of War." This
vVill be patriotic day and the music,
forum and headquarters will arrange
their programs to do honor to the
veterans. I

Captivating
The return of MIsb Mar Adele Case
to America and latterly to this city,
where she is now resting for the sum
mer at the home of her mother, Mrs
M. E. Case, in beautiful Falls View
addition, has been heralded from
coast to coast and across the great
waters of the Atlantic and Pacific as
well. The great live daily papers of
the metropolis cabled hither and yon,
the dashing headlines of the Pacific
Coast papers took up the chorus and
all were loud in their praise Of her
accomplishments. But what the
meaning of all this, there had been
the cropping forth of something unu
sual in a woman, not altogether her
voice, biit it was the outburstlng of
enthusiasm over the grand success
that had attended the untiring and
succesful efforts of a young woman
to secure for herself a prominence
among the greatest people of the
world. So that the fame was due and
hacked by a voice that cannot be ap
proached today by any voice that has
received that magic touch of Divine
blessing.
Appearing in local performances
from time to time when but a young
girl Miss Case added strength to her
voice and a determination to win her
way to the top. Carrying on her work,
with meagre purse, she soon branched
to other states, until the people of
Boston had been made to wonder at
the sweet-voiced girl. From coast to
coast she sang, from the Alaskan
country to the Golden Gate, every
where heralded with the same shouts
of praise at her coming and expressed
at her going, that "The Pacific slope
was about to give to Europe the rar
est voice that has ever gone forth
from tho Pacific states." This was
Just prior to her departure for the
great music center of the world, Paris,
and as expressed at that time by a
writer of prominence, her voice has
been her fortune. Mrs. Eva Emery
Dye said: "To those who have watched
the sad-eyed little girl growing up
among us, never finding time for the
usual frivolities of childhood, her
present work means a good deal. The
daughter of a widow whose dignified
management of her family has won
the admiration and respect of all who
knew her, Mary Adele, like Emma
Abbott,, had little time to play, music
was her constant, quiet Btudy. Like
the prince whose feet with fairy
shoes were shod, she sung herself in
to the hearts of patrons and patron
esses, and now when she begins to
see a chance for study abroad, Ore
gon will do herself honor to waive
ter sweet Bonglilrd on to farther op
portunities and farther triumphs for
a voice that is the gift of God."
Such was the opinion of one who
spoke well before Miss Case had won
fame abroad.
In review of her accomplishments
at Paris there can be but the greatest
praise, not only for her masterly sing
ing alone, but for her untiring work
with its crowning success in making
such a quick appearance before the
critics of the old world, the summing
up of.the two short years spent there;
can but bring wonder and adoration
that has been showered upon her head.

Famous Singer
Expressly for the Courier
the world has not yet gotten through
wondering, we quote from one of the
London papers, with the caption:
"American Artist's Success."
"It is such performances as that
of Mme. Winnlfred Hunter and Miss
Adele Case, who made their London
debut at Aeolian Hall last night, that
go far to establish our faith in the
atttstic sincerity of the New World,
Both ladies, the former a pianist and
the latter a contralto, hail from
America, and, like all good people of
that continent, have sought their artis
tic chastening in Paris. Mme. Hunter
was the. first to court opinion on her
talent in a group of pieces, which re
flected almost as much credit upon the
performer for her originality of choice
as for her highly intellectual and
finished account of the same. Mme,
Hunter showed herself to be not only
a brilliant executant, but a possessor
of the rare quality of restraint.
"Miss Adele Case's qualities as a
singer run in many ways parallel to
those of her friend as a pianlstr There
is the same seriousness of purpose,
the same finish and refinement of style
and taste for the variety in selections.
Miss Case has a contralto voice of
soft, mellow quality over which she
has full control, and as this is backed
by a keen dramatic Instinct, it is
scarcely necessary to add that the
new-comer scored a sucess. In fa
miliar songs by Franz, Strauss, and
Brahms, and some French examples,
Miss Case was thoroughly at home
with the diction of both, but her heart
as well as her voice were in some
American songs by Smith, Campbell-
Tipton, and Beach. In short, our vis
itors have little to regret in their tem
erity to court the critical opinions of
London."
Naturally with the fame comes
numerous offers, and in this Miss Case
is somewhat at her wits end, there are
so many ways to turn, fortune and
fame beckoning from the four points
of the compass, with splendid offers
from two leading operas in Paris, with
a call to sing before the Pope, as well
as the Queen of Roumaula. Miss Case
has made many warm friends among
the greatest musicians of the world
and after finishing her two years'
work with the noted Paris instructor,
Mr. King Clark, she. was entour
through Europe, which offer has again
been presented to her by l'.itz Kreis
ler, who is considered the king of
musicians.
There is a most severe lesson in
tills sweet singer, to the people
throughout this wide world If they
could but grasp the situation and see
the rich income of fame that is Just
within their grasp if they would but
improve the opportunities that flit bo
fore them each moment of their lives.
Let in the sunshine, and smile through
trials, wish well of those who deserve
the well wishes of a community or
of a nation, we may not all be gifted
with the sweet voice, but the Divine
hand has placed some attribute within
reach, that may be unfolded by honest
labors.
The budding of the rose to the
beautiful bloom, as the warming sun
gathers It to itself in fond caress, to
develop and broaden till it shows to
the world what nature hath concealed
within Jts rosary petals, the coming
forth of nature at the spring season In
its green cloak of velvet, spreading
warmth and brightest pleasures to the
world so has there returned to us in
this comely little woman nature's
loveliness, in her voice, so rich and
sweet and strong, that the laughter
of nature's rills, the mocking of her
sweetest birds scarce make an im
pression more rapturous.
Miss Case Is to Oregon, and to her
home, Oregon City, what Joan do Arc
Is to Paris, not knowing now her place,
but some day to reach that supremacy,
the crowning effort, the grandest and
sweetest singer the world does care
to know.
Phone to Rifle Range.

Range at Clackamas, a much needed
extentlon, and are receiving a large
amount of work from the extentlon
at the present time. .The State En

Target practice and guard duty are
the two features receiving the great
est amount of attention at this en
campment, and the range Is occupied
every day by one of the three battal
lions, the other two executing the var
ious formations of hattallion drill. In
addition to the guardsmen, Beveral
companies of Infantry and a machine
gun detachment from Vancouver bar
racks are encamped, and are acting
in conjunction with the citizen sol
diery. The members of the Oregon City
Company at camp are Captain Frank
lin A. Loomla, First Lieutenant W.
R. Logus, Second Lieutenant Chas.
Hidy, Sergeants A. L. and W. E.
Kuehl, Spagle, Godfrey and Barnes;
Corporals Andrews, Gillett, Bruce,
Mead, Slnnott and Harris, Privates
Bowen, Green, Wink, U. S. Kellegg,
Edwards, E. L. Kellogg, Green, Wood
ward, Farnell, Cristesen, Nelson,
Price; Cooks Dollar and Miles. The
company forms a portion of the sec
ond battalllon, which Is commanded
by Major Baker.
Tuesday the battalllon occupied the
forenoon with extended order and
close formation drills and In the even
ing, passed in review before the com
manding officer with the rest of the
regiment. The following day, the sec
ond battalllon occupied the range, arnd
several members of the local organ
ization qualified at different distances
in the marksman's course. Consider
ing the fact that the company have
enjoyed no priveledges for target prac
tice, the scoring was very good. At
noon the officers of Company C, Cor
poral York, a former cavalryman who
was a member of the Oregon City com
pany at the American Lake maneu
vers, but now In the First U. S. In
fantry, were the guests of Company
G at a chicken dinner, with all the
delicacies that go with it, prepared
In the manner in which the chief,
Clem Dollar, and Miles and Price his
assistants can prepare it. Dollar has
found that in order to win a man's
heart, it is also necessary to win his
stomach, and the viands that are pre
pared by him and the generous variety
of food furnished through Quarter
master Spagle have caused the men
of the company to make the mouths
of the rest of the regiment water by
recounting the good things that are
served In the company kitchen at mess
time.
Wednesday afternoon, the company
again went to the range, where the
men fired at the 500 yard range. Lat
er in the afternoon they participated
In an Interesting experiment on the
part of Major Baker to test the effici
ency of a battalllon of National guards
supported by machine guns in action.
The battalllon fell back to tho 1000
yeard range, each man supplied with
15 rounds of ammunition, and here
the battalllon and two machine guns
formed a skirmish line and advanced
toward the targets, dropping down
and firing at the commands, exactly
as if they were advancing on the en
emy. Thursday evening, the camp was
alive with visitors, many of them res
idents ,of Oregon City, who witnessed
the dress parade and review in honor
of Governor Benson.
Early Saturday morning all the
troops In camp. National Guard and
Regular Army, will leave in heavy
marching order, divided into two forc
es, which will operate against each
other until noon Sunday. The oppos
ing commands will be instructed, In
a general way, as to the objects to be
accomplished, and It will be left to
the commanding officers to work out
their own salvation. Strict secrecy
will he observed as to the nature of
the movements.
Equipped with shelter tents and
field rations, tffe two opposing com
mands will leave camp and proceed
eastward several miles from Clacka
mas along different routes. At dark
the troops will bivouac but both will
doubtless move during tho early hours
of the morning in an effort to gain
an advantage. The movement will
afford excellent Inatrutlon in advance
