Itoai Chariimn, which occurred Wednesday morning at 10 a. m., was largely attended by the residents of Oregon City and surround ing country, and Portland and neighbor- ling towns were well represented. Mr. Cbarman had been confined to his house for several months with consumption, w ith w hich he had Ih'cii alllicted for the past two years. His death wnanot un expected, which occurred at his ri'ni denre in this city Monday morning, July '.'.ml, 18!o. He was 53 years, three months and six days old ut the time of his demise. Mr. Channan was born in Surrey, England, April llilh, 1 1S42, and was the youngest of a family of eight children. When ho was nine vears old he came to America with his parents, who took up their residence in Indiana. E. K. Charmaii started out for himself at an early age, and soon made his mark in the world and became prominent in business and social cir cles in the city of Anderson in that state. Reports from his brothers, Major Thomas Charman and t'no late Freder ick Channan, induced the deceased to come to Oregon City in 1SS2, and for several years was connected with Char man & Son's general merchandise store. In 1SSS he bought an interest in the drug house of Charman & Co., which lie held at the time of his death. In 18oVS he married Mis Matilda Elliott, who survives him, but they had no children. The deceased was a tuodcl business man and his genial disposition made him many friends. He became a Free Ma son in l$t7, and was a prominent mem ber of Multnomah Lodge No. 1, A. F. A A. M. Mr. Charman stood high in the estimation of the citizens of Oregon City, and hag been a member of the city council and filled other positions of trust. The funeral was held under the aus pices of the Masons, and was conducted at theresidence by Rev. A. J. Montgomery, of the Presbyterian church, and Dr. J. W. Cowan, of the Congregational church. Judge Thomas A. McBride delivered an eulogy on the life cf the deceased, that was eloquent and grand. He spoke of the upright life of the deceased as being worthy of emulation, and that here lies the remains of man, who in life w as hon ored and respected. The Masonic fra ternity were well represented at the ser vices, and hundreds of friends were un able to gain admittance to the dwelling to hear the services, but a large proces sion followed the remains to the grave. The services throughout were especially impressive, and Rev. M. L. Rugg, of the Baptist church, as a Mason, assisted in the beautiful and solemn burial ser vice. The metallic casket was covered with broadcloth, appropriately draped, and covered with handsome floral deco rations. The display of flowers was! grand and the grave was fairly covered with garlands. The pall-bearers were Judge T. A. McBride, C . II and E. G. Cautield, George A. Harding, County Clerk George F. Horton, and O. O. Hod son, of McMinnville. Appropriate se lections were rendered by the chorus, led by A. S. Dresser.

Our All praise and honor is duo the Rcgiua Ladies' Hand of Corvallis, whoso faith fully filled their place on the program and made up lor the deficiencies caused by the failure of tho other bands to ap pear. The young Indie are entitled to a substantial recognition for their services and another year they should have, more than their traveling expenses paid. As aiuat ure musicians they displayed con siderable skill and their plaving was well received. Tho management propose to confer ut once with the otllcers of the Puget Sound, Southern Oregon and Calilomia assem blies in regard to jointly seeming lead ing talent for next year's assembly. Tho plan being to get several of the most noted men and women of the East to speak ai our assembly in addition to the local talent. By having the various Coast assemblies on different dates, or at least only lap over each others dates for a few days, the same speakers and instructors can be at each assembly and the best talent in the United States ran be secured at a price that will not fall heavily on the individual assemblies. One of the (actors that tended to cut down the attendance was the fireworks, bicycle races and ether big gatherings in Portland and the camp meetings etc. at other near-by places. Yet while each of these meetiugs hurt the assembly they were injured enough by the Chau tauqua to cause the managements an other year to so manage their dates as not to conflict with the gn at Gladstone gathering. The fact of the case is that the Chautauqua will be so big another year as to completely overshadow any other gathering held in this part of the state while it is in session. In order to avoid clashing with other gatherings next year, it would be well for the directors to decide at the earliest possible moment the date for holding the assembly next summer. Bv a little fore thought and timely work there need not lie a single gathering of any consequence in this part of the stale dui lug the Ch u tauqua assembly. Some complaint was made by speakers and invited guests on the platform dur ing the assembly, tnat on some of the cool evenings there was such a heavy draught across the platlorm that many of them took cold. This trouble could be obviated hereafter by having canvas curtains to hang back of the platform be tween the pillars of the auditorium, which would effectively keep out all cold winds. On hot days or evenings they could be quickly taken down to allow a free circulation of air. The ?ost of these curtains would be but a trifle. The rough, dusty road between the Chautauqua grounds and the Southern Pacific depot was one of the principal factors that prevented that road from se curing its snare ol me inautaiiqua travel. By building a good, broad side walk the company can another year se cure a good part of the Portland and Ore gon City travel to the park, for its cars are far more comfortable than any electric car and in speed they are far ahead, making the trips between the park and Oregon City and Portland in two-thirds the time of the electric cars. While the service, on the whole, of the East Side Railway was very good, yet their rule of only allowing reduced fare to the Chautauqua grounds to those who purchased their tickets at the main of fices, caused a great deal of dissatisfac tion. Notwithbtatiding that the com pany advertised that these half-fare tick ets could only be had at their offices, yet the majority of the people being used to getting on the electric cars at the most convenient point and paying their fare to the conductor, paid littte attention to the announcement, expecting that the re duced rates were good to all who were going to the Chautauqua mec ings re gardless ef where they paid their fares. Another yaar tho company should make some arrangement whereby all passen gers for the park could have the bene fit of the reduced rates, for persons who are forced to pay full rates when others get half rates are not apt to be in the best of humor and frequently do not make the second trip, to the loss of the electric road and the Chautauqua As sembly. As to what people from a distance thought of our assembly, the compliment that President Jordan, of Leland Stan ford University paid us may not be out of place, he having spoken at all the Coast assemblies and many in the East. In speaking of our assembly to Mr. W. C. Johnson, whoso guest he was while in this city.he stated of the assemblies in California, none at their second session, practically being in their infancy, showed more vigor, or posessed more elements of success than did the Willamette Val ley assembly. He was pleased at the attendance and the beauty of the grounds and surprised to find so large and well arranged auditorium. Dr, Gunsaulus, who has spoken at all the great Eastern assemblies, was equally pleased at the flattering prospects of our assembly He was agreeably surprised at the size and enthusiasm of the audience that he found to greet him in this far-off country The other visitors from a distance were also astonished at the success of the as sembly and the flattering prospects there was for its future success. The array of talent gathered at the assembly was such that all Chautau quails u:ay ho proud of. It embraced many of tho brightest and best known men ami women of Oregon, as well as men who rank among the greatest minds of the United States. Many ol the lec tures given were alone worth tho price of a season ticket. The success of tho classes has been such that another year they will become a leading feature of the assembly. Just at the close of the assembly, people began to find out their work and benefit, and next year no difficulty will be ex H'rienccd in filling up the classes ut the first. At the next assembly it is proba ble that the whole forenoon of each Jay will be given over to the classes, so that those taking up the various branches of study may have more time to devote to them. Hit I Id lug Moles. Morrison & Vore, architects now have plans ready for the new Harding-Morey-Waldeu brick on Mam street, and Is ready for bidders.
