Hoard of Director He ran Preparation
for the Assembly oMSttH.
Monday afternoon the annual meeting
of the board of director of the Willam
ette Valley Chautauqua Asaociation waa
held at the office of the secretary, C. If.
Dye. There were present I'reaident K.
A. Miller; Secretary, C. II. Dye; and
directors, J. T. Aoeron, II. E. Crow,
F.. Yj. Charman and Charles Moaerve,
The annual report of Secretary Dye waa
auhrnitted as waa also that of Treaaurer
I) C. Latourette. Ikdh reorta on
motion were referred to the finance com
miitee for auditing.
I'rof. J. W. Gray having heen elected
aecretary at the itock holders Dieetinit in
July, the hooka were turned over to him
hy the outgoing secretary, C. II. Dye,
and he asHtinied the dutiea of the ollice.
The lertna of the executive and finance
cuiutuitleea having expired by limitation,
on motion, President Miller, Secretary
Oray and E. E. Charman were elected
members of the executive committee and
Capt. Aperaon, G. A. Harding and II.
K. Cross were chosen as members of the
finance comniitt e. The executive com
mittee were authorixed to begin at once
to aecure platform talent and a leader for
the round table department and teachers
for the various classes for the assembly
to be held next July at Gladstone park.
It waa the desire of the board that the
best talent attainable should be had for
the next assembly and to accomplish
this end is why the aecuiiim of contracts
waa undertaken at this time instead of
wailing until spring as heretofore.
The association, aa shown by the
treasurer's reort, is in better financial
condition than at any time since its or
ganization and will be able to undertake
t lie work of (he next assembly with an
assurance of making it the most success
ful assembly yet held by theasoociation.
Below ia given the secretary's report
in full, show ing the receipts and exen
datures for the past year and the pie
sent financial condition of the asaocia
tion as also the improvements madea to
the grounds and other matters of inter
est to the stockholders and friends of
the association.
aKCBKTARY's ANNUAL BRPOKT.
To the Hon. Board or Dibkctoks or tiis
W. V. C. A. Gentlemen: '
I have the pleasure to report that the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua Associa
tion has closed another prosjierous year.
While the Chautauqua cannot boast of
any boom In its work it lias passed a
crucial point, and considering the con
tinued financial depression and the rival
attraction of the Endeavor convention
offering a cheap trip to California and an
attractive program, the success has been
very gratfying. The indebtedness of the
association, amounting with accrued in
terest to the sum of $335 92, has been
entirely wiped out and a water tank,
costing with foundation, connections,
etc., about $210, has been put in besides
other improvements more or less perma
nent, amounting to at least f 100 more.
In addition to th s we have paid for our
lights in cash instead of slock as was
formerly done. All this has been done
besides furnishing the most expensive
program in the history of this association
and a balance of $74. 32 remained in the
tressury September 1, with all bills paid
except two or three minor matters not
yet adjusted by the board. Onr total
receipts for the year were $3,316.04, of
wnicii n.e.i.L'U belong to last year s ac
count, leaving our net receipts for this
year $3177 74 from all sources. The total
disbursements to September 1st was
$3242.02 leaving the balance of $74.32
aforementioned The association con
ducted twenty classes each day during
its assembly of 11 days, which wre well
attended. Private instruction was also
qiven in several branches. No individual
class was as large as some last year but
the aggregate attendance in class work
was nearly double any previous year.
The classes in elocution, music,
American history, English liter
ature and bible attracted the
laigest attendance. This is the first
year that the study of the bible has been
in the hands of a specialist and the re
sults were most gratifying. The Round
Table programs also proved to be pleas
ing features carried on with enthusiara
and deserving the highest commendation.
Four concerts, fifteen lectures, two
readings and two miscellaneous programs
were given on the main platform in the
afternoon and evening and the 11 o'clock
hour was filled with lectures and enter
tainments by local talent, except in the
case of Joaquin Miller. This exception
and some other pleasing programs
proved that attractive talent will draw
in the morning as well as in the after
noon. On the whole the main platform
was stronger than ever before. Our
weakest point was in the athletic field.
Tiiose in charge did the best they could
with the means at hand yet I am fully
convinced that that part of the work
must be greatly strengthened in the fu
ture. The Chautauqua's mission is to
encourage that which is healthful and
ennobling in all lines and to aid in de- j
veloping the man in every part of his i
nature. It is not simply to furnish enter
t.'iinment and amusement but its purpose
Is higher. It is in its province to encour
age healthful athletic sports while seek
ing to eliminate from them those features
which tend toward moral degradation.
The only way this can be done is to put
this department into the bands of some
one who is competent and in sympathy
with the Chautauqua idea of athletic
sports and allow him sufficient latitude
and money to carry out a comprehensive
plan that will enlist the college and Y.
M. C. A. athletea of the state. If prop
erly managed this will more than pay its
own way. If the program planned by
the committee this year had been carried
out it would have been a profitable in
vestment for the association.

bursements is as follows :

WedJinirs of Well-known People.
The marriage of Miss Myrtie M. A p per
son to Roswell LConner was solemnized
at the residence of the bride's parents in
McMinnville, Mr.and Mrs. A. J. Apper
son, on Wednesday, September 1st. by
Rev. E. E. Thompson, pastor of the I
Cumberland Presbyterian church of
that city. The bride was a former resi
dent of this city and a niece of Capt.
J. T. Apperson, who with Mrs. Apper
son, was in attendance at the wedding.
Prof. I. M. Glen, of the Stafe univer
sity, who had charge of the class in
American literature during the Chau
tauqua assembly, was united in marriage
with Miss JulU G. Veazie at the home
of the bride near Dallas, on Tuesday,
August 31. Pres. H. L. Boardman, of
McMinnville college, officiating. The
happy couple passed through Oregon
City Friday morning for their future

Lydell Baker, of Portland, clerk of the
state railroad commission, left Monday
night for Pittsfield, Illinois, where on
Thursday, September 30, he will be
united in wedlock to Miss Mirreless, a
beautiful and accomplished daughter of
a highly respected and honorable
family.
The True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111.,
"Chief" says, "We won't dep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds. Experi
mented with many others, but never got
the true remedy until we used Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other
remedy can take its place in our home,
as in it we have a certain and sure cure
for coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc."
It iB idle to experiment with other
remedies, even if they are urged on
you as just as good as Dr. King's New
Discovery. They are not as good, be
cause this remedy has a record of cures
and besides is guaranteed. It never
fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at
Charman & Co's drug store.

SCHOOL AS10TJCEHEXT.
Divisional Lines Arranged by Superin
tendent Mr-ldam.
The apportionment of popils between
the Barclay and the Easlham school for
the school year beginning on the 13th
inst., will be as follows:
All pupils of the high school and gram
mar pupils of the eight grade will attend
at the Barclay school.
Of the other grammar grades and the
primary grades, those pnpils whose
houses are below the bluff or north of a
line extending from the head of Seventh
street steps along the middle of said
street to J. Q. Adams street; thence
along the middle of this street to Ninth
street ; thence along the middle of Ninth
street to Harrison street; thence north
eastward along the middle of Harrison
street to the boundary of the school dis
trict. Pupils belonging to either of the seven
lower grades whose homes are sooth of
the divisional line described above will
attend at the Eastham school.
While this plan of apportionment will
generally prevail, yet in order that the
work of parallel grades in the two
schools may be equalized, pupils will be
transferred across this divisional line as
the best interest of the school mar de
mand. This arrangement will secure a repre
sentation of all grades at the Barclay
school, and of the primary and all
grammar grades, except the eight at the
Eastham, and will enable all pupils,
with few exceptions, belonging to either
of the seven lower grades to attend the
nearer and more accessible school.
Parents and guardians are urged to
to have their children or wards enter
school on next Monday, or as soon there
after as may be possible, and continue
regular in attendance throughout the
year as otherwise the best results can
rarely be attained.
Pupils wishing to take examination for
promotion to the eighth, the ninth or the
tenth grade should report, with their
lunches, at the Barclay school on next
Monday morning at 9 o'clock.

Fireman's Touratiameiit Off.
The proposed fireman's tournament,
to be held at The Dalles the last of Sep-:
tember, has been declared off, owing to
the lack of funds, and the little interest
manifested in it by the different com
panics.
One after another of the companies
who should have joined in this meet
communicated with Tbe Dalles commit
tee, declining to participate, so those
who had the matter in hand threw up
the sponge and it was decided not to
hold a tournament this year.
