CHAITUQUAXS AT WORK. Professor Gray Will (Jo to California N This Month. A meeting of the board of directors of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua As sociation was held in the office of Presi dent Miller last Saturday, for the pur pose of outlining the work for the com ing year, to fix the time for the next an nual meeting and transact other busi ness. Professor Gray was selected to go to California to meet coast delegates from other Chautauqua organizations, when a meeting will be held on December 23. The object of this meeting of delegates is to formulate plans for the coming As sembly. It was decided by the board that an effort should be made to secure Dr. Talmage of Brooklyn, and General Gordon of Georgia, for lectures during the session, from both of whom favor able letters have been received express ing their desire to come lo the coast. July 12th next was partially agreed upon as the date for the next meeting ot the Assembly, the session lasting 11 days. This is subject to a change, how ever, pending the result of Professor Gray's mission to California. The secretary and president were au thorized to begin the organization of the classes for the coming assembly. The forenoon will be given up entirely to class work, except when there may be an occasional lecture in line with the fore noon work. This is on account of a gen eral desire upon the part of the Cbau tauquans who wish to devote more time to the serious work of the assembly. The general consensus of opinion among the board ot directors was that there would likely be fewer lectures but of a higher and more satisfactory char acter. They desire that the people of Oregon shall have the opportunity of hearing the brightest aud best speakers in America. In addition to the general features of the Chautauqua assembly an effort will aslo be made to organize an athletic tourn ament, participated in by all the col leges in Oregon. The board is earnestly at work to make the assembly of 1898 the most intellectually profitable one ever held on this coast. Electric Hotel Arrivals.

PERSONAL NOTES. Miss Lydia Gilliam, of Salem, is clerk ing In the Racket store during the holi days. Mrs. II. P. Hawley and her brother, Henry Pusey, visited Barlow relatives last Friday. Attorney George W. Hazen, of Port land was looking after legal matters in this city last Saturday. Julius Priester, ot Maple Lane, one of the republican wheelhorses of the county was an Oregon City visitor Thursday. Joseph 8ch warts, the clothing dealer, has moved into the Purdom cottage on the corner of Adams and Fifth street. W. W. Irvin of Barlow was in this city Wednesday evening. Mr. Irvin is engaged in buying and shipping stock. II. A. Pittinger, formerly in the real estate business in this city, has a posi tion as clerk in the Portland postotllce. Captain S. B. Ornishy was down from Salem last Saturday enjoying the society of Register Moores and Receiver Galla- way. N. O'Conner, who has just completed eight years service in Uncle Sam's army, arrived in the city Tuesday and is visit ing his friend Lawrence May. The Rev. F. C. Butler, a brother of the pastor, preached at the Congrega tional church last Sabbath morning on the "Light Giving Word,'' to a good con gregation. C. P. Bryant, a former representative of the Portland Flouring Mills Com pany of this cuy, now traveling for one of the leading grocery firms of the metropolis, was in Oregon City Tuesday. County Clerk Dixon, who by the way is one of the most successful poultry fanciers in the country, sent a Brown Leghorn cockerel to Moscow, Idaho, Tuesday, to compete for a prize in a chicken show in that city. After being confined to his home for more than two weeks from lagrippe, Mr. E. E. Charman was again at h',t place of business last Wednesday, look- ng some-what pate but determined, if possible, to master the disease. W. B. Partlow, the prince of cider makers, has placed us under obligations again with a generous supply of his finest make. Mr. Partlow's cider is pure, sweet and manufactured from apples that are sound and free from worms. W. II. Counsel!, of Lents, was in the city Wednesday last and reports that a petition for a postoffice at Harmony has been numerously signed and forwarded to the department at Washington. It is said a postotllce at Harmony would be of great convenience to the people of that locality. Rev. II. L. Boardman, president of McMinnville college, occupied the pal pit of the Baptist chursh in this city last Sabbath morning and preached an elo quent sermon on the subject of "Chris tian Education." Under President Board man's direction McMinnville col lege is enjoying one of the most prosper ous years in its history. 8. M. Ramsby has moved in from Molalla and is occupying one of Daniel Williams' cottages on Sixth street. The change is made necessary on the account of Mrs. Ramsby's health, who is suf fering from catarrh of the stomach and is here for medical treatment. It will be pleasing news to her many friends to know that she is gradually improving, with every prospect of a complete restor ation to health. K. H. Gabbert, the well known local man of the Herald, says he has been waiting some years to get rich, when he expected to get married. He has now made up his mind to get spliced as soon as he can get money enough to buy the license and pay the preacher. Judge Schuebel has agreed to perform the cere mony free and County Clerk Dixon is be ing importuned to donate the license, so the ceremony will probably take place about Christmas. To Assist the Sufferers. Senator McBride has introduced in the senate a resolution asking that the gov ernment take immediate steps to assist in transporting supplies into the Klon dike region and providing for an appro piation of not exceeding $250,000 for the purpose. The senator is sparing no ef fort to have something done in the mat ter as early as possible. No definite ac tion has yet been taken by the senate committee, but the matter will, no doubt, be taken up very soon. All cam banished by Dr. Miles' Pain Pills, The Assessment Roll. The following table shows the amount and quality of the promrty from which Clackamas county derives Its reiienua. The assessed valuation is $100,000 higher this year than last, and if the valuation had not been reduced by the board of (Kiualination the principal industries of Clackamas county would probably have been drlyon elsewhere; and cer tainly under such a rate no new Indus tries could be expected to come.

Another murder was committed in San Francisco near the scene of the Minnie Williams and Blanche Lamont murders for which Durrant is to be exe cuted, last Wednesday. The plan of the murder and the circumstances sur rounding it were very similar to those for which Durrant will pay the penalty. The victim is supposed to be Mrs. Mary C. Clute, a wealthy resident of WaUon- vllle, Cala. She had just rented a flat from a Miss Blanchard and the noise of carpet laying was heard In the lower fl it. The tacking ceased and all was quiet for t time; then terrible screams were heard. The occupants of the building bin a me alarmed aud proceeded to investigate, when they saw a man leaving by an al leyway leading to the rear entrance. On going up stairs the dead body was found. The carpet layer has been ar rested and the police are in search of Miss Blanchard. River Improvement. Work on the Upper Willamette from Eugene to Harrisburg, is progressing rapidly under the direction of Captain Freeman, who has the snag boat in charge. All sunken logs and stumps which have interfered with navigation are being dug up. ' Several dikes must be built at various points to create a stronger current of the riyer which will sweep away bars and such obstructions. In all, $19,000 will be expended, and Captain Freeman believes that this will be sufficient to make the rivei navigable at all seasons. Matters In Probate. The following new cases have been filed: R.

A visit to a plate glass works roveals nothing perhaps more interesting than the casting tables on which tlm heavy pluto glass used in most store windows is cast. "The casting tables," said the superintendent of a largo factory, "ure the niont important pieces of apparutus in this establishment. "Each tablo in ubout 20 feet long, 15 feet wide and from 7 to H inches think. The heavy strips of iron on either side of the tables afford a bearing for the rollers n ml determine the thickness or diameter of tho glass to bo cast. "The rough plato i.s commonly nine sixteenths of an inch thick, but after polishing it is reduced to six or seven sixteenths. All castiiif; tables are mount ed on wheels which run ou a track made to reach every furnace and annealing oven in the factory. Tho table having been wheeled uh near as possible to tho melting furnace, a pot of molten glass is liftod by means of a cruno and its contents poured quickly on the tablo. "A heavy iron roller then passes from end to end, spreading tho glass to a uni form thickness. This rolling operation has to bo done by expert hands quickly, as the boiling glass, when it conies in contact with the cold metal of tho tablo, cools very rapidly. When tho rolling process has Leen completed, tho door of I the annealing oven is opened and the j plate of gliins is introduced. "Tho floor of thn lann alinr; even i i on the same level ns thn wheels of tho cust- ' ing table, so that tho trannfer can be made by rail quickly. When t!.e fjlans is ready to bo taken out ot tao oven, its ! surface i very rough, hi tun condition it is used for skylights and other pur poses where strength is desired rather than transparency, but when intended ' ior windows it is ground, smoothed and polished and is then ready for the mar- 1 ket" Boston Globe.
