Coming Intereiting Musical
Program U Mapped Out -by
Director.
There's a minister down at Salem
who is the right sort, a healthy mind
in a sound body, one would judge from
the following letter from him receiv
ed by Secretary Cross of the Willam
ette Valley Chautauqua assembly:
Salem, Or., May 11, Hon. H. E.
Cross. Dear Sir and Bro: Hurrah
for Gladstone Park, July 9-21.' Count
on me for anything I can do to help
along the Assembly this year. I will
gladly distribute any literature you
may send and will also "talk" Chau
tauqua from the pulpit
If there is anything I can do at this
end of the line just write me. With
hearty good wishes for a "greater than
ever Assembly, I am, very sincerely,
F. E. DELL.
Pastor First Congregational church.
P. S. Don't forget to put in plenty
of baseball when arranging program.

tract with Dr. John Roach Straton of
Chicago, a noted platform orator who

Burdette, Senator Elmer J. Burkett
and Governor Henry A. Buchtel, yet

patriotic so he introduced an ordi

a series of revival meetings at Eola.
When they went to Eola, the ICth of

in the community, but during the more
than three-weeks' meetings 55 were
converted, not including reclaimed
backsliders and several joined tho
clas. Of the 55 converts very few
were children, but many were middle
aged and old people. It was a sweep-
fountain in Knapp park, and did con
siderable minor business in the inter
vals. Fountain in Knapp Park.
George A. Harding, representing
the County Humane society, presented
the matter of the fountain. He re
ferred to the one erected at Seventh
and Main streets by the society, and
said the society now had a little .sur
plus money and would erect a foun
tain in Knapp park at Center and

half the cost. The council voted un
animously to accept the proposition
and pledged the city for half the cost

on each of us. lie Impressed me as
a fine type of the New England
American in the prime of his powers,
unaffected and sturdy, with a charm
ing twinkle of dry humor. The final
evening which we passed together
around a delightful board where there
was a good company und plenty, of
soda water, I said to him: "Tho
Republicans will nominate you for
Governor of New York, Mr. Hughes.
They don't want to, but thyy will have
to. They can elect nobody else. Now,
when you get .to Albany give your
days and nights to a close study of the
career of Samuel J. Tllden,' becauHG
you will stand precisely In tho rela
tion to the Presidential Domination
of 1908 on the Republican side which
OREGON CITY
OREGON
kUStosBiKsaawssBGasnsi
Mr. Tl!dn stood to on tho Democratic
side In 1870, The Issue which made
Tllden tho Democratic Governor made
him tho Democratic Presidential nom
Ineo. , The Issue ' which Is going to
make you a Republican Governor of
New York, will make you tho Republican-nominee
for President. They will
no more want you for President than
they now want you for Governor. But
they'll have to lake you, ' The issue of
tho tlmo nnd the situation of the party
will forco them."
Governor Hughes seems to havo
learned the Tllden lesson pretty well
alrendy and tho rout will tuke care of
ItHolf. -Here then la my gueaa of tho
Republican ticket in 1SI08:
For President,
CHARLES 10, HUGHES, of Now York.
