Twenty-one years ago Mrs. Eva
Emery Dye, Oregon City's well
known writer, as president of a local
Chautauqua reading circle, outlined
the plans of a Chautauqua for Oregon
City, Gladstone and Portland. The
following year this Chautauqua was
held, under most unpretentious cir
cumstances, for the famous railway
strike of 1903 kept all the Eastern tal
ent that had been secured at home
and local platform men and women
filled their places. This coming July,
exactly 20 years later to the month,
the same Chautauqua meets again, in
the same place Gladstone Park and
celebrates its 20th anniversary.
President Fletcher Homan, of Wil
lamette University, heads the assem
bly this year. Hon. C. H. Dye, his
predecessor is vice-president, and
Hon. H. E. Cross, is serving his 18th
year as secretary and manager. The
officers and directors have arranged
a big program for their 1913 session,
which includes such speakers as Col
onel Bain Baumgardt, the great lecturer-traveller;
Maude Willis, one of
the leading interpreters of the drama
on the American platform today; the
original company of the Tyrolean Al
pine Singers,, with their quaint folk
songs and melodies of the Alpine
country; the Sierro Mixed quartette,
one of the foremost musical organiza
tions of the west, vocalists and art
ists of high standing; Ng Poon- Chew,
a Chinese statesman, of. wonderful
education and breadth of though who
speaks on the subject closest to his
heart, the "New Chinese Republic;"
Walt Holcomb, the whirlwind Chau
tauqua orator, incidentally son-in-law
of Sam Jones; Mlatt S. Hughes, a vet
eran of the Chautauqua field, who has
appeared at Gladstone before, and
will speak to five thousand people on
his next appearance; E. G. Lewis of
"University City, Mo.," as he de
scribes himself, the man who made
his "University City" famous; Grace
Lamkin and her "Supervised play,"
an innovation for the children, and a
blessing for the mothers. Miss Lam
kin's work was the sensation of east
ern Chautauquas last year, and she
has been engaged for the complete
assembly, to provide play with a pur
pose, for the children.
Dr. Hinson, of Portland's White
Temple, will be on the grounds the
Whole session and is to conduct the
daily Bible studies. A. biggeer, bright
er man, could not have been selected
for this task. Dr. Hinson has a state
wide reputation as ,an orator and a
deep scholar.
Chautauqua music, always a fea
ture, will be in charge of Prof.. F. T.
Chapman. He will have, in addition
to his large orchestra of twelve
pieces which is to be a daily, feature
of the main auditorium, the services
of many of Portland's leading Vocal
ists throughout the session. Mrs.
Pauline Miller-Chapman will also
take an active part in the Chautauqua
music the coming year.
The state colleges will this year
each have charge of a daily "forum
hour," and several of the leading edu
cational institutions will establish
headquarters on- the grounds. The
Oregon Agricultural College will car
ry on its-extension work, with jracti
cal lecturers along agricultural lines;
the state university will give a course
of free lectures' on economic prob
lems of the country. These talks are
to be given by Dr. James Gilbert of
the economics department of that in
stitution, and a recognized authority
along social and economic lines. "Old
Willamette" will be ably represented
as her president, Dr. Homan, also
heads the Chautauqua.
Arrangements are now being made
for a half hour car service which will
run from Portland directly withii
the park gates each day of the ses
sion. The S. P. trains will also stop
within a stone's throw of the grounds
for the convenience of the patrons
trom tne lower valley. Tent reser
vations to a limited number may be
made at any time for a nominal sum,
and the assembly will also furnish
cots if desired .by any who do1 not
wish to bring their own outfits. The

BERRY STAYS
IN JAIL AWHILE
J. C. Ainsberry, who has been in
and out of jail on various charges
since, May 19, so many times that it
is dazzling to keep track of his rec
ord, was brought before County Judge
Beatie Saturday morning on a yit
of habeas corpus, and ihs freedom
asked by J. E. Hedges, his attorney.
Ainsberry was in custody as a fugi
tive from Wyoming state penitenti
ary, from whence he was charge-1
with having broken. He was also un
der arrest but "released" on $1,300
bonds, for assault with a dangerous
weapon in the course of the Oswego
telephone strike riot May 19.
In view of the fact that Wyoming j
officers are in Portland, and will aslt i
Governor West for extradition' papers
for Ainsberry, Judge Beatie refused
to relefse the prisoner on the writ of
habeas corpus and he was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY SUCCESS
FROM RISE TO FALL OF
CURTAIN AND BETWEEN
CLEVER LINES CAUSE MERRIMENT
Seniors Show Remarbable Talent in
Producing Comedy Filled With
Action and Sprightly
Situations
Over 500 people crowded Shively's
opera house Saturday evening to see
"The Merchant of Venice Up-to-Date,"
the annual senior play, presented by
the graduating class of Oregon City
high school. They were well repail
for their visit, for the amateurs put
on a most creditable production, and
one that reflected well upon the care
bestowed upon the rehearsals by Mrs.
H. P. Cartlidge.
Between the five acts of the pro
duction the school orchestra of eight
pieces rendered many selections. No
attempt was made on part of mem
bers of the other classes to interfere
with the play, as had been expected,
and the sprightly comedy was
brought to its thrilling climax with-
Kout a single hitch. Many local jokes
were mingled in the lines, and when
ever some local character was made
the target of a hit, genrous laughter
and applause showed the apprecia
tion of the audience. The students
themselves, many of whom heard tho
play, seemed to most enjoy the gentle
digs given City Superintendent Tooze
and Professor Pfingsten.
The last act of the production, in
which the football team made its ap
pearance, togged out in all its battle
array, was perhaps the best of all. It
certainly was the most spectacular
and realistic. The fourth act, depict
ing a room in the home of "Portia,""
vas also exceptionally well put on,
and the work of the actors ana act
resses in this received much' ap
plause. The balance of the produc
tion more than fulfilled the evpecta
tions of those who witnessed the per
formance, and the hearty applause
given the performers that their ef
forts were appreciated.
While the work of the entire cast
was very good, speoial mention must
be given Miss Irene Hanny, who as
"Nerissa" scored one of the hits of
the evsning. Her presence was per
fect throughout, her enunciation was
clear and distinct, and never for a
moment did she seem at all self-conscious.
She was completely absorb
ed by her part, and showed remark
able dramatic ability. The "Portia"
of Miss Adah Mass was also particu
larly good. Her lines required a great
deal of effort, and she acquitted her
self nobly. Having perhaps the
leading part in the production a great
deal was required of her, and that
she acquitted herself so well was a
ereat tribute to both her own ability
and to the skill of Mrs. Cartlidge in
coaching and training. Miss Hazel
Mitchell also won much praise for her
clever character work.
Among the boys honors were about
equally divided. The Shylock of Sel
by. Shaver was good, as was the An
tonio of Joe Sheahan. Other mem
bers of the cast handled their parts
capably and effectively.

WELL-KNOWN BLACKSMITH
