The Jlst anniversary of the Wil lamette Valley Chautauqua Assembly auspiciously opened this afternoon at 2 o'clock before a first-day audience of 1500 people. The afternoon feature was the eloquent address of Dr. Fletcher Homan, president of Willamette Uni versity and president of the Chautau qua. Fair skies smiled on Gladstone Park today and the tent colony, nestling among the giant firs, presented a pic turesque scene. There are more tents on the grounds this year than ever be fore and almost 1000 Chautauquans have stolen away from home and busi ness cares to enjoy the 13-day as sembly. Dr. Homan was received warmly In bis opening address. "We welcome you," said the speaker, "to a jolly good time, to a release from care and to the renewal and making of friendships. The Chautauqua is to pro mote truth, a place where honest men speak, out of honest hearts to searchers after truth; truth clothed in wit, in wisdom, poetry, and prose, in music and in picture, garbed in charming array on this Chautauqua platform. "Governmental and political wrongs have received their deathblows here, and ever will. It is the forum of the world's reformers. The face of evil is hideous, but the face of truth Is glo rious. All Things, AU Classes Exalted. "The Chautauqua exalts humanity, the man, the maker, the inventor, the toller, the thinker, the soul of the world." W. S. U'Ren, of Oregon City, re sponded to Dr. Homan's remarks, em phasizing the idea that the Chautauqua Idea enforced the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.

Sheriff Taylor fears he Is not going to have enough to go round. It also became evident today that there is going to be some dissension over the 32000 reward for the capture of the men. It seems that S. T. Booth and W. L Powers, of La Grande, were with Batchelor when he made the ar rest, while still another man claims to have tipped off to them the presence of the robber suspects.
