OREGON CITT. Or., June 20. (Spe cial.) In the Spring of 1892 a group of pioneer business and professional men of Oregon City launched a Chautauqua. The assembly was held at Gladstone, two miles north' of Oregon City, the following Summer. That was the start and certainly a modest one for the . old-timers hereabouts say the affair lasted two or three days, a handful of people attended, and the gate receipts were a negligible quantity. Two weeks from i.jxt Tuesday this same association will hold its 22d an nual assembly, in the same location, and with several of the same directors who helped start off the infant . its ..perilous Journey through the ups and downs of Chautauqua life. Among these ' are H. E. Cross, the present secretary; , C. H. Dye, the vice-president, and George Harding, pioneer merchant. The coming session will last 13 days. Twenty-six programmes will be carried :-. out in the main auditorium, seating 4000 i people. Summer school classes will be . held each morning, interesting forum . hours and countless other features will si be given, and it is not improbable that --: the combined audiences will reach 70,000. Portland Sends 40OO. Some 4000 Portlanders belong to the big Chautauqua family for such it is. Tear after year these folks, with twice as many scattered throughout Clacka- mas County, plan for their annual pil f grimage. to Gladstone, either to spend j an occasional day at Chautauqua or to : join in the big "tent" city of campers on the ground. Chautauqua has become b. part of their life, and they never ' miss it- And so tbey build their plans, .' and year after year finds them t Chau- Uuqua enjoying the most idl vaca :' tion imaginable' in . one of the most : beautiful spots of Oregon, at the threshold of Portland, for sueh is Glad- stone Park. Nature surely smiled on Gladstone , Park. Seventy-five acres of stately firs, ;: rising td a height in many places more than 100 feet, with a velvety carpet of ' thick moss and grass, lend a most pic ... turesque touch to the natural wildness of the tract, which has been preserved. It is given over exclusively to the . Chautauqua, and. aside from the two weeks' assembly each year, God's han- dtwork remains undisturbed. H. E. Cross is the owner of the beautiful tract, and many years ago leased it to ' the Chautauqua for 50 years for $1 be ;. cause he believed in the Chautauqua '. '-. idea. Saccni la "Worn. The early history of Chautauqua was ' exciting, to say the least. The backers ; stood at their post through thick and .- thin, and not so many years ago Chau ' tauqua began to pay expenses. Today the institution is in a most flourishing condition, with a. neat little sum tucked away in the treasury. It is not, how ever, nor has it ever been, a money .; making institution. The Chautauqua is . for all, rich and poor alike, and charges ; are madeon a cost basis, that the man of meager means may have the same : opportunity as his more fortunate brother. If the Chautauqua pays ex penses, well and good; if there is a sur : plus it Is laid away for a- rainy day; If there is a deficit well, the old faith ; fuls get their heads together, dig up , the necessary sum, and trust to luck ; that the next year will bring better ; results. t The board of directors are all busy I .men and women, yet ready to sacrifice .! their time and money if necessary when called upon to do so. They are: H. li. Cross, C. H. Dye, Emma M. Spooner. J. E. Jack, George A. Harding, Chris Schuebel, R. L. Holman, John W. Loder Dr. George Hoeye, Mrs. A. E. Manley! E. Kenneth Stanton, V. A. Olmstead. . . A. Huntley, James G. Kelly. H. E Cross and Mr, Dye were on the .original jboard of directors 22 years ago. and Mr. Cross has been secretary for 17 : years. Attractions Are Kiamn.

Destitution is no respector of race, color or previous condition, as the workers of the Associated Charities are finding out daily from contact with the varied procession of applicants for as sistance that passes through their of fices in the Commercial block. Negroes, Italians, Greeks, Americans and many other nationalities and races are repre sented and the procession is longer this Summer than it has been for years. The Cha.rities is handling; principally the cases of families that are in mis fortune, deserted women with families and widows who are in need of help to care for their children. The fund donated toward the main tenance of the work of the Charities this Summer has reached $1800. The Charities estimates that to keep the work of relief going throughout the Summer $5000 will be required. It had been decided, owing to lack of funds, to close the office during the Summer and not reopen until October 1, but the insistent demands for help that came to the Charities made it necessary to try to continue the work through the Summer. Accordingly, the campaign for $5000 was begun. The transient relief organizations that sprang into existence In the Christmas season suspended their work months ago, and the full burden has fallen upon the established organiza tions and especially upon the Associat ed Charities. Some of the cases that were handled lnthe work Sunday were: 1. A family of colored people, four children, appeal is for work. Both man and woman honest and reliable; man a good janitor and the woman an excel lent cook. Need for -work great. 2. Woman with two children, ex pecting another soon.

HELENS ARE SEEN. Witnesses of Heliograph Signs Made by Parties on Peak Have Visions of Volcanic Disturbances. Clouds of smoke and lightning-like flashes from Mount St. Helens yester day afternoon aroused fears In the hearts of a number of Portland resi dents who unwittingly witnessed the heliograph antics of parties of moun tain climbers on St. Helens and Hood. Through the clear air the mountains were distinctly visible in all their pris tine glory shortly after noon. Suddenly a brilliant flash from St. Helens was followed by a mysterious cloud of smoke, and some who saw it Immedi ately conjured up visions of volcanic disturbance on the historic old peak. There were hundreds of mountain gazers, and as a result there were hun dreds of Individual fears throughout the early part of the afternoon. The remarkably clear atmosphere made the smoke and the flashes fascin ating, however. St. Helens is covered with an immaculately white blanket of enow,-except in the one place where a jagged cliff projects its black nose skyward, and the heavy black smoke from the signal squad showed up plain ly on the mountain side after each sig nal. A number of signals were executed during the afternoon. Grandtiew Motor Tourists Start. GRAND VIEW, Wash.. June ' 20. (Special.)

The Open-Air JUDGE ASKS ADVICE Juvenile Court Jurist Sets Meeting at Library. INVITATIONS SENT OUT Schoolteachers and Principals and Members of Parent-Teacher Associations Requested to Help Outline Plan. Advice from the public is to b sought by Judge Cleeton, of the juvenile department of the Circuit Court, be fore he maps out a policy to be pur sued in his department. Judge Clee ton has invited school principals and teachers and the public generally to meet with him Thursday afternoon at the Public Library at 4 o'clock. The purpose is' to glean ideas from school teachers and members of Parent Teacher Associations as to handling children in the school and in the home, and also to get the co-operation of all agencies in reducing the delinquency 6f children to a minimum. Letter Sent Out. ' In a letter to the teachers and parent-teacher circles Judge Cleeton wrote: "A brief outline of my idea Is that the county and city should be divided into as many units as there are school houses, and that the principal of each school should be the head of the ur.it, and the principal could secure the co operation of each teacher in that school, and each teacher's field of work would be the pupils under his or her care, who might in their home life need tne influence of other agencies outside the home. "The Juvenile Court could.be ad vised in this way of the needs of these particular children and particular homes, and in conjunction with the Parent-Teacher Association, could set in motion certain influences which would reach these homes either direct ly or indirectly. "It is not my desire to try to lm- HO MORE CONSTIPATION What Internal Bathing Is Doing for Humanity The noted specialists of the medical world have recently sounded 10 universal a warning against accumulated waste in the Lower Intestine that newspapers throughout the country have taken it up and published detailed reports of their re searches and operations. The New York Times tells of a case where a child had what was believed to be an incurable form of Tubercular joint disease. Waste in the Large Intestine had o affected it that all but nine inches were removed. "The result was astonishing in week's time, the internal organs re sumed all their normal functions, and in a few weeks the patient was apparently ta perfect health." Publicity of this kind has to awakened the public that over three hundred thou sand are now using Internal Baths to keep the Lower Intestine free from this poison ous waste. By means of the "J. B. L. Cascade," the cientinc appliance for Internal Bathiag, Nature is gently assisted in keeping the Colon absolutely clean with pure warm water. . Constipation, which leads to so snany dangerous ailments, is impossible, and yon are kept regular. Just try an Internal Bath with the "J. B. L. Cascade" and see how clear, buoyant and able yoa feel next morning in other words, it will add 50 per cent, to your ef ficiency and health, just as it has to the great army who are now using it.

Efficient." va 5 . &-r pose upon the teachers, who are usual ly over-worked, any additional burdens, but to give each one an opportunity to do as much as he or she may desire to do in this line of educational and pre ventive work. "Acting along this line of suggestion I have thought that a committee from the Parent-Teacher Association for each of those units or schools, to assist in the work, would be a valuable ad junct and a system of reports coming through the principal of each school, made by the teachers of each school, dealing only with those particular cases which the Juvenile Court should know about, would enable the court to work intelligently and comprehensively along the line of educational and pre TR AVEL THE SAFE W $52.25 to San Diego and Back SUMMER EXCURSIONS EAST Tickets to Eastern Points on sale daily via California with stop-overs in either direction to visit the expositions.
