CHAUTAUQUA TO
rk
and its p
Two Members, of Original Board
Still Active . and Attendance at
Gladstone Park Grows From
Handful to About 7 0,000.
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!

Cross and Mr, Dye were on the .original
jboard of directors 22 years ago. and
Mr. Cross has been secretary for 17
: years.

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. Asks that rent
be paid, as she has no money. Hus
band left for Alaska three weeks ago,
seeking work, after having been unem
ployed in Portland all Winter.
3. Woman. deserted by husband,
found in great need. Suffering from
tuberculosis in the ankle bones and
unable to work. Has sister In Iowa
who has promised ber a home U she
can be sent back there.
4. Man out of work; woman earning
small wage in a cannery. Oldest girl
must stay at home and care for four
small brothers and sisters. Work is
needed for the man and clothing for
the children.
5. Expert accountant, ont of em
ployment, appealed in desperation to
the Charities. Has been out of work
for a long time and has a family de
pendent upon him.

SIGNALS AROUSE FEARS
SMOKE AD FLASHES OS MOUNT
ST. 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.

INVITATIONS SENT OUT

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.

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.

"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

through the principal of each school,
made by the teachers of each school,
dealing only with those particular
