talented reader and she interpreted the
tragedy with a delicacy and a finish
seldom equaled.
T.Irs. Carter, who head3 the elocution
department of the Chautauqua, is pos
sessed of unusual dramatic Instinct, and
lias that (rreat rarity, a beautiful
speaking voice, perfectly modulated.
Her work convinced the big Chautau
qua family that she Is a real artist.
About 2000 people enjoyed Mrs. Car
ter's interpretation.
One of the eloquent addresses of to
day was that of rr. Fletcher Homan,
of Willamette University, on "Power

"These men all university men," said
Dr. Homan, "crowned the mountain
peaks of moral and religious reform,
and they were all religious men."
The doctor showed that in modern
timet, too, al! leaders in public life
and public reform movements, are men
from Christian colleges. He paid a
glowing tribute to Oregon's fine old
school, Willamette University. Dr.
Homan had a fine audience of appre

Notables Attend Reception to Miss
Anne Shannon Monroe.
The shifting of the scenes and nu
merous star attractions at the Shakes
peare headquarters at Chautauqua
Friday afternoon reminded one of a
"movey." or rather of a "talkey." First
came the social committee of the State
Woman's Tress Club to complete the
arrangements for a reception to one of
their members. Miss Anne Shannon
Monroe, who has just returned from
an extended sojourn in the Fast and
who won many laurels while away.
The armfulls of packages brought In
were simply the makings of a strictly
temperate punch and the wherewithal
to serve it.
Then came a message from the guest
of honor that she had been kidnaped
on the way and carried off to attend a
luncheon given by the Birthday Club
at the home of Mrs. Reefenberg, but
with assurances that she and her sis
ter, Mrs. Leon Story, would arrive
later.
In the meantime N Poon Chew, the
renowned Chinese statesman, was cap
tured, by Mrs. Bertha Taylor Voorhorst
and escorted to the reception, which
was presided, over by Mrs. Julia C
LeBarre and Mrs. Townsend, resident
hostesses, assisted by Mrs. Colista M
Dowllng, president of the Woman's
Tress Club, and other members In-

Frances F. Gottshall. " Ng Poon Chew
responded in a happy vein to the
hearty greetings, of the members and
guests; then Professor Ralph D. Het
Kel, of the extension division of Ore
gon Agricultural . College, was hurried
across- from the . demonstration booth
opposite, and shaded the honors with
Ng Poon Chew. Mrs. Andrew Kan
also was numbered among the guests
Mrs. Eva Lmery Dye, of Oregon City,
was- then ushered into the central cir
cle and Mr. Hetzel and Mr. Ng hurried
away to catch a train tor Albany,
where . they are to appear on another
Chautauqua programme. Mrs. Dye .was
prevailed upon to tell something of her
acquaintance with Miss Monroe, which
she did in, a very charming manner and
by special request gave a brief synop
sis of a new book she is writing; deal
ing with the early history and romance
of Hawaii and the Pacific Coast.
Mrs. Manly then gave a sketch of
her recent trip abroad and in the
midst of it Miss Monroe 'arrived. OI
course Miss Monroe was called upon
to give an aeccount of herself and her
work. . .
Some of the quetions puto her were'
"How did you get your stuff accepted?"
"When you first commenced to write
did your manuscripts come back?"
Very modestly rMiss Monroe attributed
her success, to the fact that Eastern
publishers are looking for strictly
Western matter" and, as she happened
in Just at the right time with the
Western viewpoint, she was taken up

provided she would make it elht In

looked over some of hcr manuscripts,
chose what he could use and sent her
to the particular editor whom he knew

itors for the real Western viewpoint
that one of them ordered Miss Monroe
back to the West instanter, saying:
you stay here you will get the Kastcrn

West and keep in touch with the life
of the people. Stay away from "the
wholly artificial conditions you will

TILLAMOOK FOLK ON WATCH
County Turns Out En Masse to Ob
serve Engagement, Which Proves
Spectacular Event of In
struction Period.
CAMP WEST. Near Tillamook, Or..
July 12. (Special.) Battle maneuvers.
In which the Third Oregon Infantry
was divided and thrown into action as
opposing forces, brought to tn end to
day, the field exercises in the annual
camp of instruction. The maneuvers,
in which blank ammunition was used
to give a practical turn to the tactics,
brought into play the lessons in mili
tary science learned during the whole
week.
Defense of 500 prisoners, captured
from the invading army and held near
Camp West, was the tactical coup
undertaken by two battalions under
Majors Bowman and Smith, the third
battalion, under Major Abrams, being
on the defensive.
In this engagement the value of
tactics and of playing the game with
careful 'and skillful regard for the
niceties of combat were emphasized
strongly. By careful dispositions the
defending force occupied a position
from which the heavier fire of the at
tacking battalions failed to dislodge
It- The convoy of theoretical prisoners
was pronounced safe and the attacking
force repulsed after several hours of
maneuvering and fighting. Major
Abrams, in working out the tactical
problems of defense, was assisted by
Captain Staeey of the United States
Army, Lieutenant-Cnlonel Morrison
being with the other force.
Tillamook County turned ' out en
masse to observe the engagement which
was the spectacular event of the in
struction period. Several thousand peo
ple flanked the two forces and ob
served the mechanism of a firing line
in action. Renewed rainfall during the
forenoon ,was not permitted to inter
fere with the combat.
Late this afternoon the regiment was
reviewed by General Charles F. Beebe,
of Portland, a veteran National Guard
officer. The improvement that has oc
curred in the regiment during the
week under canvas was apparent as
the battalions passed in review.
Tomorrow the regiment will be
mustered out and paid. Religious serv
ices will be held at 11 A. M. by Chap
lain Gilbert and in the afternon a field
athletic meet is planned by the en
listed men. Camp will be broken at
daybreak Monday morning. The regi
ment will entrain in three sections, the
first section leuving at 6 A. M. and the
other two following at Intervals of two
hours. The six Portland companies will
reach the armory early in the after
noon. Tonight private Charles Green, of
Orefon City, was taken to the camp
hospital with symptoms that suggested
smallpox although this diagnosis has
not yet been made. He promptly was
placed in isolation and his case, taken
under observation.
