annual event, as an outcome of

to Ban Francisco. .The. latter la known
throughout the entire United States,

and- their friends. . It is proposed to
make the Hood River event available

ern slope of Mount Hood and the best
musical talent in Oregon will be drawn
upon annually for the event. A dis
tinctive name win be adopted at the

River, hidden away In the depths of
a massive forest. The turbulent Hood
River forms the western boundary' of
the encampment and within easy walk
ing distance are many excellent trout
streams. To the hardened pedestrian
the tramp to Cloud Cap Inn is no task
at all. The Chautauqua Association
has installed Its own electric lighting
system and in the center of the forest
has constructed an open-air. theater
that is a delight to all beholders. Two
immense firs form a natural proscenium
arch for the stage. The latter is com
pletely equipped with footlights, bor
der lights and everything elwe known
to the profession. For what is known,
In theatrical parlance, as the "back
drop," the natural forest scene Is used.
