LOCAL CHAUTAUQUA
SOQFl 21 YEARS OLD
Birthday to Be Celebrated at
Gladstone Where Original
Assembly Was Held.
RECORD IS REMARKABLE
Sessions last IS Days, 2 Pro
grammes Are Given, More Than
60 Classes Meet and Many
' Events Take Place.
GLADSTONE PARK, June JO. (Spe
cial.) Twenty years' experience In
Chautauqua work at Gladstone Park,
10 miles south of Portland, has con
vinced the directors of the Willamette
Valley Assembly that the Chautauqua
Idea Is one of the greatest thoughts
which ever came to the mind of man.
This Institution, started 21 years ago
by publlo-spirlted men and -women of
Oregon City and Portland, has grown
to immense proportions during the last
10 years, and from July 7 to 19 wiU
celebrate its Zlst birthday in the Identi
cal spot where the original assembly
was held.
The record made by the Gladstone
Chautauqua is all the more remarka
ble for the reason that from the be
ginning the Chautauqua has never
been a commercial Institution in any
sense of the word. The men and women
behind the Chautauqua donate their
services and shoulder the responsibility
for the success of the assembly, and the
thousands who annually throng Into
picturesque Gladstone Park are given
two weeks of ideal entertainment on a
basis of absolute cost. The park itself,
which is undoubtedly one of the beau
ty spots of Oregon, ' consisting of 76
acres of stately pines and firs, has been
donated by the owner for the exclusive
use of the Chautauqua for 60 years that
the institution may more easily realize
- its Ideals.
Purpose Is to Uplift.
'The purpose' of the Chautauqua Is to
uplift; to bring together annually the
big "Chautauqua family" that the
members may enjoy a delightful two
weeks of social contact with the great
est orators, the deepest scholars and
the best entertainers of the day. The
Chautauqua Is not a circus, neither Is it
a theater, nor even a Summer lecture
course. It is not a campmeetlng in
any sense of the word, nor can it Te
called a music festival. And yet It
combines the charm of the circus, the
wit of the stage, the wisdom of the
platform and the eloquence of the pul
pit, with the beauty and healthfulness
of outdoor life. The results can never
be doubted for a moment; a better
if not a bigger citizenship follows the
trail of the Chautauqua, and Its influ
ence in Clackamas County and vicinity
has been widespread.
The officials of the Chautauqua are:
Dr. Fletcher Homan, president; C. H.
Dye, first vice-president; H. B. Cross,
secretary, and E. G. Caufield, treas
urer. The board of directors consists
of C. H. Dye, C. Sohuebel, J. E. Jack,
R. L. Holman, John Loder, O. D. Eby,
H. E. Cross, W. A. Huntley, George A.
Harding, Dr. George Hoeye, all well
known business and professional men
of Oregon City, and Mrs. Sarah A.
Evans, of Portland; L. E. Carter, of
Portland, and W. a Hurst, of Hub
bard. Secretary Crewe In IT Tears.
Dr. Homan, president of Willamette
University, is serving his second term
as pilot of the Chautauqua, while Sec
retary Cross, owner of the park, and
"Father of Gladstone." has been in the
harness at his post off and on for per
haps 17 years since 1898. when the as
sembly was organized. In addition
there are 32 honorary .vioe-presidents
from all sections of Clackamas County
and Portland, who annually put their
shoulder to the wheel with the direct
ors and help make the assembly a suc
cess. This assembly, which, by the way,
can be reached by auto via Clackamas,
by the Southern Pacific and by the
PorUand Railway, Light & Power
Company (the latter company running
cars directly into the park during the
session). Is perhaps the largest Chau
tauqua In the Northwest. The sessions
last 13 days, during which time 26
big programmes are given in the audi
torium, seating 4000 persons; more
than 60 Summer school classes' hours
are held In the mornings, and interest
ing "forum hours" are given from
11 to 12 each day In the main audi
torium. Vital subjects along sootal,
economic, religious and health lines
are discussed at the Summer school
classes by the leading men and women
of Oregon, while the afternoon and
evening programmes'are largely given
over to stellar Chautauqua attractions
from the East. These programmes are
interspersed with plenty of good music
and daily baseball games, while count
less other features, such as physical
culture work, domestic science and art,
demonstrations. kindergarten, fire
works display, etc., give the necessary
variety to a programme of already im
mense magnitude.
Some of the audltoriumeatures this
year will be the famous Dixie Jubilee
Singers; Lochwltzky. the Russian ex
ile, lecturer; Plattenburg, well-known
lyoeura star; Dr. L. G. Herbert, lec
turer; Ash Davis, celebrated cartoon
ist: the Chicago Glee Club; Dr. Edna
Kugenla Lowe, reader and health lec
turer; Dr. Thomas E. Green, lecturer:
Samuel Hill, Oregon's good roads evan
gelist; Professor Lee Maynard Daggy.
lecturer: the Simpson College Com
bined Glee Clubs, consisting of 40
voices: Dr. Fletcher Homan, lecturer;
Kg. Poon Chew, the Chinese orator, and
the' "Chautauqua Chorus."
The camping feature Is one of the
drawing cards of Chautauqua. Tents
may be reserved from the assembly
and rented for the sessioii. An early
prediction would place the tented popu
lation at 1000, or approximately 350
tents.

ORCHARD BLIGHT FOUGHT
Every Tree Taken Out on One Place
Near Snnnyside, Wash.
SUNNTSIDE, Wash., June 20. (Spe
cial.) Heroic measures are being
adopted in the treatment of blight
infected orchards. One of the worst
examples was the pear orchard of W.
Funk, for which he paid about J500
an acre two or three years ago. Every
tree was taken out by the roots.
Another orchardist would not let the
v--- n hi nramises until con
vinced the Government would do the
work and make It cost mm more.
A crowd of about 60 men came from
the upper valley around North Taklma
to help. They pay their own expenses,
but expect to be cared for while here
and donate their work.
Honor Student Gets Appointment.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis, June 20. (Special.)-
R. M. Howard, an honor graduate of
the school of commerce. 1914. has been
appointed instructor in accounting and
ecomonics at the Oregon Agricultural
College. Mr. Howard Is one of six
brothers who have completed a degree
course at this school, one other being
a member of this year's class in agri
culture. Egff Mercnant Is Arrested.
John G. Sherod. a Union-avenue egg
merchant, was arrested yesterday on
a charge of selling Chinese eggs as
Oregon ranch eggs to E. L. Fyrhie, of
the Yamhill Sanitary Market. The ar
rest was made by C. W. Robinson, dep
uty State Food and Dairy Commis
sioner. 6herod was put under 200
bond to answer in the District Court.
for the affections of his pretty sister-in-law
or for the insurance money
which he had transferred to his wife's
name, Edward Bossen will be convicted
upon circumstantial evidence. Such
was the admissions derived from the
District Attorney's questioning of 24
prospective jurors in the Circuit Court
today.
Many Jurors were dismissed for
cause when they stated that they
would not be willing to convict on
such evidence. Others were dismissed
for . cause on the ground that they
did not believe in capital punishment
The first witness who will be exam
ined on Monday will be W. F. Walker,
the Springfield undertaker who burled
Mrs. Bossen, and who exhumed her
body twice. Following him, the Cor
oner, whose Jury returned a verdict
that Mrs. Bossen had died from poison,
and that the testimony pointed toward
the husband as the source, will be ex
amined. Thomas Bossen is a timber cruiser
who lived on a small farm near Spring
field with his young wife and nine-months-old
child. The wife died sud
denly on March 20. Others living in
the house were awakened early in the
morning by sobs of the woman. They
found Bossen attending her, and heard
her dying accusation that Bossen poi
soned her.
The body was burled without an in
quest, but the following day, based
upon suspicious circumstances, the Dis
trict Attorney ordered the body ex
humed. Bossen was then arrested.
The motives suggested are that he
was infatuated with Dollle Levins, sis
ter of the dead wife, and that he sought
the Insurance which had been trans
ferred to his name two days before her
death.
The resutt of the whole day s trial
was the selection of only seven Jurors.
When the entire Jury panel was ex
hausted court was adjourned late this
afternoon and the Sheriff ordered a
special venire of 20 men on hand on
Monday.
The attorneys do not expect a Jury
selected before noon Monday.

PILOT ROCK PIONEER
SELLS BIG WHEAT FARM
Addison C. Henderson, Who Settled in District 35 Years Ago, Has Watched
Growth of Farming Section-Cottage Only Property Not Sold.
PILOT ROCK, Or., June 20. (Spe
cial.) When George Perringer.
Umatilla County "Wheat king,"
purchased the large Henderson holdings
recently the sale removed from here
a pioneer who has watched the develop
ment of this section of the state since
1878.
Addison C. Henderson, born in Guern
sey County, Ohio, In 1S37, has reached
the age of 77 years. He went to Cal
ifornia during the Civil War when a
young man. He crossed the Isthmus of
Panama and landed at San Francisco.
While there he heard of a gold strike
In Idaho and went to the new Eldo
rado, but. not finding things up to
expectations, he returned to Portland,
through which he had passed on his
trip northward. This trip was by stage
and pack train and one of the stops
was at Pendleton village.
Mr Henderson taught school for sev
eral years in Linn County following
his return from Idaho. While in
Brownsville he was marrieo, in 1869.
Two sons were born. Caz, the elder.
Is now married and was associated with
his ftther until the sale of their land.
Lloyd, the second son, also was con
nected with his father's business. Five
grandchildren have been taught to lisp
the names of Grandpr. and Grandma
Henderson. All are located tempora
rily In Pendleton.
When Mr. Henderso: came to Pilot
Rock he followed his vocation of teach
ing school at flrst. Seeing the possibil
ities of this Bectlon, later he ran cat
tle for a time and commenced to ac
quire land holdings. After disposing of
his cattle he was in the sheep business
for some time and finally, when his
boys became large enough to help him,
he began to farm on an extensive scale.
At the time his wheat ranch was
sold there were 1200 acres in the tract
All that Is left to bind them to the
district which has been home for so
many years Is a little cottage on Birch
street, where Mr. and Mrs. Henderson
have lived for many years.

the case of Thomas Russell-, charged
with assault with attempt to kill. He
appeared slightly nervous. A character
istic of his imprisonment has been the
apparent indifference to .a charge
with which he is accused. This, his
friends declare. hs been an evidence,
not of indifference, but of stoicism
characteristic of the Bossen family.
The courtroom was filled with peo
ple all day today, and among the spec
