OREGON CITY, Or., June 30. (Spe cial.) The coming session of the Wil lamette Valley Chautauqua, which opens July 10 at Gladstone Park, will mark the passing of one of Oregon's famous landmarks. The old audi torium, erected 24 years ago, is to be abandoned, and the big programmes are to be held in a new 96000 edifice, which workmen are rushing to comple tion. Nearly a quarter of a century ago the old auditorium was built by the Chautauqua Association, some members of which are still on the board of di . rectors and are actively at work in looking after the construction of the present building. President C. H. Dye and ex-Secretary H. E. Cross are two of these members. The old building has stood well the tests of time. -Year after year since 1893 the "Chautauqua family." consist ing of several thousand Portland and Clackamas County folk, have gathered in the structure each July, and fhe old, time-worn platform, now creaking with age, has been the scene of some notable gatherings. Keed of Greater Hall Apparent. There Is a fine sentiment in connec tion with the old auditorium, not only among the directors, who hesitate to tear it down, but among thousands of people of the community, who have time and again heeded the call of the "gong" and turned their footsteps in among the benches to hear the inspira tional words from America's great men and women. With the Increasing Interest in the old pioneer assembly, however, has come the general demand for larger and more commodious quarters. At the last assembly a year ago this was strongly apparent, and strongly em phasized among the Chautauqua pa trons. One warm July evening a heart-to-heart talk was indulged in among the members of the Chautauqua family, and in a few short minutes nearly $2000 had been subscribed for a new build ing. This has practically all been paid in to Secretary Burke the past six months. Record Year Is Expected. Chautauqua is a part of the local life and hundreds each year mors into the park for the big 13-day assembly, simply as matter of routine of every day life. Dozens who have been there practically every year in the last 24 have again written the secretary to "hold their tent sites," or to reserve a "lJxl4." Visitors - from afar and men and women who follow Chautauqua work say that with the possible exception . of the "Mother Chautauqua" at Chau tauqua Lake, N. Y., there is not an other Chautauqua in the whole United States where such a splendl-i spirit of loyalty and co-operation exists. If the new building can be finished, and workmen are going ahead with all possible speed to have it in readi ness, the coming assembly will be the banner year of all Building to Cost SS00O. ' The new structure Is costing about 16000. It is patterned generally after the famous Mormon tabernacle, is elliptical in shape, and the roof sup port consists altogether of overhead bridge work. A fine big stage, with dressing-rooms beneath, comfortable new benches, a new lighting plan. and many other features will be en joyed when the building is completed. The seating capacity will be between 4500 and 6000, which is an increase of at least 1500 over the old building. Chautauqua life at Gladstone, how ever, means much more than the en joyment of the afternoon and evening programmes. The Chautauqua has a busy day. Classes begin each morning at 3 o'clock in physical culture work, music, Bible study, bird life and other interesting subjects, and the morning hours are whiled away with a regular bummer school course. At 1:30 begins the afternoon pro gramme. At 3:30 each afternoon comes the recreation period and daily base ball games are played by the five teams comprising the Chtauqua League. Campers Begin to Arrive. Then folks lounge about the several hundred camps of the tent city, which are snugly located among the big fir trees of the park, and following the dinner hour the evening programmes are held in the big auditorium. So it goes, a continual round of edu cational, inspirational and recreative features. Each year, just about this time, the pilgrims start out on their journey to Gladstone Park. Already the vanguard has arrived, for one lone tent made Its appearance in the park this afternoon though the session is still more than two weeks away. The features this year are many. Among the 26 big e'ternoon and even ing programmes are noted: James God dard, world's greatest baritone; Lo Zito's Royal Venetian band, the On gawa Japanese troup, the Davenny Festival quintet, the Graus Alpine yodlers. the Mawson Antarctic movies, the Wasser company; Boston light opera company, the Australian manni kins, the Lyric Glee Club the Fillion concert party, the Military Girls' or ehestra, the Musical Arts quartet, and the Smlth-Sprlng-Holmes company.
