Oregon Cltr. July JJ. Owing to th
oourtasy ( 0nral Manager Fuller of
th O. W. p. company th Chautauqua
amp remained almoit Intact until thla
raorolng. Manx bad mad preparation
to lear yesterday afternoon, as th
Chautauaua manager announced that
Sunday evening ths spaclai can

ffleulty that people encountered when
they arrived. In setting; their camp our
fit transported, again stared them in
ft face and preparation for a general
sodue were being made,, when aeveral
Indignant, and disappointed women put

with the result that Manager Fuller

was reached by telephone and when the
matter was properly stated to him by
the young woman In charge of the
Toung 'Woman's Christian Association
headquarters he very graciously and
rromptly eald the earn should run from
1 a. m. to 4 p. m. Monday.
Thl was Immediately announced In
the large auditorium and like wildfire
It flew over the grounds and almost
entirely put a stop to the preparation
for hasty leave-takings.
Mad Sunday a Beal Sabbath.
The sky overcast with clouds when
the cnautauquans awoke Sunday morn
lng was a welcome change after the
Jntenae heat of Saturday, and, but for
the fact that the alternative wns pre
sented to them of packing up and going
boms that day, or suffering a long
dusty walk and delayed baggage on
Monday, everyone would have entered
Into the Sunday rest with a feeling of
delight and pleasure at the prospect of
a cool, comfortable day In the grove
hence the message that gave them the
reprieve was doubly welcome and had
the effect of making everybody happy
and putting them Into a Sunday framo
01 mind.
Tart Happy Sessions.
The whole day was delightfully In
formal, and even the exercises and
music warmed the heart as the pleasant
converse of friends rather than as the
entertainment of an assembly.
No sooner had the clouds of the morn
ing broken away, assuring pleasant
weather, than the cars began coming
In full of people, and when the Sunday
school opened at 11 a. m. the auditorium
wa pretty well filled, and each service
during- the day showed an Increased
attendance.
The devotional exercises In the early
morning wer well attended and were

State Sunday School association and
was led by President R. R. Steel.
At th afternoon and evening service
the Chautauqua chorus appeared and
delighted everyone. Dr. Heritage ha
been the recipient of many and narty
congratulation upon his work with thl
cnorus, which is certainly in us execu
tlon a testimonial to hi ability a i
leader.
At both service Dr. Heritage and
Mis Johnson sang solos, and It wa

vorites.

preached In the afternoon and evening
respectively. It 1 the first time thl
season that Portland minister hav oc
cupied th platform, afternoon or even
ing, and every one was delighted at the
trong, rorceful sermons tney preached.
and the feeling was universal that Port
land offered as good ministerial talent
as any that oould be brought from
abroad.
Boooms TiaaooiaUr.
For th first time In several years
the Chautauqua assembly close Its
course with a balance on the right side
of the ledger.
When the old O. W. P. took Its track
up between the main line and Gladstone
far, something like five years ago and
the patrons of Chautauqua had to go to
the east side to take the Southern Pa
cific train, and then had the long dusty
walk up from the railroad station, they
began to dwindle and fewer each year
went to the meeting, until last year it
bordered well onto utter failure, so far
a the attendance was concerned, and
the deficit was Increasing at such an
alarming rate that fur some months last
winter It was a serious problem whether
or not another assembly would be held.
But th courage of those who had so
long sustained It was Indomitable and
y effecting a reorganization, and be
ginning over again, as it were, this ses
sion Just passed was made possible.
Had tne atendance been small and the
expenses not been met this year, un
questionably last night would have writ-
en Tlnl to any further attemDt to
maintain the "Willamette Valley Chautauqua.
As Assembly sext Tear,
General discouragement prevailed the
opening days of thla assembly, but as
tne essy transportation and the excel
lent programs became known, added to
the generosity of the weather clerk In
handing out genuine Oregon summer
weather, the attendance Increased rapid
ly each day until Saturday evenlna it
equaled any day, with one exception, in
the U years' history of the Chautauqua,
enabling the managers to announce that
the receipts were more than sufficient
to pay every expense and that they
would be able to open the park again
next year. Thi announcement was met
with wild applause and rlnlng cheer.
Breaking Camp This Morning.
This morning at daybreak the whole
camp wa up and stirring. Tentpin
were drawn, bedding was bundled Into
rolls and furniture waa piled high.
Women hurried hither and yon. The
callous expressman was mixing up
everybody' effect like a sausage ma
chine. But by some kind of psycholog
ical Influence' everybody eventually got
what wa coming to them, and then,
presto! the exodus: and by night the
beautiful grove will be alien . k.
forest primeval, and no sound save the
lowing Of cattle will he hear until it
awakens to the Joyous musio of another
Chautauqua a year hence.

STARVATION IN WAKE
OF A HAILSTORM
(Special Dlipateh to The Joonul.)
Cottonwood, Idaho. July 22. By the
terrible hail storm that vlitlterf th1 lo
cality about a month ago the crops were
destroyed. The farmers here are com
pelled to dispose of their hogs and cat
tle for lack of feed. In many cases a
mrge amount oi money is Delng spent to
ship In feed and keep the stock from
starving. Cottonwood is in the midst of
a very rich and fertile country and
never in the memory of the oldest set
tler did ever such a calamity befall this

HEAVES GIANT POWDER
FROM MIDST OF FIRE
J. D. Adam of Hatton, Washington,
Prevents Explosion That Would
Have Scattered Death.
(Special Dlspitcta to The JosmaL)
Spokane, Wash., July 22. The pres
ence of mind and nerve of J. D. Adams
of Hatton. Washington, prevented Sat
urday what might have been a dread
ful calamity. He and several other men
were loading powder into a wagon from
a car. The wagon bed was lined with
hay. A train Dasserf after half a load
was In, and a apark set the hay on fire.
The men were in the car and when th
danger waa discovered most of them
fled, but Adams jumped Into the wagon
and began throwing the powder out.
There was .both black and giant powder
In the load. The teamster came to his
assistance. Then the horse ran away,
scattering the dynamite along the road,
but the fire having been put out by
Adams with hi bare hands, there re
mained no danger to the car of powder.
Fifty persons were close enough to the
powder car to have been killed had It
exploded.

Great Deal of Development Work Oolng
on Quietly la This Section.
Reports of experts who have lately
visited Scott' Mill district indicate
there are Immense deposits of a good
quality of coal In this vicinity.
The company sotively engaged in
developing this section 1 spending a
great amount of money and there Is
little doubt regarding the announcement
unofficially made that the coal will be
dellvlred to consumers In Portland the
coming winter.
A tract or land acquired by a Portland
firm near where this coal company Is
operating has been looked over by the
well known expert, Mr. Mitchell, and
according to his opinion there are large
cropping of coal on the tract. Few
have an adequate idea of the natural
resources of this portion of the Willa
mette valley. The branch road of the
Southern Pacific now being built from
Mt. 'Angel to Scott's Mills, passes near
a mountain of lime recently bought by
Mr. Swift. It is said there ar many
opportunities for speculation in this
vicinity whlclr doubtless will become
more active when the railroad is com
pleted. In going to Scott's Mills one
branches of at Woodbu'rn and goes to
Mt. Angel, which is one station north of
the old town of Sllverton. Scott' Mills
Is five miles east of Mt. Angel. Abun
dant crops of large and small fruits,
wheat, hops, alfalfa, timothy, etc., are
rown on tne agricultural lands around
cott's Mills. At Mt. Angel the school
and Industrie have a coast-wide repu
tation. TO BUILD LINE TO
