FATHER MXRORY WILL BE 616 ATTRACTION Probably no program of the Chau- tauaua will be aa popular aa the pro duction of the "Story Beautiful" by Father MacCorry and Kuthven Mac Donald and assistants. The "Story Beautiful" is a classic from the stand point of art. oratory and musical at tainment, and yet because of its strong aoueal to all classes who will hear and see it this number deserves to be called the popular entertainment. Be cause of its uniqueness it is difficult to give in a few words an adequate conception of it. One of the most brilliant, dramatic and powerful speakers. Father Patrick J. MacCor ry of St. Mary's Cathedral of Wichi ta. Kansas, has woven a thrilling lec ture about a series of unusual views and reproductions of famous paint ings. Many of the paintings shown are from the brush of the master painters of the world and are hidden far from the eyes of the curious How Father MacCorry secured them is not a part of this story but it may be said that they are few who could secure permission to copy them and the col of the slide is wonderfully well done. They are as beautiful as the original and far different from any slides commonly ahown. While the pictures are being shown Father MacCorry gives his lecture. No orator has a more musical tone or dramatic inclination and while V speaks a singly ray of light reveals his features against the black velvet runain. At times nothing can be heard but the gentle music of the piano and this may be followed with the rich tones of the great baritone H. Ruthven MacDonald of Toronto who presents selections from orator ios and other classical music. Four neoDle are required to pre sent this combined lecture recital and -.hnwincr of famous pictures and those who attend wil leave with a sensa tion that they have visited some great cathedral having been thoroughly aat ;.;,i in a lomr cherished desire. The Story Beautiful will be pre sented at Albany Chautauqua on the night of July 12. WOMAN AT BEND FOUND WITH A HOLE IN HEAD (By United Press Association) Bend, Oregon, June 3.

City News SECOND STREET PAVING MONDAY Work Will Begin on Grading at Lyon St. and Actual Paving Start in Two Weeks. COUNTRY ROADS CAN BE BUILT CHEAPLY SAYS TRAVIS Paving Expert Declares That Hard Surface Oan Be Built Cheaper Than Macadam. You can say for me," said J. W. Travis at his room in t! e Hotel Al bany this morning, "that we will be gin the work of paving Second street next Monday morning. The grading work will take about two weeks, so it will be at least that long before we actually get to laying the hard sur face." It is the intention of the com pany to push the work as fast as pos sible and turn to other things that may come up in the rear future. The bids for the paving of four blocks on Main atreet and 3 block on Baker will be opened at, the next regular , session of the council June 9, and it is "practically certain that the Asphalt Machinery Co. will be the only bid ders and will get the contract on about the same basis as the Second street bid $1.05 per yard. There are a few other projects in the air. but nothing definite has come of them as yet. ' The men in charge of the machin ery at the local plant went to Salem yesterday to unload and install the new plant purchased by Marion coun ty, with which that County will pro- eed to hard surface their roads. The statement is made at Salem that about 50 miles will be gone over this year. ' Wrien told this morning that there were doubting Thomases here who claim that county, roads cannot be treated to a bituminous surface for $4500 or $5000 per mile. Mr. Travis in dignantly and emphatically said that he would show them that it could be done, that it has and is being done. According to figures givtn him by County Judge Wm. Bushey, of Mar ion county, that county spent' about $7500 per mile in macadamising their roads, and even the best of them are going to pieces. "Those roadt will Se paved at a cost of about $3000 per mile,' said Mr. Travis, "and if any ounty wilt let us do the work. I can demonstrate that grades can be es tablished, the road bed properly drained and covered with our asphalt ic process that will last a lifetime for about $4500 or $5000 per mile." . Mr. Travis mentioned similar hard surface roads that have been laid in other states for many years, some in Indiana for 45 and 49 years. Ever. concrete would wear out inside o: that time, he said, but the asphaltic roads are still good. He has traveled all over the United States and made road and street cons:ruction a life itudy. ana air. i ravu nanus iu "v. v show any county court where ihey can build better roads with less money and make them practically permanent, than the present road system is se curing in general.
