It was a dissipation, it is true, but
instead of holding sessions with Col. K.
E. Morse this week, the valley and
city people and most all of them were
there at different times who attended
the second annual Horticultural Chau
tauqua, all express the feeling this
week that they would have liked to
have remained over for several days and
have had time to become accustomed to
camp life. It was a dissipation that
does not leave the head dizzy nor the
mind tired and befogged, even though
the body may reach a stage that is even
more than comfortably tired. Hood
Kiver people and their guests have re
turnd home with their faces tanned,
their muscles stronger and all the bet
ter for the close contact with nature.
Naturally they are tired, for something
was doing every moment from the time
the program started with the opening
address until "Hillie" Sunday closed
the event with his strong Sunday morn
ing sermon. And everybody that at
tended the event for the purpose of re
laxation from business cares and to
have a week of freedom in the open
air, accomlished his purpose. There
were no drawing of lines; for the man
with a roll of blankets and the open
sky the covering of his bedroom was as
free to enjoy the privileges or the
Chautauqua as was the party with
suites of tents. The Chautauqua was
democratic in the truest sense of the
word.
But the Chautauqua was far more
popular this year than on last. From
a few hundred electric bulbs twinkling
in the tents of the forests and at the
intersection of the woodland streets,
the bulbs had increased to the thou
sands. From 67 tents last year, the
number this vear had jumped to more
than 250. The whole 100 acre area of
the Woodworth property was covered
and the tent city extended down the
Middle Fork of the Hood Kiver to the
land of R. J. Mclsaac. While the com
missarv department had but few to
feed last vear, the crowds that were
handled with excellent accommoda
tions, considering the speed with
which the matters were arranged this
year reached beyond a thousand.
One of the features of the Chautau
qua this year was the big dance pavil
ion, where the merry makers assent
bled every evening after the perform
ances were completed. When the or
chestra was not playing the dancers
could sit at the side of the big pavilion
and listen to the music of the river,
hurtling along at the very Bide of the
structure.
The programs of every day and night
were good. The muscial and dramatic
numbers were exceedingly good, and
the lectures of the experts from the
Agricultural College were listened to
liy large and appreciative audiences.
Pres. dent Kerr, or the Agricuitura
College, whose work is appreciated by
apple growers as much so as perhaps
hv the residents or any otner uistnci
of the state, spoke to a large audience

The hit of Thursday evening was the
. . . a i . il tl
nriniiiHI mono ocue oi Aninony r,uwer,
who is here spending tne summer wnn
his hrother. Eugene C. Euwer, at his
Upper Valley ranch. Mr. Euwer, who
ix a newHuaner writer, novelist and il
lustrator of no small fame, showed the
skill of being able to hold an audience
with a monologue. His subjects were
taken from humorous sketches that he
has written about that wonderful ani
mal, the cat, and he had a few remarks
to maKe anoui CIliCKenH. ms iiiuiiu
Inone could have been made more
funny only by the presentation of the
illustrations that accompany his disser
tation on felines in the book that he
has published on cats.
The "Box of Monkeys," as played
by the Upper Valley people, was good.
Unfortunately in this play, Miss Sha-
hnn. who was taking a leading part,
sprained her ankle during the intermis
sion between the first and second act
and was unable to proceed. Mrs. Os
borne, who had read the lines over be
fore, took her nlace as understudy, and
had not the audience have been told of
the incident, they would never have
noticed the change, so easily did the
understudy take her part.
Miss Leura Miller, with an enthusi
asm that seemed natural, played the
part of the western girl who had been
sent east for her education. Her
tparhif.tr of elan? to Mrs. Charles I
Mnndv. the English girl, was one of
the most entertaining parts of the
play, and she had a scarcely noticea
ble, fetching shrug, that bewitched the
audience.
No numbers were more enjoyed than

Portlands' best singers and players.

showers on the hills surrounding Port
land Saturday morning many manufac
turers were prevented from coming to
the Chautauqua with their families.
However, about ten of the representa
tives of the organization were present,
and addresses were delivered by Thom
as S. Mann, president of the organiza
tion, and by Mrs. Weatherred.
Saturday night, Vaudeville Night,
was the big night. It was the night of
laughs and thrills. There wsb no one
who failed to enjoy the program, or at
least parts of it. The Portland Ad
Club quartette, by their singing and
the acting of the parts of the songs
they sang called down great applause.
Clarke and Gilbert were even more
entertaining than usual, and by their
care-free, void - of self-consciousness
acting, gave a better presentation of
their jokes than do most professionals.
Dos in te the fact that shortly before
noon on the day before she had sprained
an ankle, Miss Dorothy Epping, as
sisted by her sisters, Misses Hetty and
Adrianne, gave one of the most beauti
ful dances ever seen by most of those
who attended the perfomance. Miss
Epping became a beautiful, graceful
woodland nymph, and as she swayed
and glided lightly over the floor there
was a hush in the audience, even as
though the entire assembly had been
carried back to the days of paganism,
when men believed in sylvan spirits,
and it was for some moments after
"An Invocation to the Spirit of the
Forest" had been completed before the
material senses of the people returned
ad they broke forth into applause.
Al. Kahlea, with his Hebrew and
Italian impersonations, made the woods
roar with laughter. The Upper Valley
gymnastic trio made the spines of the
timid feel cool when they began to
whirl around the horizontal bar. And
every boy in the audience will be mak
ing an effort to imitate the costumes
worn by the Arens Bros., who, how
ever, were unable to complete their
number, having lost the roll of music
for the performrance.
The (iipsy strollers, according to tne
expressions of thoBe who saw the play
let, was better than mat or last year.
The dances and choruses had been bet
ter prepared and the costumes Bhowed
more taste.
The scene was opened with the gip
sies in camp, some seated around a
boiling pan, others divided into groups,
throwing dice and playing cards.

Cleveland Meeting Will Be Largest Ever
Held. Says Sieg, Who With II. F.
Davidson Left Tuesday
Wilmer Sieg, sales manager, and H.
F. Davidson, president of the N. P.
Fruit Distributors, left here Tuesday on
the Soo-Spokane train over the line of
the O.-W. K. & N. Co. for Spokane,
where they attended a meeting yester
day of the otlicials of the Distributors
and then proceeded to Minneapolis.Chi
cago and Cleveland, at the latter of
which places the National Apple Ship
pers' Convention will be held. They
will be joined at Spokane by J. H.
Kobbins, general manager of the Dis
tributors. After the convention Mr. Davidson
will proceed to New York, where he
will set about opening and getting un
der way an office of the Distributors.
He will also spend a portion of his
me in Boston. Mr. Kobbins will go
the southwest where he will make a
study of crop conditions. Mr. Sieg will
turn homo by way of Omaha and will
sit Colorado points to make a study
f the crop conditions there.
Hood Kiver is arranging to make an
iple display at the convention. The
green fruit of dinorent varieties will
be taken back and the dealers will be
ble thus to make a prediction as to
e Bize of the fruit on maturity. The
iple exhibits, according to Mr. Sieg,
ill be made a very prominent feature
f the convention this year, and the
athering will be the largest ever held.
"The crop conditions throughout the
ountry," says Mr. Sieg, "are indefin-
te,an( in the sections where they have
the greatest quantity of apples, the
juality is poorest. It looks now as if
the Northwest were going to have a
reason hly good market, but it all de
pends on the judgment in setting the
pcning price. If we follow on our in-
ntions as now set, the and place a
reasonable, yet profitable, price on our
commodities, we will be ablo to create
a consumptive demand that will allow
us to advance the price from time to
me.
The trouble with the northwest lust
year was due to the fact that with the
price of the past season in mind the
market men started otf with values
that would not allow of a wide distri
bution, and in the end all districts were
forced to a consignment distribution.
The Distributors now have nu affili
ated organizations and control 70 per
cent of tho Northwest's apple crop.
rowers are already beginning to pick
Astrachans. However, it will be the
alter part of August before carloads
of Gravensteins will be shipped. These
will be followed by Kings and Jonathans."
The strawberry returns of the Asso
ciation are out, and the otlicials of the
organization say that the averages are
the best ever received in the north
west. The prices ranged from.JG to
$2.25 per crate.
A great many of the Bmaller ship
pers of cherries are announcing the re
ceipt of prices greater than those re
ceived by the Association for the
herry crop." says Mr. Sieg, "How
ever; it must be remembered that the
Association handtled the entire bulk or
the product of the valley and it was
necessary to sell it all to one concern.
hese growers had only a few hundred
uounds to sell, while the Association
sold by the carload, and secured more
gratifying returns than any other dist
rict. As to the high prices paid for
cherries in different cities, the pur
chasers usually bought from fruit
land men. and the prices must not be
taken as general."

DELIVERS SERMON
One of the most interesting of the

Sunday morning sermon preacneo oy
'Billie Sunday, the noted evangelist.
who arrived last week from Loa An
geles, where he has been attending the
convention of the Christian Endeavor,
to spend a short vacation here on his
ranch. While Mr. Sunday iook ior nia
text the coming of the millenium,
warning everybody to be ready for that
meeting in the air, "when the Lord
shall chooBe his jewels," he touched on
many other ineresting matters, a
arge American nag arapea ine dbck oi
the stage, and turning Iiib attention to
I. W. W.'s and anarchists, whom ne de
nounced as the curse of the land, Mr.
Sunday said in his characteristic enthu
siastic manner: "My father made bul
let meat of himseir for four years to
aid in the preservation of the Union
and 1 am wiling to do the same for tho
dug. One of the most detestable
things taking place in our land today is
the action of those who desecrate the
flag. To those who do not like our flag
1 say, hike."
Mr. Sunday also touched on the sa
loon question, declaring that he had
left Chicago for Lake Winona, Minn.,
on accouunt of saloons. "And if you
people of Hood Kiver county vote sa
loons here," he cried, "my ranch is for
sale."
"While no man knows when the mil
lenium is going to begin," said Mr.
Sunday, "everything points to its ap
roach. We are having political unrest,
the advancement of a thousand and one
fads and the interest and activity of
the Jews in rebuilding the temple at
Palestine.
