E. .Scutt, acting secretary of the Commer cial club, on whose shoulders has fallen the management of the fourth horticul- ; tural chautauqua. has been busy man. , Sometimes hut hair has been irouz zled," and the red whiskers peeped awry from his jowls porcupiny fashion. Hut Mr. Scott was er.agged with the ways and means of making the chau tauqua shows a success from a finan cial as well as an artistic standpoint. Aid Hood Kiver has far more artistic talent train even the best informed man would ever suppose. This was ! made conclusively clear last Thursday 'evening, when tha first Chautauqua j event, the vaudeville show, was given at the open air theatre, it was a hot evening, one of me notiesi 01 me year. Yet the big aumtorium nestled beneath the canopy of maples and shaded the live-luni! dav. was surprisingly cool. The vaudeville show began with charming music by Bill Chandler s or chestra. P. I. Packard was over trom Underwood with his "cello. E. I. Kin caid chimed in with his eweet tuned clarinet, lien. A. Wuest. an old time favorite, was present with his violin Clifford Porter, a new addition to Huod River orchestra players, was a member of Mr. Chandler's orchestra, playing his violin. Hubert W. Perigo recently not heard so much as in former years, uuickened the pulses of his hearers with the strumming of hi manodlin. Arno 1. miller and 1. D. Parkins added to the harmony with their guitars. Miss Lillian Brock was the piano accompanist. Miss Brock is one of Hood River's most talented young ladies, and in her the local music loving public takes much pride. Melody is the word that should be used in describing the songs by the chautauqua quartet, composed of Rob ert and George Bragg and Malcolm and Allan Button. These boys, of high school fame, have excellent voices. While all of them have been busy the nsst week with work in which they are engaged and have hHd little time in which to practice, the music mourn in them was productive of appealing nat ural harmony. Mrs. Ka oh Root, who was lormeri soloist at one of New York city'B lariim churches, and "Dad hoping. who had charge of the productions of the horticu tura chautauqua. were ap plauded time after time, the ncli hlendinn of their magnificent voices in selections from operatic scores was in spiring. The lflir.h producers of the evening were AreiiB Bros., sons of the noted vocal teacher and director of the New York People's Symphony orchestra, Prnf ' F. X. Arens. Some of the jokes bordered on the edge of the land of Bohemia, just be tween the naughty and the nice, but thev were eood and provoked mirth. In their parodies Arens Bros, shone effulgently. They told of the troubles of the ore'hardists, and the tired expo nent of this profession, as well as the tired business man sensed the numor noted and puncneo To Young Men Youth is the time to prepare for old age. Not much preaching to the young man so we will not attempt it. The average young man thinks of the present. Not one in ten has a definite aim in life, but the one out of ten today will be the wealthy, comfortably fixed man of tomorrow. Young man it is worth thinking about if you would only do so. Old age will surely come to you. Open a saving ac count at our ban!t and you will never have cause to regret it. Hood River State Bank FORD THE UNIVERSAL.

However, the chautau qua management la to be praised lor its (election of the visiting party ol musicians. Their production was mer itorious throughout, and they will be welcomed back to Hood Kiver. No better music has ever been heard here. Each member of Webber's ia a versa tile, artist, playing at will any number of instruments. The biggest crowd that has ever thronged to tha open air theatre was there Sunday morning, when Kev. Hilly Sunday preached. The big auditorium was packed, and many came and were turned away because they could not rind places to hear the world famed evangelist, who, although invited to numerous places, chose to stay at home and deliver a message to his Hood Kiv er neighbors, t'atriotic songs were sung by the huge crowd en semble. A play, especially a musical play, may be spoiled by so many ways, mat when one goes wrung it is often dilfi cult to place the blame. "The Hone mian Girl could have been bad Mon day night, if the music of the orchestra had been poor, but it wasn t. the audience might not have been enthused if the chorus had sung in a slow me chanical way, even though letter per fect from a standpoint of technique, liut the choruses sang with a snap and spirit that was contagious. The prop erty man might have failed to secure proper costumes, but fortunately, he did not. The stage settings might have been bunglesome and unsightly, but O. T. Wedemeyer, who had charge of staging the play, had everything work ing like a well oiled clock. These and a thousand and one other minor things may take place and spoil a show. The most experienced specta tor in the big audience Monday night could not see that anything went wrong at any time, those behind the scenes may have noticed a few little blunders that were the cause of no disturbance. Mis. C. II. Sletton, Arline, the lost daughter of Count Arnheim, will never be forgotten as she sang and played S. EVnson, Gov. Withycomhe and Party Make Triumphant Entry- Ovation at the Open Air Theater the part in the llohemian Girl Monday night. The volume of her sweet voice, the vigor she put into hei songs, the sincerity of her actions, all these things wero not only an inspiration lot the other members of the company, but disengaged the minds of the people in the audience from anything outside the Bohemian Girl. Mrs. blelton a cos- lucres were very i -ming she was charming in all scenes. Otto Wedemeycr was chief of the gypsies, Devilshuof. Mr. weaemeyers parts were sung in his usual rich, deep voice.' He, too, put a contagious vim into his actions. He became a real gypsy chief, and when he sang out his sharp eommandajto his followers, there was obedience. Mr. vveuemeyer s make-up was exceedingly good. His little touches of dramatic ability gave him the power of making the most of situations. A touch "of comedy was nf the situations each other. The high oflieials of the given when Annln Growers Association were ban- reflection in a mirror approached in one died by the minstrels similar to the of the scenes.

Then there was a hUHh in the nouse As a butterfly flitting gracefully over a field of flowers, pausing now to sip the honey from a sweet flower, now floating with languid movements ol the wings through the air, miss uoromy Tuesday was a red letter day in the history of Hood Kiver county. The dream of years was realised when the nrst automobile ever to travel up the. Columbia from I'ortland arrived in the city. In the car was seated Governor Withcyombc, S. Benson, H. L. Pittock, Sam Hill. Multnomah County Commis sioner l.ightner and J. It. Yenn, the latter Multnomah county's millionaire road master. The approach of the dedication party to the city waa her alded by Mrs. J. K. Nickelsen, who telephoned that the first car had passed up over the Kuthton hill and waa headed for town. When the lirst machine reached the corporate limits of town it stopped to await the arrival of those that fol lowed. W. L. Clark sent over the wires a message, the words of which were: "The Columbia highway is open." Ex pectant citizens in the city, waiting to greet the distinguished visitors, cheered as the words were repeated. Messen gers went from house. to house on Cas cade avenue. J he telephones were kept busy, and as the procession of machines traveled slowly over the resi dence street the front lawns were lined with men, women and children. It was truly a triumphant entry for Mr. Benson, whose name was on every lip and who was greeted with cheer after cheer. ' The train of eight automobiles had left I'ortland before 6 o'clock Tuesday morning. It was exactly 2.48 in the afternoon, when the first car reached the west limits of the city. After a short reBt at the Hotel Ore gon and Mount Hood hotel the dedica tion party was taken for a tour of the orchard district. Returning they were guests at a banquet served at the ho tels at 6 30 o'clock, representative citi zens of the town joining them. Aa each guest left the hotel he waa presented with a Hood Kiver grown carnation by Geo. llaslinger, of the Heights greenhouse. The public reception for Mr. Benson, Governor Withycomhe and party was held at 8 o'clock at the open air the ater. An hour before the arrival of the honored guests, city and country people had begun to pour into the big auditorium. Ranchers from remote districts were there to hail Mr. Benson as father of the Columbia highway. When the cheers had subsided after the entry of the party on the big stage, little Mary llaslinger. daughter of the florist, tripped out and with shy curt sey before each, presented big boqueta from her father's gardens to Mr. Ben son and the governor. Leslie Bulter, a member of the ad visory board of the State Highway Commission, prositfett over-the meet ing. County Judge Stanton delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city and county of Hood Kiver and of the local Commercial club. Judge Stanton declared that it waa one of the biggest days in the history of Hood Kiver. "1 saw an old man not long ago," he said, "who has lived here since Mount Hood was a mud hole, and 1 venture to aBsert that during all that time he has never seen anything more worthy of celebrating than the opening he attempted to stau dib . ,hB nni.imhi. hiohwav."

Mr. Samll acted exceedingly well the parts of the pampered court favorite, who waa prone to indulge too much in the flowing wine. R. F. Marquis, formerly a member of the Apollo club, of Portland, took the diflicult part of Count Arnheim, the father, stricken by grief over the loss of his daughter. Mr. Marquis was remembered with pleasure by all who heard him in the Chimes of Normandy. His deep voice has a mellowness that is exceedingly pleasing, and the house was still Monday night as he sang. F.Ftieciallv imuresssive was the prayer scene, where Count Arnheim besought the aid of the Divinity in his search for his lost daughter. While Mr. Mar quis is pleasing in the opera rolls, more than one local resident wno una heard him in the spoken parts of re cent shows has expressed a desire to see him in a production calling rortn dramatic ability alone. He has a way of enunciating his words and of placing himself in the part he is playing in such a way as to put this over with the spectator.

King met them just west of the city. Ralph Root, Dr. Dumble. H. F. Davidson and other motorists joined in the tour around the valley. Chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements was Truman Butler.
