a fence, an auditorium and other necessary
buildings.
Most Of them give a program of enter
tainments in July and August, running
for ten days or so. which costs from ST 500
to $500. and Is paid for by the sale of
season tickets. Admission tickets to single
entertainments usually cost so cents, and
are quite a source Of revenue The con-
situations of nearly all the associations pro-
hibit dividends and provide that all profits
shall go into surplus or be expended in
the Improvement of the grounds or the
erection of cottages. Every Chautauqua
that has been managed for revenue only
has soon expired, and those that are ma
nipulated or controlled by one man or
partnership, for individual profit, have in
variably failed. The most successful as
semblies are those which are managed by
a committee of honorable citizens for the
benefit of the public and offer high stand
ard of entertainments. Almost without ex-
ception they have succeeded.
Speakers in Demand.
The programs are made up Of a great
variety of entertainments, furnished chiefly
by public men and professional entertain
ers, who fill winter lecture courses and spend
their summers going from one Chautauoua
to another. They are paid from s25 to

Two years ago Mr.. Bryan was not salts
fed with his fee and demanded share of

Chicago commands a $500 fee for as many
engagements as he Is willing to make; Gov

$500 for one lecture, but usually insists

Birth of Chautauqua.
1t is the evolution of the camp-meeting;
the qualification of the desire and demand
of people of limited means residing in rural
communities for an inexpensive vacation,
and their craving for knowledge and the
society of congenial people 1t is combi-
nation of rest recreation and mental i'm
provement. 1t was born in 1873, near
Jamestown, n. Y, in grove on the shores;
of Lake Chautauqua in conversation be-
tween Bishop John H. Vincent of the Meth
odist Church and Lewis Miller. a banker
and manufacturer of Akron, Ohio. Each
of these gentlemen accuses the other of
having first suggested the plan, and there
is reason to believe that both are guilty
Of this, as well as many other good works.
Wherever the responsibility may lie, Mr..
Miller undertook to make the business ar
engagements necessary for calling together
and taking care of as many Sunday school
teachers as possible in connection with the
annual camp meeting Of 1874, and Bishop
Vincent agreed to prepare a program and
a series of lessons and to attend to the
advertising, printing and providing of In
structors. The first summer school for Sun
day school teachers in August, 1874 was
the result. About 600 assembled; and, under
the direction of Bishop Vincent, devoted
week to the methodical study of the Book
of Books In 1875 the attendance grew to
nearly a thousand, who were taken care
of in tents and rudely constructed bar
racks, and in the boarding houses that had
been open on the camp-meeting grounds Tor
several years. In 1878 a school for mis-
sionaries was added and an opportunity
was offered to twenty or thirty people VINO
had been assigned to mission work TO STUDY
foreign languages and customs, and learn
something about the religions of the LANDS
to which they were going.

Roses for che rxpOssssOn.

been allotted TO the Portland Rose So
eiety for the distribution Of flowers 1t
has practically been decided to have
four young ladies attend to the distri.

at the booths nearly all the time The

a booth in the Oregon state building.

"We will give away thousands and
thousands Of roses Of all varieties. -
said Mrs. George H. LambersOn, vice
president of the society. elf we ex-
erted ourselves do not believe that we
would have any difficulty in securing
10000 roses n day for distribution.
However, hardly believe we will dis.
tribute that many daily.
"The roses which will be given away
will be gathered each day by wagon,
The wagon will be sent to all portions
of the city The roses which will be
placed on display will probably be
brought to us by other means. We are
confident that Portland will maintain
her reputation as the Rose City"

CROP
PROSPECTS
GOOD

The splendid rain o. yesterday and
last night, coming directly after the
several weeks of fine weather, has
started all kinds of vegetation more
rapidly than usual, and the hills and
valleys are resplendent with grass and
flowers.
The outlook for crops is the best at
this time of year that could be, and,
with continuation Of warm weather
for few weeks, the yield of grain and
fruit will be enormous.
A well-known grain dealer said to-
day; ''I have just returned from a
trip through the grain raising sections
of Marion and Polk counties, and 1 find
that conditions could not be better. The
ground is in almost perfect condition,
and the stand of fall grain is one of the
best we have ever had.
"The farmers were enabled by the
fine, warm weather of the past three
weeks to sow large acreage of spring
grain, and the present rain will give it
good start. The sowing will continue
for at least three weeks, and the
amount of ground under cultivation
will be far in excess of any year for a
long time. The prospects are very fat
tering, and Oregon should be prosper
Gus this fall"
1t is little early to tell much about
the fruit crop, but the trees are in a
healthy condition, and, outside of pos
sible freezing, there will be good crop.
Cherries and plums are in full bloom,
and the trees are covered with fragrant
blossoms
The hop yards are sprouting well, and
the crown heads have withstood the
winter in good shape. The growers
are doing lots of work in the yards and
will start active cultivation in a short
time.
