CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM
NOW BEING OUTLINED

Webber's Juvenile orchestra, q Port
land organization. will present the pro.
gram on Friday, the second evening OF
the chautauqua. This band under the
direction of Prof. II. A. Webber has
come to be known as one of the best
attractions on the vaudeville circuit in
the bigger cities of the east, and has
just recently returned from their last
trip in that part of the country.
The band consists of a mandolin or
chestra, a banjo club and violin cho-
rus, and easily maintains its position
as the headliner wherever presented.
The famous Hawaiian ukulele has its
place among the numbers. Popular
prices will prevail so that the children
can have an OPPORTUNITY of having one
evening in the summer that will be
long remembered, and the only reserved
seats will be the chairs of the parquet,
for which charge of 25 cents will be
made.
The rehearsals for the vaudeville
performance to be given on Thursday
evening, July !, are moving along rap
idly. Mr.. Epping says there will be d
plutora of action this night. and any
who do not get their moneys
worth can leave their name at the box
office and get their money back. One
of the principal features of this night
will be quick change fancy dancing
act by Miss Dorothy Epping.
Messrs. Ray Early and Carl Kent will
give an exhibition of scientific wrest
ling Both are huskily built and give
promise of rafting good act The
Arens brothers will bring on a new
one which their father, the professor
has just brought from New York.
The Bohemian Girl is the most am.
bilious production yet attempted by 10,
cal musical talent. The arias are not
only beautiful, but grand, and nearly
every one is as familiar with"I Dreamt
! nwelt in Marble Halls" as they are
with the Sewanee River. Mrs. G. H.
Sletton is developing at rehearsals q
coloratura quality of voice that is the
delight of the evenings work Charles
Clarke will present the character OF
lhaddeus, with his ever pleasing per.
sonality. This part requires considera.
BILE action, and together with MIR.
Clarke's pleasing voice, is sure to be
appreciated.
Announcements will be made next
week as to prices for the different per.
formances, and where tickets may be
procured and seats reserved. Will

in comparison with competing states
and the favorable comment heard on all
sides about this display, il is easy 10
see that il is due to his ability that we
landed the gold medal.
Oregon will wake up some day an
find that while she has been asleep Cal
iforEia and Colorado have been reap
ing rich harvest from the tourist
crop Nowhere else do you find the
natural scenery that we have right
here. What would it mean TO every
resident of Hood River if we had a few
thousand tourists every month. They
would not only pay well for the prIvi-
Iege OF staying here, but il properly
handled each one would be made a
walking advertisement FOR everything
that we raise. With good roads and
attractive resorts an industry can be
established that will rival our fruit
crop.
Another thing that you notice in
California which we can profit by
adopting, is the loyalty of the resi-
dents. Everybody boosts his home
place. Business is just as quiet there
as 1t is here, yet they are all optimis.
tic. That spirit cannot help but leave
a favorable imp ession with strang-
ers.
That Hood River Strawberries more
than did their.part in making possible
the gold medal award at San Francisco
last week. is shown by the following
letter received last Thursday morning

Monday, and attracted great deal OF
attention. In fact, Saturday morning,

'lf you should get hold of any large
typical Clark Seedlings from the Upper

couple OF more crates to offset any

the other communities. California
raises fine Malinda berry which
comes on later, and is the only thing in
this part of the country we need fear. .

ORCHARDS NEED WA
TER, SAYS ALLEN

Because OF the peculiar weather con-
ditiOns, R.W. Allen, who has been here
the past two weeks from Hermiston
making irrigation investigations for the
experiment station, declares that orch
ards on which there are cover crops are
in an alarming condition. The weather
has been cloudy and cool but there has
been very little rain. The cool wind
has dried out the soil, the trees are now
turning yellow.
"The hssty application of plenty of
water will relieve the situation, says
Mr.. Allen, "and growers should hasten
to soak up places with cover crops on
them.
where growers are on small later
ais. says Mr.. Allen, "they should ap.
ply the water on alternate days, for
with the larger head, the work can be
done more economically and more eff

FIRST TO SCALE HIGH PEAK
Party Of University Students Make
Record In Mountain Climbing In
California.

Fighting their way to the top Of
Half Dome, the most inaccessible
point on any Of the mountains about
the Yosemite valley, A. c. Pillsbury
and II college students spent night
on the summit and made the descent
the next day.
This is the first time on record that
a party of tourists has ever scaled the
mountain and reached the top of the
dome. The summit Is $500 feet above
sea level and the last 1000 feet of the
climb was made with. rope ladders.
The grade is said to average rs per
cent.
The dome rises hundreds of feet
above a massive rock on the top of the
mountain proper. The rock itself is
1000 feet high. The overhanging rock
at the summit of the dome projects
out from the wall 80 feet and sticks
eight feet out into yawning space.
There IL a sheer drop OF 5000 feet
from this point.
The party spent one night on tbs
point and built huge bonfire that
lighted up the surrounding heights for
miles. to the delight Of many tourists
on the door Of the valley who had OBJ
served the climbers through field
glasses during the afternoon. At mid.
night the bonfire was pushed over the
point. making the longest stream of
falling ire In the history Of the state.
Six girls were in the party. All of
them are students of Stanford uniyer-
sity.

answer, ! should think" was her mild
retort.

What would you think IL Gertrude
did such a thing?"
ooh, we'll; that is different. In the

and"
Precisely. And Miss Grierson
shouldn't have done it. 1t is because
she can do such things that few
think she wouldn't be a pleasant per
son to know, socially"
But why?" insisted Raymer. with
masculine obtuseness.
1t was his sister who undertook to
make the reason plain to him.
1T isn't anything she does, OF
doesn't do, particularly; it is the at.
mosphere in which she lives and
moves and has her being. II 1t weren't
for her fathers money, she would be-
well, 1t is rather hard to say just
what she would be. But she always
makes me think of the bonanza

and a million the next / believe she
is frank little savage, at heart"
81 DON'T" the brother contended
doggedly. "She may be a trifie new
and fresh for Wahaska, but she is
clever and bright, and honest enough
to ignore social code which makes
mock of sincerity and a virtue OF
hypocrisy. | like her all the better
for the way she fared out at me
There isn't one young woman in a
thousand who would have had the
nerve and the courage to do It,"
"Or the impudence," added Mrs
Raymer. when her son had left the
room. Then: 81 do hope Edward isn't
going to let that girl come between
him and Charlctte!"
The daughter laughed.
Il should say there is room for q
regiment to march between them, as
1t is. Miss Gilman took particular
pains to let him know what train they
were leaving on, and / happen tc
know he never went near the station
to tell them good-by."

the answer came gravely: you have a
very sick man on your hands, Miss
Margery" Then the inevitable:
who is he?"
She spread her hands in a pretty af-
fectation of embarrassment.
What will you think of me. Doctor
Farnham, when / tell you that
haven't the littlest atom of an idea?"
Charlotte's father was a small man,
with kindly eyes and the firm. straight
lined mouth of his Puritan forbears.
Tell me about It," he said concisely.
She told him.
A shrewd smile flickered for an in
slant in the kindly eyes of Wahaska's
best-beloved physician.

you prepared to go on. Miss Margery?"
There were fine little lines coming

straight black brows. 1--WE needn't

Margery went to the outer door with

softly into the room Of shaded lights.

"He doesn't know the mans name

or to break into the suitcases under

"Well?" said the father again, this
time with more decided upward in
Election. Then he added You've
made up your mind what you're going
to do: say it,"
Margery's decision was announced
crisply. There is no hospital to send
him to-which Is Wahaska's shame.
Maybe he will be met and taken care
Of by his friends: If he Is, we'll and
good; II he isn't, We'll put him in the
carriage and take him home with u.s."
The cast-iron smile with the indul-
gent attachment wrinkled frostily
upon Jasper Grierson's heavy face.
"The Good Samaritan act, Ell? I've
known you long time, Madgie, but l
never can tell when you're going to
break out in brand-new spot. Didn't

Florida, did your"
Miss Margery tossed her pretty
head, and the dark eyes snapped.
Somebody in the family has to
think of something besides making
money! she retorted. please lend
me your pencil; l want to do some
wiring"
All other gifts apart, Miss Grierson
could boast Of degree of executive
ability little inferior to her fathers;
did boast of it when the occasion Of
fered; and by the time the whistle
was sounding for Wahaska, all the ar
rangements, had been made for the
provisional rescue of the sick man in
lower six.
At the station a single inquiry served
to give the Good Samaritan intention
the right of way. There were no
friends to meet lower six; but the
Grierson carriage was waiting, with
the coachman and Mereside gardener
for bearers. From that to putting the
sick man to bed in one of the guest
chambers Of the lake-fronting mansion
at the opposite end of the town was a
mere bit of routine for one so capable
as Miss Grierson; and twenty minutes
| after the successful transfer she had
Doctor Farnham at the nameless ones
bedside and was telephoning the col

Naturally, there were explanations
to be made when the doctor came
down. To her first anxious question

CHAPTER xI.
The ZWeibund.

On his second visit to the sick man
lodged in the padded Injuries of one OF
the guest rooms at Mereside. made on
the morning following the Grierson
homecoming, Doctor Farnham found
the hospital status established good
natured Swede installed as nurse, the
bells muffled and Miss Margery play
ing the part of sister superior and
dressing it, from the dainty. felt-soled
slippers to the smooth banding of her
hair.
An hour later, however. it was the
Margery of the Wahaska renais-
sance, joyously clad and radiant, who
was holding the reins over big Eng
lish trap horse. parading down Main
street and smiling greetings to every
body.
By one OF the chances which he was
willing to call fortunate. Edward Ray
mer was at the curb to help her down
from her high seat in the trap when
she pulled the big horse to stand in
front Of her fathers bank.
I'm the luckiest man in Red Earth
county; was Just wondering when
I should get In line to tell you how
glad we are to have you back" he
said. with his eyes shining.
Are you. really? You are not half
as glad as am to be back. There is
no place like home, you know"
There isn't. and there oughtn't to
be-" was his quick response. I've
been hoping you'd come to look upon
Wahaska as your home. and now
know you do"
"Why shouldn't IL" she laughed. and
she was reaching for a paper-wrapped
package on the trap seat when he got
1t for her.
"You are going somewhere?-may
carry 1t for your" he asked; but she
shook her head and took 1t from him.
"Only into the bank" she explained;
and she was beginning to tell him he
must come to Mereside when the sick
man episode obtruded itself, and the
invitation was broken In the midst.

sympathy. "You have your hands full
Just now. Will you let me say that it's

Gertrude Raymer had once said In
her brothers hearing that Miss Grier-
sons color would be charming II 1t
were only natural. Looking into Miss
Grierson's eyes Raymer saw the refu-
tation of the SANDER In the sufusing
wave of generous embarrassment
deepening in warm tints on the perfect
neck and cheek.

protest; "is 1t all over town 80 soon7
