Another iniortant meeting of the

the Third Annual Strawberry Festi
val which occurs in Roseburg in

club rooms last evening. Nearly

submit led were discussed In detail.
President J. W, Perkins, of the
Roseburg Commercial Club presid
ed over tho meeting, whilo G, P.
Schlosser acted as secretary.
Tho first matter up for considera
tion was that of holding an aviation
meet In conjunction with tho festi
val. S. G. Ha hi, representing the
Curtis Exhibition Company with
headquarters In Portland, was pres
ent at the meeting, and upon Invita
tion of tho chairman advanced the
proposition offered by the company
ho represents. Mr. Rahl declared
that aviation meets were becoming
more and more popular daily, and
could be dejMMided upon as a draw
ing card. The gentleman said that
tho Curtis Exhibition Company
would send one of their machines to
Roseburg, accom pan led by any one
of the famous Curtis team, compos
ed of WUlurd, Ely. Whitman and
Robins, and would make daily
flights to suit the convenience of the
committee In charge of tho carnival.
Il said that the Curtis Company
asked no guarantee, but on the con
trary, would enter into a contract
with the carnival committee where
by the company was to receive
000 In admissions, while tho re
mainder of the sum realized from
tho exhibition would be divided,
the Curtis Company and tho carni
val committee each to receive one
half. Mr. Rahl explained that the
Curtis people positively guarantee
(lights, and In the event of failure
would ret urn tho admissions.
After considerable discussion, In
which nearly every member of the
commltl oh took an active purt, It
was decided to accept the propo
sition offered by tho Cur! Is Com-
puny. Accordingly, R. E. Smith was'
empowered to enter Into a contract!

Creek road. Among tho feats s peri- J
fid in the run tract are exhibition
fliirhts. raHi'ir contests with motor1
I cycles and automobile and a race j
against time. i
The members of the commit tee ;
favoring the aviation tiK-et believe ;
that the advertising distributed by i
the Curt Is company will prove the i
mentis through which t housands of I
people will b attracted to the city!
during the carnival. They contend
that tho Curt iff Exhibition Company;
has a reputation to maintain, and
