THOUSAND IN LINE OF MARCH Thousands Watched the School Clill dreii March on the Streets This .Morning- Prize Itabys In Line. Roses and strawberries, sweet and delicious as they are, were complete ly eclipsed this morning when the young people of the Roseburg high school and children of tho grammar grades made t heir appearance on the streets in the parade t hat was scheduled to occur on this date, and it was the concensus of opinion that the lovely girls and manly boys who participated in the beautiful demon stration are indeed Roseburg 's best asset. The showers of tho early morning, and which continued in termittently during t he forenoon, detracted a good deal from the com fort of tlu children In the parade and the spectators who lined the streets on both sides of marching line but withal it was a most Interesting affair, reflecting great credit on the promoters and the children. Perhaps no part of the parade elicited more inter est than that port Ion devoted to the babies in decorated perambu lators. All along the lint! of march grey-haired grandmoihei'H and totter ing granddads, proud papas and gracious matrons peered eagerly for ward to set the numberless school children, from the charming lassies In the high school section down to tin last wee mites of dimpling hu manity in their carriages that brought up the rear of this most In terest ing and inspiring part of t he carnival program. Dhisious of Parade. Preceded by the O. A. C. band the high school division, headed by the class of "1L', followed by other classes marched by twos north on Jackson st reel. Kollowlng the class of 'II came the grades, and after them an other hand discoursed martial music as the youngsters trotted along, each and every one of them carrying a small American flag. The queen of the children's parade, little Miss Dor othy Abraham and her naive llllle maids of honor, rode In an appropri ately dceoruied pony four-in-hand, and immediately after the queen's coach came the primary divisions of the schools. In the extreme rear, very fittingly, since Ihey being last, came the dimpled prize babies In their decorated carriages. These small bits of humanity wonderinglv took in Hie sights about fhem, all unconscious of t lie admiral ion and praise heaped upon their bald little pales by a deliubled mullilude. The procession counter marched-at Doug las and Jackson i:ud passed south on the latter street to the plaza by Ibe Klks" Temple, when Hie queen was error led to ihV grand stand and reg ularly proclaimed queen of the fes tivities.
