.lames C. Young, a pioneer
resident of Douglas county and
one of the best known men in
South ren Oregon, died at his
home in Oakland late last night
after au illness of seven
months.
Jinimie" Young, as he was
best known among his acquaiu-
tanees, resided in Douglas coun-
ty practically all of bis life.
He was a native of Illinois, and
when a mere child aecompan-
led his parents on their per-
ilous trip across tho plains, lo-
eating in Douglas county in
the year 1S5;S. Mr. Young
was 0 7 years of age. Aside from
from a wife he Is survived by
four children, Mrs. Micellus. of
Portland; Gertrude, Hazel. Mar
1 tha and Edwin, all residents
of Oakland. His parents, Mr.
and Mrs. K. G. Young are also
living. Tho .funeral will he
held at Oakland at 1 1 o'clock
Sunday morning, interment will

Mr. Young was a member of the
Masonic, Odd Fellow and Kast
C' ern Star lodges. He was a de
t voted Christian and belonged
$ to tho Oakland Presbyterian

4 Other than enjoy 'ng the
greatest confidence of his as-
sociates along business lines,
Mr. Voting held a nu.nl- r of
responsible public ofliceg dur-
ing his residence in Douglas
county, prominent among which

an. of Drain.
In Mr. Young's death. Doug-
las county has lost one rff tiie

Secretary Unfer is au old news
paper man and in an interview with
a News reported expressed his great
astonishment at the pi ogress made
by Roseburg as a city. Ho says the
network of strett paving, tho beau
tiful (duster lighting system, tiie
well-kept lawns and attractive homes
nestled all about t he rose-covered
hills of our city would bo a credit to
any city of twenty thousand.
"We only arrived in your beautiful
city at live o'clock." said Mr. llofer.
"but before we got into our com
fortable quarters at the Hotel Mc
Clallen we had had a round of hos
pitality and festivity that. fairly
made our beads swim. The reception
given that live bunch from Portland
last evening was charming, and the

ity of the place. I want to compli
ment Roseburg upon its evident
spirit of unanimity in Its public un
dertakings, and this one fact alone
will mean far more than any other
element in the up-building o It la
place. .
"The high class development of
fruit lands and other properties
throughout the surrounding couuiry
will eventually prove a resource for
the permanent prosperity of your
city which cannot as yet be fully con
ceived. This is what Salem has work
ed for for many years and now the
miles and miles of developed orch
ards about our city, reached" by the
lines t rock roads, and occupied by
hundred of tamilfes making almost
a coin in nous village, have become
the pride of our city.
"VVf fully appreciate at Salem the
friend-hip and substantial backing
of R-vebiirg and Douglas count v
people in the things which vitally ef
fect our cltv and the welfare of the

Roses and strawberries, sweet and
delicious as they are, were complete

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

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
