Despite rain and cloud, the ninth
annual strawberry carnival can be
pronounced a success from every
standpoint. The inclement weather
detracted greatly from the carnival
spirit and caused delays which are
always detrimental to the success of
an affair like the ono Just couciud-.

has never been a carnival which

done and all associated with tho
ovent aro extremely grateful to the
members of the fire department,
who without solicitation or without
hope of reward or prize volunteered
themselves for a number of amusing
stunts which wero among the main
features. They received no prizes
for their work but voluntarily came
forward" nnd submitted their pro
gram to tho committee for ratifica
tion. Many of tho stunts In tho nature .
of races wore necessarily called off
and this sport denied' the spectators
while the b,and concerts scheduled
tor the streets could not be held at
tlie stated times on account of the
copious downjioura. It Was greatly
regretted that more opportunity was
not given to enjoy the work of the
hugcue boys drum and bugle corps, -
as they were one of the finest fea
tures of the-festivities.
The parades were far hhovo the

previous evont held and although as
many cars were not entered as usual
tho quality more than offset the
quantity. Tho baby paraxle was Bome-

Tho best feature of the carnival,
however, was Its success us a busi

tative this afternoon visited a lurre
number of the mercantile establish
ments of the city nnd without excep
tion they stated that Saturday, the
concluding day was the best for biihl
uess that they havo over experienced
In Hoseburg. Ono restaurant sold

was being prepared. Hotels, con

grocery, dtygoodn, furniture and all
other stores of the city, pronounced
It tho tin est thing that they have ever
experienced for Increasing their
biinlneBs and all are highly pleased
with the result.
By uctu;l count there wnro more

a f'lct which Is not to be overlooked
when counting up tho success of the
