PAGE THItEH LOCAL FESTIVAL WILL BE STAGED CAIt.MVAL COMM1TEEE DECIDES IX WOULD BE A .MISTAKE TO ABANDON THE AXXAIAI, FES TIVAL OX ACCOUNT OF THE DECLARATION OF WAR. OMR CITIES SHOW ACTIVITY 1'nrtlnnd anil Other Oregon Towns Will Hold Festive Events During the Summer Many Will bo Attracted Here. The Carnival Committee has seri ously considered the suggestion made by a few that this year's en tertainment be abandoned, but it was decided, it would be a mistake to Kive It up. it appears very improbable that this country will be directly or act ively encased in war for several months, if ut all, and the most to be expected from local troops is to KUard the border and elsewhere. This will cause little anxiety and make few demands upon those who contribute financially. The merchants on the committee say carnival subscriptions are re Kartled as an advertising expense. and that there is no more occasion lor stopping that form of advertis ing because of the declaration that a state of war exists than there Is for discontinuing newspaper adver tising. On the other hand, if the war assumes any serious form and depresses business there will be all the more ' necessity for stimulating It. It is certainly true that the slower trade Is the greater efforts " are made by the experienced and wide-awake mrchants to increase it. The committee has entered upon some contract already and is tenta tively bound in others. These rep resent probably half the total sum they will expend and much of that amount would be dead loss if they were to suspend now. Another point is that of all they spend, about 80 per cent remains in the possession of local people and will remain in local circulation. Another obliga tion assumed by many outside the Carnival Committee Is the Inviting of outside, lodges to attend and the promise of entertainment made to them. This could not be withdrawn gracefully, perhaps. Other cities are cing ahead with the entertainments planned for this year and none of those contemplat ing a visit to Uoseburg has intimated any change of plan. The Portland Hose Festival committee is continu ing its efforts, although the same suggestion of abandnning the fes tival was made there. In yesterday's OreKonian one citizen made the very natural statement that their annual (elebration gave employment to many, afforded sane and helpful en lortaiiiment to many more, and would ho of greater value than us ual If the war bei-aine active. The Uoseburg committee takes same view of the Strawberry Carni val. It will help business and bring people here. It will keep the city alive and furnish both work and en tertainment. The patriotic spirit now alive will bo strengthened if a program contemplated can be work ed out and in no event will it be di minished. Instead of questioning further the cpnimittee will work all the harder to make this year's car nival the best we ever had, because the people are entitled to it, and their warm co-operation is earnestly desired.

When dragged from the wreck Miss Mathews was covered with blood and a bad cut over one eye and was delirious lor several min utes She was takea to the home of Uoscoe N. Green, in the vicinity of the accident, and was given immedi ate attention while awaiting the ar rival of a physician. She was later moved to her home and today she was reported much improved. It is not believed the wound Is serious. Mr. liargar escaped uninjured: According to persons who were nearby when the accident occurred about 7: HO o'clock, Mr. liargar bad driven the car opposite the Green home at the top of the steep grade when he was unable to proceed further and decided to return to town by the south grade. The ma rhino first ran over the curb at the top of the hill and on being brought to the pavement, was started down ward .facing -the city. The occu pants were still ignorant of any dis- ablement of the machine, although it is believed it then had a broken axle. As it moved down the grade the momentum increased and the cry of Miss Mathews explained thai the driver was unable to turn the corner. On striking the opposite curb the machine was turned coin pleteiy over, almost entirely demol ishing the upper apparatus and throwing the lady out on her face. Assistance was given immediately by persons attracted by the noise and screams. U SUSPECT BEAD AT EUGENE X. E.

Letters received here today from Douglas County students at the Uni versity f Oregon indicate that the University lias been officially ac cepted by the War Department as a unit, or training camp for the of ficers' training corps of the Regular Army. It is expected that an army officer will be stationed at the Uni versity next fall to drill University students who are candidates for the corps. Adjutant-General T. Johnston, stationed at Washington, In a letter received yesterday, approves the des ignation of the University as a proper' place for a training unit. He states, however, that at present there is a severe dearth of good army officers and that for this rea son establishment of a unit here will be delayed somewhat. Presi dent Campbell is not hopeful of hav ing an officer stationed at the Uni versity until next full for this rea son. Designation of the University as a training omit for candidates for tho officers' reserve corps were applied for last June when the regents ap proved the plan of compulsory mili tary training for all students. The matter was held up waiting the ap proval or Captain Willis Shippam, U. S.

Cap tain Shippam quickly forwarded his approval when the regents a few weeks ago asked for bids for tho construction of drill quarters.
