The Queen's float and corona tion this year will be n new de parture and one that will no doubt meet the favor of everyone as well as Bring to tho Carnival a refreshingly new note, one in keening with the early history of Douglas County. Tho Queen will appear in the parad'es and at the Coronation Thursday morn ing as Princess Thelma, an Indian maiden, and her four attendants will be princesses of a lower rank. The float for tho royal party is the largest ever to be used here, and, ls a huge birch bark canoe, mirrored In a lake of water. As the irmpqua Chiefs have complete charge of the Carnival, It is thought only appronriate that the Indian lore on which the Chiefs organization is built and in whlrh the early history of this country Is so rich, should ie brought Into the Carnival ln some manner. The float far surpasses ln beauty any previous attempt, and the novel Idea haa already received wlde- jpraad publlrlty. The Corona ;tion on the Court House Lawn I Thursday morning will he in 'keeping with the Indian theme, j and be entirely different from Janvthfng In former years. Beau tiful Indian costumes have hen ' ordered for the maidens, and the I unique float will as usual, lead ! all. the purodea during the three 1 days.

The Douglas County Concert band, because of the state wide reputation which It has achieved, has been chosen by the state fair board as the official band for the annual state fulr, and has been givn a flattering contact for that event. The band will pluy an en gagement for the full week and promise state fair goers a real pro gram of music. The band has been promised the full backing of tho Umpqua Chiefs and Umpqua Squaws, and expect to stage an entertainment at the slate fair which will attract a great deal of attention to Hoseburg. The band will also be aided by Mrs. Kred L. Strang and will present a mixed program twice each day during the stute fair The band will take a large circus tent from Hoseburg and will set up its own camp. A cook will be secured and the boy a will keep up 1heir own quarters during the fair, limlnatliig the necessity of disband ing and going to separate quarters each day. This plan will also serve to keep the hand together so that they will be available ut all times. The band, according to the marts ager, A. T. liwreuce, has been working for somo time to land this contract, which is one of the most eagerly sought "Jobs" In the state. Heretofore bunds have been employed almost exclusively from Salem and Porllnnd, and It is sel dom that an iipsttitu baud is given such recognition.

Circuit Judge U H. Mc Mahan today dismissed the peti tion. ln his order of dismissal he called attention to the fact that the code grants 20 days after certifying of the ballot title to take an appeal from the ballot title of the attorney-general and that there could be no appeal from the decision of the circuit court In such cases. He points out that In the present case the relator failed to file his appeal within the time allowed by the code awl attempt ed to aecure an order by Injunc tion, which, if allowed at this late date, "would render all signatures now obtained by the proponents of the measure valueless and deprive I them of the opportunity to com- time prescrjbed by Jaw therefor.

Judgw McMahnn grant ed a temporary restraining order last Friday, when the suit was filed. Stating his reasons for attacking the referendum, Mr. Chapman said today: I "I wan fighting to uphold the cigarette tax because I believe that every legitimate effort should be made to protect the revenue of jthe slate and I favored the cigar ette tax because It falls with less severe burden upon the pocket- 1 books of the peoplo than any oth er measure. Industries, property nnd necessities are carrying all the burdens they should carry and the tax on cigarettes Is neither : onerous nor does It strike Indus- I try, property, nor necessities."
