Roseburg's Strawberry carnival started off promptly on time and under auspicious conditions, and If the future events are In keeping with those offered to the great throngs which crowded the streets this morning, there la no question but that Roseburg will have an event which will long be remembered In this city. Shortly before the opening bomb hurled a beautiful Ameri can flag high Into the air to float over the city as a salute and of ficial opening of the carnival, the sun which had been trying all morning to pierce through the thin blanket of clouds, came forth with its warmth and light, and cheered the cromd which had anxiously waited for this favor able omen. At 9:30 led by the American Legion Stafa Championship drum rorps, and followed be the Ddu glas County Concert Band, which has been selected as the official state band for the coming state fair, the Umptiua Chiefs and the tquaws in Indian regalia, swung through the business streets in the official opening procession. There was a fine representation of these two Important organiza tions in line, and the populace expressed their pleasure by liber al applause. The baby parade at 10:00 o' clock, was as usual one of the big features of the day. The number of entries was fully as large as any previous year and words fail in an effort to drscribe the many beautiful and attractive entries. There were six divisions, baby carriages, go carts, velocipedes, 'child's wagons, historical or .Mo ther Goose characters, and doll buggies, and many entries were mad'3 in each of these divisions. Carriages were most wonder fully and peorgov.sly decorated In flowers, crepe paper, ribbons, streamers, fe3toons. and every thing which ingenuity could de vise to attract the eye. Tiny little tots on scooters, and speeders, caught the spirit of the occasion, and peddled for all they were worth, keeping anxiou mo thers on the alert to prevent traf fic Jams of ssrious consequence at least to the partp-lpants. al though of much amusement to the crowds. Some exceedingly clever Ideas were worked out in a uni que way. and the crowd which completely bloclced the streets, was greatly plca-ed with the beautiful and interesting parade presented. The parade was too great in slro to give any description of each entry. Those participating were as follows: Eloda Taylor, Clarabelle Berg. Claude Russell, Tony B. Verdln, Joe Denn. John K. Ness.

I The I'mpqua Post American Le gion Drum Corps, which holds the i state championship, has been gl v.n a prominent place In all pa rades. This drum corps is com i posed of veteran of the World I War and In their neat Blue le : riis uniforms make a fine ap pearance. They play "exceptionally well togetlver and the crowd was delighted with them. The Douglas County Concert Band, ranked as one of the best bands of the state, proved Its j right to that distinction by the i quality of music offered In con certs and on the march. The band, under the direction of Mr. ' Dale Strange, is pluylng some of i he finest oi music, and Its pep py, snappy march strains aided ' greatly In enthusing the crowds and imparting the true carnival spirit.

Meteorologist Hell Bell stated this morning, af- ter an observation which re- vealvd the barometer to be very high, indicating that a rising temperature and good weather could be expected. All indications, according to Mr. Bell, are that tomorrow will dawn bright, clear and warm, and that the weather will remain that way for tire rest of the week. During the early part of the week the weather was stormy, showers were fro- quent and there were several severe electrical storms. The center of this storm area, however, appears to have shifted northward, and yes- terday the northern and east- ern portion of the state was struck by heavy rain. Mr. Bell says that his in- struments indicate that the center of the storm will pass over Hoawburs tonight. Un- til that time the weather will remain cool and cloudy, but that immediately after the center pa?es back, the tern- perature will rise and the atmosphere will clear so that real carnival weather will conclude the festival period.
