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:

The music furnished for the
I carniv-'tl this year was one of the
many things which quickly at
tracted the attention of the crowd.
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.

GOOD WEATHER IS
EXPECTED FOR LAST
The crest of the atorm
wave will pass over Hose-
burg tonight, and the remain-
der of the week will be warm
and clear. 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.

The Great Spirit has moved above our land. While
other tribes have suffered from the hands of pestilence
and disaster, and their council fires have been reduced
to ashes, peace has dwelt within our wigwams. . '
Our hills and our valleys
speak to us of plenty. The

bloom round about us, per

air of our beloved valley.
The snows o winter have
passed, spring is here, and
before us is summer, giving
promise of abundant harvest; and opening a vista of un
paralleled prosperity.
The tomahawk has long Iain buried. Our camp
fires have been unmolested, and over our trails have
come many friends to live among us.
Let us thank the Great Spirit who has blest us. Let
us thank Him by being glad and rejoicing.
Let the tom-toms call the people of our tribe to
gether. Let them dance, and run races and be merry.
For three days let all the warriors remain away from
the hunt, and let them play like children among the
wigwams.
Ligh't our signal fires, that their smoke may call the
warriors and squaws of the neighboring tribes to be
happy with us.
Let the strawberry and the rose be held before us
as emblems of future prosperity and happiness.
Let the worthy chieftians of this tribe of Umpquas,
who have valiently led the braves upon the hunt and in
the battle, now direct their joys and pleasure.
