Sutherlin police estimated 12,000 persons watched the grand parade Saturday morning. That night, 600 persons attended the queen's ban quet at the IOOF hall and an un- estimated number danced through most of the night at the three dances. Sunday afternoon, even the ex panded seating at the Timber Days arena was unable to take care of the crowd which came to watch the logging contests. Close to 5,000 persons were on the grounds in the afternoon. . The queen contest committee expressed its thanks to the Suther lin stores of Holgate's, Golden Rule and Lowell's for the prizes for the court. A Roseburg man, S. H. Wing field, 427 W.
