NEARLY 7000 PRESENT There was once a man who said, when the hirer! girl carried the calf into the barn by its tai) and ears after the man had been trying for two hours to coax it in with a bucket of milk,"I like a man who does things.” Jacksonville certainly does things. Possibly 7000 people, certainly 5003, attended the celebration here last Thursday and not one of them was there but had only words of praise for Jacksonville and .Jacksonville’s wav of doing things. The very best of order was main tained throughout the entire day. not an arrest being made or an accident occi rring. The weather was ideal and everybody in uo. d spirits. The eommitte ■ in charge of the cele bration are deserving of any amount of praise for bringing the day to such it glorious success. Their efforts have been untiring since their appointment, they leglecting their business nearly the» whole time in order to aid the cause In which they were so interested. 1 hose who aided the celebratii n both financially attd otherwise showed their loyalty to their county and town by helping to make this (he greatest jnbi- lee ever held here. Almost the entire town worked hard to mike it an un qualified success, not a hitch arising or a question raised as to the mode in which the celebration was being con ducted. Space and time will not permit to take up each float separately and describe them. The parade, however, was one of the most gorgeous and beautiful ever pulled off in Southern Oregon, it received praise from all the visitors, some going so far as to say that even Portland has never equalled it, outside of the industrial and commercial floats. Then the Calithumpian parade, that mirth-provoking feature which was so eagerly looked for, scored a great triumph, the grotesque take-off s ami ludicrous parodies being exceptions ly well presented. Governor Chamber- lain became "one of the boys” and drove the carriage prepared for him self while the driver sat bat k and acted as passenger. The exercises at the court house grounds, t hi lengthy to | t int, were en joyed as was the rest of the day s en tertainment, everything coming off as per schedule.
