The Mayor ot Roseburg will pull the string, or press the button, or ring: the bell, for the curtain to rise pn the sixth annual Strawberry Festival of Rose burg tomorrow morning.

There are tents In the streets, tents in the al leys, perhaps tents on the housetops. . 1 have not got that high yet. This is , the driest dry town that was ever : parched to a dryness that would make : a Maine prohibitionist sing psalms of praise or woe, depending whether he was real or counterfeit. There are tents on the hillsides and tents in the valleys. Under every tent there Is a real show coming to a head. Tomorrow- the show actors and their suffragette partners will appear, but stop a moment, while I ring and ask . the bellhop of the hotel if by chance or design he has not found but it's no ' use. The landlord of the Umpqua would have discovered. recovered and squenched it ere this, long ere this. Roseburg. thy name is Sahara, and when I packed my grip in Portland but no matter. All four prohibition Governors may be elected, then what will we do? What a day this is, and what weather We are promised for tomorrow! - Noth ing more perfect could be wished, and what a Spring it has been. It is just rlffht to gie to the celebrated Rose bOrg strawberries just the proper size, the appropriate color and perfect fla vor for which they are noted, the I was going to say the world over, but I will change it to the country over, for I am sorry to say, the people of the old world, have never enjoyed the God given 'privilege of eating a perfect strawberry. What a setting -for a festival or car nival of any king! What a beautiful city! What lovely surroundings! Look to the east, the north, the south, the west, look in any direction at the wood ed hills. (This expression is used again to see if tlie types will again make me say wooden hills.) What could be more lovely than the setting on this Spring day of this City of Roseburg?

Judge Kelly Holds Measure Unconsti tutional Because It Does Not Make Exceptions. -ALBANY, Or., May 20. (Special.) Albany's, "hip-pocket"1 ordinance, which prohibits carry ins - Iiquer along any street in this city except in the orig inal package in which it was shipped, was held unconstitutional and invaiid by Judge Kelly in the State Circuit Court here today. The court sustained a demurrer to the complaint in the case of the City of Albany vs. WaltT Marks, which had been appealed to the Circuit Court from the City Recorder's court here. . Marks was arrested a lew weeks ago while carrying three bottles of beer in his pockets. He was charged with violating this ordinance and ad mitted the facts in the case, but fought the case on' legal grounds, attacking the validity of the ordinance. City Re corder Van Tassell "adjudged him guilty and ne appealed tne case to the Cir cuit Court. "The local option law of the State of Oregon accords the privilege of the sale of intoxicating liquor under cer tain conditions, such as In cases of actual sickness, upon a physician's pre scription, from one registered pharma cist to another registered pharmacist and of pure alcohol -for scientific pur poses and of wine for church offi cers and sacramental purposes," said Judge Kelly. "The state of facts was agreed upon in this case, but there was no mention of the reason for which the defendant was carrying liquor he admits was in his possession. It was urged that trie defendant could come in and show that the purpose for which he was carry ing the liquor was for one of the ex ceptions allowed by the local option law, but this would be putting the burden of proof upon the defendant and that in not expected of a defend ant in a criminal case." In announcing his decision. Judge Kelly cited the case of Ex Parte Kameta in 36 Oregon 251, and of In Re Wong Ha-ne, 10 California 680. LODGE DELEGATE DIES C. "W.

' - CANNERIES' NOT TOUCHED Low Average Caused by' 1"hoX That Many Plants Operate for but Few Days Each Week and Salary -Is. Below Limit. SI OLTMPIA, Wash.. May 20; (Spe cial.,) Adoption of $6.90 as . the mini mum wage for women factory workers, as .recommended by. the recent factory conference, will necessitate ultimate increases' to the weekly pay envelopes of between 60 and 60 per cent of the girl and women workers in establishments- operating the year around. It is Indicated by data collected by the In dustrial Welfare Commission.. The factory minimum, as . recom mended, is $1.10 lower than the mini mum of $10 establfsbed in -this state for mercantile employes. - It appears, however, that there Is a difference now of more than $1 per- week in the aver age wages of factory and mercantile employes, "and the $8.90 wage, com paratively speaking, will mean . as much to the factory girls as the $10 to the department store girls.' , , Reports on the wages of 981 girls over 18 and women employed in -factories that operate the year around, compiled by the Commission, show that 559, or 57 per cent, now receive $8.95 or less per week. Practically all of these, excepting such as are beginners and would come under the apprentice wage, would be entitled to the mini mum wage of JS.90. Canneries and Factories Hit. The factories in constant operation that will be affected to the greatest extent by the proposed minimum will be candy, cracker and miscellaneous foodstuffs, paper and - paper-box fac tories, milk condenserig and shoe fac tories. From 0 toJ?5 per cent of the employes in these . establishments noy receive less-than ' the proposed mini mum wage, it is shown. During a portion of each year the fish canneries of the state employ thousands of women and girls. A 10 hour day is allowed at this work, good wages are the rule and as a result comparatively little change in the standard of wages for this industry is likely to he shown. The figures of the Commission show that only about 15 per cent of the women employed last year earned less than $9 per week. The other chief seasonal industry, fruit-canning and drying, pays much smaller wages, though here, too. the 10-hour day is the rule. The figures of the Welfare Commission indicate a larger percentage of poorly-paid work ers in this industry than in any other. While the new rule will operate to raise many, its exact effect is prob lematical, for in many cases the ap parently low wages are caused by the cannery operating for only four or five days a week, the total earnings of the workers being reduced correspond ingly. As the ruling recommended is a weekly "wage rate" of $8.9"u instead of a wage of that amount, this condi tion of decreased earnings would con tinue. . Welfare Commission to 3Jeet.'
