' ROSEBURG, Or., May 17. (Spe cial.) Six years ago a num ber of Roseburg citisens dis covered - that for . more than ten years previous the Umpqua Valley had been sending the first Oregon grown strawberries to the Portland markers, and' straightway, began to wonder why the Umpqua Valley did not make use of its early strawberry crop to gain some substantial advertising. The several communities were organiz ing various kinds of celebrations, and a few progressive citizens of Roseburg decided that Douglas County could hold an annual strawberry carnival just as successfully as other places could have their cherry, apple, pear and other fairs. Early the following Spring a num ber of men interested in Roseburg's growth and prestige held an informal meeting and made arrangements for Roseburg's first strawberry carnival. This year the fifth strawberry car nival will be held May 21-24, and, al though the season in Oregon is a month later than usual, strawberries are now plentiful in the Umpqua Valley .and for the past ten days have been shipped to the Portland markets. In another week the Umpqua Valley strawberry will be as plentfful as it is at any time durins the season. Land Still Available. There are thousands of acres In Douglas County that can be planted to strawberries profitably. The early ma. turlng feature Insures a splendid mar' ket, and it Is an established fact that the Umpqua Valley berry is delicious, bringing double the price of the Cali fornia berry in competition. The Roseburir Strawberry Carnival is the first event of the kind in the State of Oregon and the origin of the car nival is due to the fact that the Umpqua Valley produces Oregon's first commercial crop of strawberries. An extensive programme of varied attractions has been prepared. The first day will be marked by an aval anche of Moose. The second day will be children s day. Two of the special features. will be the, parade of schoolchildren and tne dsldv snow. The third day -will be devoted to the early history of Douglas County and many of the scenes and customs or early days will be depicted in the Wild West parade and show. Out of the mountain fastnesses of the Cascades will come a large troupe of cowboys and cowgirls and Indians, and the ten derfoot will be shown that broncho busting, roping of steers and similar doings of the wild and wooly West have not wholly disappeared before the Advance of civilization. Most of these wild Westerners will comtf from the neighborhood of Tiller, SO miles from Roseburg, toward the crest of the Cas cade Mountains and 30 miles from the railroad. UVeatock to Be Feature. - The principal parade on the fourth day will be of livestock. . One of the special features of the event will be the carnival ball, and the closing hours bring out every car nival feature present. Confetti, cow bells, fish horns, masks and costumes of all kinds will be generally worn. The carnival queen will be chosen from among the high school girls. A carnival king will have control of the city and its environment during the four days, but this individuality will not be known until midnight May 24, the closing hour of the carnival. As this is a strawberry carnival, strawberries will be featured and every show, window in- town will be filled with' samples of the luscious fruit grown in the Umpqua Valley.. Roseburg, as its name indicates, is the home of 1000 varieties of roses, and those who visit the strawberry car nival will see a prolific crop of roses. The beautif u 1 roses demonstrate as faithfully as does the strawberry that the earliest season In the State of Oregon- la found here. Those who visit I the orchards which lie in- all direc tions from Roseburg, will find . them loaded with fruit. Cherries, prunes, apples, pears, plums and peaches will be in evidence and testify to the won derful productiveness of Umpqua Val ley soil and the remarkable adaptabil ity of this section to successful fruit growing. The varieties of products of the Umpqua Valley are numerous, but the most tempting dish yet produced by nature is the Umpqua Valley straw berry, first In Oregon, and the first product of the state to be honored by an annual festival.
