' Journal Carriers.
s Just about in this part of the parade
came the Journal Carrier band in
white unlforma and with their rausle
almost drowned out by the people who
were cheering for them. They played
well, looked weu ana evidently made a
very good Impression on the people, not
only In the grand stand but all along
the line of march. The Journal bows

- There was a whole regiment of cadets
from the Oregon Agricultural college
they wore their natty brown uniforms
and drilled well, they showed that the
solence or iarming isn t ail tney teacn
them at Corvallis. Marchlnar in nerfect
order,-drilling and counter-marching, all
at Laa motion ox their commandant s
hand, they went through their evolu
tion in a manner that won much com
mendation from everybody.
' The Hill Military academy followed
the pony carriages with Dr. Hill and
some of the younger cadets -driving In
the big brake, decorated roses and a
crack company of the boya marching In
the parade.
Utile asses of dellarht came from
everyone who saw the Japanese part of
the parade the Cherry Blossom floats.
The first, drawn bv four horses, showed
a cherry tree covered with a glory of
Dink flowers with a number of Jao-
anese in kimonos distributing flowers
ana : good juck cards, uncle Bam in
the stars and strtDes uniform, was
one of thf pasaengers on 'th float and
served to allay any anti-Oriental feel
ing that anyone might have thought
of.. : The second float was even more
beautiful, snowing a Shinto temple with
a Japanese garden and several pretty
Japanese girls who threw flowers at
tne people as tney passed.
Riding on this float was the Japanese
consul and some or the better-known
Japanese or Portland. The Japs were
cheered enthusiastically.
Tne "Battle or the Roses" came on
tne second visit of the carada to the
reviewing stand. Queen Flora and her
maiaa oi nonor were provided with a
huge float literally overflowing with
roses ana several thousand additional
flower were passed around to the peo
ple on the stand. When the float drew
up ODDonlta the luda-ea the battle hann
Queen Flora hurling the opening rose,
and waged fast and furious for nearly
10 minutes, while the air was filled
wiin tne ziying roses.
As the rear guard for the parade
came the competing exhibits from tha
fire department. The hook and ladder
trucks, steamers and hose carts were
covered with roses the apparatus being

Forbidding all persons
engaged in acultural prif
suits to eat pic ior oreaiuiui,
and compelling such persons
to dine at 7 p. m., in even

Such a bill, says Brand
Whitlock Mayor of
Toledo, is no more 'absurd
, than much of the legislation
that the aties are getting at
the hands ot tne country
members.

Whitlock, in this week's
