Scenes In Roseburg during Strawberry Festival decorated buildings, girls selling Journals on street corner, bringing In a big Balmon and an aeroplane. the Elks' lodge has a large building elec-antlv aDDolnted for Its sole use. To ascertain if the Roseburg boost ers had really told the truth when they spun their big fish yarns in Portland, a numDer or tne f-oruana visitors toon a trip to the village, of Winchester, on the north fork of the Umpqua and tried their luck trolling. H. O. Tenney manager of Parlln & Drendorff. North west Plow Co., saved the reputation of the boosters and also that of the Port- Roseburr before many years hope to ,an1 contingent by hooking a 32 pound Da one or the big fruit shipping points In the state famous for Its red apples luscious strawberries and remarkable ' roses. Most of the strawberries in the Rose burg district are grown in the vicinity or DiUard, a small community nearby and Myrtle Creek is becoming known ror Its cherries, pears and other fruit. Myrtle Creek, so the inquisitive Port- lander waa told, controls the prune mar. ket In Oregon that Is to say, it puts out the largest quantity and the other sections of the state usually follow the sales In the Myrtle Creek district very closely. And, too. Myrtle Creek boasts of having the oldest pear tree In the i atata of Oregon.'- It has borna fruit for the part 59 years, and the man who told this deflen anyone to disprove the truth of his statement. Cherrlea 4 a Box. Thin same man said that Douglas county gTows cherries that last year old at Pittsburg for 4 a box, or six ' boxes for $24, and they were consid ered cheap at that price. And he Bays the cherries were of the average run. This year the strawberries of Doug las county, like elsewhere in the state, are late, owing to the peculiar leather conditions. May weather in April and April showers in May, but last year they were at their best about May 10, s so the date of the carnival which In former years had been held about the 20th, waa moved up to give the visitors a chance to see the berries before they had all been shipped to Portland. The roses, too, that the committee had boasted of, were a little backward this season for the same reason, but there were enough to show that Roseburg has some right to Its name. All of the land In the Umpqua valley Is not altogether adapted for fruit cul ture, for there, like In many other dis tricts where fruit will do well, the soil is spotted, ranging from a black loam to a black mud. . Something1 About Soil. The black loam needs no Introduc tion, but the black mud may cause the uninitiated and untrained farmer con siderable annoyance unless he under stands how to handle It. so It was ex plained. Industriously cultivated, how ever. 11 will yield excellent results. In places the noil I? shallow and in Other places it is more in neied of drain age than IrrigHtion. If tiled this land would prove a valuable , as. t -to the. district, so it is exp!alned,nd this will be done as the country develops. Ideal fruit and farm land is distrib uted liberally, however, all over the val ley or valleys the main valley being broken by a large number of small llllU and there is room for thousands tst new. settlers and for w hom the liose burg Commercial club now reaches out Jta hand of welcome. It Is said that '6000 one-year apple plants were set nt last year in the valley and that about the same number of acres were planted this spring. . -.u..'feoMlnur Looking vp. , " One of the pressing: needs of the -. Umpqua valley, to give it more promi nence, it la said. Is a better organlza- tion of Its fruit growers, more con certed action and better support of the country. The county grange is said tq be working alone: that line, but it is told, has not yet met with the support that nay Be counted on. Irrigation la not foreign to the Ump qua valley. .'

Th! -Commercial iub baa hafidsoihwiiauartera and salmon in the twinkling of an eye. It took him half an hour to land him In the boat with the assistance of his boat puller, who was pretty busy him self keeping the tiny skiff from which they were fishing, from getting caught in the swirling rapids. Winchester la the favorite fishing ground. It is five miles from Roseburg on a good macadam road. The town consists of two grocery stores, the store owners also doing a pretty brisk busi ness In renting boats to -fishermen for the nominal sum of 50 cents per hour. Catches a Whopper. Mr. Tenny thought he had landed the record fish for the day, but upon return ing to Roseburg he found that one of the farmers up tho 'road always had hooked a salmon that tipped the scale at 62 pounds, and It was on exhibit In a sporting goods store. It was said, and In a matter' of fact sort of way, that salmon weighing as high as SO pounds Uave been hooked at Winchester and landed. Be It said right here that the salmon of the Umpqua are fresh in from the sea and aa active and game fin any that ever swam, and occasions are re ported when fishermen after working for an hour or more In vain endeavor to land their catch, have become ex hausted and cut the line to end the struggle. William McMurray also tried his luck at fishing. lie and a party went to the south fork of the Umpqua and nver got a bite. Thinking his friends would believe an illustrated fish story, McAJiUrray dispatched an auto to town for a 25 pound salmon and had him self photographed holding the big fish In the boat which rests on the bottom near shore, as win be seen from the picture herewith. Celebration Closes. It is difficult to get real photographs of salmon in the act of being hooked In the Umpqua. for the reason that they seldom strike except early In the morn ing or Just before sundown. The big celebration came to a close last night with a mask street carnival and grand ball, at which the grand march was led by Mayor Haynes and the queen of the carnival. Miss Ethelyn Vaughn. Next year it ia hoped to make the carnival of state wide Importance and a long step in this direction was taken Friday when the state Grange accepted the invitation -to hold its next annual convention at Roseburg In May, 1912. The Portland people who spent Thurs day in Roseburg roturned loud In their praises of the hospitality extended to them, and said that such excursions as these have a strong tendency to bring about closer harmony and bigger and better commercial relations. The Willamette Valley Baseball league will open Its season this after noon. Fitting exercises are to be held at all the baseball parks, where games are to be played and It 1a thought a most successful season will be launched. The Dil worth Derbies, one of the Port land teams, will open at Halem, while Calef Brothers, the other Portland team In the league, will open at Albany. Woodburn and Hubbard, the other two teams, will contest on the Woodburn diamond. With a compact six club cir cuit It . la . believed the league cannot help but be a success. The Willamette Valley league, with two teams playing out of Portland, is a new idea that is being tried. i ne Trl-Clty league, which waa the ruling spirit In baseball last year, gave up all hope when the continuous baseball plan of the professional leagues waa put throurh, but the fans down the valley were bound they would see organized baseball. The result Is that the Wil lamette Valley league has been organ ised. Interest locally, of course, centers around tho performances of the two Portland teams, the Dilworth Derbies and the Calef Brother. They are two of the fastest teams in tha city and aro expected to give a good account of themselves In the league. Ods Hew Grounds. The Derbies meet the Salem team on tno new capuai eivy gruuuu! um afternoon. The Salem grounds are to receive their formal opening and the game promises to be an Interesting ono. Numerous features have been arranged by Manager Archie Jermain for the occasion. Tho game Itself should be a pitcners battle of the first water. Allegart, tlia voutisr pitcher tried out by Nick Wil liams has signed to pitch for the Salem team. Opposed to him will be Julius Moreland, the Derbies' young star. Moreland proved the sensation of the local semi-professional season, for with out having any reputation to back mm e has gone Into the pitching end or tn . . . . . -I.., IT. game and twiriea umumui vnu. Mowed Gresham bur seven nits, no iwo f which were1 bunched, while Estacada secured but four blngles orr nis oe- Ivery. The Derbies are banking on mm heavily. At Albany the Calef Bros, team win depend uon Dick Hewttt. their craclt southpaw, to stop the hard hitting which has so far characterised the work of the Albany team. The boys ha has behind him will score enough runs to win the game provided, of course, Hew itt can keen the other score down. The Albany team Is perhaps the strongest In the valley, and the Calef Bros.' work will be watched with Interest Sails bury, one of Jack Grlm's old Portland pitchers, will be on the mound for Albany with Patterson behind the bat A room will look both larger and higher by the use of wall paper con taining designs In vertical lines. . y. H. C. k DEFEATS CKEMAWA BOYS IN BIG RELAY RACE White Runners Finish 13 Min utes Ahead of Opponents in Annual Salem to Portland Contest Yesterday. For the first time since the inaugu ration of the event the T. M. C. A. de feated the Chemawa Indian school In the annual Salem to Portland relay race. The white runners finished the course 16 minutes ahead of their -dusky rivals. The association took the lead In the rate from the start and gradually Increased it from relay to relay until tho finish. Harry Barndollar of the association ran the first relay against Kiutus Jim of the indian Training school and h finished tlie course about two minutes ahead of the redskin. The Indian was so exhausted after his vain effort to catch up with the white runner that he faint ed. Jim was considered the pick of the school at long distance running and the Indians were a little disheartened when he was so easily defeated by Barndollar, and thU feeling Increased aa did the association's lead, when Tommy Booth, running the second relay for the associ ation, gained another two minutes over William Mose, the second runner for the training school. Pay ton, the third runner for the V. M. O. A., held his man to a tie. This is Paytons first year in the running and he was very nervous, but despite this fact he ran a very clever and gritty race. Gain in Fourth. Frank Vanderlip, an old time "Indian si'alnnr" hum u few more minutes to the association's lead In the fofkth relay by gaining rapidly on Kdward Threemountain. h'chwa,bauer. Kurtz and Paulson, of the association, each added a little more to the white cause and irave Jack Hartman ' a lead 'of about eight minutes to start the eight'n relay. Jensvold gained still more in the ninth relay and to make a good climax', Cap tain Harry Tabb finished the last relay, running In beautiful style, with another gain of about four minutes. Tabb end ed the race at the association with a wonderful three block sprint, making the total gain 13 minutes. Last year the Chemawa school defeat ed the asHdfclation runners by the same margin of 13 minutes. This ia the longest time that has ever separated the two institutions at the finish, and la also the first time that the association has ever been the victor. The first two laps of the race were mad 4 in 68 minutes jind 15 seconds. This, was several seconds better than any previous time and Is considered lit tle short of marvelous, as the roads were almost knee deep In mud for thje most? of the course. The distance of the first re lay waa 6.2 miles and. the second relay was 6.5, or 11.7 miles for the first two relays. Harry Barndollar made the fast est time of the race in the first relay, which he covered In the remarkable time of 36 minutes. This Is the fustest time that the first lap of the race from the capitol at Salem to the Chemawa school has even been run in. Tho time is won derful, owing to the condition of the roads. Had Fine Team. The association had one of the best teams of long distance runners In the raoe that they have ever turned out. and some of them hold records from all over the United States and Canada. Cap tain Tabb broke the world's record over a live mile court, rive years ago, when he ran the distance in a little over five minutes. Frank Vanderlip has been a member of three former teams in the annual race and ho was a large time gainer in yesterday's race. Vanderlip hold; a Canadian record for 10 miles that has not been lowered In four years. Barndollar also has been in three of the races and Lie has perhaps the most of the races and he was perhaps the most experienced runner on the team, with the exception of Captain Tabb. Schwabauer and Kurtz were both mem bers of last year's team, and although they have not had the experience of their teammates they both ran a fine race and each gained something, on his man. Jack Hartman was a member of the 1309 team, which up to that time gave th?' Indians the hardest run. The redskins came In with a lead of nine rnlnutes that year. Hartman has been noted In the city-and on the coast for his basketball playing. He has been on all the championship teams the as sociation has ever turned out. Hart man ran a fine race yesterday, and like the rest of the runners. Increased the association's lead materially. Indians Are Oame. Five of the association's runners this year had been in former races, namely. Barndollar, Hartman, Vanderlip, Schwa bauer and Kurtz. The time for the entire race yesterday although several minutes slower than the record, ia considered to have been the best race, and the former record of 5 hours and 14 minutes, made over the same course last year, probably would have been broken had the roads been In proper shape, ror coon running. The time for yesterday's race waa f hours and 20 minutes. The race qtarted frorg, Salem yesterday morning at in roe minutes alter io ana ended at the association at Sixth ah Taylor streets at 23 minutes after 8. Mayor blmon, who wua to have re ceived the message which the runners carnea rroni uovernor west, was noL on hand and )t was given to H. W. Stone, general secretary of the local association and read to the crowd of Marathon en thuslasts which were crowded around the Y. M. C. A. building by the hundreds to see the finish of the great race. The Indians ran a game race but were simply outclassed from the start to the finish. The Indian runners were sadlv disheartened arter the third relay, which was the last course on which the redskin runner caught sight of the flying white runners. The team in yesterday' race were, Y. M. C.A.. Barndollar, Booth, Pay ton, Vanderlip, Schwabauer, Kurtx, Paulson, Hartman, Jetisvold and Tabb. The In dian runners were Jim, Mose, Dan, Threemountain, Alpheus, Purns, Powers; Pratt, Jones and Demert ' OREGON WINNER OF TRIANGULAR MEET Hawkins Establishes a New Record in 220 Yard Hur dles Kellogg Star. .
