Handsome prizes will be of f fered f.r the victorious teams and the ; drills will be held in plain view of the " public ic the streets. Many of the ' lodge have attained great efficiency, it is understood, in drilling, and the contests to take place here promise to be exciting. Each drill team will bo in its lodgo uniform and capable judges will be appointed to award the prizes. Just what character of uniforms will be seen can not be ascertained, but the local members have been advised to spnico up something great as visiting Mooso intend to como prepared both in dress and equipment to show tho people some fine stunts in the way of march ing. Concessioners are already making de mands for space during the week. Un less everyone can present a Bona fide proposition the Moose refuse to sanction their appearance at the carnival. How ever, several live Salemitcs will he seen on the streets behind booths well stock ed with the usual holiday goods, such as the carnival spirit brings, and every one is Invited to dig in and enjoy them selves to the fullest extent. The Moose members declare thnt they will show the visiting public and local people a good time if thoy havo to bust a sus pender, and that they want the public in general to understand that tho car nival is not being given for the lodge members only, but for the public, and evoryone is cordially invited to take part in the sports and other contests which have been arranged for each day. There will be bsnd music on the streets both dav and night, the local orcler having engaged several organ izations outside of the different Moose bands to take part. Special Days On May 20, each state society will be requested to take part in the jolli fication and that day will be set aside as State Society Day. Written invita tions have been sent to all lodges of the order and as many of tho other soci eties as are known by the Moose, and all others not yt being a recipient of such invitation, are requested to be on hand in war toga to assist in raising things from the foundations here. Wednesday, May 1, has been set aside as Fraternal Day. Every frater nal order in tho Northwest has been asked to participate' in the celebration on that date and it, is more than prob able that Sulein will bo honored by the presence of many other lodges then. Tho best drilled lodgo team on that, date will bo awarded a silver loving cup by tho Moose lodgo and it is hoed by the committoo on entertainment that local orders will take part in the drills together with the Moose and other lodgos from oth;r placos. The committees arc exerting every effort to get word to other lodges throughout the Northwest to como to Salem on May -1 and get acquainted. I In view of the fact the "Woqdinen of tho World will spring out in its fine duds three days during tho carnival, and 'is now !unmng to hold its annua) con- vention here, assures tho Moose that (they will be only too glad to assist in making fraternal day a success. The W. O. W. will elect delegates to tho main ramp during the convention and Inge numbers of visiting members of that order will lie in Sulem during the carnival. On tho 22nd, Thursday,, things will I be humming for sure. This is Eiigcue ! Afhany l)ay and tho two southern cities , hnve assured the local Moisu thnt they will turn out in full force and bring along lot only bands, but a I'ruikei- jack of a base ball team, composed en tirely of Eugene Moose members, on thnt date. Oh! you Eugene-Albany. Salem rreds you and will surely tickle vour riln and chuck on under the chin. Eugene has issued a challenge to the Moose of Salem for a base bn(l game, and tha Salem order will muster up nine tossers to meet tho sister lodge bunch. A grand parade has been arranged for thnt date and In the evening a grand ball will be given in the Moose hall to hich the general public is in vited. , Tho "Prune City of the World." Dallas, has been asked to parcipate dur ing Friday of the carnival, this day having been set aside as Salem-Dallas Day. Walter L. Toor.e, Jr., of Dallas, took up the matter of visiting Salem that day with the Dallas Commercial Club, ard the organization voted to SALEM, OBEQON, SATUEDAT, MAT 17, storm tho Capital City on tho 2.'(d. The 'Moose committee has arranged a mon ster auto parado on Hunt date and Mr. Toozo advises Secretary Turner that he can bo sure of antes from Dallas to take part in the procession. Secretary Turner also declares that link local automobile owners havo sig nified their intention of joining tho larade and that ho hopes to have enough machines beforo tho dnto set to reach much longer in distance than on tho occasion of the bridge celebration hero. Hatuidny, the last day of the carni val, will bring several hundrod Moose and other carnival-loving citizens from Portland, it being Portland Day. The Salem lodgo has been Informed that every "dod gasted Mooso in Portland will bo with yer." Portland Moose, have attained a reputntion as live wires and that they will take the wrinkles out of Salem Saturday the 24th, goes without saying, and the Salem Moose members declare that the metropolis visitors can havo anything they want just as 1( ng as they lenvo the hall in tact on the corner of Court anil High streets. Will Initiate 100 . In connection with holding the big rnriiivnl. tho Salem r of !.fn will tnko ii: 100 new members some time during the week, the lodge having sie. ere led in signing up this r.nu her In the pnst few months. A contest is now on in which a prize is to be awarded to the member who turns in the most ap plications, and Moose list's been scour ing the woods for every likely man he could find to boost the member dilp. The poor, old lodge gout will have the hardest time in his life when he tackles these 100 men who will be invited to ride him at least twicn around tho hall and tho members will no doubt be com pelled to tighten their belts and nearly bite an eye-tooth in two in order to awake the next morning without a lame back from laughing too much. The sntics performed by the new members while they are being put througa the mill will be interesting, 1913. and Tha Capital Journal has been as sured that it will bo given an accuruto description of the whole affair. "Let 'er buds and bo durned," said one ap plicant yesterday, "I've rode a wild hoss and on a S. P. train and come out safe, so why should I worry and get a wrinklo." However, the old saying of "live and let livj" will prevail when tho vic tims for initiation como beforo that se lected body which will have its work outlined for it, and thero is no cause for tho 100 prospective moinbers to take out a life ihsurunco or back out on their replication. While one innmiioi is getting his declare the initiating body tho other follow who hns already got ten hisn' can si and by and gloat or feel sorry for the poor cuss, just us bo pleases.

It is the sincere dosire on the part of tho parade committee of the Moose carnival that every automobile owner in the city take part in the big parade which is to take place on Salem-Dallas day, Friday, May 23, No maculae tteed be ddcoratod unloss the owners so de sire but every available auto in the city is needed to make the parade the big gest and best of the kind ever seen in the city. Many outside automobile enthusiasts will bo here for the parade and the Mooso wont Salom to go on record as having pullod off one of the lengthiest,, if not tho longest, vehicle parades ever made on tho coast. In the event the parado succeeds to this extent, photos and descriptive articles will be sent to all tho leading lodgo periodicals and to the Reading magazines in the east. It is the intention of the Moose parado committee to engage an export news paper photographer to catch a panoram ic picture of the parade from the top of the Masonic Temple while the pro cession winds up Stato stroet oast. Motion picture companies will be asked to visit Salem on tho date and pro visions will also be made to have pan oramic views taken with those ma chines. All thoso who have cars aro unable to drive tho same on Friday, will con fer a grout favor upon the parade com- mittoe by allowing it to select, coin potent chauffeurs to handlo the autoi, and allow them to appear. Railroads Boost Beginning next Sunday, all railroads in the sluto will reduce their possongor rates to one and a third which assures thoso intending to visit the Moose car nival regular excursion fares and the opportunity to visit the city and enjoy the carnival at little oxponso, as far as transportation is concerned. The Southern Pacific company is rising to tho occasion, It has issued big posters especially for tho Mooso carnival which are being tacked up in ovory waiting station and depot lu the stato. A largo number of thoso posturs have also been rocoivod by Secretary Turner, and the work of distributing them is about complotod. John M. Scott, tho 8. P. traveling passenger agent, has advised Secretary Tumor that his company is doing all It can to boost the carnival and hopes the Salem people will have a thoroughly good time next- week. Tho West Hide roads ari making preparations for excursion trains during tho week while a big ex cursion is being nuido up by Eugene and Albany. And ("clnr tha street; look out for yer hossos") llluck Rock, tho bouncing littlo city tucked away at the foot of the mountains near Falls City, is going to whnop things up during carnival week by storming Salem with about one hundred Moose right from that animal's stamping grounds. Thero will bo pawing of earth, the scent of the wild and general pow wow when Illac.k Hock tu'iis louso on the Capitol City. Warning has been sent iilung by tha lull Moose, of llluck Rock, that this ity had better prepuro Itself for some thing quite out of tho ordinary, as Hack Rock does things when it awakes and starts once, and the day they visit here will sure produce some surprising results. With Black Rock's herd of Moose and Falls City's pen to boost the num ber to be sent from Dallas, Old Polk will be fittingly represented. The "Prune City" Is making elaborate (Continued on page 10),
