Mooso intend to como prepared both in
dress and equipment to show tho people
some fine stunts in the way of march

Concessioners are already making de

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

as the carnival spirit brings, and every
one is Invited to dig in and enjoy them
selves to the fullest extent. The Moose

all others not yt being a recipient of
such invitation, are requested to be on

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

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.

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

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
