A SUCCESSFUL SHOW.
Streets of Salem Crowded With
Cheerful Farmers.
DISPLAY OF BLOODED ANIMALS.
An Air of Prosperity Visible on
Every Hand---BOth Local
and Imported Stock.

The observer who was on the
streets of Salem today must have
wondered from where all the people
came who were pushing their way
along the crowded sidewalks. The
clerks in the stores have had all
they could do all day. The streets
have been almost jammed with We
hicles, horses and passengers. Signs
of general prosperity are seen by
the cheerfulness displayed on every
hand, and strong bealthful condi-
ton in this part of the valley.
The horses were in much better
condition than they were at the
show year ago. The time being
set two weeks later has had a good
effect both in the condition of the
horses and in the attendance. Some
of the horses which were left on the
farms last year were seen in the pa
rade today. Yet week later would
doubtless be better time for the
show. The condition of the streets
has been a great disadvantage to the
display today. Among the horses
in the city today are some with a
reputation as will be seen by the
notices given in the comments. Be-
sides some imported horses there
were Others bred in the east. Some
from California and from all over
the valley. In all it was the best
display of horse flesh ever held In
the Capital of Oregon.
The procession for the parade
formed on Commercial street under
the leadership of E. &. Cross, as
marshal. The JOURNAL will give
