and 10 show them az much Of our city
and the surrounding trimmings OF God 8
green earth as the limited time will
permit.
Marion square with its noble forest OF
frs has been cleaned up underfoot and
overhead, all trash being taken off the
ground and the lower branches Of the
trees trimmed off, so that the cool
breezes may fan the editorial brows Of
the editors and the fair faces Of their
/ escorts.
Ten long tables have been construct
ed, and these will be loaded down with
an abundance Of good things 10 eat. ID.
T.. Kenworthy will furnish the food and
deliver it at the grounds, and each table
will be in charge Of two ladies, who will
have ten young lady assistants, insur-
ing that the guests will receive every
attention.
There will be- a short address Of well
come by Justice f. A. Moore of the su-
preme court, and there will probably be
some informal after dinner talk from
the distinguished visitors, among whom
it is needless TO say are some OF the
brightest men in the Union.
After the conclusion Of the gastrono-
mic exercises the visitors will be given
carriage rides 10 the sightlies pontst for
scenery and the choicest cherry trees.
Preparations have been made to en-
tertain about 500 people, as it is ex-
pected that number will come. There
will be $50 on the trains, which will ar
rive from Eugene in two sections at
1920. These went south Sunday on the
west side, going as far as Roseburg. To-
day they go to Ashland and back to
Roseburg, coming to Eugene during the
night. Tomorrow morning they will
take breakfast at Eugene on SINNERS
Butte, then come TO Salem.
Word has been received that l50
members of the association will come up
from Portland and join the others here.
Oregon has never before had such a
chance 10 distinguish herself in the eyes
Of the very people Of all others whose
good will may do her some good. II
will be a long time before she has
another such chance. Let Salem peo-
pie and the farmers and fruit growers
Of this section put forth their best efforts
10 give these gentlemen and ladies
rousing welcome. Especially is every
one who has "rig" urged TO be on
hand with it and TO devote few hours
10 showing as much as possible Of this,
the fairest part of the great Willamette
valley, 10 these people who come from
every section Of the union and who are
people OF standing and influence at their
homes.
