MERRY END OF
CHERRY FAIR

The third annual Cherry Fair Is
now a matter of past history-a
proud and important bit Of. history
1t is. Salem has once more sus-
tained her reputation as the Cherry
City of the world, and every citizen
within her borders has reason to
feel justly proud.
The 1908 fair was a success from
start to finish. More cherries and
better ones were shown than ever
before. More time, money and
labor we're spent upon the .celebra-
tlon than In any previous year, and
never before have the results so
justified the work of preparing for
Salem's great annual event extra
ordinary.
The last day of the fair surpassed
both the other days in the number
of people and in enthusiasm. All
day the streets were crowded with
visitors to the Cherry City, and
from early morning until midnight
the cherry pavilion was thronged
with admiring spectators. among
whom were numbered horticultural
lists of national reputation from
every section Of the country. Every
authority, no matter where he hailed
from, was of the same opinion; that
Salem Is without a rival In the
cherry producing world, and that
such an exhibition OF the lucious
fruit as was displayed here during
the three days OF last week would
be an utter imposslbllity in any
city outside the Willamette valley.
Nor should the side issues In the
great celebration be forgotten. 1t
was the idea OF the committee from
the first that the fair this year
should be lacking in nothing which
would tend to enliven the interest
of the visitors and OF the Salem peo-
pie also, and furnish wholesome
amusement for them during every
minute OF the regin OF King Bing.
To that end there was added to the
1908 fair one OF the best carnivals
that has ever been held In the Chez.
ry City. Besides going to the ex-
pense OF engaging professional
carnival company, the amusement
committee worked night and day for
three weeks preparing the local
mirth-producing features OF the
carnival. That they were success
ful to a degree far exceeding the
general expectation. is the verdict
of everyone.
The comic parade OF Saturday ev-
ening reflects great credit upon Cook
Patton and his faithful co-workers
II was without exception the best
thing OF its kind that the sight
seers at local celebration have yet
witnessed.
There is no need 10 describe In
detail the final parade OF the carr
nival Every feature was a gem, and
was enjoyed to the utmost by, the
thousands that lined the streets.
The Chinese with their three floats
carried on the prize offered by the
committee for the best attraction In
the procession. The Japanese were

regretted that a dozen more prizes
could not have been given for the
