LEBANON
STRAWBERRY
CARNIVAL
ABOUT TEN THOU
SAND PEOPLE ON THREE
DAYS-BEAUTIFUL EXHIBITS
OF BERRIES AND FLOWERS.

VI BbhIflhO AMI tIOWb bltSs
The Lebanon Strawberry, Flower
and Fine Stock show on the last
three days of the week was attend
ed by thousands of people from all
over the Willamette valley. The
attendance on the three days totaled
nearly 10000 people and the closing
day witnessed a large excursion
from Albany. The city of Lebanon
has certainly done wonders TO make
this place and the surrounding coun-
try another Hood River strawberry
district. The business men of Leb-
anon are entitled to the highest
praise for their public spirit and the
ladies for their civic pride. On the
second day Hon. B. F. Mulkey de-
livered an address in which he
touched on national topics and he
was welcomed by many people as an
old friend of this section of the
state and many urged him to make
the race for Congress.
