THE CHERRY
FAIR WILL
Be GREAT
COMMITTEES REPORT LAST
NIGHT AND ALL PLANS ARE
COMPLETE FOR THE GREAT
EST EVENT EVER HELD In
SALEM.

A general meeting was held last
evening at the Board of Trade rooms
by the committees of the Cherry
Fair and the coming fair discussed,
reports from committees listened to,
and plans formulated for further
work to be done in preparing for
the best fair that the city has ever
held.
The committee on music reported
that the services of the Salem Mill
tary band had been secured, also
those of the Chemewa band and that
efforts were being made to secure
theseryices of the Victor Point band.
The committee on comic parade
reported that it was getting every
thing in readiness and would be full
ly prepared in every way when the
fair opened. i-i
The committee on decorations re-
ported that it was exerting every
possible effort to prevail upon the
business men to decorate the bust
ness institutions, and also to endeay-
or to have the people decorate the
residence section in harmony with
the spirit of the occasion.
The uestion of constructing pa
vilion on the west side of the court
house grounds was discussed at
length and its decorations will be
cedar boughs, ocean spray and fern
brake.
C. L. Dick stated that he, togeth-
er with four members of the COM
mittee on exhibits, had made a visit
to Yamhill and Polk counties and
that these counties would furnish
splendid exhibits for the fair.
1t was decided that a booth would
be constructed wherein choice cher
ries would be sold by the box. This
is for the purpose of giving those
who desire it an opportunity to
send the specimens of Willamette
cherries to their eastern friends.

extremely becoming gown Of pink

Portland, attended the groom. Little
Miss welch preceded the bride, scat
tering rose petals along her way.
The Byrd home was appropriately
decorated. In the room where the
ceremony was performed white mar
guerites, smilax and birch we're used.
In the living room ocean spray and
red ramblers, while in the dining
room pink La France roses, pink rib
bon and birch we're most effectively
used. The flowers were arranged in
wall vases and baskets most artis-
tically.

Rick's Training Camp, Reno, New,
June 25.-If he follows his announced
program Of road work in the morning
and boxing in the afternoon, Jack
Johnson will probably enter the ring
for the big battle July weighing be-
tween 1876 and 200 pounds.
1t is hardly possible that the col
ored scrapper can hold himself up to
210 pounds, as he has announced he
will do.
His new training camp and the
shift to Nevada are going to make a
big difference in him, and it is not
going to be possible for him to keep
up his weight and train hard at the
same time.
Rick's resort, where the training
camp is located, is situated at the foot
Of a hill The cool breezes are shut
off and the hot desert sun makes the
place as hot as an oven during the
hours when the negro will train.
Johnson expects to devote much of
his time to boxing. He said today
his program would be much like that
of the Seal Rock camp, although he
will spend more time mauling his
sparring partners.
Much of the time the champion
spends in the outdoor boxing pavilion
will be devoted to clinching and
breaking away. The negro realizes,
probably better than any of his crit
les, that Jeff will make a rough close
quarters fight, and he is going to be
ready for that sort of a battle Ac-
cordingly, probably the greater part
of his work will be devoted to per-
fecting himself in in-fighting. He is
devoting a lot of time to perfecting
his defense.

rough trip over the mountain Part
of the run was made with broken

the self-confessed slayer of Johnson,
and Mrs. Carrie Kersch, who is
charged Jointly with him, appeared
in the superior court for arraignment

attorney as yet, the arraignment was
postponed until Monday.
The indictment, which was re-
turned last night by the grand jury,
recites that Webb and Mrs. Kersh

found later.
