QUEEN FOR PLUG UGLIES
May oath and 25th Will Be Great
Days for Grants Pass--Fun
and Frolic.

At a meeting of the chairmen of
the Rose Carnival committees yes
terday afternoon in the Ladies' par
lors of the Commercial Club, final
plans were arranged for the great
event of May "a and 25. The mask
carnival and side show committee
had some of the most interesting Sc
crets to reveal. We regret we can
not give them here, but we can as
sure those who are planning to do
Justice to this feature or the carni-
val Tuesday evening, the oath, that
there will be no end of merriment.
AS Sixth street is to be torn up dur
ing that week, arrangements are be-
ing made to hold the side shows and
street carnival on the vacant lot east
of the Presbyterian church, the cor
ner of Fourth and e streets. E street
will be carnival street and will be ap-
propriately decorated in the carnival
colors of white and green from Sixth
street to Third. Confetti booths, re-
freshment booths and side show
booths will be much in evidence
along that street. Merchants will be
asked to recognize the occasion by
decorating their stores with the
white and green, that the business
streets may wear festive attire.
The line Of march for the parade
has not yet been determined, but
will be announced later. This par
ade will consist Of many gaily decor
ated carriages and flower floats. It
Is hoped many merchants and lodges
will enter displays. There will be
30 ladies mounted on horse back,
uniformly dressed, and this particu-
lar feature, which Is under the di-
rectioon of Mrs. Satchwell, will be
especially attractive. Mrs. Satch-
well announces she will make a much
more elaborate feature of this than
she was able to last year. A notable
feature OF Grants Pass celebrities
will be recognized in the Plug Ugley.
A queen will be run for this from
among our most popular young men.
for voting will cost a penny. Tickets
for voting are on sale at Russell's
and Schmidt's cigar store This
promises to be lively feature the
next two weeks. The other queen
of the carnival will be chosen this
year by the carnival queen commit
tee. She will appear in regal robes
and will be heralded by six little
pages dressed in white. Miss Maude
Baber, mounted on e white charger,
will be advance guard.
Special music has been arranged
for the rose exhibit, rose show and
children's May dance. The Coliseum
rink will be open the first evening for
the sake Of those not able to attend
the grand opening in the afternoon.
Music will be a feature. The baby
show the second morning, at 10:30,
will be well worth seeing. Babies
from all over the county will be en-
tered. Prizes are offered for the
prettlest, the fattest, the twins that
look the most alike, and the best ma
tured. The prizes are announced
elsewhere. The music on this oc-
caslon will be especially appropriate.
There will be n Flower Song" by the
school children. which Is quite cap
tivatlng in itself
Tho automobile parade will pre-
cede the baby show. This is In the
hands OF a good committee and will
be a splendid success II auto owners
will heartily cooperate. A prize
will be offered for the best decor
ated car. As this comes off the Sec
ond day, II will not interfere with
the use Of cars for collecting roses
and the ladies will appreciate very
much the offer Of half dozen cars
