On next Monday the great Jack
son Couny Parade and Celebration
will take place at Ashland. 1t
looks as though everybody who can
ride or walk will be there. either as
spectators or participants in the
events The committees are getting
everything ready for the big crawd.
1t will be wise for as many as
possible to bring their dinners with
them, as the restaurants and lunch
stands will be rushed to capacity.
II Is suggested that stools and boxes
be brought to sit upon while the
parade Is forming and passing by, as
Is estimated that II will take an
hour and a half for the parade to
pass a given point. once 1t is in mo-
ton. The crowd is asked to spread
Itself out along the line OF march,
so there will be no unnecessary
crOwding on few blocks.
The parade will undoubtedly be
the most popular feature as those
in charge have offered sa many lib
eral cash prizes that the competi.
ton will be keen. Jesse Winburn
has announced another cash prize
for the musical features. In addl-
ton to the $50, offered for the
snappiest band, he will give $25. In
cash for most unique musical fea-
ture. This means that any kind of
instruments can be used, from a
fife to a grand piano. Four or more
musicinas will be required in any
band that cOmpetes for this prize.
The stunts In the parade will
alone be well worth seeing. Many
will compete and take part In this
feature that will make everybody
laugh.
The Committee has put the ad-
mission charge to the big wrestling
match between Thye and Hand at a
dollar to all parts of the house, ex-
cept few seats at the ringslde.
This Is about half OF the price us
ually asked for standard wrestling
mathches such as this will be. The
Mayors OF each City and Town In
the County and their families will
be given complimentary tickets for
ringside seats.
The ball game at the High School
grounds in the afternoon will fol-
low the wrestling match, and will
give the crowd a fine chance to root
for their favorites The Elks teams
from Medford and Ashland are so
evenly matched that the game pro-
misses Il be closely contested up to
the last man out.
The stunts to be performed by
Pangborn and Clark in the flying
machine while the ball game is in
progress will supply all the thrills
that are good for you. These two
aviators are so daring In their per-
formances that their regulations ex-
tend all up and down the coast and
well over into states further east.
OF course the fireworks display
at night will furnish the spectacu-
lar feature Of the occasion II will
be a display such as few people
have seen surpassed. The Hit
Fireworks Co., which will handle
this part OF the celebration, say they
have some mighty big surprises in
store, and thousands will say "0h,
Isn't that magnificent" when things
begin to 90 off.
Patriotic speeches of ten minutes
each will be delivered by a number
OF well-known Jackson county ora
tors in Lithia park while the. wrest-
ling match is on. This will enter
tain those who are not interested in
sporting contests.
Altogether the Jackson county folks
are going 10 show the rest OF the
state what they are capable OF doing
when they really get going. Mrs.
Chas. Loomis and other ladies toured
the country Saturday lining up the
different communities and getting
things shaped up for the parade.
