CHARLE8 A. BRAND
An organisation the object of
which is to beautify the entire Pa
cific highway from Canada to Mex
ico is being promoted by Samuel
Hill and a group of influential cto
kens oi the I'aclflc coast. In Ore
gon the preliminaries are being
looked after by the Memory oar-
dens Highway association, Mr.
John G. Edwards, president; Mr.
Peter Kerr, vlce-presirent. All Gar
den clubs are being asked to co
operate. It is a monstrous under
taking but whatever progress is
made will be to the good.
Massachusetts has been working
i a similar project for seven
years but there they secured legis
lation empowering the state depart
ment of public works to improve
the highways with "such planting,
cure and replacements" as seem
desirable. Tne state highway land
scape supervisor Is in i-narge, and
the state has US own nurseries.
This work is considered a part of
hiKhwav maintenance and It has
worked miracles in Massachusetts.'
At present that plan probably is
not practicable Here in Oregon
tliougn It would be ideal. But all
wora is being done under the regu
lations and with the helpful advice
of our highway commission.
One first step in this high en
terprise would seem to be lo re
move as far as possible the man
made disfigurements to a highway
ttiat is already one ot the most
beautiful In the world.
Probably Robert Bridges, editor
of Scribqers, was hot thinking of
tne painter of some of our scream
ing billboards when he wrote this
parody, but It fits:
"He sits in a sea-green grotto
With a bucket of lurid paint,
And draws the Thing as it isn't
For the God of Things as they
ain't."
There cao be no question about
the unslghtiiness of some monstro
sities and they ought to go. But
there can also be no quest, on that
some ot the billboard , advertising,
especially that of the larger com
panies, is artistic and beautiful.
But even a beautiful bliloard
should be placed so that it does not
mar the scenery mat belongs to
the whole world. On tne other
hand, I can think of several spots
not so far away, that would be Im
proved if entirely surrounded by
roster and Kleiser billboards. We
can t condemn all billboard adver
tising with one majestic sweep of
the hand.
A sentiment Is growing the na
tion over that resents disfigure
ments, whether advertising signs
or hot dog stands, and that public
sentiment Is getting results. Some
of the big oil companies have heard
the rumblings of it, and indeed
sympathize with it themselves, and
have removed their own signs by
the thousand. That Is fine. But the
removing of other peoples signs is
not so simple. Our highway com
mission does not allow any sign to
be within 22 feet ot the edge- 01 the
pavemout, but there is no sign so
ghastly that a man cannot put it
where he likes on his own proper
ty back of that line, unless, of
course, it becomes a menace at
some dangerous road intersection.
But a drive Is being made
against the great Rlchfieid beacons
wnicii seems to be ill considered,
is the big tower north of Ko&eburg
any harder to look at than a tail
windmill? And sometime it will be
a great help to aviators flying at
night. Ihe Richfield service sta
tion being built beside it is archi
tecturally one of the most beauti
ful ever built, and the whole plant
Aill be an ornament to the high
way. Uoseburg's thoughts and inter
ests used to follow the railroad.
Xow they follow the highway.
There Is one thing about the ap
proach to Rofeburg on the north
that does not Indicate a forward
look or suggest that we are ambi
tious and expect to grow. As you
Irive down tram the north throuuh
the prosperous and growing Eden
oower or Riverside section you re
member perhaps that a lot of those
houses stand In what not so long
ago was Harry McClethm's corn
field. You drive a little farther In
to town and come to the city gates
two handsome columns marking
what? A man said to me, "Why
ire your entrance posts here, so
far inside the town?" That Is a
hard one. Rut after fumbling for a
reply t remembered that Mark
Twain said "When in doubt, speak
the truth," and told him that these
columns announcing to the strang
er that he was about to enter Rose
burg had been built only recently
but unfortunately had been set to
.nark the city limits ns they were
stahiishfH twpnty-flvp years pirn,
ind that probably had great anil
juarlan interest but that they were
.11 a queer place, that they were in
the ruht church but in the wrong
,ew, so to speak.
Of course the city has grown.
but the city limits, on paper, have j
not grown correspondingly. After)
all. what of it? Who is Interested
in the paper limits? The welcoming J
city gate posts are not built by 1
progressive cities to meet any le
va 1 requirements or to mark fire I
limits. They are to tell the Strang-
er that he is about to enter A ho;-'
pitahle, fornurd-lOokinR town, and ,
that the town thinks well of itself, j
The legal city limits, like the !
equator, is au iai.'.giuaiy liuu R L;

charge of one of the districts
where there had been several for-

"Monsieur lo Prefect: I am in
formed that a number of fires have
broken out in the department. You
will please have the individuals
convicted of having set them ishut

out again I shall see to giving you
