STATE CAN GET TITLE I0E301 IOK01 I0E301 Strip Along Highways May Be Ac quired and Damaging Scenery . Is Made Misdemeanor. SALEM, Or., Sept. 11. (Special.1 The California legislature in 1315 en acted a law providing- for acquisition by the state department of engineer ing: of additional rights of way along the state highways to enable the au thorities to preserve trees and other natural attractions, according to a let ter received at the executive offices here today from Martin E. Madsen. private secretary to Governor Steph ens. Information regarding the system of preserving the scenic attractions in California -was sought by Governor Olcott following the announcement that he had appointed a committee to Investigate and devise plans whereby the forests abutting the highway be tween " Seaside and Cannon beach might be spared from destruction. This committee. Governor Olcott an nounced recently, will be kept intact, and a meeting will be called in the near future when some definite plan of action will be outlined. "Prom the outset of its work the California highway commission has encouraged the preservation of trees along the state highways, as weu as the planting of new trees along the roadside," said the letter. "The var ious boards of supervisors, civic bod .les and Individuals have cordially co-operated with the commission In carrying out this policy. Rights May Be Acquired. In 1915 the legislature of this state adopted an act providing for addition al rights of ways, which reads as follows. "The department of engineering may acquire for and in the name of the people of the state of Califor nia, by purchase, donation, dedication or by proceedings in eminent domain, rights of way, land or trees and groun i necetssary for the culture and support thereof on or along the course of anv state highway, within a maxi mum distance of 300 feet on each side of the center thereof, in any case when the acquisition of such rights of way, land and trees will be for the benefit of a state highway in aiding the maintenance and preser vation of the attractions and scenic bumitv thereof. "Under the provisions of this act this deDartment obtained a number of miles of additional rights of way alone the Lake Tahoe road above Placerville for the purpose of saving the trees, which were about to be cut by lumber interests, from des truction, and the result has been that the Btate by its intervention has pre served a beautiful stand of trees along that highway much to the com fort and satisfaction of the travel Ir.sr nublic." Statutes enacted by the State of California for the preservation of acenic attractions probably will be consulted by the Oregon commission in outlining Its future plans, follow "Any person who digs up. cuts down, injures or destroys any trees on any state road or highway, unless the same is deemed an obstruction by the department of engineering, its officers or employes and removed undar their direction, unless such per son has received a permit therefor from such department or its appro priate officers, or is otherwise law fully entitled to dig up, cut down, injure or destroy such trees, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Permits Are Required. "No opening shall be made in any state road or highway nor shall any structure be placed thereon, nor shall any structure which has been placed thereon be changed or renewed ex in accordance with a permit from the state department of engineering or its duly authorized officers who shall ex ercise complete and permanent con trol over such roads or highways. No stateroad or highway shall be dug up for laying or placing pipes, conduits, sewers, wires, railways or other objects, and no tree or shrub in or on any state road or highway shall be planted, trimmed or removed, and no obstruction placed thereon, without a written permit, and then only in accordance with the regula tions of the department of engineer ing Any person violating the pro visions of this act shall, be guilty of a misdemeanor. "Under these two acts the Call ' fornia highway commission through the requirements or permits has close ly regulated the cutting and trimming of trees by public service corporations and others. This commission is now co-operating with the state board of forestry in the purchase of land for the installation of a nursery for pro pagating trees to be planted along the state highways of California. "The cost of acquiring a trip of timber 600 feet wide would have been Immense and the funds provided for the state highway system were not adequate for such use. However, at that time the possibility of the cut ting off of the timber for many years, if ever, appeared very remote but un expectedly with the opening of the state highway a number of camps were Installed for the cutting of the redwood trees into railroad ties and grape stakes. Parks are to Be Created. "Some time intervened before the friends of the redwoods awakened to the fact that if the cutting continued one of the greatest natural assets of this state would be lost to the visi tors to many sections of California. About a year ago a determined and organized effort was made by the board of supervisors of Humboldt county and prominent citizens of this and other states, the result of which -was the raising of sufficient funds to, induce the timber cutters to re train from further cutting for a spec ified period of time. In the meantime plans are being made for the crea tion of several parks of the redwoods besides the preservation of the trees along the state highway itself. "Not only has the commission ought to preserve and encourage the planting of trees along the state high ways but it hai also endeavored to protect the other natural beauties of the country traversed by the state Highway system. "A successful campaign has also been waged, against signs and our law on that subject, insofar as state highways are concerned, follows: " 'No sign, picture, transparency, ad vertisement or mechanical advertis ing device shall be placed upon or over any state road or highway with out a permit from the. department of engineering or its appropriate of ficers, and. if so placed, shall be a public nuisance and may be forthwith removed from any such road or high way by the department of engineer ing it officers or employes, and any tore Closed .onday TV FT M Jewish Holiday Sam'l Rosenblatt & Co.

Mr. Madsen said in his letter that the sign nuisance has been almost entirely eliminated in California, and that with ctrict laws regulating the destruction of forests along the high ways, the state has been able to pre serve its scenic attractions. Although Governor Olcott appoint ed his committee primarily to consid er means for preserving the forests along the Seaside-Cannon beach high way, scenic attractions aalong other roads will be considered.
