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

person who shall so place the same

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.

quality of diamonds at prices as low as quoted

Kidney Remedy - for 40 Years
A Pronounced Success
When kidney diseases have been
successfully treated for a period of
more than forty years, it is reasona
ble to assume that the remedy there
fore must possess unusual merit.
Such is the remarkable record - of
Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Rem
edy. Without Its ability to give re
lief and benefit its users so that they
would continue its use. it could not
have existed 40 months, much less 40
years of its enviable record. Many
letters have come to us to prove that
it has been a household remedy for
years and years. . Here is what one
grateful woman has recently written:
I wish to say that your remedies
have been used in our family for fif
teen years. We are never without a
bottle of Warner's Safa Kidney and
Liver Remedy in our home and it has
saved many a doctor's bill. It is a
wonderful medicine for f.11 diseases of
the kidneys and liver." (Signed)
Florence E. Schmidt, R. F. D. No. 1,
Dunkirk, Ohio.
For the elimination of po'sons due
to impaired kidney action, Warner's
Safe Remedy was famous for 25 years
before this woman so judiciously be
gan its effective use. There are thou
sands of people who realize that their
general health depends upon their
kidneys and . have found Warner's
Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy a
reliable family medicine. Forty years
ago it was named "Safe" because It
is SAFE absolutely; equalising the
work of both the kidneys aad the
liver. Satisfactory results are ob
tained in the most severe jases. and
it is sold by druggists everywhere. A
sample sent on receipt of tn cents.
