DATE IS FIXED AT
CHERRI AN MEETING
FOR ANNUAL EVENT
Sunday, April 30. will be official Blossom day for the
Willamette valley. The Cherrians, at their meeting last
night, so decreed and they are the kings and potentates
and rulers of all the blossoms.
Salem is urged to spend the time between now and April
30 ,in cleaning up every back yard, every alley, every vacant
lot, every objectionable thing that could oilend the eye or
nose or sensibilities.
The Cherrian&plan to import more visitors this year than
ever before. They expect them to come from Portland and
all over the northwest; for a tour of the beautiful, flower
snowbanked valley.
Last year, Blossom day was celebrated on April 17, but
this vear is fully two weeks later, and it is figured that the
blossoms that a year ago would have been entirely gone by
April 30, will this year be at their highest perfection.
Because of the backward sea
son, but with no severe weather
that could damage a single bud
or blossom during the whole win
ter, It Is expected that the trees
will bloom this year as never be
fore,. It should be a truly won
derful show, and the Cherrians
hope that every Salemite will live
up to' this tradition of beauty by
cleaning up the city ready for the
army of visitors.

Fordney IUII RewriUem
The average of the Democratic
Underwood tariff which the new
bill would replace, was 37.60 and
14.88 per cent, respectively, in
1914, the first year of its opera
tion and the only year when trada
was not seriously affected by the
World war or post-war conditions.
Comparing this bill with the
Fordney measure, which the
house passed last July 21, and ot
which this is a re-write, the ex
perts estimate that the average
of all rates is lower, though spe
cific rates, and more particularly
thofe on foodstuffs, are some
what higher. Exact comparisons
