One of the first battles fought
out in Oregon to save historic and
pioneer trees-alcrbg the beautiful
highways built by" the counties
and the state was by Miss Ella
M. Finney, assisted by theSave
Beautiful Trees committee of the
Rilverton Woman's club of which
May Risteigen is chairman. This
grand oak rtree stands In the Sa
lem and Cahmpoeg highwayk that
is to be paved this summer. It
was the old stage road and has
been.j travelled by the people of
Oregon for, three-quarters of a
century; It leads from the state
capitol to the site of the founding
of the Oregon territor and provi
sional government that first rais
ed the American ' flag over the
old Oregon country that then em
braced what are now the states
of Washington, Montana, Idaho,
Oregon and parts of Utah and
California.,- JJn a letter to Mrs.
Risteigen,'. Ella- Kinney expreses
here gratitude to allwho helped:
'Thank you, as chairman pf the
committee in Saving Beautiful
Trees of the woman's ; clugs in
Oregon. Thanks is but a feeble
word to express ray gratitude;
Thank' all the ladies for me. It's
a great thing to have-a friend, a
friend who loves you with a "heart

to close in, and around from afar,

An interesting feature of the
play is that the women's parts

Progress on the work necessary
to successfully put on the play is

of Edgar Tibbits. : ) l '

the, city some three years ago to

j Many motorbuses have been in
operation during the last j year,
but have eased the' transportation
facilities of the city only to a
slight extent. Indeed, traffic con

their use,, together with the In
