;With good weather on the schedule the Cherrians expect
UJ.& ;IJ$.' thousand ylsitros, , coming

. Routes hare been arranged by
the Cherrians to give sightseers
the best views. Doy Scouts of Sa
lem have tendered their services
as directors of .traffic at the vari
ous corners and intersections.
The first route starts at State
and Commercial streets and runs
south on Commercial , street and
the Liberty road to Rosedale, east
past the Friends church to the
Pacific highway and. return. The
second crosses the Polk county
bridge off Center street, turning
immediately to the right to the
tulip farm, or proceeding on the
Wallace road turn west on the
Orchard-heights road, along which
many of the beautiful Polk county
orchards are located, then double
back to Salem. . , .
Salem's large and multi-colored
tulip plantings have long been re
nowned in the state... The tulips
are in full bloom and sightseers
will be delighted, with the varie

Committee Reviews History,
Extent and Significance of
Vast Forests
WASHINGTON. (Special)
Thirty some years ago a president
was threatened with impeachment
for the creation of national for
ests in the west. ,
Today the national forest has
become an accepted institution of
theAmerican people and its pop
ularity Is shown by the powerful
public protests made at various
attempts to infringe upon these
public psoperties.
So the American Forest Week
committee here says in a state
ment regarding the supoprt given
the federal forest policy made in
connection with the observance of
American Forest Week, April 23
to'30.
It was in Cleveland's second
term, the committee relates, that
he was threatened with impeach
ment for creating additional for
est reserves "without an act of
congress.
Patrolled and protected by uni
formed rangers, the western na
tional forests of today with their
network of trails, Toads and tele
phone lines, and fire lookouts,
were originally "wild lands of the.
public domain, where mountain
eer and plainsmen had free run of
the timber and grazing, and de
vastating fires burned unchecked.
A brief history of the develop
ment of the national forests which
take up 153,000.000 acres of land
in the west, including Alaska, is
recalled by the American Forest
Week committee.

land grants, homestead and tim-

Viewed from one of the promon
tories south of Salem the wonder

may be appreciated. Far into the
distance the , blossoming orchards
may be seen. There are pure
white blossoms, delicate pink tint
ed blossoms, while intermingled
among these orchards thedark.
green firs lend a splendid setting
for the picture.
In each and eVery orchard the
gladsome songs of the feathered
songsters make merry and add to
the charm of; the season. ' -""A.-""
Through the midst of this verit
able fairy land the beautiful WIl-

lanieiie river,t appearing as a sil
ver thread, winds its course along
the lowlands ' throueh deen cuts'
and along the verdan't meadbw-
lands, on and on until the eye can
follow it no more. .
Then far in the ' distance the
Cascade range of mountains may
be seen, serving as a dim back
ground for the entire picture. Ma
jestic snow clad' mountain peaks
add grace and beauty to the scene
as the sun's rays bring out each
high and low place. They seem
to serve as the white pillars for
the blue vaulted heavens. "
Springtime in the Willamette
valley is nature at her very best
in every . new and modern and
brightest dress. It cannot. : be
equalled." : ;
Extensive plans have been made
by the Cherrians for, Salem's An
