PAGE TEN The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Wednesday Iornlngf March . 25, 1936 Historic Trees of Oregon Described -: Us .Waldo Redwood Here and Evting Young Oak at t ; Newberg on List. "' "Historic trees of Oregon were ..discussed in entertaining jnanner ".- by Lynn .P. Cronemiller, bead of tke forest extension service of tbe state, before the Salem Klwanls ;' club yesterday noon. , The William Waldo redwood ' on ' - North ; Summer street near ' Union Is the center of tbe small- Z est, jark in the United States, : Cronemiller declared, in telling how this tree was saved from de struction by the city. When the council wanted tbe tree remoTed in 1925 because of the danger it , presented to auto traffic, the American War Mothers here bad tbe tree spared on tbe provision that it be centered in a park "strip, 10 by 15 feet in size, and that a safety light be maintained ' at the south and north ap- . proaches. . i Planted in 1872 " The tree was planted In 1872 . by William Waldo, son of Daniel Waldo, who was a pioneer in the "section east of Salem which now bears bis name. The son had : come to Salem to reside and bad taten a large area of land, in . the north part of town. He pur 'chased tbe redwood from an itin- erant peddler from California and resisted all efforts to have It up- rooted, when the Waldo district i was platted and the tree was found to be in Summer street. Cronemiller said the redwood was - not the coast type but was the so-called redwood found in Yo semite park. In discussing historic trees in' the state, Cronemiller pointed out that not one of the trees is mark ed. He urged that the trees be Identified bo succeeding genera tions will know their signifi cance. , Oak is Memorial The Ewing Young oak tree in the Chebalem district near New berg is a memorial to this ener getic early settler, planted there by the wife of Sidney Smith, the latter having been employed ' by Young during his lifetime and having become his principal heir at Young's death. Disposition of Young's estate occasioned the original Champoeg meeting, Cronemiller said, as the Oregon country at that time had no pro bate law. Cronemiller described the "rid- Ing whip" cottonwood on the A. A. Geer place out from Silverton, made famous by Homer Daven port, famed cartoonist, who used to return to the Geer place to visit. The cottonwood had been .planted by Timothy and Flordina Davenport mother and father of the cartoonist who planted their ? cottonwood riding switches in a bank of a ditch on the farm when they were horseback riding as youths in their pre-marriage days. One of the cottonwoods was subsequently cut down the oth er was considered by Davenport as a memorial to his mother who died when he was three years old. The "sheep shooters" tree a large pine 20 miles east of Prine vflle was described by Crone miller as the meeting place for cattlemen of eastern Oregon and portions of Idaho when a deci sion was reached to drive sheep men from their territory. Before the campaign of guerilla warfare was launched, the federal govern ment took over the ranee and subdivided . it between cattle and sheepmen, Cronemiller said. Farm Employment Outlook Brighter Farm employment prospects have brightened here materially daring the past week, it was re ported at the state employment oTXlce here yesterday.

Here is an air view showing tbe heart of the Pittsburgh flood which is also unfortunately the business heart of the steel capital of the world the triangular region between the Allegheny, Monongahela and the Ohio rivers. The Ohio begins where the other two rivers join. The effect of the flood was carried far along the Ohio Into West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky. Particularly hard hit by the raging Ohio river was Wheeling, W. Va an industrial city of 70,000, whose Inhabitants were prepared to leave the city at a moment's notice. Sections of Pittsburgh's famed "Golden Triangle" (so-called from the color of the waters at that junction point) were hip deep with water. Tardy Cold Wave Grips Southwest KANSAS CITY. March U-JF)-A tardy cold wave gripped the west and southwest tonight as silt clouds from yesterday's dust storm rolled eastward to the Great Lakes. Visibility at Grand Rapids, Mich., was reduced to a mile and a half this afternoon by dust clouds, carried from the southwest on high winds. The silt left a grit ty film in Chicago, St. Louis and central Missouri, extending south to east Texas. Winter-like weather descended on Oklahoma. All the western section of the state felt the chill of a snow storm that blanketed the "blow lands" of southeastern Colorado yesterday. Wheat farm ers in the Colorado-Oklahoma re gion saw a renewed hope for crops in the storm. Western Kansas was nnder snow but weather observers said it was insufficient to be of much benefit to crops. A wind aid hail storm lashed at Tyler, Longview and Kilgore, Tex., damaging crops and proper ty to the extent of $500,000. Farmers said the east Texas to mato and fruit crops suffered from hail. Freezing temperatures damaged fruit in southern New Mexico. Candidate Lists Lengthening Out ing Martin X.

By this filing Stadelman will elim inate himself as a possible candi date for the state treasurer's po sition. Friends of Stadelman said he had been urged by a wide cir cle of acquaintances to make the state campaign but had decided against it due to the condition of his health as well as business af fairs in The Dalles which necessi tated his attention there. With Stadelman out of the pic ture, Rufus C. Holman, incum bent,' and W. E. Burke of New berg, are the only aspirants for the republican nomination. U. S.

Kulm Tells Woes Of Civil Service Pros and cons of the civil ser vice charter amendment in Sa lem were discussed Tuesday noon in a six-minute talk to the Salem Kiwanis club by Mayor V. E. Kuhn. Criticism of tbe ordinance voic ed by Kuhn centered in the prac tical difficulty of eliminating a fireman or policeman whose work proved unsatisfactory. "The tend ency of -the men in the. depart ments ls to regard their Jobs as certain once they have been se uredt Kuhn said. ".Most of the men. in the departments are com- fetent, able feltows but we could make some worthwhile elimina tions if the restrictions of civil service were removed." The mayor said civil service was undoubtedly needed in large cities where political favoritism would result in the upheaval of police and fire staffs if the mem bers of the departments were not protected by civil service.
