The treee embrace numerous species, many of which are noted for their great size. The Douglas Fir, one of the finest trees iu the world, predomi nates. Trees of this species fifteen feet in diameter, and three hundred feet high are very common. “ Save the forests and store the floods’ ’ is the government's policy towards Oregon. To preserve the forests large tracts have been set aside as forest reserves, which in the drr season are patrolled by forest wardens.

The people of Oregon are, in gen eral, of American birth and parent- age.They are active, progressive, law abiding and proud of their Oregon citizenship. The old pioneers are largely in evidence. Great respect is shown tbe men and women who braved the dangers, and endured the hardships incident to the early days. The State Pioneer Associa tion bolds an annual reunion. Around the camp fire and festive board these hardy builders of the state recount the trials of a historic past. The Orange has a strong hold upon the state. Its influence for good is widely manifest iu the social and civic polity of the state. Tbe Chautauqua, too, is widely established. The association holds annually two general assemblies, one at Gladstone Park, near Ore gon City, the other at Ashland, southern Oregon. Both associa tions are active, progressive, clear of debt and each year present at tractive programs. Their platforms have been graced by maDy of the ablest men and women in the na tion. The state militia, under the new re-orgxnization act, was reduced from three to one full regiment and one separate battalion of infantry, one battery of field artillery and one troop of cavalry. Each arm of the service is highly disciplined, ably commanded and equipped ac cording fo regular army require ments. The organization is ready for active service in the field at a moment's notice. Education receives much atten tion in Oregon, and the standard of intelligence is exceptionally high. The state’s educational system is comprehensive, beginning with the common school and culminating in the state university. The state adopts a uniform series of text, books and provides a regular course of study, covering eight years for tbe common schools, supplemented by a strong high school course.
