The following letter, which Is self
explanatory, has been sent out to all
commercial and civic clubs in the
state by Marguerite A. Salmon, sec
retary of the Highway Scenic Pro
tection, committee of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce:
"Sometime ago the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce appointed a very
important committee called the
'Highway Scenic Protection Commit
tee." The general purpose of this
committee is to see that the highways
of Oregon are protected forever from
unsightly buildings, unnecessary log
ging operations, the throwing of tin
cans and other rubbish along them, in
fact, anything that would make them
less beautiful. If necessary, this
committee is prepared to recommend
proper legislation to secure this pro
tection. "Thecoiiimittee ban also placed its
stamp of approval en a statewide For
est Protection Week' frdm May 23rd
to L'fith, inclusive, in which every
possible emphasis will be laid on the
r.eeef.iity of protecting the forests of
the North west from needless destruc
tion. This fire protection week is
the suggestion of the National Parks
iissofiat ion of Seattle, and we haves
been asked to 'join Willi the state of
Washington in promot ing it The slo
gan i f tin? week v,:'i 'Let's li.ivo a
in having reproduced on the banks
of the Columbia river a block house
at the spot where General Sheridan
fought, and in this connection the
cooperation of the Oregon and Wash
ington Historical Societies is request
ed. It is hoped this will be dore be
fore the Shrine oenvention.
"This committee is also very much
interested in the passage of a bill
introduced by Senator McNarv and
Congressman McArthur which will
add a certain area, including Larch
mountain and its invirons. to tho
Oregon National Forest, in order that
the waterflow of Multnomah and On
eonta creeks may be saved.
"It has occurred to our committee
that the various civic organizations,
womens clubs, etc., of the state might
well appoint highway scenic protec
tion committees of their own, which
would cooperate with the committee
of the Portland Chamber of Com-i
Commerce. The Idea In back of this
is that there would then be no com
plication of efrort3.
"If this has the approval of your
organization. I would be very glad
to hear from you at an early date
concerning the matter so that I may
outline our further plans to you."
