STATE INSTITUTION,
Qorornor Hcnson this afternoon
appointed tho following as tho board
of trustees of the State Institute for
Tubercular patients: Robert A.
Booth, Eugene; A. L, Mills, Port
land; Leslie Butler. Hood River;
Geo. P. Jiodgers, Salem; tho gover
nor and presfdent and secretary of
tho State Hoard of Health are ex
officio members of this board.
Tho matter ot a Cherry Fair for
this year has beon rocolving closest
attention by a committoo of business
men tho past fow days, nnd It Is
qulto probablo that Salem will this
year hold its fourth annual
Chorry Fair, and that it will bo tho
groatost event of thnt klud over
known.
A finance committoo hoa been ap
pointed to glvo tho mattor thorough
consideration. Thoy will, soma time
early next week, tako tho mattor up
with leading business men on Its mor
its, and canvass the situation thor
ough!. Tho question will be wheth
er a largo enough fund may bo col
lected to glvo tho fair tho proper
standing it should have. If the com
mittee is encouraged By tho busi
ness people, tho probability is that
thoy will proceed and set tho whole
thing in motion. It s to bo hoped
thnt tho mattor will recolvo the
proper appreciation by our people, as
the Chorry Fairs held In tho past
havo not only been a good thing for
our city, for the tlmo being, but they
have done moro to advortlso Saloin
to the world and holp bring In tho
great prosperity which is upon us
than any otlior one factor.
Tho tlmo has como when Salem
should develop this Cherry Fair Into
an annual fruit carnival idea, which
will take rank w!ttitho Itoso Festival
of Portlaml, (he' Flower Fiesta of
Pasadena and other similar events
in Pacific coast rjtles.
Tho subscriptions (or this proposi
tion should be mudo, not from tho
narrow standpoint of Immedlato re
turns, but from the broad platform
of tho development ot our resources
tho enlargement of our city (n tho
eyes of tho world.
