| throughout the state celebrated II in
proper manner. There were some exer-
cises IN a few rooms Of Astoria schools

grounds and thc inculcat.0n Of the prln-
ciplc Of sustaining and improving fores-

held elaborate exercises and the children
planted trees. Cla,sop county at
| present possesses an abundance Of trees
and the present business proposition above
all others Is 10 utilize the lumber. but

fostering Of its cultivation 50 that a few
years hence will not gee the complete de-
yastation Of the timber Of The country.
II is The time now before the timber is all
cut away to look TO the future and Arbor
Day should be- zealously observed here
