In most instances trees wsrs plan ted ~
memorials, but this tree was planted not
only for Its beauty or the dignity Of
nature. but a protest against the ruth
less waste Of natures work.
In closing she said: 1--WE do not fall
to appreoiats the blessings that have come
to rs through the progressiveness Of msn-
kind. We welcome all the epoch making
adva Moments which take Us nearer and
nearer to the ideal civilization, but we
believe that the destruction which has
come to the trees through the installation
Of many Of the beneteisl things is who'll
ly unnecessary. And so at this time the
Civic club which was formed not TO do
aggressive work bnt 10 cooperate with
the powers that are already established,
makes this bsginninR OF restoring 10
Portland that which has been its..crown-
glory and which unless we mend our

A Shift in Opinions.

Kansas City Journal: The domestic
troubles of Mccoy and Corbett still
seem to be the one thing of interest
in the east. Corbett is coming home
to face the music and have 1T out with
the people he says have been false to
him. This is about the best thing he
could do for the sake of his reputation
Despite the continued statements of
one or two writer's that the Mccoy
Corbett fight was fake. the bulk OF
opinion is still favorable to the idea
that the fight was perfectly on the
level. Among the men who have taken
strong stand against the fake story
are Naughton and Sam Austin, both
of whom must be adiudged good men
at sizing up fight, and neither one
of whom is slow to tell the truth as he
sees it.
Critics have big differences of opin-
ion, however, regarding fights. Naugh-
ton once concluded that Root and Ryan
We're in bad-looking fight, and the
different opinions at the time were in
teresting. The men who thought Root
and Ryan fought hard, genuine bat
tie are the ones who are the strongest
in their opinion that Corbett and Me-
Coy We're guilty of fake.
