Elmer, who is in the city from West
Stayton, where he is connected with
the Willamette Valley Irrigated Lands
company, which has recently completed
an irrigation system to serve 10000
acres in that vicinity. "The idea has
so long prevailed that this beautiful
section has If anything too much rain,

that only the most convincing proof

area irrigated was necessarily very

But enough was done, so that 1t may
be confidently predicted that the com

Municipal Christmas Trees

Christmas than the idea was taken upi
in Boston. Mayor John +. Fitzgerald
himself stood sponsor for it. The tree
was set up ON historic Boston Common,
made to blaze with light, and again
were the SHOWS of heaven sifted down
upon it as a benediction. The mayor
himself presided over the celebration.
Hartford, Conn, got the idea last
year Just in time for its execution.
Here again a woman was responsible
She &al been reading Of the lew idea
that was being inalgurated in New
York, when, not week before Christ
fas, she burst forth with the ques-
tion:
"Why not Hartford ~
The time was ample A farmer do
livered the tree two days later-tho
largest one that had ever come to
town. 1t was set up in front of tho
statehouse, and as Christmas eve eamo

with the strains of Onward, Christian

Salem is to have a big municipal
Christmas tree again this year, and the
Cherrians will see that it is success,
inst as they de- with everything they
take hold Of.
Everybody's 5 Christmas tree--the mu-
nicipal Christmas tree, Christmas and
its spirit-siould grow and shed .its
growth of hone and faith in every city,
town and village in the land.
For his own saite, as well as for the
sake Of those who have no private
Christmas trees of their own, everyone
should help in the movement for
municipal Christmas tree. Wherever it
has been erected in the past it has
thelped to sweeten and brighten the
Christmas season. 1t is the focus Of

return to their homes those to whom
Christmas is home festival, sacred
and blissful, frightened and cheered by
the thought that they have made Christ
mas better for others.
For two years the municipal Christ
mas tree, introduced into the United
States from Europe, has stood with tho
custom of singing carols in the street,
which revives an old.time Yule Joy,
for newer, brighter and bigger Christ.

Through these agencies the Christmas
holiday season is taking on new tone
1t is becoming more of a public func-
ton, participated in by the organized
public, and less the chimney cGner
celebration of the family. Not that
the home Christmas is being done away
with, but that the celebration which
reaches "the lonesome poor and rich, y
that ls participated in by the church,
charity organizations and the munieip.

Official Christmas Trees.
The biggest thing in this movement
is the municipal Christmas tree, which
serves as a rallying place for all who
have no Christmas trees Of their own
and who are yet touched by the holiday
spirit. II is truly "the people S Christ

lightweight champion is the combi-

man is hard to beat, and | think
Richie will hold the crown for years
to come.

"All the leading halls and audi
