The timber forests mighty great,
The fuirest women too you see,
We have them all in this great state
With plenty of game, fishing fine,
The hunter he has lots of fun,
The angler too can use his line,
In this old state of Oregon.
So portly, straight and large around,
These grand old trees they grow SO
tall,
1t takes week to chop one down,
And makes you sigh to see it fall,
OF waters pure and clear we boast,
In its mad rush is leaping on,
The grandest scenes along the coast,
Are in this old state of Oregon.
The mountains rise in peaks so high,
From the great valleys far below,
They look like spires that reach the sky,
Whose tops are white with frost and
snow;
Our lands are fine, our crops are great,
A better place we know there's none,
In this wide world like our old state,
Which we with pride call Oregon.
These fertile valley plains aud hills,
Adorned with beauty rich and rare,
The grand old babbling brooks and rills,
God made them all with wondrOus
care;
Old Hood and Jeff and Sisters Three,
From Maine to Gulf and Washington,
No other place such sights YOU see,
Like here in this old Oregon

Solver lake Leader: With all the
heavy SHOWS Of last winter, Silver Lake
begins to look like it will not fill up.
At this time the water edge is about
where it was one year ago, with most
Of the watershed which supplies the
water dry and dusty. The riparian
owners along the border have this
spring seeded about GOO acres to grain.
Former years have proven that the
receded lands Of Silver Lake are very
productive For instance: Last year
one farmer had is acres Of beach land
seeded to oats The oats grew so rank
that they could not be bound with q
self-binder, and so the idea was con.
ceived to cut high enough with the
binder to catch the hay and NOW the

seven tons of oat straw heads and 1S
tons of hay from the second cutting.

MUNICIPAL BATHING
BEACH IS ASSURED
FOR COMING SUMMER

Salem will soon have municipal
bathing beach. This is assured by the
committee working for the Civic De,
partment of the commercial club, com
posed of DR.. W. II. Byrd, chairman;
Fred f. Mangis, Ivan G.. Mcdaniel, L.
II. Mcmahon and II. o. White.
After investigating the site of the
bathing beach of one year ago and
making soundings up and down the
river, the committee has come to the
conclusion that two sights are avail
able. One is between the wagon and
railroad bridge, on the Polk county
side, and the other is on North Mill
creek, at Commercial street.
The Mill creek location could only
be used by daming the creek just
north of Commercial street and the
city engineer will investigate this
afternoon. But tho impression of the
committee is that the site Just across
the riyer not far from the wagon
bridge is the most available. The
beach used one year age on Mimic
island cannot be used as the Salem
Sand &tGravel company have been TAX
ing sand from this point, resulting in
several, deep holes and making it dan
gerOus for bathers.
AS the river is too high at present,
it will be probably two weeks before
arrangements can be made, and steps
from the bridge built leading down
to the beach.
Anyhow, q municipal bathing beach
is assured. There will be no charges
if the point between the two bridges
is selected unless the committee finds
it advisable to assess all bathers, ex-
cepting children, five cents each to
defray the expenses Of having a man
in cnarGe.

And cherries in the trees so high,

Its valleys too are fair to see;
The crops produce for peoples use,
All kinds of grain it yields 80 great,
What mortal man could hope or plan
For letter than Nebraska state.

We find them here, in this grand

We think none fairer ever grew.
