Christmas Tree vandaIisms Illegal

Christmas Tree Vandalisms Illegal
That the practice of stealing Christ
mas trees along roadside, or wherever
they may be found, is not only NOR
ally wrong, but direct violation of
the law both in Oregon and Wash
ington, is the substance of state
ment issued by the U. S. forest serv-
ice, Portland, Oregon.
Olsen's Oregon laws, sec. 346, pro-
vides treble damages for trespass for
cutting trees, stating that Whenever
any person shall cut down, girdle or
otherwise injure or carry off any tree,
timber or shrub on the land of an
other, without lawful authority, in an
action by such person, if judgment be
given for the plaintiff, it shall be
given for treble the amount of dam
ages"
The Washington law, sec. SO (5S13-
y provides that "any person who
shall go upon any lands owned by
the state, or by any person, firm or
corporation, without the consent of
the owner thereof, and cut down, cut
off, top or destroy any tree, shall be
punished by fine equivalent to one
dollar for every tree SO cut down,
topped or destroyed"
Foresters suggest that it is not in
keeping with the Christmas spirit of
peace on earth, good will to men"
to secure the central symbol of the
holiday, a Christmas tree, by an act
of immoral, illegal vandalism.

Large orders for marine auxiliary

cry was contracted for by Eastern
buyers as well as interests on the Pa

steering gear equipment for six large
Diesel-electric ferryboats now under
construction for the Southern Pacific

received. Another big order was that
for an electric steering gear, an cleo
trio anchor windlass and an electric
warping winch for an oil tanker now
under construction at the Sun Ship
building Company in Chester, Pa, for

The six new San Francisco ferry
boats will be double-enders and will
require twelve steering gear systems
which will be electric driven and of a
