STORM DESTROYS FAMOUS
sNOHOMISH CHERRY TREE

SNOHOMISH, Wash, April IS
A sweeping wind and rain storm,
which knocked trees and telephone
poles across many of the main tray-
eled roads here Monday night, has
brought sorrow to this city. The sad
ness is not from the slight damage
done. but from the loss of one of the
city's proudest Professionalism
was believed to be the largest cherry
tree in the world
The tree, measuring fourteen feet
in circumference at the base and
having a spread of eighty feet, did
not withstand the onslaughts OF the
storm. It broke at the base, toppled
over and hit the ground with a crash
that was audible half mile distant.
Residents of this city will miss the
sixty-year-old landmark, as it has
been one of the prides of the commu.
nifty, having been a scenic point OIL
interest here for the last quarter
century.

PARIs-Ameriean films were the
subject of what is considered a most
important conference today between
NJ Herriott, minister of public in
struction, and VIII Hays. the official
representative of the American mo-
ton picture business. The reopening
of negotiations was probably due to
the fact that the Americans had de
termined to close down their bust
ness in France if some satisfactory
arrangement was not reached with
the French government. Herriott
eventually decided to call a special
meeting of the cinema control com
mittee today to devise some means
of a settlement.
