HISTORICAL TREES.
Two Of the Oldest and Finest Apple
Trees in the Pacific Northwest.


Puyallup Commerce: The Washington
State Historical societyis doing very Yalua-
BILE work, and has much more to do.
Among other things demanding its atten-
ton should be the removal to one of the
public parks in Tacoma Of those two old
historic apple trees now growing at Fort
Nisqually.
These trees are the finest apple trees
planted In the northwest. at least north of
the Columbia.
The seed from which they sprang was
brought from England in a Hudson Bay
ship to. o.Vancouver on the Columbia. On
November l, 1884, it was planted in a hot
bed by Archie Mcdonald, nicknamed
Sleepy Mcdonald. and the following spring
the tWigs were transplanted to the ground
where they now stand at old Fort Mes
qually. Mcdonald was one of the chief
clerks Of the Hudson Bay company, and
was sent from Vancouver by the good Dr..
Mclaughlin to found Fort Nesqually.
In England in 1888 the captain Of an
English ship was given grand dinner on
the eve of his departure for the wild wild
| erness of the northwest. In eating an
apple lady carefully saved its seeds, pre-
sented them to the captain and requested
him to have them planted in the new
world. These were the seeds planted at
old Fort Nisqually.
The two trees they produced stand about
a mile off the main road between Tacoma
and Olympia, the location of Nisqually
having been changed from its original site
to what is now the hospitable home Of the
Huggins boys, where Sequalichew creek
murmurs over the pebbles before it enters
its steep canyon above the ruins of the old
i. r.. Thompson sawmil. The trees bloom
beautifully every springtime and bear then
Seeding fruit, which relic hunters pluck
before it ripens.
These historic trees. should be carefully
transPlanted Ia t. 3 a public Park, where they
to come. The land on which they STAND
is now owned by Commodore Frank Ross
who would doubtless freely consent to re
moving such interesting relics to public
park.

The Band Stand.

OLYMPIA, Wash, April II, 1892.
EDITOR TTIBUNE:- Please permit me a
short space, in your considerate columns,
in behalf of right and due respect to our
home people, Ny impression has always
been that the people Of Olympia was and is
ever willing to extend that fatherly and
motherly Consideration to her people in
reach of her embrace; but it now looks as
though there was a corner on her gratitude,
if the band stand contract is any criterion.
Here a stranger pops up and asserts his
great magnitude through the press, Of
what granduer he has added to the archi-
tectural fraternity in some distant city.
of course l would not object to churches,
colleges and societies encircling their
strong arms around all the noble families
from the grandfather down; but when a
committee of our city council extends such
embraces think they should explain why
our old contractors who have at least suffi-
clent tact to erect a band stand, and who
have grappled for their homes and families
here for years, should be excluded from
receiving at least an opportunity to lift
their hats to our free hearted committee,

f. R. Brown is at the Northern hotel,
Seattle, having gone there to remain a few
days with his uncle Captain Joseph G..
Hover, whoj is lying III at Providence hos

Of Il, having been around the world several
on the steamer Daniel Barnes, of which he
was commander. The vessel left without
him last night for Philadelphia in charge

rugged constitution. It is feared that he
may not recover.

THE RAILS ARRIVE.
Preparations for Laying the Track for
the New Line,


Active work on the new electric railway
will be commenced tomorrow. The pre-
hminary work Of planting the poles, grad
ing and bridging is nearly all completed.
Further progress has been delayed owing
to the non arrival of rails which were sup
posed to have been side tracked on their
way from Pennsylvania during the heavy
blizzard. They are now in Tacoma, and
are expected here this evening.
The line will cover four miles, running
from the city limits on the east, down
Fourth street to Main, and south on Main
street to Tumwater, with a branch to the
Masonic cemetery. The laying of rails will
be commenced at Central street, running
down the center Of Fourth street. On
Main street they will be placed little to
the right of the center so as to be in posi-
tion for double track when needed, and
still give plenty OF room for wagons on
either side. The rails will be placed along
the entire distance of Fourth street within
two weeks. There are thirteen carloads.
