MONARCH OF
OKLAHOMA
TREES
Giant Cottonwood in the Big
Timber Out West.
ITS AGF, IS ESTIMATED
To be One Hundred and Fifty
YearS---ItS Present Size.

Guthrie. Q. T.. Dec. 17.-In the Aline
.Aronoscope an account Of the monarch
Of Oklahoma trees IS given as follows
In Big Timber there stands unrivailed
the largest cottonwood tree known-not
a beautiful nor majestic piece Of timber,
but one that impresses with venerable
ness. Each year he sends forth new
branches. increases his family and ADDS
height and thickness 10 his gigantic size
His age Is a question OF mystery Ed
itor Renfrew OF Alva says that the tree
must have stood there for the coming Of
Christ while his townsman. Jesse Dunn.
says that Columbus couldn't have found
it had he come 10 Oklahoma when he
first landed. If great men disagree. who
snail agree? Inc trees age gives room
for speculation that will some day be
settled: but still 1t grows.
The girth Of this monarch Of cotton
woods is 2Sla feet. making its diameter
feet. Numerous fires that have swept
these wilds have not slighted this tree
with their fierce blasts. and strong winds
have many times shorn him OF his crest
ed branches. but still the grand old tree
stands and lives-a model Of organic en-
durance.
At Topeka a cottonwood that is known
to be 50 years old is feet in diameter,
and has been protected from fire and
topped 10 avoid the effects OF a storm.
Not considering the difference in cultiva-
ton. wherein the Topeka tree has the
advantage. the tree in Big Timber must
be at least $50 years old.
No doubt the springs at this place were
many years ago an oasis in the Great
American desert and in the war with
Mexico became the camping spot Of
General Kearney when he crossed the
desert. Such spots were few and timber
was an indication of the proximity %
water and game. This region lies direct
" in the route Of the army under Kear-
ney from Fort Leavenworth to the border
of mexico.
An Old Indian scout residing in this
county features the tree in recounting
deeds of marauding Indians IN early
times: how hunters were robbed and
hung in awful torture from spreading
branches to please the dancing savages
assembled. ne tree was a landmark 70
the Indians. and could he talk. a tale he
could tell. Whistlng winds through its
branches, and an occasional shower Of
autumn leaves are the only sounds that
affect q spectator. and these give weird
effect like the signs OF many a captive
who has been lashed 70 the tree. or the
rustic Of beads. feathers and shings OF
the Indian dancer"
