THE OLDEST LIVING THING.
Said to Be Huge Cypress Tree $3.50
Years Old

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
1.-The statement recently made that there
are yews in England which are the oldest
living things on EARTH" Mr.. Thomas C.
Ireland said, lis not correct
These yews are old. very. very old: there
is no doubt about that; some of them were
stalwart trees even before Caesar landed
on these shores. There is one now stand
ing in the churchyard at Portugal, in
Perthshire which Decandole. nearly a CEN
fury ago, proved to the satisfaction OF
botanists to be over twenty-five centuries
old. and another at Hedsor. In Buclas
which is 3,240 years old. How DecandoIe
arrived at an apparently correct estimate
or the enormous age of these living trees
is simple thing. and the principle is
doubtless known today to all. The yew.
like most trees, adds one line, about the
tenth of an inch, to its circumference each
year. He proved this after an investiga-
ton extending over several years, and We
know now, a hundred years later. that his
deductions were correct. The old yew at
Hedsor has trunk twenty,seven feet in
diameter, proving its great age. and II is
in fiourishing, healthy condition now, like
its brother at Portugal.
Their years are few though, compared
with those of the trees l had in mind when
l made my first assertion that the state
ment printed about them in a scientific
journal was incorrect. In one chapter OF
boabab tree in central Africa as the old
est organic monument in the world This
tree has trunk twentyLksne feet In dame
ter. and Adanson. by a Nseries of careful
measurements. demonstrated conclusiveiy
that it had lived for not less than s. $50
years.
Still 1t is not the oldest organic monu-
ment in the world. as Humboldt declared,
for now Mexican scientists have proved
that huge cypress tree, standing in Chep-
ultepec. with trunk lis feet and ten
inches in circumference. is older than it
Older, too. by more than a thousand years
for it had been shown, as conclusively as
these things can be shown, that its age is
about 6,2G0 years. To become impressed
with wonder over this one has only to
dwell on that duration for a little while
In thought.
yet 1t is not so remarkable when one
stops for moment to remember that,
given favorable conditions for its growth
and suStenance, the average tree will never
die of old age-its death is merely
cident. Other younger and more vigorous
trees may spring up near ii, and perhaps
rob its roots of their proper. nourishment;
insects may kill 1t, floods or winds may
sweep it away, or its roots may come IN
contact with rock and become so gnarled
and twisted, because they have not room to
expand in their growth, that they literally
throttle the avenues of it's sustenance; but
these are accidents. If such things do not
happen a tree may live on for century after
century, still robust, still fourishing. shell

their knowledge of the art of war. They
very reasonably avoid the bayonet. Their
leading ranks run away to the right and

succeeding lines. Running round these to
the rear, they again form their ranks, thus
taking the place of reserves.

RIDER CHAMPIONSHIP BELT
FOR THE COUNTY FAIR.
Festival of Mountain and Plain Asso-
citation at Denver Being Communi-
Gated With, and There Is Proba-
bi!ity That Famous Trophy Will
Be Brought to Albany County.

The trustees of the Albany County
and Inter-Nlountain Fair association
are negotiating with the Festival of
Mountain ald Plain association of Den
yer for the championship rough rider
belt won first by Thad Sowder and
later by Guy Holt at the last Frontier
day at Cheyenne, and if the belt can
be secured. which now seems probable,
it w. be offered for contest at the
coming county fair in September.
The belt was first presented by the
Festival of Mountain and Plain asso-
citation to Thad Sowder, who was the
undisputed champion rough rider of
the world. Later it was offered again
and Mr.. Sowder not competing for it,
the trophy should have gone, his
friends claim, to Mr.. Guy Holt, who
complied with the rules as proposed at
the Frontier day at Cheyenne a year
ago. There was some doubt about the
right of the Fontier association to Of
fer the belt, and Mr.. Holt was never
placed in possession of it. Many be-
lieve that Mr.. Sowder did not come by
it in just the proper way, some con-
tending that in his last exhibition he
pulled leather" like a tenderfoot and
would have been unseated but for his
dizziness in anchoring to the horn of
his saddle. The claim was made in
the Beaver papers, in fact, that but for
the influence of Buffalo Bill, to whose
show Sowder belonged, the judges
would not have awarded it to the one.
time worlds champion rough rider.
If the trustees of the fair ~associa-
ton succeed in getting possession of
the belt. it will be contested for here
and will bring some of the best riders
in the state to Laramie and cause the
contest to be of the most noted in
the history of rough riding here. Many
believe that some of our own rough
riders have as good claim to perfec-
ton as either Mr.. Holt or Mr.. Sowder,
and that Clayton banks, Frank Stone
and a half dozen others can give the
odds required and win the belt if it is
entered in the list of prizes. 1t is
worth trying for, any way, and the
trustees will C it if they can.

Superintendent Park of the Wyo-
en- route home from Weber canon,
where he had been to look after the
%washouts caused by high water in
Weber river. He say there is still
much water going down that turbulent
mountain stream, but he believes there
is no longer likelihood of damage to
the tracks of the Union Pacific.
Asked about the repurted elimina-
ton of trains Nos. 5 and 1902 under the
new time card, he said he felt sure a
new card would be issued next Sun
day, and while he was not absolutely
certain of it, he believed the two trains
would be taken of. The figures for
the card were not in such shape as
to permit of defi1tte assertions, but he
believed there was no reason to think
otherwise. What changes would occur
in the time of arrival of trains at Lar
annie he could not say.
Mr.. Park had been in Weber canon
for several days, and was tired from
the arduous duties of his position, hut
he felt glad to say that everything was
moving slowly, and that he had rea-
sonable prospect of at least one night
at home, with his feet before his own
fire and with his own family as COM
pany.

with him from the west, stopped here
only long enough to loak over the &C.
