historic OAK FOR CARS.

story.
From generation to generation this
famous old estate, as it passed from

maintained in style approaching regal
sDlendor buckingham park was
known far and wide as a place where
hospitality reigned. Its gardens ana
especially it's forests, of grand old trees,
were deemed to be Incompatible IN
their beauty. Not a tree was ever per-
mitted to be touched by the AK.
But there came a time, few years
ago when the immediate necessity for
raising a large sum of money led to the
sacrifice of a number of the immense
oaks. Twenty-seven of the largest trees
we're cut down and sold to the Pullman
company for use in car building.
The particular oak which furnished
material for the Burlington dining cars
was nearly S feet in diameter. In cut
ting up this mammoth log there was
found a gatehoOz within ten inches of
the center, apparently driven there 700
or 500 years ago. In the same tree was

used in the first match-locks- From its
position in the tree, it must have been
there since about the time OF CromWell-

of council at large. His two run
ming mates for the same Office have
not yet been decided upon, but prob
ably will be in a few days. Coun-
Gilman Aungst is entitled to a sec
ond nomination for this position and
may decide to run again.
The race for the Republican NOM
ination for city treasurer promises to
be pretty one. Tom Bidwell, pres
ent incumbent, would like to have a
third term, while it is an open sec
ret that Sam Hall, present chairman
of the finance committee of council,
Harry Keyes and George Brissell will
be candidates.
Very little is heard, thus far, con-
cerning Democratic candidates for next
falls contest, but there is little doubt
that Mayor Turnbull, who has made
an excellent official, will receive a
unanimous nomination, while Joseph
Munter, Jr, is worthy of and entit-
led to a second term as member of
the board of public service. AS his
running mates the News has heard
the names of Fred Witter and Harry
Weiss prominently mentioned AS
to the candidates for other offices no
names have yet been announced.
With such an array of candidates
as mentioned above there is no rea-
son why the campaign, which will
open early, should not be both lively
and interesting.
