ORATORY AND CHEERS
The Famous Excursion Closes Most
Satisfactorily 10 All the Visit
ing Party.

The Commercial Club excursion
on its return from Galice on Tuesday
OF last week reached Merlin at 5
O'Clock in the evening and at once
the party were invited to see the old
apple tree. We could not help won
dering at the time why this kind of
a tree is so often connected with
historic events. General Robert Il.
Lee met General u. s. Grant under
the famous Appomattox apple tree
and world power was created under
its spreading branches. Then there's
the old song about hanging Jeff
Davis on a sour apple tree, and still
another song, Under the Old Apple
Tree" and so on along the line of his
tory this tree comes in for recogni-
tlon. So In Merlin Is another apple
tree connected with the history Of
the locality; for standing in the
shade OF its spreading branches we
listened to its history as told by
Chas. b. Short as follows:
1T was only few years ago that
we realized that we had such a mag
nificient monument to the fertility
OF our soil standing in our midst.
A gentleman from Hood River first
called our attention to the fact that
1t was probably the largest apple
tree in the state, and regretted that
it did not occupy such a prominent
position In his town, where 1t would
undoubtedly be used as an advertise
ment A short time afterward its
picture appeared in two of Portlands
daily papers-the Journal and Tele-
gram and then we began to look
into its history. Among the old
timers there was considerable vari-
ance as to when il was set out.
Finally 1t was suggested that prob
ably Mrs. Caroline Sexton, who was
here even before the beginning of the
early days" could furnish the de-
sired information made a special
trip to the foot Of Sexton mountain.

tale of the early days-of the Rogue

Then | asked her about this tree.

Why, Mr. Short, It seems but
yesterday Mr.. lIalnes settled there
IN the creek In 1852, and the follow

Ute valley. My husband bought
