RATHER CUMBERSOME EXHIBIT.
Huge Tree VIII Get to Seattle ExpOsi
ton Ii 1t Is Possible.

The largest fir tree in the state of
Washington will be brought to the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition, if it
can be got there.
At present the forest giant is lying
on the bank of the Humptulips river
in Chehalis county. 1t is easy enough
to slide it into the deep waters of the
creek with the Siwash name and easy
again to float it down to tide water at
Grays harbor, but there its troubles
begin.
The tree is 225 feet long and four
teen feet in diameter at the butt. 1t is
too long to be handled on railroad
flat car and too big at the base tC
clear the tunnels along the route. Also
there is no steamer plying between
Puget Sound and Grays Harbor large
enough to carry it.
Government contractors who are
working on the jetty at the harbol
have offered to transport 125 foot
section of it to Seattle on one of theil
huge barges and it is likely that, iT
the end, this will prove the solution
of the difficulty, although considerable
danger will threaten such an under
taking by reason of the long winter
town on the Pacific between the two
harbors.
The tree will be made one of the fea
lures of the huge forestry exhibit
which the exposition will show.

FRUIT TREES FOR SHADE.
Several Varieties Of Quick Growers
Which VIII Answer.

Are there not some fruit trees that
could be set out for shade in a small
village lot, instead of giving the space
to poplars and maples?" asked q lady
friend OF the writer recently, and the
reply was that there certainly are var
ieties well adapted for ornamental as
we'll as unitarian purposes, and sew
eral of these were mentioned to the in
quirer, among others, the following:
Transcendent crab, which grows al
most as rapidly as soft maple, with
bright green dense foliage, blooms at
very early age, perfect snow bank
of flowers and fragrance, which are
later succeeded by crop of golden,
rosy-checked apples not excelled by
any other fruit for fresh sauce, jelly
and preserves. The Florence crab, of
all varieties, has the loveliest, large
white blossoms, often semidOuble, with
most delicious odor, but this tree is
not so vigorous in all situations as the
Transcendent.
The Early Richmond cherry is rath-
er difficult to start, but after year
or two develops rapidly and soon
gives ample shade and is an ex-
quisitely beautiful object, both In
bloom and fruit.
Two of the Japan plums, originated
in California by Luther Burbank, are
good and early bearers and rapidly at
tain very considerable height and
spread These are the Abundance and
the Wickson, which have the further
desirable qualities of retaining their
| full green foliage until after severe
frost, when for short time they are
| pOrpeOuS in deem crimson They are
abundant bearers of delicious and at
tractive fruit.
At least one other tree must be in
cluded in this list, and that is the
Keiffer pear. No other variety can be
compared with it for varied beauty
In early spring it's long aspiring
branches are wreathed in snowy bios.
SONS almost as large and quite as love
ly as single roses, which open early
and last long and are sweet instead
exhaling the rather rank Odor of mos
pears
All through the summer it is orna
mental as lawn tree on account O.
it's firm, glossy, bright green foliage
among which, in September and DC
tober, CLEAN it's large golden, rosy
checked fruits, which ripen in SLOW
succession for about two months, thu
latest of which, if carefully handled
may be added to the Christmas dessert
and, as eliminating charm, thu
leaves, before falling. assume a sof
red orange color, quite distinct from
all other pears, which early turn dull
brown and drop their leaves makin'
it conspicuous and admirable objec
in any landscape.-Farm Progress.
