Lycopodium Found Here.

A few days ago Mr.. W. V. Fuller
brought from the forest adjacent to
Dallas a large quantity of what is
commonly termed in Oregon Elk s
moss and ground pine, which has been
used in decorating a window of the
Fuller's Pharmacy. Former resi-
dents of the eastern northern woods
will recognize it as lycopodium, an
evergreen trailing vine which is used
extensively in the east for decorative
purposes, and doubtless they will be
pleased to know that it can be found
growing in Oregon s wonderful woods.
If the lovely trailing arbutus could
but be transplanted here, and it is
reasonable to believe that it could be
done, Oregon's adopted sons and
daughters cups of happiness would
be overfowing.
