FAMOUS WALNUT TREE
TO BE CUT DOWN
Brooklyn Landmark Sold to Furni-
ture Manufacturer
NEARLY 5 FEET IN DIAMETER.
Hotel Near by Built Dancing Floor
Around it and Band Played in
Branches.

The famous walnut tree at First
street ard Patapsco avenue. Brooklyn.
this county, the largest tree in the sec
ton and the landmark of the little VIII
lage, is being cut down.
For many years manufacturers have
offered sums of money for the tree and
it is understood that the purchaser is
a furniture manufactures. The tree is
on bluff overlooking the Patapsco
river. The trunk is nearly s feet i'm
diameter and more than % feet in
circumference.
Persons who have lived in the town
for tifty-fivo years say when they first
saw the tree it was the same size as
now ami that il must be at least two
hundred years old Because of its
great height and the danger of dam
aging the wood it was not thought ad-
visable TO cut the trunk down. so the
big branches are now being cur of
one at time.
IL may be that the roots of the tree
which are said to be even more val
liable than the upper part. will be dug
up. The scarcity of walnut wood is
becoming more pronounced and repre-
sentatives of furniture and manufac-
turing establishments are on the look
out for walnut trees of good size.
Moret han thirty years ago and over
of the hotel and grounds was offered
$50 for the tree, but refused to sell.
Near the tree is the famous Wal
nut HotclSpring known throughout the
state During the water famine in
Baltimore several years ago hundreds
of persons from the city went to the
spring to get water. Residents of
Brooklyn carried the water to Balti-
more and. sold it.
The old hotel. named after the tree
is of Statewide interest. This place
was the first resort to be started in

erected in 1871. It's career has been

are expected to bring forward class
of citizens of about the same type as
those who trained in the military camp
at Plattsburg. Particular appeal is
made to college men and university
graduates, as well as high-class mer-
chants and engineers.
Besides passing the physical test and
being between the ages of 10 and As
