Landmark to Be Preserved

The Mullan tree, landmark of the
old Mullan trail, the first highway
connecting Montana and Idaho with

ty through the creation of national
monument area by the president. On
July 4, 1861, Captain John Mullan,
leader of the party having in charge
the survey and construction of the
Mullan trail from Walla Walla, Wash,
to Fl. Benton, Mont, closed his work
at the connecting point of the roads
from the east and west, at the head
Of TIE Fourth Of July canyon, be-
tween Wallace, fdaH5. and Occur
d'Alene, Idaho. There he marked ap-
propriately a huge white pine tree,
Ehlcb since that time has been known
as the Mullan tree. Tourists seeking
souvenirs of their jaunt along the
Yellowstone trail have damaged the
ancient tree so much that forest serv-
ice officers have found II necessary
to take steps to protect 1t, and to ac-
complish this have submitted peti-
tion proposing that a national monu.
ment area be created, which has been
