TREE IN MEMORY OF
 LINCOLN MAY GO
 INTO HALL OF FAME

WASHINGTON, Sept, O. The only tree known to have been planted in memory of Abraham L.ncoln right after his assassination has been nom mated for place in the Hall of Fame for "trees with a history" which the American Forestry Association is compiling. A. s. Bailey of Decorah, Iowa. where the tree now stands, in formed the association that the tree was planted by one John Finn, who is still living.
 When Abraham Lincoln was aSsas- sinated Mir. Finn was in Chicago and he returned home much depressed. A few days later, on April 27, 1865 Gov ernor Stone of Iowa declared a day of mourning for Lincoln. Finn went into the woods and dug up small hack berry shoot which he transplanted on the street in front of his home. The shoot took root and today is one of the most magnificent trees in Iowa. 1t is no feet high and nearly 12 feet In circumference to which facts the Am erican Forestry Association points as a great lesson in what can be done in tree planting. ,.

 While the rain had been favorable for mining, the storms had interfered with the Siberian and trading busi- ness. The people were hopeful, how ever, August 1, that there would be considerable business developed in August and September. The bad weather and the drop in the fur market had practically destroyed the years fur business. In the early spring, everybody apparently, was going in the fur traffic. Those who did not have boats were trying to buy them, and none were to be had at any price, The low market and bad weather has transformed this. Now, apparently, everybody wants. to sell boat or two and there is no market at any price for them.
