Capital to Lose Familiar Land Marks
As Famous Old Morse Elm Prepares
To Yield to SideWalks of Progress

Near Porter street and Wisconsin
avenue northwest stands an old elm,
one Of the Oldest in the District.
around which the wheels Of prog
ress are whirling-dsngerou near.
For 100 years this tree has stood
upon a spot which must in the near
future undergo the physical change
which has wrought havoc with so
many other landmarks and give
way to a mere cement sidewalk.
Only a short time ago some en-
thusiastic surveyor decided that a
sidewalk on the east side Of Wis
consin avenue would be q desirable
adjunct to the landscape. There is
no question about the desirsbility
Of sidewalk there, for the clay
from a steep bank in that particu-
lar neishborhoOd has made the
lives Of pedestrians a sticky and
slippery mess. Still further proof
OF the surveyors good intentions
lies in the fact that upon discover
ing the elm in the very center Of
his proposed sidewalk he thought
fully diyerged his line OF advance
ment and had a nice pair Of steps
built around the old forest king.
And so 1t stands today.
But the demands OF mere man
cannot be quelled. While the
thoughtfuI step. are quite nice TO
look upon-and TO clmb-they are
not permanent. The life OF the elm
is doomed.

Two street cars suddenly swoop-

the corner of his street he sent

In less than three days a marked
