Nincty-five years OF continuous
residence in Washington.
There are pioneers a-plenty in
the state--but none Of them can
boast OF such record as that.
But there's tree on the old Fort
Vancouver reservation that can.
For s5 years II has weathered the
vagaries of Columbia basin weather.
II has watched the transition of Its
|.environment from a primevai will
derness TO one of the most highly
developed centers OF civilization In
the country. All this time II has
stood stoicaily. uttering neither
comment nor complaint. and devot.
ing itself strictly to the serious bus.
mess of turning out some 20 bushels
OF apples a year.
But what "a story II could tell II
only II could speak!
II came into being at time when
Washington was a part Of the old
Oregon territory and IL stood on
soil which was a point of conten-
ton between Great Britain and the
I
United States.
1t saw Indians battling with the
first hardy pioneers who settled on
these shores.
Beneath its hbspitable boughs II
has given shelter from wind and
rain TO such men as Gen. Ulysses s.
Grant. Gen. Phil Sheridan and Gen.
George T.. Pickett. who. as callow
lieutenants. were stationed at Fort
Vancouver and often picked fruit
from the old tree, which even then
was In prime maturity.
Later II showercd its bounty upon
Mrs. Marcus Whitman, wife Of the
first white man to come to the state
overland-she mentions the tree spc.
officially In her memoirs.
But II Is useless TO go any further.
The history of that tree Is the his.
tory OF the state-and more.
For- there's a touch OF sentimcn.
tai romance to It. Think of the
love affairs that the tree has
watched! Four generations OF loy.
