TREE IX MEMORY OF
LINCOLN MAY GO
INTO HALL OF FAME
WASHINGTON, Sept., 9— The
only tree known to have been planted
in memory of Abraham Lincoln right
after his assassination has been nom
*
inated for a place in the Hall of Kamo
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.
the American Forestry Association.
Other nominations for the Hall of
Fame are:
The first algaroba tree in the Ha
waiian Islands by M. J. Riordan of |
Flagstaff, Ariz. This tree seed, was
taken to Honolulu by Father Bache
lot from California. There are now
thousands of them in the Islands.
The General Johnston Oak on the
Shiloh Battlefield by the Chamber of
Commerce of Corinth, Miss. Under
this tree General Alb it Sidney John
ston was killed while leading his
troops. The tree, now 300 years old, is
cared for by the National government.
The Washington Oak near Santee,
S. C.. nominated by J. Danforth Bush
of Wilmington, Del. The tree was
spared from the axe when George
Washington urged that it be not cut
\ *
down. The tree is on the estate of Col.
Henry Rutledge!

When Abraham Lincoln was assas
sinated Mr. Finn was in Chicago and
he returned home much depressed. A
few nays 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 a small hack
berry shoot which he transplanted on
the street in front of his home. The
shoot took coot and today is one of the
most magnificient trees in Iowa. It is
110 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.

Revolution, the Grand Army of the
Republic and historical societies of
the country are said to be reporting
many other trees with a history to

Letters from Nome dated the first

srmirer and tin jt v. s stemming
the e at that tim? The r uatry was
flood -c and n • vhere was there a
scare *«. of wn#-i for mini**.;.
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
year’s 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 w*ere to be had
at any price. The low market and
bad weather has transformed this.
Now, apparently, everybody wants
to sell a boat or two and there is no
market at any price for them.
