AND THE I‘IILE WOULD FURXISII RAILS TU FENCE A FARM. â€"â€" “"3 senile 1”.”‘9'5 5335 i’L'DdOUbt' l kitchen 13 x 2'} feet and a woodshed. There edly the largest. stump in the State of Washington is the one located just be- lav Saohomish City, on the farm of W. S. Clay. It. is a huge cedar, and the diameter is twenty fcctâ€"-a surface snt’d- cient for forty men to stand upon. The tree was burned down some sixteen years ago, and its wood was used for fence rails, shingles, etc. There was enough material in the tree to furnish rails for the fencing of a large Texas farm. The wood is red cedar and is similar to the timber from which lead pencils are made, and would also be cherished by any builder for the special wood fin- i«h and decoration of a house. The firm upon which the stump is was t tken up as a homestead by Royal Has- kell _ in the year 1873. Mr. Haskell coatruuud to improve the farm for a peritd of ten years. It was by his hands and his sons’ that the giant tree was prostrated by the agency of the llames, and its bulkâ€"to other trees as the elephant to the horseâ€"formed an article of plentiful distribution and Ullilly. A log ten feet in diameter is the law- t-st that can be sawed by any mill no: on Puget Sound, and even then there has to be two saws, one above the other, and each with an immense sweep. Al- lowing two feet in every twenty for the tapering of the tree, there would need to be live twenty-foot logs cut off a tree the diameter of which is twenty feet at: bottom, before it could be sawed by any of our mills. The red woods of Cali- lornta have to be quartered by blastinrr before they can enter the mills. Th?) same plan has to be followed in Wash- ington, where the tree is of exceptional size. Two ycars ago the stuan was photo- graphed, when fivc horses, standing a- breast, three feet apart, and thirty men were upon it. Such a photo is now in possession of the writer and others in Snohomish. A circle, whose diameter is 20 feet, must be 63 feet in circumfer-' once, and contains an area of 314 square feet. The tree belonging to the big stump was 80 feet in height, and its volume was, therefore. 6,374 cubic feet. This was a giant! Poetry has landed the majestic oak, but its size is often eclipsed by Washington’s cedars. The people in this State are aware of the high estimation of our shinules in Eastern markets. They are misun- factured entirely from the cedar tree, which is usually larger than the ordi- nary Iir. It is no exaggeration to say that a tree like the giant above mention- ed would last a shingle mill of considerâ€" able. capacity through three months' sawing. No crosscut saw yet manufac- tured is large enough to make a cut through such a tree at the butt' and if there were, it would take two, mod two days to saw a tree of that size down. ~â€" â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" â€".-o-r-..
