LARGEST HEMLOCK FOUND.
Is In Rainier National Forest and 250 Feet High.
The largest hemlock tree in the world so far as is known stands on the bank of McCoy creek, in Lewis county, Wash., and as it is included in the Rainier national forest it may add centuries to the several hundred years which it has been growing.
The tree, which measures twenty-three feet in circumference and seven and one-third feet in diameter, has a clean stem to the first branch 100 feet from the base and is perfect in every way. The king of hemlocks stands among others of its species, four, five and six feet in diameter, and lifts its crown 250 feet into the air.
