There are 'millions . of sequoia trees In th park ranrlnjr from tiny baby shoots a year old to the irreat tres which must have been prowinir durlmr the days of Pharaoh.

The wood U coarse grained, light and oft but especially durable when in contact with the ground. The bark Is sometimes two feet thick and fluted. The heartwood 13 of a deep red and turns much darker upon exposure, while the sap wood Is white and thin. These trees crow only on the western slopes of" the Sierra Nevadas, where the soil is warmed In summer by the mild Pacific winds heated In their pasnpre across the lowlands, and blanketed In winter by many feet of snow. Countless springs and streams sheltered by foliage keep the earth moist. As If to please man and make his visit to them easy and safe they jrrow In proves of which ther are about a deren, each one containing many bier tres. They produce little resin and do not burn easily. noth parks are of eajy access. There is a s: 'M lor hotel In the Giant Forest, ...re the larger trees are located and several tent camps are maintained for those who are willing to enjoy the life in npn and for those who wish to n1ov the rfrl beauty of

Namrd In Honor Of Statesmen The trees and proves are named In honor of statesmen, especially the trees of the Olant forest, for here one finds that kin? of trees, the General Sherman, which Is said to be the oldest and largest tree In the world In fact, the largest living: thlnff. It is computed to bo about four thousand years old. When the celebrated lover of treesJnhn Muir was In the park he counted four thousand rlnrs In the trunk of a fallen Riant, and as the General Sherman tree is much larger it is safe to say that It m!ht have been a contemporary. This wonderful specimen of tree life rLses to the height of 176 fet and is nearly thirty-seven feet In diameter. The General Sherman tree was discovered lonp before the creation of the land as a National Park by James Wolverton, a hunter and trapper, who named It General Sherman and the name was never changed. In the same rrove stands the Abraham I.ncoIn tree, two hundred and seventy feet In height and thirty-one frt'-t in dlim?r. while William Mc

Kinley close by is two hundred and ninety feet high and has a diameter of twenty-eijrht feet. In Murr prove stands the Dalton. twenty-seven feet in dlmter and two hundred and ninety-two feet in helpht. Garneld Grove boasts of the frreat "California." a grlar.t Sequoia that lifts its bead two hundred and sixty feet In the air and
