ins; as many eanlpathes, will push into

three or more survey parties in the
north.

be sending two outfits into the areas

Some Great Flagstaffs.
In the year 1861 British. Columbia
presented Kew Gardens with the tow-
ering flagstaff which many of us have
seen and which was 159 feet -high,
says a London magazine.
This after a life of more bran fifty
years, is no more, and the Dominion
has repaced it with another, which is
even larger. It is 214 fest long, and
is actually' higher than the 1Vlonu.inent
in London by a matter of 10 feet.
It is nearly three feet through at the
base and 12 inches at.ths top, and is
a single stick of the splendid Douglas
fir which grows in Vancouver island.
Huge as it is, this staff is not the
biggest in existence. At the Panama -
Pacific Exhibition, held in San Fran-
cisco in 1914 to celebrate the openietr
of the Panama Canal, a flag flouted ai
the top of a pole which. was no. less
than 246 feat long—half as high again
as the Nelson column—aud 66 inches
in diameter at the base. It weighed
over 40 tont, and was c4t in the Neha-
lem Valley of Oregon. It was also a
fir, not one of the giant Sequoias of
California,
It was impossible to transport it by
land, so it was towed 'leans Astoria,
Oregon, to. San Francisco.
From Australia it would be possible
to procure an even longer spar. On
the west coast there grows a species
og gum tree which reaches 400 feet or
about the same height pe the spire of
Salisbury Cathedral.
These trees are taller even than the.
giant red woods of California, though
net of anything like their circtirofev- e
once. The record redwood is on the
Kink River near Visalia. It is 352
feet in height and its circumference
at the ground just 100 feet, '
