"The toothpick"  - 237 feet (72.2 meters)

Cut out of the Stillwater area on June 22, 1918.

It was four feet (1.2 m) at the butt and 14 inches (35 cm) at the top.>

It was sent to Kew Gardens, England, and erected in 1919 to replace a similar "toothpick" sent to Kew gardens in the mid 1800s from a Bloedel site. A third pole was sent in the 1970's.>

Logging crews were employees of Brooks, Scanlon & O'Brien Co.
