Fall of stately cottonwood evokes woman's sadness
A 50 year old cottonwood on a county road west of Timber-r-r-r was cut to clear space for a Wheatbelt Public Power District distribution line to South Table irrigation wells. Wardike Niblock, granddaughter of the original planters, laments the loss as a pioneer tree dies for power. The utility says the detour avoids a grove and saves many trees elsewhere, though the cut spares few trees.
