cAx y / > + ^ A Drain on the Forests. A The movement of Christmas trees. which for this season closed Monday —Cl-ni.s.jiias Day—annually numbers from 3 500,000 to 5,000,000 trees, collected chiefly in Maine and Vermont. These trees represent a value to the grower of from 1 cent to $2.50 each on the stump; i 4 cents to $575 each to the speculator and shipper; from 10 cents to $20 each to the wholesale dealers, and from 15 cents to $25 each to the retail grocer and small distributors. The trees are shipped down from the nearest railway stations in open cars, the cost of freight varying as to distance from $20 to $50 per carload. The average output in Maine is from 1.250,000 to 2,000,000 trees every year. This season, according to figures now at hand, the production exceeded 1.000 trees. Vermont produces upward of 1,000,000, and the balance for this market comes from the wooded sections of New Hampshire. Massachusetts, Cwm necticut, New York and Pennsylvania. New Jersey sends but a small portion of the supply. It is impossible that the forests of the country can stand such a strain on their resources for a very much longer time. 9- ^-a SPRUCE. "^~ That somewhat despised variety of tree from which is produced the spruce lumber of commerce is now having its innings of appreciation in the Maritime Provinces and abroad. It is a long time in the history of lumbering since spruce enjoyed the attention which is now a prominent feature in the timber markets of the world. A demand for nearly all grades of spruce I has sprung up from various centres, and the production this year will exceed many previous season's cut. Hemlock, another member of the coniferous family, which has probably been more neglected and suffered from a bad reputation to a greater degree than any other kind of lumber, is sharing the honors with its nearly related cousin, spruce, and between the two varieties, the demand promises to be great enough to warrant lumber operators in looking forward to the present winter's work as likely to be a profitable one. With improved methods of wood working have come increased appreciation of some of the natural beauties and qualities of these two woods when handled properly, and we presume the decreasing supply of other available lumber helps the demand for (he less popular varieties. 'r' vflNNEAPOLIS JOURN M.D.'SWILLPROTEST Against Cutting the Leech Lake Pine Near Walker. A HEALTH RESORT IS MENACED And the Doctors Want the Grove Preserved for Tubercular Patients. Those members of the medietl profession night most into tout act. Willi cases of pulmonary diseases, were emphatic in their expressions of regret that the bill providing for a state park it Lee. was not passed by the last legislature, but the explanation offered, that the bill had been sent-to the wrong committee by mistake and so overlooked, was accepted. Now there appears to be a sentiment that the oversight was possibly prenuHlitav that unsuspected oppositlor^ffas quietly at work to prevent the passage of such a bill. This view of the matter results from a recent discovery that the whole 1 timber, white and Norway pine, which makes the town of I ,• of the most picturesque spots In the United Sti to be cleared off this winter |>y a lumber concern which owns the ttmller, and the value of the locality"a-s a hcallh resort for invalids, particularly for tubercular ca»es, destroyed. Since the excursion of Minneapolis and St. Paul doctors to the Leecl lake region a year ago, it has been admitted by all physicians that the country about Walker was especially adapted to us« as a health resort, and the proposed legislation for a state park received the missed support of the profession. The doctors now assert that if the Walker shore is denuded of its timber, nothing will remain but a waste of arid, sandy hills covered with stumps, ami that the naturally picturesque beauties of the place will be forever gone. Also the cuttnig of the pine will remove the shelter I IIIIR«V r-^i...— INDORSED THE PARK Strong Resolution). Adopted by Citizens of Walker in Mass Meeting.

The members of the profession in Min- ■id St. Paul are now taking a keen interest in having this tract of timber preserved and representations are to be made to T. B. Walker, who Is the owner of the timber, that will possibly induce him to forego his Intention of cutting the pine. As the matter stands now, however, all arrangements have been made for work in the woods immediately surrounding Walker, and prompt action will be necessary to prevent their destruction. ■ The doctors interested are J. W Bell, R. O. Heard, J. T. Moore, J. W. McDonald, S\ A. Hunsmoor, Leo M. Crafjta, George Eitel ami H. M. Bracken of Minneapolis, and A. W. Dunning and ('. L. Green of St. Paul. Thete gentlemen have had a meeting for discussion of the situation and have I that the matter should be presented , to Mr. Walker in its public aspect, with a } to securi ig such delay in his lumbering operations as may be necessary to devise means for'the purchase of the hind.

It is hoped eventually to establish either at er or in the vicinity, a sanitorium capable of accommodating several hundred patients, and even as the accommodations are at present, large numbers of patients have been sent there this year from Minneapolis and St. Paul. The people of Walker are deeply interested in the situation and a petition is now culation which will be signed by the majority of residents asking Mr. Walker to defer cutting the timber until means can be devised for buying his rights. A plan is on foot among the inhabitants to raise the money by popular subscription. The county commissioners have also petitioned Mr. Walker to postpone cutting for this season. The doctors will have another meeting in a few days to discuss ways and means. It is understood that the timber around Walker is so scattering and of such small size by comparison with the growth usually cut, that it will cost all the pine is worth to get it out. In any event, Mr. Walker will be asked to put a price upon his hold- : ings in the vicinity of Walker and a strong ' effort will be made to preserve the pine I growths of that shore as they now stand.

This is one of two notebooks assembled by the Appalachian National Park Association that includes documents and news clipping about the organization. The Appalachian National Park Association was formed in 1899 for the purpose of promoting the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S. Although housed in Asheville, North Carolina, the organization was a multi-state effort, attracting representatives from seven southern states. One of the highlights of the group’s activities was a convention held in 1902 to which 1,500 people attended. The association lobbied Congress for the creation of a park, but with limited success. The association disbanded in 1905.
