The first, in each trio was a plain pole, the second had been treated by a patent lotion and the third had been creosoted. In 1870 all the plain poles had been removed, 30 per cent of the specially treated poles were exhausted, while the whole of the creosoted poles were sound. The As leville Citizen WEDNESDAY. JUNE 18, 1902. DULUTH AND *m pARK PROJECT Tae 1'"'' th are becoming en lightened on ;,tbe nubject of a state park. a teen difficult to obtain a hearing in that city for the proposition to set aside a tract ol land on Leech lake, Cass lake and Lak« Winnibigashish for park purposes. Dultth has opposed this proposition on the theory that it would be detrimental to the business interests of that city to withdraw from settlement and regular use for business purposes so large ! a district. icn.il C. C. Andrews, chief fire warden, addressed a meeting of titizens of Duluth the. other day In ths Kiambar of I ■■■■.' under the auspicej of the Duluth Improvement Association, and at the conclusion of his remarks they adopted a res- oluiion recommending the establi of such a park as is proposed and pledging their support to the federation of women's clubs in their efforts to procure this park. Professor William F. Phelps of the state normal board spoke in support of the resolution, and altogether it seemed to be the loil that once the proposition was understood the people of Duluth would it. The reduced park area is so inconsiderable and thi land to be set aside to large an extent unfit for agricultural purposes that it doesn't that Duluth would suffer any on that account by reason of the establishment of the park, while the setting aside of these Indian lands as a pleasure and health resort, easily accessible from Puiuth, might be expected to attract to it and bring to that city on their way to the park large numbers of tourists who t ulci be in a business way of more adva., ago to Duluth than anything it could hope to re-ali?. from the use of these lands in the ordinary -way. s I Appalachian I National Park f The following letter ueelved by A.

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.
