To Inspect Canada's Forests United' States Commercial Agent Beu- telspaciier, stationed at Moncton, Canada, writes to the State Department as follows: " An inspector of timber has been created by the Dominion government. With the view of preserving the remaining forests upon Dominion lands and Indian reserves from utter destruction by fires and other destructive agencies, and of encouraging the reproduction of forest trees, and also, as settlement is rapidly progressing in all parts of Manitoba and the Northwest Territory, with the object of making an immediate inspection of the country, to ascertain what tracts should be set apart for timber reserves before they are encroached upon by settlers, the position of chief inspector of timber a'-.d forestry has been created THE APPALACHIAN NATIONAL PARK* TO ESTABLISH NATIONAL PARK Convention in Asheville Will Be i Very largely Attended. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 11.— Invitations have been sent to the commerce, organizations in the central southern states to send delegates to a convention to be held in Asheville, N.

As the nineteenth century closes, there looms up before the eyes of the eommar* cial world a new industry. For many years Oliver -L. Gardner of Brooklyn labored to provide a substitute for "LUMBER" for inside decorations for private houses, public buildings, railroad cars, steamboats and other places requiring the use of wood and other materials, and after a period of twelve years, and at an. expenditure' of hundreds of thousands of dollars, he perfected his ideas, so that now he presents to the world a finished product which can be purchased and sold at much less cost than any form of decoration now known. The base of this material is a waBte produet-STRAW-which, with certain ■chemical combinations, produces a material harder than lumber. This material can be nailed, screwed, sawed and operated with In the same manner as wood, and owing to its solidified structure, it is much more durable Prominent capitalists in this country have recently purchased control of this invention and organized a corporation known as the ARTIFICIAL LUMBER COMPANY OF AMERICA, and will erect in different parts of the United States, Canada and Mexico, factories for its manufacture. I — — al>- What Forest and Stjjeam Has to Say of the Proposed Forest Preserve. Fore'st audi Stream. A movement is, o* foot for the establishment of a national park in t-he southern mountains, the chief range of which is known as the Blue Ridge. This is- almost in the centre of what may be called the oljdxstates, North ana South Carolina., "West Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Qfeprgia, 'all unite In this range of mountains, which is the watershed of a larg*e number 'of large )-iv-; ers which flow into the Atlantic nndr the Gulf of Mexico, fend In which there are countless clear, cold streams/ •which are the homes of the sprecklcd^ trout 'and, other game fish which exist in abundance. This extensive iraet ( reaches from. Asheville on the east to middle Georgia and Alabama on the west, and to 'the low country on the south and north. It is a sea of mountains, wfr1ch viewed from the fop <{f the highest pea'c, appears liftefthe (Treat ocean with Its rolling- billows, a very sea of waves, and valleys,lying in confusion and all covered by the most valuable timber, 10 per cent only of The lamd 'being occupied by farms, and Only 10 per cent of thes» lands 'being cleared. In f the view, as it appears from the highest points, n.ftOO tin C.OOO feet above ! sea, level, is only marked here and there by a clearing, the rest of the landscape 'being one continuous niasn of forest. Mountains and hills in ranges cross each other and other leaser ranges cross these, making an ena lepg ocean of forest; divided men inter minable waves, until it is possible *0 distinguish the m ks nnlyagj they ap; e.f above the lower ran<^3j Of these greater peak" there are Black Bock, 4,500 feet: Wi Rid'ge, 4,200 foot: Whittier mountain, 4,931 fee't; Whiteside—so named from a gigantic perpendicular cliff of feldspar, 2,000 feet in height on its face—5,000 feeti ShOrtoff mountain, 5,000 feet. Yellow -mountain, 5,132 feet; Block mountain, 4.000: Hog Back. 5.100 fe>t and many others over 4,000 feet. In the mi-lsl of these the (own of Highlands nestles in a gap 4,100 feet above sea level, and from this clean,cha-nn'ng most 'dtelightful salubrious totva all these peaks may be reached b-wan ftasy horseback or buggy: ride. Front These heights One sees below the partitioned peaks an focean, of verda ser mountains, in ranges crossed and ossed many times, and down the valleys separating these ranges pour in rapids and cascades, w*ife with foam art* mltsio&l with lieuid purling and crashing, the uncountable small brooks which rush, down rapjds or .tumble over the rocky rjrSSlpices. The uncountable springs 'and small streams unite to form, a suceessl ri of rapids as they tumble dowrr- the heights which rise from the lowland* fifty miles below. The town mentioned is in the center of this great expanse of mountain and forest and verdure and flowers, and the county of which Highlands is the second important town has seventeen peaks that exceed'5,000 feet in height above sea level. The importance of this mountain region wirth its dense forests and enormous watersibed, surpassing all other localities'to the United States for its volume— for the annual if all of rain is some years a hundred inches, and occasionally has measured by gauge a hundred and thirty inches—camraot be overestimated. This enormous quantity of water soaks in in the land 'covered by the dense forests and thus gradually sumj»lies 'the rivers below, the waters of which <•-- tiliee the soil and supply the power for hundreds of mills in every rt"ri This wa lei-power in North C: 'iloni. amounts to over one million i> —-" - ii ■ n ,J^ What It Cost to Fight Adirondack Forest Fires (Correspondence of The Paper Mill.) Watertown, N. Y., Dec. 19.—A great deal of damage was done by forest tires in the Adirondack's last summer. There was as much trouble of (his kind in Lewis County as in any, the result being that nearly every town in the country had claims to present for the services of its citizens as fire fighters at the beginning of the fall session of the Lewis County Board of Supervisors. The claims were first presented to the respective1 town officials, but they referred them to the board of supervisors to determine the liability of the several towns. So the matter was referred to a special committee of .members to investigate and report. This committee has looked up all the authorities on the subject, and finds that all bills rendered for services in fighting fire are a legal' charge against, and must be paid by, the town in the first instance, and if made in duplicate, as required by law, the State will refund to the town one-half of the total amount paid. Lewis County is included in the forest preserve, and has State lands within its borders. There is a total of $8,814.56 to ibe paid out for the services eft dhe fire fighters. The town of Diana has the largest bill, it being fully $3,000. G. C. DRIVE OVER THE BILTMQRE ESTATE Ta be Arranged For National Southern Park Convention Delegates.

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.
