Here the trees of north- :uid s»uthetn speeies mingle, and here many of the important rivers of I the South gather their waters, which afterwards used for power and supply. The importance of these rivers has of late years become more thoroughly understood from the results of the measurements to ascertain the volume of their flow, which the United States Geological Survey is conducting, and also the part played by the forests in icting their head waters and helping to equalize their flow. Thus, the ction of these forest is of great Importance, not only for the wood, but tor the water supply of the South.

The Asheville Citizen TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1902. PRITGHARD SURE OF PASSAGE OF PARK RILL Senator Pritehard thinks that the passage by Congress of the Appalachian park bill is an assured thing. "I am very much inclined to the opinion," he said this morning to a Citizen reporter, "that the bill will go through. A favorable report of it has been made by the House committee and it is to come up tomorrow before the agriculture committee for public hearing. "I have had a great many ask me about the bill," continued Senator Pritehard, "and I expect to give out a statement about it within a short time. It does not seem to be clearly understood." When asked about the proposed change of name of the park, Senator Pritehard preferred not to say anything about it. In fact, he said he nothing about it only from what In- had heard. Senator Pritehard left this afternoon, in Washington. The Asheville Citizen i THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1902.

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.
