  • PAGE 5. -Tuesday-the ASHEVILLE fAZETTE-^ The Appalachian Pa The agricultural cull i laililifi j.; r the national house of i-epresentatires has favorably passed upon the bill to create a forest reserve in the form of the National Appalachian park. Tie region embraced is about 3,000 souare miles, including the wild and picturesque "land of the sky" in western North Carolina and adjacent states. The committee favors an appropriation of $10,000,000 to purchase and preserve those two millions of acres of mountains, valleys, forests aid streams that constitute a natural padc more beautiful and worthy of perpeti- ity/than any scenery of famous Swits- erland. The arguments in favor of the government establishing the park are st abundant and cogent as to have obtained the approval of patriots and presses throughout the country. The proper committee of the senate has already indorsed the project and now, it would seem, nothing remains of the preliminaries other than for our southern senators and congressmen to get behind the measure and push it through. Those splendid forests, primeval and protective of many vital interests, are being denuded by the ax of the lumberman, who are making merchandise of glories from the hand of God that the hands of men can never restore nor reproduce. The sacrifice of those forests means the lessening of the fountain sources of the great and important rivers that flow down through the southeastern states to the sea and gulf. The calamities which would follow upon such denudation of the hills from which our crystal streams of help come to valley and village, farm and city, are simply incalculable. It is sincerely to be hoped, that congress will not delay longer the enactment of the bill to buy and set apart for preservation, recreation and fruitful service to men and lesser tribes of creatures the superb domain in question. We urge the measure as one not wholly sentimental. It involves most practical issues. And we earnestly hope our southern members of congress will unite their voices and influence to bring this laudable and beneficent project to full fruition.

You will find when the bill lomes to a vote that it will be passed by republican votes."

The hill tor the establishment of a national forest reserve in the Southern Appalachians has been reported favorably in Congress. Nothing should be permitted to prevent its becoming an act. It authorizes the purchase of 4,00,000,000 acres of land in the mountain region extending from Southern Virginia and West Virginia to Northern Alabama and Georgia, touching South Carolina and Tennessee and containing not enly the greatest variety of timber in the country, but what it of equal importance, the head springs of more than a dozen important rivers emptying into the Atlantic ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The passage of the bill is of prime importance to secure conditions whereby the value of these streams for transportation and irrigation, and as sources of industrial and commercial power, may be maintained, If not increased, and to give practical encouragement to the development of scientific forestry, the necessity for which is becoming every year more recognized. _, ■ ^_
