'sented to Congress by the Appalachian i National Park association December 19. Is d a boundary which for many reasons it would be desirable to include. It was pointed out,^however, that there were other locations equally i desirable and available. "Senator Pritehard, of North Caro- | Una, secured tho passage of a bill by 'Congress In January, 1900, appropriat- | ing $5,000 for a preliminary lnvestiga- '; tion of the southern Appalachian for- l ests. The investigation was left in the j hands of the Secretary of Agriculture ■This department, with the assistance of i the Geological Survey, mapped the j whole region from Virginia to South ! Carolina and Georgia during the sum- } mer of 1900. On January 16, 1901, the President of the United States, in a special message ! to Congress, sent the report of the sec- [retary of agriculture to that body and recommended it to- | favorable consideration. The Secret- j ary's report was also accompanied by a i map (see Calendar No. 2227, Senate, 56th ■ Congress, Report 2221), which again i called particular attention to this area already referred to along the North i Carolina-Tennessee state line. Follow- 1 ing this, Senator Pritehard introduced a bill into the Senate praying for an appropriation of $5,000,000. This bill was referred to the Committee on Agricul- and Forest Reservations and was favorably reported back by this committee to the Senate. More Important matters crowded the question out, auu a \i.te was not taken at the last session of Congress. The movement, however, has warm friends in both Houses, and the Indications are that the bill will receive favorable consideration when the opportune time arrives.

Marshall N. C, May 5.—The work of gathering tan bark, the bark of certain of oak, is just beginning in earnest. As it is sold by the ton, and this place is expected to be an extensive market for this commodity, new- scales are being put up for weighing it. it is said the price will be at the opening of the market, about $5 per ton. The fair prospects of the early establishment of the Appalachian Forest Reserve have doubtless had effect of accentuating these onslaughts into the oak forests primeval, since it is IV that this reason may be the last in li the ruthless woodsman may fell the stately oaks and leave their now erchantable trunks to decay on the tbe ex nVe JUrk "''" brln« Tom '™' ndu ,t;;'pp,;iht,i,"s th:it ■« * *° seem th-,, ,l"B tlK "«**«».

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.
