To preserve both the water powers and the forests of this beautiful and healthful region Is the primary object of the promoters of this great enterprise, and it can be truthfully said that there is no section of the Union that is not interested in the success of the movement. The New York Times speaks of it as: "One of the most interesting matters now before congress, and one which should attract general interest," and in summing up the advantages which will accrue from the establishment of this reserve, makes the following strong statements: "The people of the United States are all vitally Interested in this proposit'on. It is much more than a question of mere dollars and cents at the present time. It is a question which looks to the whole future, so far as our timber supply goes, and even in a large manner, of our whole industrial character. One problem is whether by the destruction of this magnificent forest area the I streams now furn'shing water power to I vast industries and having hundreds ! of undeveloped powers, and which feed i many of our great rivers, shall be shrunken into insignificance or dried up. Another is the vast benefit to be derived from the educational woi% cal ried on by such a forest reserve The Preservation of the Fores' and cutting of the timber in a sci%- tific way will give a steady availal supply of timber for all time, and will teach the people of all sections the proper care and utilization of our forests. The reserve will set aside a limited portion of our hard wood areas, and that portion which is most suitable, for the examination and study of future generations." The healthfulness of the Appalachian region, and particularly the plateau which lies between the Great Smoky mountains and the Blue Ridge chain, is beyond dispute, and has for years been one of the best known and most deservedly popular health resorts of the Union. Its geographical location, as well as its geological formation, conspire to make health conditions perfect, and malaria and other diseases, peculiar to other sections, are unknown, Tbe climate Is admirably adapted to the cure of all pulmonary troubles, and thousands from all sections of the country are found each year In Western North Carolina seeking relief in this great sanitarium of nature. It should also be stated that this part of the Appalachian chain can be reached from New York, Chicago, St. Louis, ■ Toledo and the Gulf States in from 18 , to 24 hours. *■ . That the bill now pending in congress , and which l.as been favorably reported by the senate committee, having [ now in charge, will be passed, cannot be doubted. The statesmen of both : the south and north, know that nothing will be more Instrumental In Attracting the Attention of the people of this country, and In fact the entire world, to the mountain section of North Carolina, and Tennessee, than the establishment of this reserve. This being so the enterprise has received, and is still receiving the cordial approval of the progressive element of the country, and therefore failure is impossible. Before closing this article, let me. state that under the new bill introduced by Major Moody In to the house of representatives, at the present session of congress, the extent of the appropriation is not five, but ten million dollars, and it Is believed that this sum will easily secure an area of 4,000,000 acres, as the price per acre, on an average, will not be over $2.50. Of course, some of the land can be purchased for about one-half that sum, while other tracts will command higher figures, bjit as a whole,- the territory acquired will not exceed that amount per acre. In orded that your readers may be better able to understand the scope and purposes of the new bill, I beg to incorporate In this article, section 8, of the new bill, which is as follows. That the secretary of agriculture is hereby authorized and empowered to make contracts for the purchase of lands and accept conveyance thereof ■ in accordance with the provisions of this act, to the amount of not to exceed ten million dollars, and the sum >f two million dollars thereof, to be available immediately and until the ■xpii-atlon of the year ending June | hirtieth, nineteen hundred and six, is ! hereby appropriated, out of any moneys n the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, for the purchase of lands for i national forest reserve and otherwise to carry out the provisions of this act: Provided,That the secretary of agriculture shall, each, year, make a detailed report to congress of his doings In the. premises: And provided further, That no part of said sum hereby appropriated shall be expended for the purchase of land in the state of West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South I 'ina, Georgia, Alabama, or Tennessee inder the provisions of this act until a valid title to the same shall be vi in the United States, and until the itate In which the land lies shall have :eded to the United States exelu iurlsdiction of the same during the time the Uriited States shall be or remain the owner thereof, for all purposes ex- lept the administration of the criminal s of said state and the service of any civil process therein. I see from the Asheville Dally Gazette, that Major Moody, who Is now : in Asheville with Congressman Scott, if i presses a strong hop' the bill will be favorably consn and become a law at this session ol congress. Major Scott, In an Intel with a reporter, of thi voices the opinion of Major Moody. He says: I believe 't has gold prospects of becoming a law. There are no "knockers," that I know of. There are many who are enthusiastic,' and want to do all they can to secure Its passage. Let us trust, Mr. Editor, that the opinion of these eminent gentlemen II correct and that ere long the National Appalachian Forest Reserve bill will become a law. Very respectfully, WALTER L. JENKINS. (A resident of Asheville, N. C, at present, in the clerical force of I. A. Brown, superintendent of transportation, National Steel works.)

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.
