Y., Review: There is every reason why the movement for the establishment of the Appalachian Park in North Carolina should be successfully consummated. Providence, R. I., Journal: As a mere measure of protection to the material interests which may be affected by the cutting off the timber and the drying up of streams, Congress ought to do something about this as a Federal question. Chattanooga, Tenn., Times: A few more years will find this beautiful mountain section stripped of timber, no longer inviting to its picturesqueness those who would enjoy a true touch of nature.
