  • Montgomery, Ala., Advertiser: The Appalachian Park will offer many substantial advantages which the Yellowstone lacks, and we hope the matter will not be allowed to rest until all steps are taken and all the laws passed necessary to carry the project to a successful termination. New York, N. Y., Times: The region selected for this proposed reserve is one of the most picturesque and attractive in the United States. New York, N. Y., Tribune: If no steps by the Government of the United States are taken, the entire tree system of these states will be obliterated, leaving the peaks and valleys of six great states of the Union divested of timber and foliage. Hartford, Conn., Courant: The Appalachian Park ought in a dozen years from now to be one of the chief attractions of the United States. The decisions in ■ its favor would be unanimous if the matter was left to those who knew the country and its possibilities. New York, N. Y., Morning Sun: The question is whether this large source of supply shall be depleted or whether by the methods of scientific forestry the timber shall be renewed so that later generations as well as ourselves may have the benefit of it. Roanoke, Va., World: Such an appropriation of money, though it be large, would be justified and would preserve a section of the country unrivalled for beauty. Commercial, Buffalo, N. Y.: The idea is endorsed by the National Bureau of Forestry. 18
