  • Sen. Pritchard, in Louisville, Ky., Dispatch: This is the first opportunity thatthe country at large has had to do something for the mountain region of the States named in the bill, and I am satisfied that our representatives in Congress are ready and willing to appropriate the money necessary for the establishment of the proposed forest reserve, and I am quite sure that the American people will endorse their action with respect to the same. New Orleans, La., Picayune: The Appalachian region is accessible to a greater number of the citizens of the United States than any other section where there is any likelihood of anational park reserve being established. Pittsburg, Pa., Post: In the way of forest preservation a striking idea comes from Asheville, North Carolina, which is the center of a movement to make a forest reserve of the group of mountains lying at a point of contact of the boundaries of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. Forester, Washington, D. C: It is safe to say that only the great pressure of other business prevented the House from voting in its favor this year. Some ground will have to be gone over again, but it needs no prophet to see that though its friends failed of success this year, this reserve will in time be established. New York Evening Post: No one who has visited the Land of the Sky has failed to be impressed with its harmonious natural beauties. Forest and Stream: The Appalachian National Park may be regarded as a thing accomplished. 23
