The sale could not go through 'until signed by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. 1 went to Washington and placed the matter fully before hira and suffice it so say that he did not sign the sale, The corporation to-day are offering $10,000,00 more for exactly tha same timber miS still the Commissioner of Indian Affairs does not sign, tf the timber on this reservation has increased .'-/IG,000,00 in two months, your tract must certainly also be gaining something in value, If you care to look up the Cherokee timber .matter, you might address the Commissioner of Indian kf- fairs in regard to the sa~e» ?rof» (5 if ford Pinchot of Washington would be the right party for you to correspond with as to the probabilities of the establishment of the Park and he certainly could give you better ideas as to the location than could anybody else.

Description

Various organizations and individuals expressed support of an Appalachian National Park and a bill before Congress authorizing the purchase of four million acres for that purpose. A movement for a national park in the Appalachians was spearheaded by Appalachian National Park Association, formed in 1899. The association raised public awareness of the issue, but disbanded before the formation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
