-2- WBSTERH FOREST RESERVES. As we are already aware, a large portion of this western land was originally purchased (as in the Louisiana purchase) by the nation when the nation consisted of a few eastern states; another portion came by right of discovery (Oregon and Washington), and still another portion was ceded by Mexico as the result of war (California, Utah, Nevada and Arizona). Had all these forest lands been sold by our government, the prooeeds would have gone into the national treasury and in one way and another divided among the then existing states; but, instead, large areas have been withdrawn from sale and set aside as national forest reserves for the general benefit of the nation as a whole, but for the special benefit of the states and territories within which the reserves are located, which they help by perpetuating the timber supply, by protecting the sources of important streams and by preventing the ultimate destruction of the great western mountains themselves. There are 41 of these separate reserves, ranging in area from 10,000 acres to 4-l/2 million acres; the total area of all of these reserves being more than 72,000 square miles, or a little more than forty-six million acres. These western forest reserves have cost the government nearly $10,000,000. Besides rendering the people of the western states ft servloe which will be of incalculable and perpetual value indirectly, they have already attained a commercial value of not less than $200,000,000. This is clearly proving a good investment for the nation. The establishment of the proposed Appalachian Forest Reserve involves the purchase by the government of the forest covered lands which are to be incorporated in the reserve, instead of, as in the other case, simply a withdrawal from sale of forest lands formerly purchased. The principle, as well as the purpose, is the same in both cases; and even if judged simply as a question of finance, this investment by the government will prove as good a one as that of the 'western forest reserves.

This 8-page talk on “The Proposed Appalachian National Forest Reserve” was drafted by Professor J. A. Holmes in 1901. Among other points made by Holmes is his call for the “protection and perpetuation of the forests of this country, especially of the mountain forests about the sources of our important streams, must be recognized as a national problem.” Holmes was a professor of geology and natural history at the University of North Carolina from 1881-1903. His speech is in the collection of the Appalachian National Park Association records.
