  • 182 SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN REGION. [Farmer Advocate, Topeka, Kans.] / Everyone interested in having this beautiful region preserved from wanton destruction by fire and timber thieves should write at once to their Congressmen to vote for the passage of the bill establishing the park. [The Medical Dial, Minneapolis, Minn.] The therapeutical uses of such a national park are exceedingly great. The salubrity of the climate in this section of the country, amid the • kA everlasting hills and the giant trees, has no parallel in the world. [St. Louis (Mo.)

[American Field, New York City.[ The American Field urges every public-spirited citizen of this country to "put his shoulder to the wheel" and to work upon his representatives in both halls of Congress to obtain during the next session of Congress decisive action toward the creation of the Appalachian and Minnesota national parks. [Harrisburg (Pa.)

Its promoters are moved only for the public good, and should this movement finally succeed, the thanks of the entire community will be due to them for their earnest efforts. A
