A PROBLEM OF FIRE Expert Schenck's Estimate of Minnesota's Forestry Question. JUST BACK FROM THE WOODS Fire Protection and Road Building; Are Most Important—The Second Growth. Dr. C. A. Schenck, superintendent of the Vanderbilt estate at Biltmore, N. C, has jiiBt returned from his extensive tour of the north woods with Professor Green of the state agricultural college and General C. C. Andrews of the stae forestry board. IDr. Schenck was brought here by the state forestry board to lend expert advice to the commission, which has under way the framing of the forestry lawB proposed for the next legislature, he being one of the highest forestry authorities In the world. He has just completed bis investigation. The Itinerary Included Lake Itasca, St. Louis, Walker, Cass Lake, Solway, Buena IVsta. ,Red lake, Eveleth, Tower, Two Harbors, Duluth aud eVrmlllion Lake. Over 900 miles of forests were covered by the party of experts. Speaking to The Journal to-day on the results of his observations, Dr. Schenek said: it Is too early fur me to "ive any definite proposals for forest, laws. However, the forest problem la a fire problem. The great thing that 1? needed mid the absolutely sail thiiiK is lire protection. The present laws are altogether inadequate. We were deeply impressed everywhere with th? fact that roads furnished one of tiie most efficient barriers against Ares. This is one of the prime features of European forestry protection. Every state should develop roads j through Its forests. They arrest fires almost absolutely and are an aid at the same time in the development of the country. Development of roads and tire protection should be central features of all legislation ln sola. As to how much of the country Is fit for d growth. 1 feel sure It i» nearly 70 per cent. Only about 30 per cent of the cleared land will be profitable for a century yet for agriculture. It is a tremendous economic question. All that Vii per Ibe cleared laud of the northern vroods should be at once put In Willi absolutely adequate fire protection, it will pay ai present lumber prices about 5 per cent. Every acre of land will grow annually about 185 feet, broad measure, of limber. This is a much better return than any agriculture could bring on these rmediate lands fit for ag- rlculture should be steadily cultivated, aud will help in ihe tire protection. It is obvious that, a crop on poor lands and so far north cannot compete with the I] more fertile lands of the central states. I This will hold true for a long time to come. ; Meanwhile, the state cannot be too active I in developing the second growth of timber. Dr. Schunck will be the guest of the , forestry board for a few days, when he will make a second tour of the woods as the -tuest of the congressional committee investigating the national park scheme.

This 37-page scrapbook was put together by A. H. McQuilkin, a Chicago-based editor who moved to Asheville, North Carolina in the mid-1890s. The scrapbook starts out with an article from one of McQulkin’s own publications, “Southern Pictures and Pencillings,” but also includes clippings from other sources including the “Asheville Citizen.” Most of the clippings date to 1899. McQuilkin and Ambler were founding members of the Appalachian National Park Association, which promoted the idea of a national park in the southern Appalachians. The association disbanded in 1905. The frontispiece of the book is inscribed “Per C. P. Ambler/1929,” the date Ambler donated the material to the State Archives.
