6 chase); other portions came by right of discovery (Oregon and Washington), while still other portions were ceded by Mexico as the result of war (California, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona). Had these various lands been sold by our Government, the proceeds of such sale would have gone into the Treasury of the United States, but instead they have been withdrawn from sale and set aside as national forest reserves for the general benefit of the nation, and for the special benefit of the States and Territories within which these various reservations are located. The measure under consideration involves a purchase by the Government of the forest lands which are to be incorporated into a forest reservation instead of, as in most of the former cases, a withdrawal from sale of forest lands formerly purchased. The principle, as well as the purpose, is much the same in both cases, and if judged simply on a question of finance, the Government's investment would prove a good one. Mr. SPOONER. Mr. President The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Does the Senator from North Carolina yield to the Senator from Wisconsin? Mr. PRITCHARD. Certainly. Mr. SPOONER. Will it interrupt the Senator if I ask him a question? Mr. PRITCHARD. No; it will not. Mr. SPOONER. I am in sympathy with the purpose the Senator has in view, but I should like to inquire of the Senator as to who own these forests? Mr. PRITCHARD. They are owned by various individuals. There are some tracts comprising 10,000 acres and some tracts of only 200 or 300 acres, and so on, which are owned by different persons. Mr. SPOONER. A great number of people? Mr. PRITCHARD. I do not think there are more than a thousand people embraced within the territory that will be included in this reserve; that is, people who would be inclined to sell their tracts of land. Mr. SPOONER. Is there any State ownership in it? Mr. PRITCHARD. No; I do not think there is an acre of State land in the western portion of the State; but in eastern North Carolina there are a thousand acres which are still owned by the State, and this land constitutes our school fund. Mr. SPOONER. Is it proposed by the bill that these settlers or owners shall be bought out by the Government for cash? Mr. PRITCHARD. Yes; that is the purpose of the bill. Mr. BATE. May I ask the Senator what is the amount involved? Mr. PRITCHARD. The amount eventually contemplated to be appropriated is $10,000,000. The present bill authorizes an appropriation for present purposes of only $2,000,000, to be used by the Secretary of Agriculture in his discretion for the purchase of this land. Mr. SPOONER. Is not this a new departure? Mr. PRITCHARD. I do not think it is. In so far as the purchase of the land is concerned, to be used as a forest reserve, it is not a new departure, as I shall be able to show the Senator a little later on in the course of my speech. Mr. SPOONER. I know that the forest reserves heretofore created have been created from practically Government lands, 5211

Early on, the Appalachian National Park Association met with legislative success. In 1900, a bill passed authorizing funds to investigate the possibility of a national park in the eastern U.S. and, in December 1901, Congress introduced a bill to purchase land. While the Appalachian National Park Association initially argued for a national park, it used the terms “national park” and “forest reserve” somewhat interchangeably. As the bill made its way through Congress, funds were earmarked for a “forest reserve” rather than a “national park.” Unfortunately, when a separate bill was re-introduced in 1902, Congress was not able to reconcile the two bills and they failed.
