10 northern end into the Chesapeake Bay and the Albemarle Sound, respectively. The Pee Dee, the Congaree, and the Savannah, flowing from the North Carolina mountains across South Carolina into the Atlantic. The Chattahoochee and the Alabama, flowing from the southern end of these mountains directly into the Gulf of Mexico. The French Broad and other tributaries of the Tennessee flowing westward into the Mississippi. The Kanawha, which flows northwestward from the northern end of these mountains into the Ohio. Mr. BACON. If the Senator will pardon me, in order that his enumeration of these rivers may be complete, I will suggest to him a very important river, the name of which he omitted. Mr. PRITCHARD. To what river does the Senator refer? Mr. BACON. The Altamaha, with its tributaries. Mr. PRITCHARD. I did not name that. Mr. BACON. The Altamaha Biver and its tributaries drain a large part of central Georgia, and have their headwaters in that range of mountains. Mr. PRITCHARD. I am very much obliged to the Senator for the suggestion. The damages from floods to the agricultural lands and other properties along the streams during the spring and summer of the year 1900 were estimated by the Secretary of Agriculture to have aggregated not less than $10,000,000. The damages along- one river in North Carolina—the Catawba—from the storms in the Blue Ridge Mountains during May and August, 1901, amounted to $1,500,000. Mostof the bridges, the mills, the crops, and the farm lands for nearly 200 miles wrere swept away in the course of a few hours. A single storm last year in one small valley in Mitchell County, N. C, a valley which had been largely cleared of its forests, wrought damages to the amount of more than half a million dollars. Still more recent damages from storms along these streams during December, January, and February have been almost as great as those during the spring and summer of 1901; among other things, at least one-third of the little town of Marshall, N. C., being completely swept away during the month of February. The following statement will give some idea as to the extent of damages along streams rising in the proposed Appalachian Forest Reserve since April 1, 1901: Kanawha, adjacent streams (in Virginia and West Virginia) $1,000,000 Roanoke, James, etc. (inVirginia) _ 1,000,000 Watauga (in North Carolina and Tennessee) 2,000,000 Nolichucky (in North Carolina and Tennessee) 2,000,000 French Broad (in North Carolina and Tennessee) 1,500,000 Tuckaseegee and Hiawassee 1,500,000 Broad, Saluda, and Catawba (in South Carolina) 1,000,000 Yadkin and Dan and Roanoke (in North Carolina) 1,000,000 Catawba (in North Carolina) 2,000,000 Savannah and Chattahoochee (in Georgia) 2,000,000 Coosa (in Georgia and Alabama) 2,000,000 Tennessee and other tributaries 1,000,000 Total 18,000,000 It may be safely estimated that the damages from storms during the past twelve months along the rivers which rise in the Southern Appalachian mountain region have aggregated nearly $20,000,000, 5241

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.
