]5 bill, range generally from'$l to $3 dollars per acre; but for occasional tracts, where the timber is exceptionally fine, the price may reach $5 per acre. Much of the land is held in bodies ranging from 5,000 to 60,000 acres. It is believed that under the conditions of the bill now under consideration the average price of this forest land will be between $2 and $2.50 per acre; so that the cost of the 4,000,000 acres proposed as the maximum will not exceed $10,000,000. The methods of procedure in the purchase of these lands under the provisions of this bill are left entirely to the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture. In addition to the confidence which that fact within itself inspires, it may also be added that in the bill itself the mode of procedure is safeguarded in every possible way. The bill authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to purchase for the purpose of this reserve mountain lands in each of seven different States, and it wisely leaves the matter largely in his discretion, which will enable him to guard against obstructions which may appear through speculators and others. We advocate this measure because we believe it is one of public utility. We say that the reasons for the passage of this measure are as great as those which prompt us to vote money to dredge the harbors and rivers of the country. It is exactly on the same idea, to say nothing about the other benefits which would naturally accrue to the public as the result of the passage of such legislation. Mr. President, my colleague is not prepared, I understand, to discuss this matter to-day, but I hope he may call it up some time next week in order that we may have a vote on the measure at as early a date as possible. 5241 o

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.
