The AppacUhian Forest Eeserre Mr. Editob: Kindly allow me space in your valued paper1, not as Inuch to answer the recent at tack byjthe gentleman from Elk Park, but to give some extracts from the Forest Reserve Bill and other literature sent put by the Secretary of Agriculture, with the hope that these may be read and give some of the people a better idea of this important matter. The Avriter from Elk Park evi dently means and wants to work upon the uninformed people of this fair land of ours, in as much as the people generally do not know what the bill is or what its intents are as to our forests etc. He says in the beginning that he does not know what the Gov- ernment wants or what it propo. ses to do, and then proceeds to figure out all except 200 settlers of the 8,000,000 people livftig within the proposed boundaries, as ne sees tnem. Again he nays there will be no teaching of the perpetuation of forests for we will have none to perpetuate, un less we want to work free of cfiarge, as provided in Sec. 2 of the bill I will give Sec. 2 in full and let's see what that says: v'That the Secretary of Agri culture shall advertise in the sev eral states named in the act for lands to be purchased under the provisions hereof, and as between lands of equal value, for the pur pose of this act, the lowest bids shall be accepted. Provided, that the Secretary of Agriculture shall have right toireject;all bids. Provi ded farther, That the Secretary of Agriculture is hereby authorized and empowered, in his discre tion, to contract for the pur chase of lands, exclusive ol tim ber thereon, of kinds and sizes to be specified in the contract. Said timber to be cut and removed in accordance with the rule and regulations to be prescribed by him for that purpose. And, Pro vided farther, that the Secretary of Agriculture is hereby author ized and empowered in his discre tion to contract lor the purchase of said lands, exclusive of the mineral rights therein, and oh euch lands mineral deposits may be mined under such rules and regulations as provided jn.this section, for cutting and remov ing timber and mining materials shall be embodied in the con tract for purchase end convey ance of title." This is section 2 of the bill as passed by the United States, Senate, June 22, 1906. Dear reader, is there any word in this of working for the Gov ernment free or anv other way? The writer is sadly mistaken or h'epurposely intends to deceive the' people. "Consistency thou arta jewvl." He also says that the Govern ment intends to reforest all the cleared lands. Here are extracts from a statement sent out by the Secretary of Agriculture, which I now have before me and will gladly show .them to any one: 'It will be as necessary to buy cut-over lands and abandoned fa-ims where they lie on impor tant watersheds, as lands which are heavily clad with forest. Of lands of equal value for reserve purposes, those which. can be bought cheapest should be bou't first. In no case can .exorbitant prices be paid. . "If they are entirely denuded, then as soon as posible they, should be planted." - 'As to taking away our farming lands, listen again to one of au thority, who says: "No agricultural lands shall be included within the reserves where it can be possibly avoided. If ' it is necessary to purchase small tracts of land suitable lor funning in order to o b t a i n large tracts of important moun- ! tain lands provisions should lie; made for re selling or otherwise ! utilizing theseagricultural lands.' Farther Jhe Secretary'says. Lis ten to his words of wisdom spear king from experiente: ' To farming and fruit-growing the reserve would be a greatstim ulus. They would take out of use no land that could properly em ployed for thesepurposes and the protection of the higher moun tain slopes would greatly add to the safety of forming and fruit growing in the valleys below. Neither would they stop the' use of the mountains for grazing pur poses where they are proper food for stock. The hijrh mountain j tops or balds" which might be included in the reserves, and good gras lands could be graz- led without interfering with the purpose of the reserves." Again as lo the reduction of the population which my friend figured in so extensively: "The many other URes which can be made of the mountains, would be facilitated rather than hindered. Such uses as power de velopment, hotels, residence sites, rights of way, saw mills, and any legitimate purpose whatever that does not endanger the forests. As to the free adyertising spo ken of by Mr. Cone. This is a yell known fact that every thinking man knows to be true. The mere fact that the Congress of thUni ted States should set apart some of this remon would proclaim to the world that we have a conn try beautiful beyond the' knowl edge of the general public. We would haye a count ry that would vie with the mountains of;Swit zerland. whose fame is world wide Switzerland, where thegov ernment controls the forests and receives $800 anuually per acre therefor. This region in question is within 24 hour's ride of 60,000,000 people and it would become one of the great vacation grounds of the nation. The gentleman from Elk Park re fers to the President's letter of transmittal to Congress. This only embodies the President's views of the matter and is of no practical value as to cost and the number of ace8 to be inclu ded in the proposed forest re serves. Why, I will give you the words of the Secrretary of Agri culture: ' "The last Congress appropria ted $25,000 to provide foranau thoritive report on the necessity of establishing forest reserves in the Appalachian mountains. If the reserves must be established Congress wants to know where they are located, how large thev must be and what will be the ul timate cost. The Forest Service is now working on these piob leras. i "It will first determine how much land the Government will have to buy in order to protect the Appalachian water and tim ber resources. Next it will decide where first reserves should be lo cated, and finally information as to what the lands will cost. How extensive the reserves should be nobody knows it present. "This is one of the most im portant things to bo covered by the Forest Service in its report to Congress' next winter Con gress will certainly want to know before starting on this problem wh'jre the stopping point will be.' Now. what have we to fear from tins? Wherein need we be n iitl 1 1 Ai uneasy? When and. where has the Government worked, a hardship upon the common people or any law-abiding citizen? . How dare no flftflitil t.hP motive Vbo.ltJ,Uft aml buillls t:iem UP- Gvr-n' McKinlev. who urtre,! tha vnrr,i ble consideration of this bill by Congress? How dure we say this is a movement calculated to op'- press the people? Tyranny! How can a man of common sense use this word when all the Senators and Congressmen and Governors of these nine states are advoca ting and doing all they can to get this bill passed. Why is it op posed? Because the common peo ple are being deceived by men who do not give the facts in the case, but seek to - prejudice the people aguinst it. Only. the opposition of Speaker Cannon has kept, the bill from passing long ago, and why has this man done this? Oh, the Government would have to spend so much money! Yes, the poor government is so easily bank rupt. No, this is not. the reason . I verily believe such men as these are jealous pf the South and be grudge the riioney the Govern ment would spend here. I have taken more space than I expect ed, and will close. Respectfully, Lekoy S. Boiling eh. Blowing Rock, N C. You can't be well if you have a weak, unhealthy, tired out stomach. Neither can you feel gocd if by some little irregularity n eatinf you hae caused the stomach to tret out of order. These little stomach troubles are figns of indigestion, which may am' very often does turn into a very bad case of dyspepsia. Don't allow this to go on a single day without doing something to overcome it. Take some good re liable digestant like Kodol for Dys pepsia. Kodol is the bcbt remedy knowu today for heartburn, belch ing and all troubles arising from a disoidered digestion. It is pleasant to take and affords relief promptly. Sold by J. M. Hodges. Senator Cullom, Republican, of Illinois7 like a good many other people, is tired of the govern ment having to constantly de p6sit money in New York to re lieve the financial situation. "The truth is," says theSenator, the govertinent should keep out of this mess that has overcome Wall street. Whenever these men get in trouble they send for the Secretary of the Treasury and demand that he should take millions from the vaults of the government and dend? them to the speculators to help them out of their trouble. That sort of thing ought to bestopped. Wall street should be left to take care of itself without involving the affairs of the government. If these men should know that the government would not step in with its money at time of stress they would be more careful in the management of their affairs and there would be fewer of these. Wall street panics. The times has come when the nnwspaperaJ of the country should take a firm stand against the tendency on the part of almost everybody tn run to the government and Congress whenever they get in trouble th rough their various projects."
