Ambler, Secretary of Ui Appalachian National Park Associa tion: Dear Sir: Knowing1 that the associ ation desired that women should take an interest in the project of the South ern National Park, and Forest reserve, having myself recently taken a trip on horse back through various sections of the mountains which may be consid ered as available localities for the park. I shouM like to give a little account of my experiences and of what I saw while traveling for some weeks the past summer through the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. In brief my husband and I started from Knoxville on saddle horses, taking a pack horse for our baggage. We followed the Little Tennessee river up into the (mountains, it being a swift and wild mountain river with rocks and fine cliffs along its banks in many places. We put up nights with the people wherever dark overtook us and we met with kindness and the best hospitality the houses or cabins afforded. The Ghilihowee mountains were the first we crossed and then on we went to the Great Smoky range, wjxich we ascended on the Tennessee side and came down the other into North Caro lina. The road' over the tSmokies we found entirely too rough for a wagon and were very glad we were in the saddle, free to pick our way, for we would have missed so much of the really grand and wiM scenery if we had been obliged to "keep to the most traveled trails and roads. We spent several days riding and walking over the fine old Smoky moun tains, seeing the great extent of cattle ranges on the top, where the grass grows in luxuriance, and then it was a great charm to see the forests so un touched by the hand of man and find such grand old trees chestnut, many kinds of oak, tulip, magnolia and many other of the trees in their perfection. Also great groves of rhododendron covering many acres on the rocky sides and tops of mountains. We spent one day groping our way on foot and on hands and knees some times, through endless avenues worn through the rhododendron by the -black bear, where no doubt they have for centuries trodden their way until now it remains a perfect archway of old gnarled trunks and branches of rhodo endron sometimes six to eignt inches in diameter. Though we saw fresh signs of bear about the wallowing holes and the scenes of conflicts with hunters and also some skeletons of bear which had been caught in traps, we did not see any live ones. Frequently we were startled in the woods by the sound of wild tur key taking flight and saw a good! many of these fine birds along our wav. r jA mountaineer, who. is a herdsman over many miles of the Great Smoky mountains, guided1 us over the ranges to his cabin. A hard climb in saddle and on foot from morning until the fuil moon arose as we reached his cabin, where we were quite ready to rest, and after first being refreshed by fine water from a nearby spring, and then enjoy ing a supper cooked over the coals on the hearth we retired' to beds of moss on the floor. One of the peaks over which we climbed and got a grand view, was Thunder Head, a rugged, rocky bare top; from it we looked down into the Tennessee, the Chilhowee mountains and the Cumberland mountains to the north to the southeast the Blue Ridge the Unaka to the southwest onidl Nan- tahalas further south, Clingman's Dome and other high peaks all about us, over 6,000 feet, were very grand and imposing. In this part of the mountains there are very beautiful, clear streams, whose swift torrents dash over rocks. with laurel and rhododendron over hanging their banks. The trout we en joyed very much too both in seeing them in the clear pools and in eating them1. " We ascended by another trail and wound our way back to the little settle ment and clearing we had started from, none the worse for our climb, though it had been rough for horses and peo ple. Our journey next took us through Macon county, which is so well known for its mines; many of these we visit ed. Among the valleys some very fine little farms are located. Next we came to the Highlands reg ion and Sapphire, these places being so well known for their fine old rugged bluffs, Whitesides andl other moun tains, for the exquisite scenery abound ing in beautiful water falls and rivers, with always rhododendron along their banks I will only say we greatly en joyed these places and found the ac commodations very comfortable. The Nantahala valley, with its river, along which the Murphy railroad and the highway runs for some distance, is a vJeep, narrow beautiful gorge between the mountains. ' The Balsam mountains are very fine and imposing with their dark growth of balsam on the top, the great cloud shadows adding to their beauty. Uast but not least I will speak of the fine old Craggy and Black mountain ranges, within easy reach of Asheville; "BEFORE BABY IS BORN." Valuable Little Book of Interest to All Women Sent Free.

The Swannanoa river rises among the Blacks; 'Mitchell's peak being 6,688 feet high is the highest of any of the mountains east of the Rock ies. Balsam grows on the Blacks and gives them their dark coloring and with the beautiful growth of the rho idodendron which is everywhere, gives color to the mountains in its season of blossoming with the American laurel and azalia, besides many other flower ing shrubs and trees make all these mountains a real garden of luxuriant beauty so different from the RocKies. We traveled over roads and trails un known to us and over much country very thinly settled, as the Smoky mountain region, but never met with trouble or anything but kindly treat ment and courtesy from the people through whose country few strangers go, except the cattlemen andl lumber men occasionally. Though some days in the" saddle from 6 a. m. to 9 p. m. with a noon rest along -the road side, we were never too tired to thoroughly enjoy our trip. We never could - have taken the journey otherwise than on horseback. We are deeply interested in the pur pose ofyour association and hope that the fine old forests and 'beautiful scen ery of these southern mountains will be preserved) to our country as a national forest reserve park for the benefit and enjoyment of the people in time to come. As a woman, traveling through as we did, I found is accessible and enjoyable and the most delightful experience I have ever had and! I hope to be able to repeat it. With the sincere hope that the asso ciation will succeed in its good wo-rk, from a well wisher. J. S. G. P. 'Pittsfield, Mass. Detfness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot readh the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way t cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflfamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tutoe. When this tube gets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it ie en tirely closed deafness is the resullt, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing wlill be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by cat arrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surf ces.

Gazette Bureau, Washington, Feb 14. The situation regarding the Judge Ewart contest was . today clarified to a considerable extent, and the action of the sub-committee in making an ad verse report, seems less a surprise. In attempting to prove Judge Ewart' s un fitness for the place the opposition lodged the charge that he had confirmed a report made by George H. Smathers in the Cherokee Indian suit, he having an interest in the litigation at the time. The charge, made as it was on the spur of the moment, gave an unfortu nate turn to affairs for the friends of Judge Ewart. He called attention to the fact that he had, at the time the Smathers report was confirmed, abso lutely no connection with the case. That he had a long time ago appeared' In the""case, but his fee had been paid; that notwithstanding this fact xie had felt a doubt about the propriety of tak ing any action concerning the report and had, in accordance with a United States statute, asked the advice of Judge Slmonton, the circuit judge. The circuit judge stated emphatically that Judge Ewart could with perfect pro priety take action regarding the re port. All this Judge Ewart stateu, but had no witnesses or written evidence to substantiate his explanation until after the committee baxi! submitted its report. Today Judge Ewart received a letter and telegram from Judge Sl monton, the former putting the case in a nutshell, thus: "I wrote you yester day stating that in the Boyd case you acted under my advice." To further explain the case Colonel R. B. Glenn, who was the district at torney at the time the Smathers report was maJde; James M. Moody and George H. Smathers will be summoned here at once to fully explain the entire proceeding to the committee. As the committee attached little or no importance to any of the late charges that have been brought against Judge Ewart, it is likely that Senator Simon, chairmanof the sub-committee, will reconsider his decision to vote against confirmation and that the whole committee will take early and favorable action. This latest flue Is very naturally expected! to have a boomerang effect. 4c Although it has come a little tardy, considerable interest is being mani fested In the financial debate In the senate. Senator Wolcott made a bril liant speech yesterday and had as usu al a large, attentive audience, and Al lison was the orator of today. He was frequently interrupted by the ubiquit ous Tillman. The Post, in comment ing on the speech of Senator Butler, eaiid' this morning: "Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, then began a speech oh his substitute for the senate bill entitled 'An act to es tablish a unit of account.' He main tained that under the constitution con gress had unlimited authority to manu facture money out of gold or silver or paper, or of either of these, or all of them. He said his amendment pro vided that the greenback the patriot ic friend of the people the kind of money that did. not desert the people when trouble came, should be used as money instead of gold and silver. In five years, he said, the national debt could be extinguished. This plan was not received with favor by those who controlled the finances of the govern ment, but he believed it wouM' be the best for the people." Hon. Spencer Blackburn is a recent arrival here.
