ON PARK BILL
FULL TEXT OF BRILLIANT NEW
YORK iSENATOR'S PLEA IN
ITS BEHALF.
When He Had Concluded, the
General Disposition was to
Pass the Bill at once.
AT SIMMONS' REQUEST
NO VOTE WAS TAKEN
SENATOR PRITCHARD GIVES NO-
TTCE THAT HE WILL, ASK FOR A
VOTE SOME TIME. THIS WEEK
THINKS THE. MEASURE WILL.
PASS BY AN ' -OVERWHELMING
MAJORITY $10,000,000 for 4,000,000
ACRES.
Special to the Gazette.
Washington, June 7. Senator Depew
today delivered his speech on. the park
bill ibefore a well attended senate and
well filled galleries.
At the conclusion of Mr. Depew's
speech there was a general disposition
on 4;he part -of the senators to pass the
bill without further debate, but Sen-
Jator Simmons had made a request that
no action . be taken in regard to the
'matter until he could address the sen
jate on the subject. This had the ef
! feet of postponing the vote for the pres
ient, but Senator Pritchard gave notice
: that he would ask for a. vote on. the bill
some time next week. Senator Pritch-
ard has been doing effective work in
behalf of the measure, and he is of the
opinion that the senate will pass the
j bill toy an overwhelming majority. It
was rumored that Senator Simmons
would have spoken yesterday, but that
the attendance of the senate was small
and he preferred to delay rather than
again address an empty senate,
f Senator Depews -speech iwas as f ol-
I ' Mr. Pnesideht," Senate bill 5228, for the
purchase of a national iforest reserve in
the southern Appalachian mountains, to
Ue kown as the "National AppalachlaD
Forest Reserve,"- has iheeh carefully
examined, and received" a unanimously
favorable report from the committee on
forest reservations and the' protection
of game.
As. a nemtoer of that committee I was
deeply impressed with t the testimony
presented. The results of the investi
gation were so convincing and satisfac
tory that legislation seemed to the
committee Ito be imperative.
President Roosevelt In his message to
the present congress under date of
December 19, 190L 6ay: :
I heartily commend this measure to
the favorable consideration of the con
gress. The secretary of agriculture, Hon.
James Wilson, in his report to congress
of the date, says:
The agricultural resources of the
southern AoDalachian region must be
protected and preserved. To that end
the preservation of the forests is ah in
ispensabie. condition, which will lead
not to the reduction but to the increase
of the yield of agricultural products.
I The preservation of the forests, of the
'streams, and of the agricultural inter
ests here described can toe successfully
accomplished only toy the purohase and
creation of a national forest reserve.
The .states of the southern Appaach
ian region awn little or no land, and
