In Interest of the Appalachian Park Movement. Is keguest jof the Ashevilie Board of Trade. Board Jhinks Ashevilie the Place to Hold Convention. yesterday . afternoon at , 5 o'clock a meeting of .the directors . of the board of trade was held at the auditorium. The .meeting wts called to order by the chairman, T. W. Raoul, who stat ed .that its object was to introduce B. JR. .Strong .of the Knoxville chamber of commerce, who had been sent to Ashevilie to see what the attitude of the board of trade is toward the Appa lachian .park movement. Mr. Strong then stated that he .was a. member of the Knoxville chamber of commerce, and had come to see and report Ashevilie' relation to the Ap palachian Park association. He said it was to the advantage of Ashevilie and JKnoxvilte to pull together in ev erything, but .especially in this matter.; that Ashevilie was the recognized head quarters of the Appalachian ;park movement, and that it had been sug gested that a convention be held here. R. P. Hayes then spoke. Among other things he said he felt that the meeting was an important one, as all the work would have to be done over if the park bill did not get .through the next congress. He also said that it is necessary for Knoxville to work with Ashevilie in this matter, as they wished to interest the towns of Tennessee as much as the eastern and southern towns were interested, "for-if the towns take the proper interest," said he, "we can have the convention with little trouble." . J. A. Niehols stated that it was very important to have the convention, and that he was pleased at the interest shown 'by Knoxville. He said that it was very important to bring the mat ter to the attention of the congressmen, and that a committee ought to be ap pointed to push it. After some discussion about the ad visability of holding the convention in Ashevilie, it was found that most of the members thought this the best place- Mr. Raoul said that the board oughH to use every means to advertise the convention; that excursions ought to be run into Ashevilie for the occasion. One member suggested that free trans portation be given' some delegates. The chairman said that as the presi dent of the association, it was Mr. Hayes' place to say where the conven tion should be held. Mr. Hayes re fused to take the responsibility, but said, "Wherever it is held, it ought to be soon, not more than a month." The following motion of Mr. Jones was carried: ; "Whereas, the directors of the Ashe vilie board of trade in special session, called at the request of the Appalachian "National Park association and Mr. B. R. Strong, representing the Knoxville chamber of commerce, to consider the advisability of a convention being held in the interest of the park movement be it "Resolved, That it is the . sense of this meeting that such a convention should be held and that the Park as sociation be requested to hold said con vention at Ashevilie during the month of October." The meeting was then adjourned. LIEUTENANT PRITCHARD HOME ON LEAVE Has Been Stationed With Cavalry in Porto Rico. Lfieut: W. D. ritchard, who has for some time been on duty with a cavalry regiment in Porto Rico, is at home on a leave of absence, Lieut. Pritehard says that larger towns on the Porto Rican island will in a short while be filled' with visitors from the United States and elsewhere. Many prospect ors visit the island during the winter moths, but' few people stay during the summer season unless they have to. He thinks, however, that the climate is much more, agreeable than the Philip pines at any season of the year. Lieut. Pritehard spent the summer in Porto Rico. He says the climate is tol erable because the nights are cool. At the present ratio of progress, 70 years will 'elapse before Pompeii is en tirely uncovered.
