Washington, D. Apgpst 87.?
Before the year's outing season 1b
over nearly half a million persons
will have sought recreation aud
j health In the National Forests of the
United States. According to the rec
ord of the U. 8. Department of Agri
culture, the total last year was, In
eloae figures 406.775. With the fin
est mountain scenery and much of
th* best fishing and big game hunt
ing In the United States, the Nation
al Forests, made more and more ac
cessible each year through protec
tion and development by the Govern
ment, are Cast becoming great Na
tional playgrounds for the people.
The use of the forests for recroa
tlon is as yet in its beginning, but is
I growing steadily and rapidly?in
soma of the forests at the rate of a
hundred per cent per annum. The
day eems not far distant when a mil
lion persons will annually visit them.
The recprds show that the season
al use of the forests runs from two
months In a Colorada forest, such as
the Routt, t twelve months In an
Alaskan, such an the TongasB. But
the uses differ. In Colorado the 2.
000 visitors entered the forest to
fish, to camp, to climb, and to drink
the medicinal waters: in Alaska the
l.')00 almost solely to hunt and fish.
|The 21,000 persons who went into
the Coconino forest, Arizona,1" during
ulue months, went to camp or to
| enjoy the scenery. During four
months 50,000 persons visited the
Angeles. California. The most, pop
ular of the forests is the Pike, con
taining the famous peak of that
name. The various attractions with,
in its limits, including the scenic
railway, drew 100,000 tourists and
others. By jiripclpa.l States th? Na
jtiorial forest visitors numbered 23,
000 in Arizona, 103.000 in Califor
nia, 140,000 in Colorado ,19.000 in
Montana, 10,000 in New Mexico.
35,000 in Oregon. 22,000 ]n Idaho.
16,000 in Utah, and 12,000 in Wash
ington.
Of the natural wonders and land
marks of interest In the National for
ests several have been set apart as
National Mounments. among them
Cinder Cone, a great lava basin In
ICalifornia; the Gila Cliff Dwellings,
extensive remains of a pre-hlstorlc
race In New Mexico; the unsuhpass
led Grand Canyon of the Colorado. In
Arizona; Jewel Cave. South Dakota; I
lessen Peak, the terminus of a line
of entinct volcanoes In the Cascades:
the Pinnacles, a collection of re
markable Jagged peaks in California;
land the Tonto, a group of prehistoric
'rujns In the Tonto foreBt In Arizona.
The Big Trees, Glacier Park, the
Petrified forest, the Oregon cave*,
and numerous other phenoment all
serven to attract other hosts of vla
lltora. '
The sportsmen find their paradise
in tho National forests. In many of
them big game abounds. The rangers
and the guards, besides the service
they perform against tho spread of
fire, often point out the best site for
the camper and the easiest route.
A record of 9.218 miles or trail cut.
1.236 miles of road laid out, and
4.851 miles of telephone line strung
tells what the Government, has done
In the way of pushing the conven
iences of civilisation into the prime
val forest. The day of the wilderness
of the savage and the pioneer is now
swiftly passing; the da^ of the Na
tional Forests as productive resour
ces and as National parks approaches',
The report of laat year's administra
tion by the U. 8. Department of Ag
riculture evidences the rapidity of
the transformation.
