HON WANTS PARK IN N. 0.
- Washington, D. C., Doc. tt~Sen
| atoiB and representatives in Oon
' gresi from North Carolina are
a great interest in the proposal to es
tablish in that state a new National
? park. Bitt they believe that eveiyer
| gankation in the atfita should get
to work, and that every individual of
forward-looking mind shoul^ do ell
! that ean.be done at oncv, and quick
ly, to see to it that the~mw national
park ia established in North Caro
lina and no tsome other state. "No
The\ recent vist to Washington of
the committee created by the legis
lature has had a good effeet in Wash
ington and ia apparently bearing
fruit, to judge from the remarks be
ing made. But Virginia, Tennessee,
and other states are actively organ
izing their campaigns to obtain the
pari: for their states, and senators
and representatives of North Caro
lina believe that the whole population
pf the state should get, behind the
efforts of the committee appointed by
the legislature, and that North Caro
linians, uTctp-ctivc of section or
community, should lend their heart
iest support to the committee, cmI ,
that they should otherwise interest
themselves, in aeeardanee with what
ever opportunity they have <or enti
create to see that the park is estab
lished in North Carolina.
The announcement made by Sen
ator Simmons a few daya ago, to the
effect 'that North Carolina yshoula
have the park, because the state is.
already equipped with a mognificent j
concrete highway system, because '
there is no other section of the coun
try east of the Rockies which can
crmparo in natural scenic grandeur
with that of North Carolina, and be
cause of accessibility, Has created in- 1
teicst among senators and repn out- \
atives, and a number of them are in- ;
quiring as to the > prospect suggested '
by Senates* Simmons that he will aid'
in organising a large group of ?
ors and representatives to visit t!
state to view hu tpr-postd dtes ei

Proliminai'v drafting of report i
of the committee; headed By Congrci; ;.i
man H. W. Temple, of Pennsylvania, ?
to recommend to the secretary d |
the interior a suitable site has begun
and it is oertain at this wfrlting that
the claims of North Carolina are to
'be very carefully considered and re
ported on.
