THE NATIONAL PARK INVESTMENT
? v ' ?.
If the area' on the Smokies and Balsams, in which it is
t i
contemplated to establish a national park, should be used
f..r lumbering operations, instead, the revenue to the
. Western North Carolina region would soon be exhausted.
The mountains would soon be a desert place, unlovely to
lh-hold, and bringing in not a cent to the commonwealth
i v its ]>eople. The lumbermen would, if left to their own
devisees, soon gut it and leave it. They would naturally
< perate it with a view of making the greatest, quick re
turns in cash to themselves.
On the other hand, if it shall become a National Park,
ii would immediately bring in handsome returns to the
I people of this region, by famishing labor, at fair wages,
to, tau|o numbers of people. v Not only that, but it would
W??ireVef-endi6? source jaf-fevente to all the people of
all fiaat Tennessee aftd lWlstefh. North Cafolinn. The
eash eoriiitfg n would ifccMnsfe every year,fand there would
be no diminishing of th^'j-aw material. < . \
Iu other words, the q iestion ic, shall the lumber people
use this urea, for a fev years, and leave it desolate, or
shall it remain the thing of beauty which the Creator
made it in the beginning? ,
If it iir sold as ltitabcr, it is S6on di^patcd, nnd gone
from us and our children forever. t
If it is sold as climate and beauty, the immediate re
turns will bo as great, and they will increase year by
year, as the popnlation of the eastern centers increases
and there will be no diminishing of these commodities.
This paper has never been in favor of putting too much
stress upon the tourist business, for the reason that we
have held to industrialism, and have feared that the great
industries of which our mountain region is susceptible
might be forgotten as we strove more and more for the
! tourist business. .*
But, the tourist business is fast becoming, has already
become one of the big businesses of the nation. If West
em North Carolina is to go in for it, and we tea no way
to save ourselves, then let's go in on a big scale. If we
can get established a great National Park in the Smoky
Mountain area, we will have done a service for which all
future generations will bless ouy names, and will, at the
same time, have done something that will make this
mountain region swann with people for many months in
the year. 0* , , ?' x|
( The Florida boom will be insignificant as compared to
the Western North Carolina boom. Heal estate values will
multiply thrtnsclves faster than we can countyjiu every
j town and county. . /
j Every town and city will take on new life and new
growth. Hotels will spring up over night at all the towns
and country places surrounding the park, and Western
North Carolina will begin to come into her own, with the
coming of the hundreds of thousand; that will swarm here
every year, o '
It is too great an opportunity to let slip. Wake up,
Western North Carolina, Wake up to the great thing that
eanuiappen in our mountains.
