Albany, Feb. 2I.-Therc il no man WHO loves inc
Adirondack woods than James W. Husteu' Noo
a year has passed for quarter OF century during
which he has not visited them and enjoyed their
beauty and sporting privileges. Mr. Husteu may 10
said to have rccuperated yearly from the attrltion
Of busy legislative life by living for weeks in the
woods. The misty lakes in the southern part OF inc
Adirondack region especially liked by hm' bu1
he has wandered all il. and there are fe" aAeS
where fine trout be caught that he has not Vslu
To hear General Hnsted describe his catching big
front in Adirondack lake is to enjoy great
privilege When the general ends such narration
imagines trout Of whale like proportions Hop
ping the bottom Of an Adirondack boat.
II was to be expected. therefore that such lover
Of the Northern woods as General Hustled would be
ntrusted with bill especially drawn up to protect
those noble woods from destruction. This bill has
drawn up by the State Forestry Association and
was forwarded by Morris X. Jesup. its president to
General Hustled The bill deprves the present Board
Of Forestry Commissioners Of all control OF the
Adirondack forest lands and transfers the care OF
these lands to Board Of Commissioners Of i've per.
sons, to be known the Commissioners Of the
Adirondack Park. II is well known that those in
terested in protecting the woods nave 70. several
years past been dissatisfied with The present Forestry
Commissioners who did not seem to nave the energy
to obtain the consent Of the Legislature to the passing
Of laws for the protection Of the Adlron-
dack woods. The Commissioners consisted
Of lumberman, busy lawyer and gentleman Of
leisure who did not 10 have time, nevertheless, 10
push with any power the various measures drawn up
for the protection of the Adirondack woods. * for
the secretary Of the Commission, Mr.. Train, good
example given Of his appreciation ~ his duties
