Long Valley advocate. (Lardo, Idaho) 1904-1907, 1905-02-02
WHY NOT IDAHoq

A couple of weeks ago, we advo-
Gated converting the state timber
lands about the Payette lake into
a State Park. The Boise States
man took the matter up in a fine
editorial, which we republish in
another column this issue.
Other states have state parks
which have cost large sums of
money for the first cost of the land,
and this land had to be made into
parks afterwards by planting trees,
etc. Here we have a park already
made, only waiting to be set aside
for that purpose. New York has
it's state park, the Niagara, and is
contemplating another in the Adj
rondack mountains. California
only recently appropriated $3.50, 600
to purchase mountain strip for a
state park. Minnesota has beau
tiful state park, the Itasca. Other
states besides those we have men
toned have state parks but we are
not certain which states.
Here there is no necessity to
purchase the land, the state already
owns it. In its natural condition
it is a choice place, possessing seen
ic and climatic attractions that
make it exceedingly desirable for
such a purpose. But if this land
passes into the hands of men who
would remove the timber the chief
point of beauty would be destroyed,
and could never again be restored
TO It's original lOvl1ness. What a
desolate spectacle would be pres
ented here were the timber removed
and the big hills with their masses
OF rock and boulders left exposed
in all their naked ugliness, it would
be like converting an Eden into
Kalahari desert, and the very
thought of such ruthless destruction
makes one feel depressed. The
lake itself would be robbed of half
it's beauty and would never attain
under such conditions the high
degree of excellence as a public
resort it now enjoys with its natural
surroundings; deprived of the mag
nifcent growth of trees along its
shores, the lake could be hkened
unto cut gem of the purest water
Long Valley advocate. (Lardo, Idaho) 1904-1907, 1905-02-02

how different the same gem ap-
pears set in dressed, polished gold.
The cutting of the timber around
these lakes will diminish the water
supply, as we pointed out in a for
mer article, by drying up springs
that feed the lake and by increasing
evaporation. This alone should
appeal to the people of the Boise
and Payette valleys to make an
effort to save the timber, for they
want the Payette lake as a reser-
voir in connection with their big
irrigation schemes.
From a business viewpoint we
believe it would be more profitable
to the state to set aside it's lands
here as a park than it would be to
SELL the timber. The saving effects
on the water supply alone by the
preservation of the timber will be
worth more to the state in the
future than can be readily comput-
ed now, in comparison with which
the amount derived from the sale
of the timber is not worth consid-
ering, and the state would have
park that it could be Justly proud
of which would give pleasure to
many thousands of people and be
sought by many from beyond the
borders of our own state.
Exactly what procedure is ne
cessary to create state park we
don't know, but it has been done
In other states, and we believe it
would be very wise policy to do it
here before the state timber referred
to is sold.
Utah evidently is looking after
its state parks, or lands that it may
acquire for that purpose, as bill
has been introduced into the legis-
lature of that state, as follows:
"Austin introduced H. B. No. SO.
An act creating a state board of
park commissioners, providing the
manner OF their appointment, fix
ing their compensation, prescribing
their powers and duties, making an
annual appropriation and fixing
penalties for violation of this act
"The bill provides that the board
shall consist of the governor and
four members to be appointed by
the governor, by and with the con-
sent of the senate. The governor
shall be president and the board |
shall elect one of its members sec
rotary. Each member shall hold |
office for term of four years, and
the board shall manage and control |
any and all lands the state NAV
acquire for public parks. The act
makes it misdemeanor for anv

the establishing of park surround
ing Payette lake. The idea is one
that has received considerable at
tention in the past and it is timely
to renew it at this time.
Such a park would be of ines
Unable value to the state. The
lake is one of the favorite resorts of
the west and it will rise in favor
rapidly after it shall have been
given railway connection with the
outside world. Hundreds go there
in the summer, travelling long dis
tances by team, and the number of
those who will take advantage of
the opportunity to camp in that
delightful locality during the hot
season will continually increase.
After the place shall have been
given rail connection, it will be-
come one of the famed resorts of
the continent.
The popularity of the lake arises
from a number of natural advan-
tages. 1t is set amid beautiful
mountain surroundings at a great
altitude; it is of great size; it is
filled with fish; the temperature
there is delightful throughout the
summer; there are trout streams in
abundance in the surrounding hills;
opportunities for mountain climb
ing lie on every hand; those who
wish to make a plunge into the
wilderness can do so in a few
hours travel; along the shores of
the lake are great forests that add
to the beauty of the scene and to
the advantages of the place as a
resort.
The state owns very large pro-
portion of the timber land. and.
If it can be done, it would be wise
to hold this land as a park, as sug-
gested by the Long Valley paper.
How that could be ACCOMPLISHED
The Statesman does not know. but
1T is satisfied that, if it be not done
the people of the state will regret |
1t In future years. The present |
generation would take delight in
the park if it were preserved as
nature has formed it, while the
generations of the future would
bless those who had saved it intact
Tor their enjoyment.
The subject is one which the
legislature could very proftably |
AXE up, and The Statesman hopes
