70 SAVE HUDSON SCENERY.
National Park May Be Created to
Take In Historic Places.

New York.-A movement has been
started here to preserve the most pic
turesque of the Hudson river scenery
by the creation of a national park.
The section which it is sought to in
clude is that known as the Highlands
of the Hudson and takes in the fa-
nous mountains, Storm King, Crows
Nest and Dunderberg.
The reasons for making this ma
tional enterprise are that West Point
and Iona island, with the large reser-
Vations controlled by the government,
lie within the boundaries of the pro
posed park and that 1t is a region
which teens with historic interest
and revolutionary memories.
A number of the wealthy and infiu-
entail summer residents Of the terri
tory, which takes in the estates of J,
Perpont Morgan, James Stillman
Stuyyesant Fish and other million
aires, have interested themselves in
the project and it has been brought to
the attention of President Roosevelt,
who has given II his approval. If the
park is created it will put an end to
all possibility of defacing what many
writer's and travellers have declared
to be the most attractive river
scenery in the world. In the case OF
the Palisades, farther down the river,
the spoliation had progressed SO far
rs to injure their beauty before the
state interyened to prevent their de.
gtruction.

AGED MAN A WEIGHT.LlFTER.
Fitzpatrick, a Modern Samson, Has
Never Had His Hair Cut.

Maple Falls, Wash.-The sporting
young men Of Maple Falls are trying
to get up match for strong men, and
they want to back John Fitzpatrick, Of
this place, against all comers,
Fitzpatrick is rs years Of age and
can handle barrel of salt weighing
21O pounds with as much ease as he
would if 1t We're kit Of mackerel,
He plays with a 150-pound weight
tossing it up and catching it, and can
carry a good,sized man about with the
ease Of a woman carrying a baby One
Of the latest feats Of the old man was
at the Yakima county fair when on a
wager he picked up from the ground a
granite boulder which tipped the
scales at 450 pounds. He carried the
oblong stone 40 feet to a wagon and
placed it on the wagon unassisted,
Fitzpatrick thinks he is the strong,
est man living, and laughs when his
old age is referred to- He argues that
any man can be powerful and health
full If the hair be permitted 70 grow.
He attributes his own great strength
and his health to early rising and the
fact that his hair has never been
shorn.
The old man says he would like to
challenge any man to feats of strength
providing he does not have to leave
his homestead for more than day as
he is trying to prove up on a 160,acre
tract he has settled on.
