The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-11-03

A movement has been started here to
preserve the most picturesque Of the
Hudson River scenery by the creation
Of a national park. The section which
it is sought to include is that known
as the highlands OF the Hudson and
takes in the famous mountains, Storm
King, Gro Nest and Dunderberg. The
reason advanced for making this a ma
tional enterprise is that West Point and
Iona Island with the large reservations
controlled by the government lie within
the boundaries Of the proposed park and
because it is a region that teens with
historic interest and Revolutionary
memories. A number OF the wealthy
and influential summer residents of the
territory in question, which takes in
the estates OF j. Pierpont Morgan, James
Stillman, Stuyyesant Fish and other
millionaires, have interested themselves
in the project and it has been called to
the attention OF President Roosevelt who
has given it his approval. If the park
is created it will put an end to all pos
sibility of defacing what many writers
and travellers have declared to be the
most attractive river scenery in the
world. In the case Of the Palisades,
lower down the riveE the spoliation had
progressed SO far al to greatly injure
their beauty before the state inter-
vened to prevent their total destruction.

downtown with no money in his clothes,
