APPEAL TO SAVE CANYON.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune:
Sir: Allow me TO protest, through the columns OF
your valuable paper against the destruction OF
the wonderful canyon Of the Hetch Hetch Valley,
Cal The valley has been reserved as natural
park but this strangely enough does not protect
II. Some persons propose turning the canyon with
its marvellous grandeur and beauty. into the bed
Of q huge lake for the water supply OF San Fran
cisco. This would OF course, destroy 1t utterly
simply wipe out OF the most wonderful places
in the world.
The statement is made that there are other
places Just as available : a reservoir for San
Francisco. Now, this canyon is a piece OF national
property. and reserved for preservation. II
this be destroyed what hope We have for the
preservation OF other reservations and natural
wonders? Cannot something be done TO stop this
vandalism? Win not every lover Of natural beauty
utter a vigorous protest? /. f. MASON.
