MORE NATIONAL FORESTS,
White Mountains and S0uther1
1ppalachians To Be Preserved.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington Jan. 3.-The first practical prog
ress toward the establishment of great national
forests to preserve the Southern Appalachian
and White Mountain watersheds from destruc-
ton has just been announced by the Secretary
of Agriculture, who under orders of the last
Congress. has completed a thorough investiga-
ton of the two great Atlantic Coast park PROT
ects ana has now submitted to the present Con-
gress estimates of their cost which, it appears,
will be comparatively insignificant, considering
the vast gain which will accrue to the whole
country With the White Mountain forests the
readers of The Tribune are already farnlllar'
but hitherto the Appalachian region has been
little known The timber lands of the White
Mountains are in the main held by few large
companies, nearly all of whom are engaged IN
cutting extensively on the spruce stands for
pulp or lumber manufacture, and the govern
ment cannot hope to purchase in those noun
tains more than small areas Of virgin timber
surrounding points of special scenic interest
Much larger areas in the South. where all the
land is cheap and where the rivers viii be
ruined unless great tracts around their head
waters are preserved. will have to be taken inl-
mediately by the national government.
Secretary Wilson and the National Forester,
Clifford Pinchot concur in the recommendation
that about five million acres should be pur-
chased in the Southern Appalachian region to
rivers: Potomac, james, Roanoke Yadkin, Ca
tawba, Broad Sauda. Savannah Chattahoochee,
Coosa Tennessee, New, Cumberland, Kentucky
and MonongaheIa. They fix the limit Of average
price at 50 30 acre and ask for an appropria-
ton of $3.pO00O, 10 be made Immediately
available to begin the purchases. For the White
Mountains they recommend the acquisition of
not more than six hundred and sixty thousand
acres, to embrace much possible of the
Presidential, FranConia, Sandwich and Carter
Moriah Mountain ranges, limiting the average
price TO $6 acre for cut over lands, and ask
for an appropriat ton of 81 $50 900 for immediate
use, with additional $4,000 to buy small
tracts of especial scenic value aggregating not
more than five thousand
National forests. says Secretary Wilson, in
his letter TO Congress- will mean the develop
ment of the Southern Appalachian and White
Mountain regions beyond any point which would
be possible without them.
Much of the Appalachian forest has been so
damaged that years will be required for it to
reach again high state of prOductiveness. IN

wood timber. The longer the delay in putting
this forest under control the longer continued

twenty rest houses or stations in the great pre-
serve that must be kept in supplies. These sta
tons maintained for the comfort Of the
patrolmen or keepers. They are simple "shacks'
or cabins, fitted with hunks, a stove, cooking
utensils and a grub box" in which are stored
bacon, flour, coffee and dried fruit. These rest
houses are used by the patrol, since
they placed that anybody on duty may
be able TO reach one of them and stay for the
night, no matter in what part of the park he
may be at the time
The grub box" of each of these cabins must
be kept filed, of course, and to carry supplies
from Fort Yellowstone-the headQuarters-tO
each Of the 'shacks' is part of the work of
the novices. The men who have successfully
taken the rough course of ski running and
jumping on Capitol Hill are laden each with
from forty to sixty pounds Of provisions in
pack and sent out to supply the grub boxes"
And so they set out, only to learn that while
it is uncomfortable enough to trip on a ski
down Capitol Hill, it is much more disagree
able to trip and fall with fifty pounds of pro-
visions to help drive ones head into a snow
bank
The men on this duty are game. Otherwise
they would not be in the army. Hence they
pass through this stage of their development
and soon are fit for the work of watching for
poachers. Such labor is the reason for the ski
detail. It means plodding up hills and over
plains, sliding down inclines and keeping an
eye open for unexpected crevasses and canyons.
1t means all night tramps over the faky snow
when the thermometer is lowering about 80 or
40 below zero. And it means danger not only
from the guns Of the poachers, but from the
very temperature. One of the results Of this is
exemplifed in a picture published herewith-a
photograph Of a ski runner brought back to the
post on his own skis. He was frozen to death
while doing night patrol duty.
Hardly winter passes without some such
fatal occurrence, but the men spend no time
in rejecting 1t. And so the teaching Of the
neophytes-it would be hardly fair TO call them
the awkward squad-goes on merriy every year
at about this time on Capitol Hill. The candi-
dates for patrol duty swing down, shouting and
