the rest Of the people of country feel that

served for ourselves and coming generations OF
children. and We respectfully petition the United
States government take action toward
establishing a national forest OF TedUOods
Government foresters who acquainted with
this section OF California say the chdfen give good
req sons for the establishment of the national park.
II has been only a few years since the redwood
trees stood thick the land around the larger
towns Of Humboldt County. but now all the readily
accessible timber has been removed. Little IL any
redwood suitable for national park has not fallen
into private hands. The acquisition of such areas
therefore would have to be brought about through
