consideration as being practically al
annex OF West Point. ON which it lives
and as being automatically exempted
30 TO speak. from the provisions Of tn
forest reserve law.
1t is along this river bank section tina
there passes the one modern highway
In the reservation. the splendid new Stat
road now nearing completion. which rum
northward from Stony Point to Yves
Point and may eventually be EXTENDED
around the fronts Of Gro Neat and Storm
King to Cornwall. 1t will be much uset
and for the first time whom the tide o.
travel sets 10 to the Highlands during tn,
celebration days this fall. All along itl
course to West Point. with one exception
the traveller will gaze on State protected
forests.
There ia one other line OF work relat-
ing to the preservation Of tho beauties
OF the Hudson which y more purely
aesthetic in its nature than this work OF
forest protection. yet which has also its
u~tilitarfan side. This IL tho preservation
OF some Of the notable scenic features.
The Palisade formation has recently
been brought under State protection
for nearly its entire len 9Th. although the
quar1des still pound away upon Hook
Mountain. This year an effort was made
TO extend similar State protection over
the river banks OF the Highlands, but
although tho Assembly passed in a re-
stricted form the bill embodying this
idea it did not become a law.
With the exception Of two great dangers
IN thto htuhlu ri1f,traanra aazAia,, IL 1900.
be said that the outlook for the security
OF the Highlands scenery is favorable.
Successive efforts Of the past to turn
Constitution Island. the most notable
landmark OF the actual river shores, into
a quarry. a vitriol factory site and an
excursion resort failed because Miss
Anna Warner held the land intact for
West Point. into whose keeping 1t has
now passed as the joint gift Of Miss War
ner and Mrs. Russell Sage.
West Point itself. together with~its
Popolopen holdings. assures the pro-
lection OF several miles not only Of river
shore but Of wooded upland scenery, and
the naval branch Of the service occupies
Iona Island. The quarries at Breakneck
and Round Island are out Of business,
and so are the only two manufacturing
establishments which existed In the
Highlands-an iron foundry and a chemi-
Gal works. Thousands Of acres along the
river banks are tealously guarded by
private Interests which desire to see
this section kept sweet and clean. =
The first serious invasion Of the High
lands became apparent last spring. Along
the edge Of the great ciins which mark
the southern side Of Storm King Is q long
but very narrow strip OF property which
no n thought was OF any use. This
has been acquired by a quarry company,
which has cleared away a noble tract
woods. erected a great, eaunt stone
and carried an ugly runway across
cove behind the railway tracks to q
pier which has been built outside tho
right Of way.

United States naval reservation on Iont
Island.
They are what are known as hardwood
forests, and the commonest trees are
chestnuts and two species of oak. There
are many large areas covered almost
entirely with chestnut trees. They vary
In size and age in nearly all parts OF the
reservation from the new sprout growth
following the operations Of the cordwoot
cutters to trees Of an average age Of from
10 to 20 years. There are individual trees
200 years old, and the writer knows Of a,
least n tree that may have stood when
Hudson came up the river. A few tracts
Of virgin forest still exist.
The great charm Of these forests lies
In the unbroken expenses which invest
them with much Of the mystery Of the
wilderness. This continuity OF growth
distinguishes them from the often heavier
growth Of isolated groves and marks
them as true forests. They are wild.
primitive and unoultivated, yet they are
easily reached from New York.
At a certain railroad station within an
hours journey from tho city you may
step from the train to a road which will
lead youlalmost directly into the woods
and within q few minutes you may enter
q leaf covered trail which, marks the
southern boundary Of the forest reserva-
tion-is2 years ago a rough military road
over which at n part, nearly overgrown
to-day. Sir Henry Clinton led the British
troops to attack Fort Montgomery.
An offshoot Of this trail will take the
traveller to the summit Of the limp, a
lofty rock which marks the precipitous
western edge OF the Dunderberg forma-
ton and offers a wonderful mountain
view. Southwark for miles stretches the
Hudson, with the cultivated fields of
Westohester beyond. but to the southwest
are seen the uplifts Of the Highland hills,
completely forest covered and wild in
the extreme.
A still more characteristic view of the
Highland forests is that from Bear Noun
tain. north OF the limp, where the western
outlook reveals the wild interior behind
the river hills. This wooded hinterland
is almost practically unknown to those
who are acquainted with the Highlands
OF the Hudson as they see them from the
river steamer.
Pernaps no otner point OF view gives q
better idea OF the well wooded character
and extent OF the region. for from Bear
Mountain you see spread out a densely
wooded mountain country stretching as
far as the eye an see, Not many city
men will look on this prospect for some
years TO come. for there is no beaten path
up Bear Mountain. which Is one Of the
widest as we'll az one OF the most inter-
esting In the Highlands.
II truly 70 understand the significance
and larger beauty Of the wilderness you
must stand ON the mountain tops and
look over the expanse Of the forests,
to know them most intimately you must
walk beneath their shade. You will find
there Ia no exaggeraton In the state
as to their wide extent.

1t has been pointed out also that tn,

The new law in no way prevents develop
ment along such lines should the eIpan,
sion OF New York ever make II desirable
The greater part OF the Highlands mus'
ever remain under forest cover owing Ia
Its wild. rough topography.
Some OF this land will OF course pass
into the hands Of the State; how much
depends on future appropriations OF the
Legislature. Commissioner James s.
Whipple OF the Forest. Fish and Game
Commission In his last report said that II
would he mot only Wise but patriotic IL
legislation should arrange for the purchase
OF low priced land. some at least OF which
has but little value because OF recent de-
nuding. This land could be replsnted by
the State. Legislation could provide for
the future cutting OF timber there under
the direction Of the sos sstry bureau, the
historic place could be rescued from its
present condition and q very desirable
public work be done.
Without waiting to acquire any great
amount Of land the commission will prob
ably establish Don a tree nursery simi-

CATION Of Seeding trees and their sale

Commissioner Whipple even advocates
the free distribution Of such trees, as is
done in other States. The great weak
ness Of the present Highland forests IL
that they are almost entirely Of sprout
growth, injudicious cutting and annual
ground fires having rendered Seeding
reproduction almost impossible. They
are Of wide extent and beautiful as a
whole, but they need new blood.
