In discussing these resolutions,
the corresponding secretary Of the
Game and Fish Protective associa-
tion of Josephine county, states that
they are practically the same as are
embodied in the recommendation OF
Robert B. Marshall, chief geographer
of the United States geological sur
vey in his report and recommended
tion for the establishment of the
Rocky Mountain Park.
In a splendidly written and thor
oughly illustrated article on the sub
ject of the Rocky Mountain park
which is published in the July, 1918
Review of Reviews, Mr.. Marshall
states as follows:
There is no predominant, com
manding, natural feature in Este:
park (meaning Rocky Mountain Ma
tional park such as found in Crater
Lake, the Yellowstone, or the Yos
emite, or along the Grand Canon o.
the Colorado"
Such would not be the case will
our national park, for we have {
predominant, commanding, natura
feature in the Oregon Caves, fea
ture that is bound to take its place
in the natural wonders of the world
and some day to come into sucl
prominence as will overshadow an,
features that the other parks ma.
boast Of.
On the recent trip in planting fisl
fry in Bolton lake and the stream
within the proposed national park
some very fine photographs were TAX
en- which show the extreme rugged
ness of the country, and in smal
way can give only an idea OF tn
many scenic beauties of this Pre-
posed park.
We believe the time is rapidly al

} will realize that it is absolutely nee
essary to the health of this natio
} that at least two months should b
spent in the open, and that as tim
J passes many more of these nations
Fairgrounds will be needed. Place
for camping out where one can g
to recuperate after the strenuous iii
OF the city are absolutely necessar.
and it is a duty of all right thinkin
people to work for this end, as II
B a humanitarian work.
D The feature of having this nj
Y tlonal game reserve, will also be (
e untold benefit of humankind, for
: a few years time the elk, the moos

d smaller four-footed game anima
d can gain such a ioothold that Il
y country surrounding this nation
