Wild Isle to- Be
T.R. Memorial
Will Be Ready for Limited
Use Next Summer; Bar
Autos From Park.

welt island formerly Analostan is
landD in the Potomac river will be
ready for limited use by the pub
lie some time next summer, off,
Gals of the national park service
say. This wilderness island, with
in mile of the White House, will
take its place this year among the
worlds most distinctive memorials,
the Associated Press says.
The 75-acre forest island, close to
the heart of a teeming modern capt.
tai but with its sylvan solitude &C.
cessible solely by boat, is con-
sidered particularly suitable
memorial to Theodore Roosevelt,
who was an ardent woodsman and
naturalist.
The island is a sort Of gateway
to the territory along the Potomac
where President T. R. took his ia
vorite hikes. 1t lies between the
Francis Scott Key bridge and the
Memorial bridge and is directly op-
posite the mouth of Rock Creek.
Plan Memorial Plaque.
A simple Roosevelt memorial
plaque will be placed on wooded
plateau at the southern end Of the
island.
This plateau affords fine views Of
the Lincoln Memorial, Washington
Monument and Arlington national
cemetery with its tomb of the I'm
known Soldier and the Robert E.
Lee mansion.
A ferry will take visitors to the
southern shore Of the island. On
the northern share there will be a
dock for canoes and small boats.
No automobiles or other vehicles
will be allowed on the island. There
will be several simple footballs
through the forest, picnic grove
and rustic shelter for use by visi-
tors in the event of sudden storm.
Analostan island was purchased
by the Theodore Roosevelt Memo
rial association for 1854, 900 and pre-
scented to the nation in 1882.
The plan for its development as a
primeval forest was made by Fred
erick Law Olmstead, landscape ar
chitect of Brookline, Mass. For
some years the national park serv-
ice and the national capital park
and planning commission have been
developing the island under Ohm
stead's general direction, planting
upwards Of 10000 trees and shrubs.
Has Romantic History.
Analostan island has a romantic
history. 1t was inhabited by a small
tribe of Indians in the 18th century
when King Charles II granted a
charter to Lord Baltimore giving
him domain over the province Of
Maryland.
The island became a part Of the
District of Columbia when Mary
land coded acreage for the forraa-
ton of the district.
In TIT it came into the posses
sion of George Mason. father of
George Mason of Gunston Hall,
signer of the Declaration of indie
pendence and the author of the ia
nous Bill Of Rights.
The latter willed the island to his
son, Gen. John Mason, who built a
brick manor house on it for a sum-
mer residence.
The Mason manor house was de-
stroyed by fire during the Civil war.
After the Civil war, the island
was used as pleasure resort where
picnics, fairs and fitting tourna-
ments were held.
For about IS years before the
park service started its redevelop-
ment work, the island was undis-
turbed. 1t returned to a wild state
Of brambles and timber.
