PARKS Great Issue to Be Carried Into Next .Congress Question Whether In dustry in Form of Water Power and Irrigation shall Invade Parks Washington, Dec. 4.-A great bat tle of words, growving out of last session's legislation anid to be car riedl into the chambers and commit tee rooms of congress at the coming session, is now being fought to dec cidie the question whether industry, in the form of watew power and ir rigation projects, shall be allowed to invade the national parks of the West, or whether these shall be kept as the unspoiled bits of wild nature wvhich they now are. At the last session the anti-nation al park forces, in a surprise attack, tremendously dlentedI conservation's center by getting'national parks in serted in the water power act, and narrowly missed a sweeping victory in a last minute dlefense stand on irrigation as exciting as U.oratio's historic feat at the bridge. The national park forces, mighty glad of a chance to recuperate, are now sounding the loud call to arms 'far and wide. They announce their epurpose, at the next, session, not only to straighten out that big dent in their center andl recover all the ground lost on both wings, but to dIig in so deep, and weave the wvire entanglements so thickly, that their boundaries will be uncrossable for ever more. Meantime, the anti-national park forces are bringing up big guns to dlefendl their water power victory, and assembling their irrigation armies under able and experienced generals -"The Farmer's Worts Enemy-Rats. The Farmer's Best Friend Rat-snap." These are the wordls of James Bax ter, N. J.: "Ever since I tried RAT.. sN'AP I have always kept It in the house. Never fails.

The object of this formidable cam paign is to put the issue once and for all clearly before the public. 'tre the national parks to be kept un spoiled, or are they to be subjected to a slowv process of disintegration? Would Benefit Few People It is not that there Is any wvide spread dlemand for the industrial utilization of the parks. The dlemandi comes from just a few people living near them. Nor is there anything sinister or ruthless about the mo tives of these people. They are far mers andl ranchmen who have lived all their lives in the great West, and who therefore have little apprecia tion of its science and historical value, or of the great changes which are affecting it. .They see certain bodies of-water in the parks wvhich they could conveniently use andl they want to use them.

Have Been Waiting For. S M.C in congress. Also they are eagerly negotiating wvith all possible allies. TIo Damn the Yellowstone Yet tho' in medliate issues of the struggle are comparatively small. A little group of farmers, mostly Mor mons ,living in Idlaho, southwest of Yellowstone Park, want to put a dlam in the F'alls River basin of the Park ,so that they may use the wvat ers for irrigation. Another much larger group of individuals living in the vicinity of Livingstone, Montana, north of the park, want to damn up the outlet of Yellowstone lake, so as to control the waters of the Yellow stone rive-r for' irrjgation purposes. Each of the prdjects would benefit only the peole of a local community, and each of them, say the opponents of the projecti:, is unnecessar-y, in that the same results can be accom plished without invading the parks. The benefits would be local, argue these opjponents, but the dIamzage done would be natiinal in character. To dam up the \vaters of the Yellow stone lake means to flood thousands of acres of beautiful wilderness; it means to intr-oduce a new adminis trative force into the confines of the park. Likewise, tp (dam the waters of the Falls River basin wduld be to ruin one of the best winter elk ranges in the park system, and one of the two strongholds of the moose in the West; also to spoil one of the fineet camping regionis just at a time when Yellowstone patronage is leaping in immense b~oundls. But this immediate (damage which would be done to the national treas-. ur-c of the par-ks, is not nearly so important as the precedent wvhich would b~e established. If indlustry is once allowecd to invadle the parks, there will he no end to the invasion. If either of these twvo projects is al lowedl ,there will be dozens of pro jects in a few years. Ever since the parks and national forests were created, there has been a ateadly, consistent effort on the part of cer-tain fuiter-ests in the West to break them up, reduce them in size or failing in that, to invade then for industrial p)urposes. Congr-ess has steadily Asisted that attempt. In half a century a hundred bills In imical to the parks have been defeat edl. But little has been heardc of this struggle by the general iPublic.. Robert tetrling Yard of the Na tional Parks association is dletermin edl that much shall, be heardc of the p' resent attemipt. Hie has enlisted on Issidle of the fight some of the strongest nerlOd(eia sin the ontr. frenzied animals dashed across the park boundary to escape a blizzard. The motives of these people are no more sinister or mysterious than those of a child who sees a pot of *am on the shelf and reaches out his innd for it. Nor do they represent a much more formidable force in the, nation than a child (oes in a family. The danger of the situation lies in the fact that their demands may be complied with simply because the rest of the nation is uninformed or in different. Those who have seen and visited the parks, who know their charm as recreation grounds, their wonderful charactor as bits of wild America saved froriy civilization, are one and all staunch defenders of the parks. But although more and more Americans are visiting the parks every day, the total of those who have done so is not yet large. To most Americans they are only a name. To make them more than a giamc, to impress upon every American their value to the nation as a whole, and so to make them safe from indus trial invasion for all time, is the larger object of the present cam paign. Great Public Playgrounds "A popurar misconception concern ing the real purpose of national parks is partly responsible for the consid eration given to attacks like these." saiq Mr. Yard. "The convenient de signation of play groinds, first giv en them figuratively, has not only. come into universal use during re cent years but actually Ixns clouded the reason for national parks exist ing at all. The national forests also are magnificient lafai. grdil~s, and there ate 3q stine. as much 'of them as of zJa 'ital " ks. * The public landq In i9ally. r4 pIy g1r'Qmde, So are city parks. "F0undamentially national parks are nhtional museums.

"As national museums, the national parks are a wonderful possession to day and a priceless gift to our chil dren. This, was the purpose for which our fathers created the first park, Yellowstone, half a century ago, and for wbich tre rest have been created and eonserved till now. "This nation can afford her national museums of America. Think of it. They constitute less tljan one 62nd part of the public lands still re.. maining open for irrigation and Ipow er development. And less than 10 per cent of the water possibilities of these public lands are in use." 0 M'DOWELL RETURNS FROAI ARMY SERVICE York, Dec. 1.-People throughout western York will be -gratified to learn that Dr. James D. McDowell, who for more than two years has been a member of the medical corps of the United States army with the rank of major and for the past three months a patient in Fitzsimmons gen eral hospital near Denver, Colo., will return to York within a few weeks and resume the practice of his pro fession. When Di:. McDowell offered his services to the government in the summer of 1918 he was assigned duty at Oteen hospital, near Asheville, N. C., on accounts of his knowledge of tuberculo is, a disease of which he0 hqnd made a special study and, Jin ihich branch o fniedicine ho was rec ognized as an expert.
