DHfNDING THE
U. S. NATIONAL. 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. Used about $3.00
worth of RAT-sNAP a year and fig

TIhe General Federation of Womep's
Clubs has taken up the cause and so
has the National Federation of Biusi
ness and Professional Women's
Clubs, Museums, universities, con
servation associations, forestry
schools, and a variety of other or
ganizations andl individuals are rally
in gto oppose this project for the in
dlustrialization of the national parks.
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. They are not en
thusiastic about preserving wild life
andl they (do not appreciate scenery.

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

"F0undamentially national parks are
nhtional museums. 'They have been
carefully chosen as examples of the
best there is in the original Ambri
can wilderness, not only for the en
joyment of the people of today but
especially to pass on to generations
of Americans of a period when else
where there will be no more of the
natural wild America to see, A quar
ter century from now our West will
be as fully developed as ous East is
today.
"The parks are the national mu

and Takes touched only by nature's

living natural lives in their ancestral
wilderness, undisturbed and unafraid.
"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."
