MOUNT MITCHELL TO BE MADE NATIONAL FOREST Mount Mitchell National Forest, lit tin* very heart of tho Southern Appu- ' luchlnn Mountains, one *?f tin- most beautiful and picturesque spots in t bt* Western World, Im to bo o|'h*ium1 to (ho people for camping and recreational pur|M>s??s. In lovel I in'ss ?f scenery, in salubrity of climate, In wonders of natural resources ami In accessibility of location It will bo tin* most wonder fill park in America. In protootlon of tho superb prlmoval forests and tho vast natural water sources, tho Government acquired tho aroa of tho rosorvo. After maturo con sldoratlon, It was decided to convert It Into a recreation park a magnificent playground for tho i>ooplo of tho entire country. In conformity with this plan, tho Forest Service and tho Southern Hall way are preparing literature and maps descriptive of the reserve to jilaee at the disposal of those who may desire l>ormaueiitly or temporarily to locale within the park. It is the puriKwo of , the Government to place within tho j peach of all either locations for cot* tagcs or sites tor camps. Here they may si>eml all or any part oi the year in an environment unsurpassed In l>eauty and healthfulnesH. A went letter written by Mr. II. i S. Graves, Chief Forester of the Unit ed States, to Mr. W. H. Tayloe, Pas senger Tratilc Manager of the Sou thern Hallway, outlines the plans which the Government will make ef fective In the Mount Mitchell National 1 a,?am very much interested," writes Mr. Grave*, "in the development of the Appalachian national forests for recreational purposes. The enjoyment by the public of the national forests for all sorts of out-door recreation is recognized as on? of' their lmi>ortnnt uses, and ample regulations exist for the purpose of facilitating this use to the fullest extent. The roads and trails built primarily for the purpose, of administration and protection are open to all who Tleslre to tramp or ride through the national forest, and the only restrictions existing are that travelers observe the ordinary pre cautions against the burning of Woods or the destruction or injury of timber or other property. ? s "Free permits may be obtained for temporary camping purposes and it is required only that necessary precau tions may be taken in building and ex tinguishing the campflre, and that the cutting of green timber be avoided and that the grounds be kept iu clean and sanitary condition. "The most important problem in connection with the recreation develop ment of the Appalachian national for ests is to provide means for bringing - the opportunities offered to the atten tion of the public, and making it easy for jjoople who are interested in camp ing or in building permanent summer homos to find the exact locations which will best suit their needs. . In bring ing this about the Southern Halb way can, I am confident, bo of great assistance through the facilities offer ed btf ,4,Jie " organization for the dis semination of detailed information con cerning the recreation attractions of the country tributary to its lines Chief Forester Graves has authorized the District Forester to prepare maps and rej>orts upon the Mount Mitchell National Park which will disclose in detail its recreational features and ex plain to the public the opportunities afforded. The maps will indicate the | main routes of travel, those parts of the tract of special interest from a " scenic or' other recreational viewpoint, and the localities which have special advantages either for temporary camp ing purposes or for permanent cot tage sites. . It is explained by Mr. Graves that "for camps of a permanant nature, or for summer cottages, permit* will be required and charges are fixed in ac cordance with the exclusive privileges thus granted." The charges, however, are substantially negligible. As fur ? ther explained by Mr. Graves, the primary object of the term permits is not to secure a revenue, but to pro mote the use of the National forest lands for recreation purposes. The an nual charge for summer-house thermits is not less than $10.00. The rates for revocable permits for summer homes may be as low as $5.00 per. annum. Temporary camp sites, of course, are free In the Mount Mitchell National Park campers may live a delightfully csro ftee lire, in ideally beautiful and healthful surroundings, at practically no expense except their subsistence Thus the opening of the park will af ford to thousands of people, who other wise might not be able to avail them selves of such advantages, all of the .real pleasures and profits of an ex iiensive summer outing. ' Mount Mitchell, from which the park takes its name is one of the grandest ttphoavlls on the Western Hemisphere. Its summit is lifted 6.711 feet into a sky of deepest azure. It irr the loftiest peak in Eastern North America. _FVyL ages it has stood in primeval solitude and solemn grandeur, while above and around and beneath, the clouds have swept and storms have raved. From its top is disclosed a pan orama of scenery of surpassing beauty. Below, Nature has riven great gorges and btiilt everlasting cllfTs ; and the neighboring pefiks of the Black Moun tains, 'many of them ranging above six thousand feet and clad in the dark, rich green of the balsam, rank worthi ly with the giant Mitchell. Across the marvelous Asheville Plateau, of an average altitude of 2,200 feet, is the summit of the Blue Ridge, where such wonderful peaks as the Dome, the Pinnacle and the Bull's Head toss their tops into the sky, and, in the purpling distance, are such mountain wonders as Table Rock, Roan, Grandfather, Tenneasee Bald, Plagah and acorea of others, which . "Loom grander far than any In the opening to the people of the Mount Mitchell National Forest the Government h&i conferred *o greater blessing npon the nature lovers of the United States, and it la expected by the Forest Service, in cooperation With the Southern Railway* to make it one of the moat convenient and de lightful pleaaure resorts in the World.

These figures show conclusively that the great majority of these lives use lessly sacrificed were of useful citi zens, they were equally divided be tween (he races, men greatly predom inated, and there was a wide distri bution as to the age and occupation. During the year 1914 on all the rail ways of the United States, 4,740 trespasers were killed, 820 lost one limb, 172 lost two limbs, and 5, (>41 suffered other Injuries. " J. M.
