SECRETARY- .E1SIIER of tho Depnrtment of the In terior is the first of the cabinet officials to grasp the import anee of the national parks of the United States, by fathering a movement for the creation of a federal bureau of national parks. He fii-st suggested this ide?i at; tho national park conference of government officials hold last oiaouou PUTNAM, tailor nmi Manager September in the Yellowstone National park.

Reed Smoot has fathered a bill for tho creation of such a bureau, Tho nation is proud of its beauty spots and national wonderlands set aside for recreation purposes by tho gov ernment, but only a few of the more fortunate can see them. It is one of the objects of Mr. Fisher to exploit them and make them useful to all. The national parks are now administered without sys tem or uniformity, in a haphazard and slipshod maimer. Control is divided between three departments, Interior, Agricultural and "War, and as harmony docs not always prevail between the different department officials, the parks frequently suffer. The management should be concentrated in a single bureau. Except in the Yellow stone, tho government has no jurisdiction to punish of fences in violation of its park regulations. Mining privi leges exist in some of the parks and, arcording to the Interior department, the tendency is to abuse them in or der to secure rights which ultimately must be bought out by the government. Then, too, private interests are al ways encroaching. San Francisco seeks to grab half of the Yoscmite for the Iletch-llctchy watershed. The na tional parlarc always more or less under bombardment by speculators, acting under the cover of special law. Not long ago one assault was headed off which, had it suc ceeded, would have enabled any one to condemn at two .dollars and a half an acre the great falls of tho Yellow stone or of the Yoscmite. The Crater Lake National park offers an example of this divided control. The park superint6ndent is under jurisdiction of the Interior department, the forest rang ers and patrol under the forestry bureau (Department of Agriculture), tho road surveys under the "War depart ment, the geological surveys under the Interior depart ment, the road- construction under the good roads section of the Department of Agriculture. The government has established thirteen national parks and twenty-eight national monuments, or small areas, the former comprising more than 4,500,000 acres. Tlie parks created by congressional action which are en titled to rank as national institutions are the Yellow stone, in "Wyoming, Montana and Idaho; the Yosemite, the Sequoia and the General Grant in California, the Mount Rainier in Washington, the Crater Lake in Oregon, the Glacier in Montana and the Mesa Verde in Colorado, which is a five mile strip for. the protection of some of the most interesting ruins on the continent. The Grand Canon of the Colorado probably will be added. Smaller but some of them as beautiful, if not as extensive, are the Wind Cave in South Dakota, Sully's Hill in North Dakota, Piatt in Oklahoma, the Casa Grande Ruin iaArizona, and the Hot Springs reservation in Arkansas. Some ot tlie smaller partes arc relatively unimportant and may be ceded to the states which contain them. The remainder, however, are of international interest and at tract visitors from all over the world, yet even the great est of these parks, the Yellowstone, was visited by less than twenty thousand persons in 1910. Secretary Fisher holds that the advantages ot a bu reau of national parks would be: First, to bring together in orderly arrangement all na tional parKs ana monuments, tnus suustituung umionmiy of law and administration for the present helter-skelter conditions. Second, such a bureau, competently officered and pro vided with funds with which to attain expert advice, could insure development of useful properties and avoid a great waste of money upon othqrs. It would also pro vide for skilled landscape architects under whose direc tions the natural beauties of tho parks may be properly displayed and brought to their highest development. Third, exploitation of the parks follow the example of the railroads and let the people, know what unrivaled attractions in the way of scenery and health the .parks have to offer. The bureau could issue literature, maps and hotel and railroad information, and, in a word, de velop business for the parks to tho benofut of the public. If Secretary Fisher succeeds in the creation of a park bureau he will have accomplished something well worth the while and made his regime most memorable. In his efforts he will have the cooperation and best wishes of a majority of Americans everywhere. taken tho lomlmvlilp of Mcdford newspapers." Tho nvcruuo-rcimVr of tho Ore.
