they |H>int to the necessity of protect ing through wise use a mountain re gion whose Influence flown far beyond Its borders with the waters of the rivers to which It gives rise. , Among the elevations of the eastern half of the United states, the South ern Appalachians are of paramount in terest for geographic, hydrographic, and forest reasons, and, as a conse quence, for economic reasons as well. These great mountains are old in the history of the continent which has grown up about them. The hard wood forests were born on their slopes and have spread thence over the east ern half of the continent. More than once In toe remote geologic past they have disappeared before the sea on the east, south, and west, and before the Ice on the north: but here in this Southern Appalachian region they have lived on to the present day. Under the varying conditions of soil, elevation, and climate many of the Appalachian tree species have <lc veloped. lienee it is that in this ro gion occur that marvelous variety and richness of plant growth which have led our ablest business men and scien tists to ask for Its preservation by the Government for the advancement of science and for tlie instruetiou and pleasure of the people of our own nnd of future generations. Tlie conclusions of the Secretary of Agriculture are summarized as fol lows in his report: The Soutberu Appalachian region be protected and preserved.

But this loss can not be estimated In money value alone. Its continuance means the early destruction of conditions most valuable to the nation, and which nei ther skill nor wealth can restore.

Our own Edwin Booth, we should all remember, trod this same hard road. After lie had reached the top with us, and was rich, he established, and sought to maintain, a temple where the drama in its best estate could lie enjoyed by all who held the playhouse in veneration and affection. The structure was the finest of its kind In New York, and beautifully furnished. He opened It himself, with a supporting company of unusual ex cellence. For a time—a time all too brief—he prospered. His till was filled every night, and praise of his enter prise and devotion to art was general and generous. But he could not hold the public to his splendid endeavor. Taste under went a change. What has since come to lie known as the commercialization of the theatre set in, and In time Booth’s venture failed. The “shows” triumphed, and the temple devoted to real dramatic art was razed to make room for a business block. Stripped of his fortune. Booth, as more recent ly Irving, had to return to the road and resume the habits of a wanderer. He prospered, of course, but never, as Ills friends believed, recovered from tills blow to his professional hopes. The subject Is much discussed, and some Interesting things are said on either side.
