Dy JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN
I'.KI'AKI' for "Tliu President's
'oiL'st!" Something new I Koine
tiling hlgnlllcnnt ! Inti'restlnjr !
A joint ict-olutlon (S. J. Ks.
ini) "creating the President's
Forest wltliln tlie present Kallmb
National forest, Arizona," lias
been introduced by Senator Heed
Smoot of Utah nnil referred to
the committee on public lands
and surveys. The resolution,
Ijijjry tA niter iciiuiii me iniiiura,
1 &? provides that the land and tlm
j &$ ber "are hereby withdrawn from
soiuctueiii, iul.iuihi, uttuimnv....
crazing or disposal under the laws of the United
States and dedicated and set apart as a same
i ancillary and forest preserve for the benetlt and
enjoyment of the people, and shall hereafter bo
known as the President's Koiest."
"The President's Forest." If this resolution Is
passed by both houses, will therefore bo the name
of approximately G00.000 acres of timber forever
set aside for the people and forever barred to pur
chaser, homesteader, miner, stockman, lumberman,
resident, hunter and trapper. Under the present
foi in of the resolution control will remain In the
forest borvlco of the Agricultural department,
which controls the Kallmb National forest and all
national forests. To all luteins and purposes the
foiest will ho a part of the Grand Cunon National
park, which runs Into It on the south and Is In
charge of the national park service of the Interior
department.
So "The President's Forest," Is something new.
The name, for one 'tiling, Is new, And why "The
President's Forest"?
ISecause the United States Is a nation governed
toy laws rather thiin by men. Presidents come
mul presidents go. As long as there is a United
States there will bo a president. And as long as
there Is a president there will bo "The President's
Forest."
And "The President's Forest" Is new In form
too. There's nothing Just like It. It's nearest In
form to a national park. It has size, majesty and
toeauty. Prlvato and commercial Interests are
tonrred. It Is a gnino sanctuary. It Is purely "for
the benefit and enjoyment of the people." All of
which closely describe a national park.
Certnlnly it Is far removed In form from a na
tional forest. Tho national forests, as established
toy law, arc purely commercial and Industrial In
Htltutlons for tho application for profit of scien
tific lumbering and grazing to the nation's wood
lots, though as a matter of fact there Is Instead
of a profit an annua! deficit of a million and more
and tho forest service Is exploiting tho national
forests as recreational rivals to national parks.
Anyway, "The President's Forest" will bo one for
est whero the forest service cannot Insist upon
trying to combine cattle and campers, wood-choppers
and tree-lovers, sheep and tourists. Cattle
In a wild beauty spot are a calamity; sheep aro
a catastrophe.
Tho movement to create "Tho President's For
j'st" has a significance that gladdens tho nature
lover's heart. It betokens an Increasing national
appreciation of the vuluo of scenery ns n nntural
resource, ns a national asset. It betokens an In
creasing national consciousness that It Is not well
) lay the nx to every forest, to turn the cattle
ind sheep looso on tho shrubs and (lowers of ev
ery wild beauty spot.
Tho Kallmb National forest Is approximately
40 miles square, and contains 1,072,1)00 acres. It
stnnds on the Knlbnb platenu, which rises up from
tho desert that surrounds It on tho north, enst and
west ami blopes down to 8,000 feet at the North
Mm of tho Grand canyon.
"ThoPresIdent's Forest" is the east hnlf of the
Knlbnb National forest. Tho northwest part of
"The President's Forest" shoulders up on to Buck
skin mountnln. So there aro mountains and val
leys covered with gnnrled one-heeded Juniper and
plnon and with uinjestlc western yellow pine
which aro threo and four feet through and rlso
;100 feet. There Is somo Douglas fir and somo
spruce. Ravines are clad with tho lighter green
of tho aspen which changes to vivid yellow, gold
and red In tho fall. In the Mttlo parks within tho
forest tho trees stop half-wny down tho rimming
slopes and leave room for whlto clover, grass and

(lowers and for wild strawberries about a spring.
This vast, remote, rugged, hcavUy-tliabercd Kal
lmb National forest Is still a wild place In spite of
tliu fact that thousands of cattle and sheep have
been grazing In It for years. It "is still so wild
that there are at least 10,000 blaek-tall deer in It,
though they shrink In disgust from the cattle nnd
sheep. There are many mountain lions that live
on the deer.
This Is the way Senator Smoot's Joint resolu
tion came to be Introduced: Stephen T. Mather,
director of the national park service, droe from
the north through the Kallmb National forest to
the North Itlm of tho Grand canyon. Upon his
return to Washington he wrote the following let
ter to President Harding:
Dear Mr. President:
Last summer I visited the wonderful country at
tho North ltlm of tliu Grand canyon and was pro
foundly Impressed with tho wplendld forest and tho
extraordinary display of wild life to bo found there.
This region has been to Isolated from transportation
centers that It has remained almost untouched, and
Is ono of tho very largest arcus of virgin forest In
tho country. It Is reliably estimated thut thero aro
somo thirteen thousand deer In tho Kallmb National
forest.
I was accompanied by Mr. Kmerson Hough, tho
well-known writer, who suggested for this splendid
tract tho namo of "The President's Koiest."
A few weeks later In Los Angclos I met Mr. K.
J. Marshall, president of tho Grand Canyon Cattle
company, tho corporation which lias conducted cattle
grazing operations In this forest for a number of
yeais, and wan very much gatttlcd to llnd a ready
and enthusiastic response- to tho Idea of maintaining
this region solely as a gamo proservo and for public
enjoyment. Slnco then lie has very generously made
tho ofter which I have tho honpr of transmitting to
you In tho nccompinylng letter. This offer means a
very real sacrifice on the part of tho Grand CanyoU
Cuttlo company in abandoning tho Improvement
nhlch thoy mado and relinquishing tho prospect of a
considerable profit from tholr operation. Mr. Mar
shall's other Interests, how over, aro considerable, nnd
ho cheerfully makes this sacrifice in a truly public
spirited manner.
May I express tho hope, Mr. President, that you
may find an opportunity of visiting tho President's
Forest yourself and fooling tho inspiration of Its out
ness nnd unspoiled beauty.
The letcr of Mr. Marshall to President Harding
Is In part as follows:
Tho Grand Canyon Cuttlo company, a California
corporation, has been operating hoi u, for a number of
years under leases from tho United Suites forest serv
ice, and during that time- has mudo extensive and
valuable. Improvements, particularly In tho develop
ment of water supply nnd tho erection of stone cat
tle camp buildings. Tho company owns ceitalu pat
entcd tracts of land within the boundaries of tho for
est reservation and ueveral tracts of located scrip
lands in tho IminudUiiu vicinity. At tho present tlmtf
wo uro grazing a herd of breeding cattle, numbering
about 4.&00 head, under permit from tho forest sexvlco.
Wo desiro to register our willingness to vucato and
abandon tho Knlbnb forest reserwitlon and tho pub
lic lands Immediately adjoining to tho east thercor,
recognizing thnt by so doing tho purposes of former
President Roosevelt in establishing n gnmo proservo
hero could bo moro completely fulfilled, and making
tho enttro region avialablo for tho publlo enjoyment. -
Our only request Is that a reasonable tlmo bo given
the company to dispose of and movo Its llvostock nnd
other personal property,, and that In recognition of our
action such gruzlng permits bo not hereafter Issued
to other livestock Interests In tho area now covered by
our permit.
Arrangements have been made through private in
dividuals for acquiring thu, company's patented land
holdings, vvhjch aro to bo prosonted to tha United
States without cost to tho government.
It was the oilglnnl suggestion
that the President should create
"The President's Forest" by ex
ecutive order. The President
however, preferred action toy
congress to Insure permanency.
Hence the Joint resolution. Sen
ator Smoot was pleased to Intro
(luce the resolution. Utuh Is tre
mentlotisly Interested In the ex
ploitation of the region north
of the Grand canyon. Senator
Smoot says It Is n "wonderland." It Is Indeed a
land of scenic beauties, of geological marvels, or
strange contrasts, of romantic history.
The High plateau of iftab Is divided by canyons
Into nine distinct plateaus which drop the surface
In successive clIITs from nearly the summit-level
of the Wasatch mountains to the desert out of
which rlhes the Kalbab plateau. These cliffs ex
poso In turn strata representing many millions
of years of world-bulldlng. They curve and twist
In fantastic outlines. They take every possible
eroslonal form. They literally run tho gamut of
color and shade nnd tint.
There Is no space here for detailed description
of the Pink ellir. the White clKT and the Vermil
ion cliff; of the great Hurricane fault, the Natural
bridges and the ltalubow bridge; of the Painted
desert; of Lee's ferry across the Colorado, where
John D. Lee hid out for 20 years after the Moun
tain Meadows massacre; of Utah's "Dixie", land
of cotton and heml-troplcal fruits; of tho varie
gated hills of sediment from a prehistoric sea along
the Pariah river where are gold and free mercury.
Zlon Nntlonal pnrkn deep, many-colored gorge
cut In the plateau toy the Mo Virgin Is famous.
Cedar breaks, a marvel of eroslonal forms and
stratified color, Is yet to bo seen by the public,
llryce canyon, n thousand-foot niche In the top of
the Pink til IT, an amphlthcater-llko canyon show
ing nn endless variety of eroslonal forms painted
In every color, shade and tint of tho artist's pal
ette, is ono of the most gorgeous spectucles of the
world.
Southern Utah and northern Arizona are working
together to exploit this land of wonders. A branch
railroad Is likely to be run from Lund to Odar
City; the steel may be extended from Murysvale
to Pangultch. Cednr breaks, Bryce canyon, ZIon
and "Tho President's Forest" aro to bo connected
by automobile highways over the routes Indicated
by the broken lines, according to present plans.
A bridge across the Colorado at Leo's ferry Is
planned. Two of the Colorado-Utah highways to
toe constructed toy Colorado under the federal aid
plan will strike southern Utah, thus connecting
this region with Mesa Verde and Ilocky Mountain
National parks.
Thero Is a bill In congress to make Bryco canyon
tho Utnh National park. It Is more likely to be
made a state park. Cedar breaks may bo added
to ZIon National park.
So thero will soon too thousands of tourists
pushing from the north to tho North Mm thero
weie 1,'JOO last season. And now that the Knlbnb
Suspension bridge has been built across the Col
orado In the Grand canyon n Inrgo proportion of
South Mm visitors of whom there were (10 218
last year will cross to tho North Mm. On the
North Mm there Is scant room for tho public with
in the national park lines. Ilenco the need of
"Tho President's Forest."
"In these circumstances," asks Mr. Average
Man, "why not make 'The President's Forest' a
part of the Grand Canyon Nntlonal park?''
"Because It can't toe done," answers the experi
enced nntlonal park enthusiast, "at least not now.
Tho peoplo will bo lucky to muster enough votes
In congress to get the Joint resolution through.
Tho Agricultural department nnd the forest serv
ice as usual would light to the last ditch to pre
vent the transfer of national forest land to a na
tional park and the Interior department and the
national park service, null! Didn't Theodore
Itoosovelt make tho Grand canyon a national mon
ument January 11, 100S, with tho Idea that It
would bo mudo a national park at once in responso
to the nation-wide demand? But the monument
wns put In charge of the Agricultural department
Instead of being transferred to tho Interior de
partment. And didn't It take tho peoplo Just
eleven years, ono month nnd fifteen days from
Janunry 11. 1008, to get their Grand Canyon Na
tional pork? Verb. sap. I"
Ono enthusiast writes of "Tho President's For
est" as "the grandest natural work of Almighty
God now left In till tho world." Siilllce It to say

The condition that tho girl Is then

hnve such far-reaching eirects upon
her future happiness nnd health, that
it is almost criminal for a mother or

of prolonged pain and misery through
having been tho victim of thought
lessness or ignoranco on the part of
those who should have guided her
through tho dangers and difficulties
that beset this period.
Mothers should tonch their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wot foot, from
lifting heavy articles, and from over
working. Do not let them over-study.
If they complain of headache, pains
In tho back and lower limbs, they
