Oct. 8&—The tales of Marco Polo and Munchausen pale before the recorded facts in the annals of the Department of the In- terior. What fiction can match the story of an agency that has adminis- tered a billion and a half acres of land, disposing of nearly 90 per cent of this area to and for the people? It contains chapters on precious metals, mountainous dams, winter sports, the Indians and other Amer- icans needing protection, billions of dollars in natural resources, the his- tory and natural wonders of the na- tion, and the latest developments in social planning. The narrative covers subjects of such magnitude and yet contains such exquisite details that the reader is enthralled, be he scien- tist or layman. This Department, charged with the administration of the domestic affairs of the country, had its inception in the surveying which began shortly af- ter the Revolution and which contin- ues to this day. A surveyor-general started the work in 1796 which was | 45 put in the General Land Office in 1812‘and which with its ramifications has made Uncle Sam the greatest ,jrealter of all time. After the Mex- ican War the Secretary of the Treas- ury protested that he and other Cab- inet officers were obliged to direct programs which should be handled in a Home Department. The increase in population, wealth, and business was such that in 1849 Congress authorized the establishment of the Department. of the Interior, and Thomas Ewing of Ohio, foster-father of William Tecum- seh Sherman, tecame the first secre- The General Land Office, Patent Office, Indian Affairs, Pensions, and other affairs of domestic nature were placed in this Department. Super- vision of the erection of the dome of the Capitol was one of the projects.

With the creation of other execu- tive departments and in subsequent reorganization, there have been addi- tions and subtractions in the activities of the Department of the Interior. Generalizing, it may be said that it is the guardian of the Nation’s natural resources. Specifically, it has about & dozen offices, each of which is dedi- cated to reducing waste that would bankrupt countries less bountifully endowed, and to promoting the public Welfare. They seek to control fires that have burned in coal mines for years; to check annual losses in oil and gas that run into the tens of mil- lions of dollars: to develop a system of education that will most effectively fit Americans for life; to give the In- dian a share in the right to pursuit by Frederic J.Haskin IN A Condensed Chapter From the Authors New Book week ee eee eaeekaeaeKe ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, OCLOBER 8, 1984 { lands since its creation in 1902.

Barnum is a pigmy, and the wonders that he offered to the public are petty, compared to the displays under the direction of the National Park Service. Nature has been at the task of creating them since the world began and the history of the nation is told in them. In little more than three score years, they have been so administered that between three and four million people visit them every year. They have been augmented until they comprise, in the national parks and-monuments alone, more than 15 million acres. Only a century ago the man who had the courage to tell about the won- ders of the Yellowstone was as brave the lone scout in the Lewis and Clark party who penetrated it in 1807, for he was ridiculed and branded Ananias. Jim Bridger became famous not because he dared to go into this unknown region several times, but as one with a fund of yarns about springs of boiling water, geysers that shoot into the air, and other preposterous phenomena. It was not until 1871 that an official expedition put the stamp of authenticity on what had been considered nonsense, and the| act was drawn up which would set aside this area as @ national park the following year. Through reorganiza- tion in 1933, military reservations, battlefields, national cemeteries, memorials, and the administration of public buildings and the Washing- ton City parks are placed under the director who manages the affairs of the national park service. A recent development is the setting aside of areas cherished for their history, the first. being the Morristown National Historical Park, a camp site of the colonial army in New Jersey. Not only are these areas set aside, but they are so managed as to suit every taste and pocketbook. Visitors may have camps or de luxe hotel ser- vice. Lecturers and guides, especially trained in the work, hold forth on the fauna and flora and history and may gather 3000 interested tourists at a single camp fire.

Hot Debates Slated Log ; McIntosh, _For Labor Conclave; San Francisco, Oct. 8—(#)—Del- egates to the American Federation of Labor convention assembled Monday, ' ready to make the sparks fly. Out of the heated debates which they expect the convention probably will forge its policies on such issues as the 30-hour week, the building trades and the national recovery pro- gram. Labor leaders point out that work- ers in numerous industries cannot ob- tain employment for more than 30 hours a week and in the textile trades the average work week is but 24 hours. As a means of increasing employment in other industries, however, the pro- posal is expected to be adopted. ‘The fight in the building trades de- partment probably will reach the floor early in the week and promises to be one of the most bitter of the conven- tion, ‘The real fight, labor leaders say, is over the officers of the department. The 16 other crafts in the depart- ment feel they will not be able to re- tain their present officers if the three other unions with their tremendous featured in several parks, and a study ee are allowed to return to resorts the f CRUM GETS PERMIT Application of Howard T.

The thirteen original states: and the Lone Star state had retained their public lands. - ‘Thomas Jefferson drew up the plan whereby the country was to be made by survey into a vast checkerboard and the land parcelled off in neat sections. This was the basis of a unique agricultural set-up, the Am- erican plan being characterized by the isolated farm home instead of the settlement found in the old world. Later legislation was designed to encourage settlement rather than money-making and during the Civi? War the Homestead Law permitt! settlers to acquire quarter-sections land by residence, cultivation, and improvement gather than by pur- chase was passed. By this act, revol- utionary in the annals of agricuiture, nearly 300 million acres of land have utilization of grazing and mineral lands for the public benefit, the policy continues of encouraging the eatab- lishment of homes on small tracts. Facts and figures from the bureau of reclamation are among those which , {are so tremendous that the layman can searcely comprehend their meaning. To say that the cumulative value of the crops grown on irrigated land over: @ quarter of a century is nearly two billion dollars only hints at vast dams. power houses, and millions of acres of In one year alone, nearly three million acres were irrigated with water from government works. Tt is possible to imagine the size of Boulder Dam, one of the mammoth Projects to solve the lack of water’ problem, by knowing that it will taxe nearly two years to place the three and a half million cubic yards of con- crete in this structure, and that 5,- 500,000 barrels of cement will be used.
