THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. OCTOBER 7. 1928—PART ‘1. S {ZNANDUAH PARK. GLORIES DESCRIBED Western Supermtendent Tells of Scenic Beauties of New Reservation. | | | | Two superintendents of Western parks under the Netional Park Service of the Interfor Department have just returned to Wacshington after visiting the pro-| posed Shenandeah National Park in Virginia, which will be Uncle Sam's greatest playground in the vicinity of the National Capital. In their opinion, this area possesses the “scenic features of unusual importance” that are requi- site, and they have judged that it is' “far ahead of many other areas that have been proposed for national parks,” Rogert W. Toll, who has charge of Rocky Mountain National Park. gave the following account of his trip: “On the morning of September 30, Col. John R. White, superintendent of | Sequoia National Park. in California, and I left Luray and drove 6 miles to the foot of the slopes leading up to the Blue Ridge. Automobiles can go no far- & ther, so we took saddle horses for the trip to Skyland, 4 miles distant and more than 2,000 feet higher. i “It was raining and the clouds hung ' low. We climbed up a ridge without seeing more than a hundred yards' dis- tant. Find Primitive Folk. “Upon reaching Skyland we found a ' cozy mountain hotel, with a central ! lodge or dining room, and bark-covered | cottages, attractively located nearby, | numerous enough to accommodate per- haps 200 guests | “In the afternoon, with the party of | the State Conservation annd Develop- | ment Commission, we rode in the rain | through the woods and visited two or three families of the backwoods moun- teineers, a few of whom live in the Blue Ridge country in a primitive man- ner, sometimes weaving baskets or hunting to eke out a somewhat pre- carious existence. “The next day, October 1, the clouds had lifted, and we looked from Sky- land out over the Shenandoah Valley, 2,500 feet below, and across to the Mas- sanutten Rlng! and still more distant ranges. ting patches of clouds | still Noated far below us. The view was charming and the différence in elevation more pronounced than we lnd expected. “That day we rode horseback to | Stony Man, whose elevation is 4,031 feet, and enjoyed a distant view in every direction. In the clearest weather one can see about 80 miles to the east- | ward. To the north and to the south are the tumbled hills of the Blue Ridge. To the west is the Shenandoah Valley. Hawks Hill Highest Point. “Then we went to Crescent Rock. and from the top of a cliff looked | down toward the little settlement of Ida: Then we rode to Hawks Bill, the highest point in the proposed national ark area, whose elevation is 4,066 feet. e view is extensive and full of interest. “Later we rode to White Oak Falls. Here the stream plunges from one rocky ledge to another for a distance of apout 2 miles. It is a cambination of rapids, cascades and falls, turning the small stream into foam. “During the day we rode perhaps 18 or 20 miles on horseback, walked sev- eral miles and still saw only a small part of the area of the proj na- tional park. To know it thoroughly, with its hiddden waterfalls, untouched forests and wooded hills would require weeks. “At’ present the motorist cannot get any comprehensive idea of the Shen- andoah Park area. The Lee Highway crosses the northern half of the area, reaching an elevation of 2,200 feet, but one gets only a suggestion, not a clear picture of the more remote and fas- cinating areas. Another auto road crosses the Blue Ridge farther south, but in order really to see the area one must go on horseback or on foot to the higher, less accessible area. 300,000-Acre Area. “The proposed Shenandoah National Park has been authorized by Congress, to be established whenever every acre | within its boundaries has been deeded | to the United States Government in fee simple. The total area of the park is more than 300,000 acres. The State of Virginia has made an appropriation of $1,000,800 toward the purchase of land in this area. The earnestness and enthusiasm of the State may be appreciated when it is realized that this is the largest appropriation that the State has ever made for one pu The private citizens of Virginia have raised enother $1,000,000, friends in | other States have made handsome con- tributions, and the total fund that will be needed, perhaps $5.000,000, is well on its way. The State of Virginia is also ready to cede to the Federal Gov- ernment police jurisdiction over the area, such as has been ceded over most of the principal national parks by the States in which they are located. “The National Park Service does not recognize either geographic location nor density of tributary population nor pos- sibility of recreational development as the primary basis that entitles an area to be established as a national park. The essentil requirement is that an area shall have scenic features of un- usual importance. “Those who have passed on the Ehenandoah area felt that it possessed this qualification, not of the same type #s the Grand Canyon or some other Western national parks. but to a suf- ficient degree, 2nd far above many oth- er areas that have been proposed for national parks. “In the $pring the woods must have 2 peculair charm, with the blossoming beauty of laurel. hawthorne, dogwood end other flowering trees and shrubs. In the Fall, the oaks, maples, sumac and other plants and hardwood trees take on a richness of color that suggest an Oriental rug.” | 1In order to determine if they can be raised on the desert land of the West, 50 specimens of the giant land tortoise have been brought to this country from the Galapagos Islands. The species, which will fed on cactus, vegetables and ued as a meat producer EST. 1879 SOPS FALLING Lacky Tiger knocks d.ndrua and scalp i jeritations by killing germs ox knocks skin THE DEPENDABLE STORE—V/E GOLDENBERG'S|™Gr iy veu NO INTEREST OR EXTRAS ADDED TO CHARGE ACCOUNTS Be Prepared for Cold Nights!
