For years the canyon has been quite generally regarded as a park. but officially it is a section of two national forests, a game refuge and a national monument. “It has never been managed as a | part of the park system, and has never | been susceptible of development as such,” says the house public lands committee in reporting favorably a | senate bill that would dedicate 950 square miles—600,000 acres—in northern Arizona as the Grand Canyon National Park. “This magnificent gorge should now take its place as a link in the national park chain which already includes most of the nation's wonderful and extraordinary natural features.” It was thirty-two yvears ago last January that the first bill to make the Grand Canyon a national park was in- troduced in the senate by the late ex- President Benjamin Harrison, then a senator from Indiana. Since then the | proposal has been presented to con- | Congress Likely to Take Stepsi: | Labor gress from time to time. “It appears that there been a valid objection against it” declares Secretary Lane, | in a statement favoring the project. | “Nor can such an objection be urged, | because the Grand Canyon belongs to | the federal government and any at- | tempt to thwart a change in its status, | which would distinctly redound to its | advantage, must be by some private interest.” Private resources have accom- plished limited development. Thou- | sands of tourists visit the Canyon an nually but due to the lack of roads, | trails and side-trip destinations the throngs have little opportunity to enjoy in full measure the marvelous | grandeur of the region. Less than 400 of the 600,000 acres that the proposed legislation would | place in the park are now in private ownership, these being held in small parcels near the rim. Obviously, the | greater part of the land lies within the | enormous gulf, measuring at some | points 20 miles across the top. Suffi- | cient land is to be included back of the north and south rims to make possible road development and to care for camping and hotel facilities.

Fairbanks, Alaska, Oct. 25, (Cor- respondence of the Associated Press) ~The new Alaska Agricultural Col- | lege and School of Mines under con- struction here about 100 miles from the Arctic Circle, is believed to be farther north than any other institu- tion of higher learning 1n the world, Tt will train itsgraduates to help de- i velop Alaska along its two main lines | —agriculture and mining. Authori- ties assert this northern soll holds big things in both food and metals, Both United States government and | Alaska territorial funds are being used by the college. Congress, in 1915 deignated a site for the school and set aside agricultural and mining lands in the Tanana Valley for the support of the institution. Last year the Alaska Territerial Legislature voted $60,000 for the construction se of equipment. An an- | nual congressional appropriation of | 850,000 is expected to help maintain the school. The Fairbarks United States Gov- ernment Agricultural station, now lo- cated on the college site, will become | part of the new institution and will continue to draw its revenue for sup- | port from the federal government.
