THURSDAY EVENING, HARJRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 4, 1919. SNYDER COUNTY HAS BIG VIRGIN Mountain Historian Says Great Tract Should Be Made Into State Park and Named For Former Governor and Distinguished Pennsylvanian Middlcburg, Pa., Sept. 4. Through the recent visit of 1 Col. Henry W. Shoemaker, President of the Pennsylvania Alpine Club, member of the State Forestry Com mission, and Pennsylvania's chief historian of mountain stories and mountain animals, Snyder county has been placed on the map as hav ing the greatest virgin forest this side of the Mississippi, even sur passing the Cook tract which is es timated worth a million dollars. The forest lies in Jacks Moun tains. Snyder county, about five miles from Troxelville. Col. Shoe maker thinks it should be made a State Park 'tvid named in honor of Governor Simon Snyder, who was a resident of Snyder county, and served as Governor from 1809 to 1816, and Hon. Nqr Middlesworth, another distinguished son of Snyd er county, who was a captain in the War of 1812, was elected thir teen times a member of the Legis lature and was twice Speaker of the House, was a member of the Senate, two terms in Congress, and one term of associate judge. Col. Shoemaker says: "That for est is the crowning jewel of Snyder county and is one of the greatest sights east of the Mississippi. It should be named the "Snyder-Mid dlesworth State Park," after her two most illustrious sons, and pre served for the people of Snyder county forever. It surely makes the $1,000,000 Cook tract look like a bunch of brush. Those trees are of more impressive interest than Watkins Glen and a dozen other Rides on Cows Back When Uncle Dares; Hurt When Animal Hits Back Glea Rock, Pa., Sept. 4.—Refus ing to take a dare made by his uncle, Britton Koller, of near here, met with a serious accident.

We went in to stay 1 fifteen minutes and remained over two hours, entranced by this su perbly impressive shrine, where na ture speaking through the branches of the giant hemlocks and pines, breathed the spirit of beauty and conservation and of true reverence of Eternity. "Snyder county should be called the 'Scenic County of Pennsylvania."' In the west branch of the Mahan tongo, you have the most beautiful stream in the United , States a stream unsung by any poet, and never described by writer's pen, yet exceeding in beauty the Wissahick on or any stream I have ever seen. "In the culminating pinnacle of Jacks Mountain you have a height grander than old Greylock in the Berkshires. Your islands and wat er front on the Susquehanna excel the famed 'Thousand Islands.' I hope the day will come when I can be present at the dedication of the 'Snyder-Middlesworth State Park," and that Snyder county will ap preciate and enjoy that matchless gorge of virgin timber." When the Pardees owned that timber, they had a faithless manag er, Who was tired of cutting those big trees and when 217 acres of these large trees still remained standing, he reported to his boss that the timber was all cut. Mr. Pardee then sold the land to the State, with the belief that all the timber had been cut.
