August 24, and so enraptured wasi
Colonel Shoemaker and the entire |
party that this second visit was j
Planned.
United States Senator Penrose and I
Federal Judge Witmer have made'
recent pilgrimages to this matchless]
gorge of virgin timber, and it is
agreed by all who have been enrap
tured by this majestic splendor that
the tali trees should be preserved
for ail time and that the best way
to do it is to have it set upart by
the State us a fitting memorial to
Governor Snyder, after whom the
county has been named, Hon. Net 1
Middleworth and all of Snyder
county's soldier sons.
Want Forest Preserved
Owing to ravages of lumber mer
chants. the presence of these large
trees was little known even among
Snyder eountians until recently. It
was kept as much a secret as pos
sible to prevent devastation. Now
Colonel Shoemaker and Hon. Gifford
Pinchot, who are making a visit to
different parts of the State to inves
tigate contracts for denuding State
forests, are on record for preserving
"this one forever.
W. J. Barschat, of Troxelville, is
the State Forester in charge of this
particular tract, and has been guard
ing with a jealous eye this giant for
est. Some years ago, when Lieut.
Gardiner Conklin, son of Forest
Commissioner Conklin, was in charge
as Forest Warden, an appropriation
was secured and a good auto road
built to the very edge of the big
tree tract.
How State Got Title
Just how the State acquired such
a traa* of marketable timber is told
by Mr. Barchat. the present for
ester. Years ago. when the Pardees
were timbering off the lumber, work
had been progressing for mnnv years
with the same foreman, and it is
said the foreman tired of his job and
wanted to quit, and he reported to
bis boss, the owner of the timber,
that all had been taken off when the
Pardees sold the land to the State
including the tali hemlocks and the
pines, at the price of denuded forest
land.
