f)emonetrates Benefit of Fire Protection

WHO OWNS BRIOHT ANOEL TRAIL?

Unclc Sm Docrn't Orpn thc Treil lnto Gnnd Crnyon

This spot in the Sierras of California was logged 20 years ago and has since escaped fire. The young growth lcft at the time of cutting and the seedlings started since are rapidly developing into another forest-chiefly sugar pine, western yellow pine, and white fir-which will exceed the original stand.

The condition of the young forest demonstrates the benefits of fire protection. As is shoWn from records kept by the forest experirnent stations of the U. S. F'orest Service on similar young forests, €ven a light ground fire running through this tract not only would destroy many of the young trees but would also slow up the growth rate of those remaining.

"Who owns Bright Angel Trail, the most famour and one of thc most picturesque mountaih trails in Amcric8," asks the cditor of AMERICAN FORESTS AND FOREST LIFE in the June issue of this organ of the American Forestry Association. To this question, continues the article, nine out of ten readers will prollably reply, "The Government, of course, for is not Bright Angel Trail the main foot path into the heart of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, and is not the Grand Canyon one of our greatest national parks ?" The logic of thii reply is good, but as this instance proves, fact does not always follow logic. Bright Angel Trail does not belong to the Federal Government. It is owned by Coconino County of_ the sovereign State of Arizona, and such being the case, _Coco- nino County exacts a toll of one dollar from every Grand Canyon visitor who, astride a sleepy burro, elects to descend its tortuous and awe-inspiring course. An amendment to the appropriation bill for the Department of the Interior which carries thc national park budget, proposing that this trail be purchased by the United States for the sum of $1m,000 has resulted in controversy which has deadlocked the Senate arrdl the House, and has held up for weeks the progress of one of the largest fiscal ,measures, the appropriation bill for the Department of the Interior. Repiesentative Hayden, of Arizona, is- the author of this amCndment which was passed by the House and is in line with the procedure established in the act of Congress creating the Grand Canyon National Park in 1919. Representativl Cramton, Chairman of the House SubCommittee on National Parks, was responsible for reportins this purchase amendment act of the committee in the H6use. but when it reached the Senate it was stricken out.
