Its small size demonstrates that extensive area Is not an essential factor In national park worth. Much might be said about these several items. .These facts may be briefly set forth. There is one other national park east of the Mississippi--but It is medicinal rather than scenic. This is Hot Springs National park in Arkansas, the oldest of the system. It was set apart by congress in 1832 --forty years before the national park movement began with the creation of the Yellowstone--because of Its curative hot springs. Until within two years Its legal title was Hot Springs reservation. Lafayette Is the only national park In the East for the reason that congress to date Jhaa. refused to purchase land for national parks and has created the various units of the system out of public lands In the West. All eastern lands are in private ownership except certain Appalachian forests recently purchased under the Weeks act for the protection of stream sources and the conservation of growing timber. Lafayette was given to the nation by the owners of the land. Lafayette will always be a monument to the energy and persistence of George B. Dorr, of the second generation of island resorters, who has now taken the position of superintendent In order to carry on the work of adding lands to the park. The flr'st recorded coming of summer visitors to Mount Desert island was in 1855. By 1870 Bar Harbor was in full swing. In the Nineties it was probably the most famous summer resort in the United States. Then cottage life replaced hotel life and Bar Harbor became noted for its exclusiveness and for the number and magnificence of Its summer homes. Nowadays the shore for miles Is im^d by summer places whose owners are nationally known. It was In 1900 that Mr. Dorr took steps for the formation of a forestry association to conserve the wildest part of the island from commercial Invasion. The next summer Dr. Charles W. Eliot of Harvard called a meeting to form a corporation for the purpose of holding gifts of lands. This was the origin of the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations, which fifteen years later presented the park to the nation. The movement grew sl<*pvly but steadily. Summer residents gave lands and money to buy lands from local owners. In 1913 Mr. Dorr went to Washington and broached to Secretary Lane of the Interior department the Idea of giving the lands to the nation. Secretary Lane warmly approved. Mr. Dorr returned to the Island to exend and consolidate the tract and to perfect the itles. Itj was 1916 before this work was completed. Then Mr. Dorr returned to Washington and was advised to offer the lands as a national monument under the Antiquities act of 1906, a precedent for acceptance having been established by the creation of the Muir Woods National monument in California, given by William Kent. The result was that a ^proclamation establishing the Bieur de Monts National monument was signed by President Wilson July 8, 1916. It was found that the monument measured up to national park natural scenery. Obviously it should ccatain, for one thing, a Great Lakes area. A great swamp-- like the Everglades or Okelinokee--should be Included. But until congress broadens its policy to acquire national park areas by purchase ther« will be no more national parks east of the Mis*, sissippl unless public-spirited citizens emulate the labors of men like Mr. Dorr and President Eliot. This writer has often wondered why some rich American does not furnish the money to buy a -great tract of land in the East to be presented to tbe federal government for a national park. It would be something new In benefactions. The way has been made easy by the act of June 5, 1920, which authorizes the secretary of the Interior in his administration of the national park service "to accept patented lands, rights of way over patented lands or other lands, buildings, or other property within the various national parks and monuments, and moneys which may be donated for the purposes of the national park and monument system." Congress will not buy land for national parks, but it will take anything that anybody offers--provided always that the gift Is Worth while according to accepted standards. -- Donations, as Suggested by this act, are beconi' lug numerous. Archer M. Huntington, for example, gave the Aztec Ruin in New Mexico to the government and it was established as the Aztec Ruin National monument, in 1923. The Estes Park Woman's club gave to the government the lot on which has been erected the new administration building of Rocky Mountain National park. The latest gift of Director Stephen T. Mather of - ep,l»P association. Everywhere, spruce and birch, the national park service is a tract of 400 acres l('ne an(1 mnP'e- beech, hemlock, cedar, which enclose many Islands. The largest and finest of these islands Is Mount Desert. Chumplaln gave this island its name a long while ago. Henry IV of France had sent the Sieur de Monts to develop the Province of Arcadia. This Huguenot soldier and gentleman founded a colony which he called Port Royal. He then sent Champlaln, his pilot, to explore the coast to the south. September 5, 1604, Champlaln arrived at the island and wrote In his log: It la very high and notched In places »o that there i» the appearance to ofte at sea of s^ven or eight mountains extending^ along near each other. The summit of them la destitute of trees, as there are only rocks upon" them. « - S o C h a m p l a l n named it "Isle des Monts Deserts." These "Lonely Mountains" have largely been renamed since the creation of the park. Hera are new names and old names: Champlaln.' Newport: mountain; Cadllladk Green mountain; Pe« , nobscot, Jordan mountain ; Parkman. Little B r o w n ' s m o u n t a i n ; No r u m b e g a. Brown mountain; Acadia. R o b i n s o n m o u n t a i n ; St. Sauveur, Dog mountain; Mansell, Kast Peak, Western mountain; Hernard. West Peak, Western mountain. Ch a m p 1 a 1 n, 1,060 feet high, is appropriately named. Cadillac (1,532) is named for Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who served in Acadia and afterward became successively the founder ,of Detroit and governor of Louisiana. He was once the owner of the island, under grant from Louis XIV, grandson of Henry IV. Penobscot Is the nam* of the Indian tribe which occupied this region anfl Norumbega perpetuates the Indian name for tha land. Parkman is named for the famous historian. Acadia Is self-explanatory. St. Sauveur Is named after a mission established in 1013 on the island by the Jesuits. Sir Robert Mansell was once vice admiral of the British fleet and a member of th#. council for New England. Bernard is named for Sir Francis Bernard, "Captain General and Gov* ernor in Chief of our Province of Massachusetts Bay in America," to whom the Province of Massachusetts granted the island in 1862. And as the park was established Just before the Armistice it was named Lafayette in commemoration of the ties of friendship that had so long existed between America and France. , Lafayette contains a wonderful variety of scenery. Four mountain-girdled and forest-bordered lakes--Jordan pond. Bubble pond and Eugle and Echo lakes--In their surroundings have no suggestion of the sen. They might be in the Adirondacks. Yet one may fish In this mountain wilderness for brook trout and within the hour for haddock in the sea. Somes sound, which divides Lafayette, Is entered through a deep channel called the Narrows. Once a glacinl channel, It stretches northward seven miles. Norumbega and Parkman mountains slope back on the east and St. Sauveur and Acadia mountains rise abruptly, on the west. Low elevations enclose the broad northern end. The sound Is of great beauty, whether seen from the water or from any point on the mountains. 'Lafayette's forest Is a thing of beauty and a Joy forever. While conifers predominate, an exceptional beauty, is imparted by a varied exhibit of deciduous trees. "The beauty of the woo<|,lands is beyond description," writes Robert Sterling Yard, executive secretary of the Nutlonal Parks association. "While red spruce occurs In large stands, much of the forest Is made up of many kinds of trees, deciduous and conifer, In pieturwith a series of bays, by commending a thing without first assuring himself It Is all right Tanlac has been endorsed by numbers ot prom'nent ministers. They have put Tanlac to the test of pet^ sonal service and their words carry conviction beciause they say what they know to be the truth. One of the latest to speak out In behalf of Tanlac is Rev. B. E. Bell, a retired Baptist minister, 207 Elm St, San Antonio, Texas, who says: "Before taking Tanlac I had suffered from stomach and "nerve troubles for over 30 years and there were times when my condition was such that It required almost superhuman effort for me to prepare my sermops and go through with my Sunday services. Indeed, my work seemed Ilka some great obstacle across my pathway-- a burden too big to carry In my weak physical condition. "But in six weeks' time Tanlac. transformed my entire outlook, giving me what seemed like a new set of nerves and a brand-new digestive system. My appetite became ravenous, my nerves steady, my liver action regular and I could sleep sound tar the first time in years. Whenever I have the slightest symptoms of trouble now I always resort to Tanlac, am taking some at present, and It never fails t6 smooth things out for me. I certainly have the best of reasons for feeling grateful to Tanlac." Tanlac Is for sale by all good dragt gists. Accept no substitute. Over 40 million bottles sold Tanlac Vegetable Pills for constt* pation; made and recommended lijjj the manufacturers of Tanlac.

Lafayette National park, though small, measures up to the requirement of national importance. Mount Desert Island is the most celebrated beauty spot on a coast famous for Its beauty. It is the largest of a group of many islands. Generally round In shape. It Is cut into nearly eest and west halves by Somes sound, the only glacial fiord south of Newfoundland. It is indented on all shores by bays and inlets of many sizes and shapes. Its ocean front is'1 picturesquely rocky. East and west across the Island for twelve miles stretches a range of twenty or more mountains. North, west and south of these lie rolling hills, forested levels, meadows and lakes. Bar Harbor on Frenchman's bay, Seal Harbor on the soutli shore and Northeast and Southwest Harbors on either side of the entrance of Somes sound are the principal resort centers. The national park consists of all but one of the mountains, nlso their enclosed lakes and certain low lands and outlying properties. Including an area of ocean shore. i The mountains of Lafayette are the only ones fronting the Atlantic coast of the United States. They are very old--they were old before the " Rockies, Sierras and other mountains of the~ &cenic West came up from the waters. They are the remnants of what was once a great granite ~ range stretching southward through Maine to a point at sea now deeply submerged. . All this edge and all the rest group together in delightful unexpectedness. "Because of the long period of this country's human occupation, much of the forest is of recent growth, hut in places there are fine examples of the uncut forest of the prehistoric Indian. There are few places in our east where nny primitive forest remains, and all of these should be guarded with Jealous care. "But we shall give a poor Idea of the Lafayette forest if we fall to proclaim the beauty of Its floor. Within the denser stands of spruce nothing lesser grows for lack of light; the traveler walks on gprlncry rugs of brown .needles. "The undergrowth is similarly brilliant. Black aider with its bright autumnal berries, viburnums In four splendid species, hazel nut. witch hazel, the red-berried and purple-berried elders, the shad bush, earliest in the spring to bloom, sweet fern and baylierry, and a score of others choose :each its own special habitat and favorite company. The northern dogwood abounds. Flreweed paints broadly the fire-made barrens. - "Lafayette's entire surface is a garden of beauty." Lafayette had 64.000 visitors last sutntoer. Congress appropriated .<30.000 for Its maintenance and Improvement and Secretary Work Is consulting with th< se most interested as to plans of development.
