got the spirit of the old pioneer before you, those who founded the

Those of us who have taken up forestry, I am perfectly certain to 

 be telling the truth in saying, we would not give it up for any other 

 profession in which we might engage. 



I have said what I came here to say, and in closing I want simply 

 to reiterate that if the State of Vermont, the citizens of Vermont, will 

 take such steps as I have outlined, or others with the same effect, they 

 will be able to add a very Jarge source of wealth to the Commonwealth 

 and a great element of beauty to your country. I am told the beauty 

 element of New Hampshire is worth to that State ten million of dollars 

 each year. If you will perpetuate in your State industries which are 

 practically certain to become more valuable to you as time goes on, it 

 is certain you will not only benefit and enrich yourself, but will also 

 largely benefit and beautify your State as a whole. 



I want to say again what a great pleasure it is for me to be here, 

 and also to bid you good night.
