The report was accepted. 



Gen. C. C. Andrews, Fire Warden of 

 Minnesota, explained at some length the 

 proposed National Park in Minnesota, 

 laying especial stress on the fact that the 

 rights of the Indians will not be disturbed. 

 The Congressional commission of investi- 

 gation will be appointed as soon as the 

 bill passes the House. The opposition of 

 one member is blocking the way but, it 

 will undoubtedly be withdrawn after full 

 explanation in regard to the points on 

 which he is raising objection. 



Professor Holmes stated that the action 

 of the last Congress in making an appro- 

 priation for investigating the Appalachian 

 Park project had resulted in a report soon 

 to be presented to Congress. He thought 

 the fact that some five hundred newspapers 

 are favorably disposed to all forest work 

 is an evidence of the widespread interest 

 in the subject. 



On motion of Professor Holmes, the 

 resolutions were adopted as reported. 



Col. Fox, for the committee on nomina- 



tions, reported the list of officers for the 

 ensuing year, and on motion, the secretary
