NEW HAMPSHIRE'S MOUNTAINS. 



IN his address before the New Hampshire Game and Fish 

 League at its last meeting. Rev. Henry Powers spoke 

 as follows regarding the resources which the State possessed 

 in her mountains : 



New Hampshire, by nature and by 'position among the 

 States of the Union, is most uniquely and most admirably 

 fitted to become the summer sanitarium and the pleasure 

 gr< >und of the nati in, for she holds within her borders, as 

 they cannot be found elsewhere, all the essential elements 

 and advantages that are required for the making of such a 

 smilariuui. She has for it, if not for general agriculture, the 

 right soil and climate and scenery; lofty mountains and for- 

 est-covered hills, and beautiful lakes and rivers and valleys, 

 and clear running streams and brooks. She has all the insti- 

 tutions and appliances and products of the most advanced 

 civilization and she is in Ihe immmediate neighborhood of, or 

 in close connection with, by steamboat and railroad car, and 

 teltgraph and telephone, all the great centers of wealth and 

 agriculture and population in the land. That such a sani- 

 tarium is needed lay the people of our country is more and 

 more apparent every year j that New Hampshire is marked 

 out by a sort of natural fore-ordination to become such a 

 sanitarium is fast growing to be the opinion of every section 

 of the naiion ; that the people of New Hampshire are able to 

 utilize their resources and their oppporlunies in this direc- 

 tion, and to an extent that they have scarcely dreamed as 

 yet, is the firm pei suasion of the best, the wisest and the 

 most enterprising of their number, and that the prosperity 

 of our rugged little Slate will depend very largely in all the 

 coming time upon all her people sharing in this persuasion 

 with them is the strong convic ion which possesses my own 

 soul, and whicu I would now impar. io your souls if it be not 

 lodged there already. 



The summer sanitarium of America. What is that ? It is 

 a place to which all sons and kinds of men can go when they 

 are sick or tired, or hungry for a sight of the fields and 

 woods and mountains, or have a desire simply to change the 

 customary surroundings Hnd employments of their everyday 

 existence in order that they may find that rest and comfort 

 for the body, that peace and quiet for the spirit, and that 

 new zest for all the things of life which shall henceforth 

 have power to make them young and strong again. Such a 

 place as this cannot be made by man alone ; it must be 

 shaped of God originally, and made grand and beautiful as 

 well as useful to all His sentient creatures, through the ming- 

 ling of all the primal elements of His visible creation. 



But nature iB at her best here in New Hampshire. All 

 that the Great Architect of the universe could do most gra- 

 ciously to render our Sta'e attractive to the dwellers in every 

 land He certainly has done. For scenes of simple beauty and 

 variegated loveliness, alternating with the wildest sublimity, 

 New Hampshire nmy well compare with the most celebrated 

 resorts of Europe ; hence we believe ' the time is not very 

 remote, ' says Prof. Sanborn, 'when the tide of European 

 travel, like " the course of empire," westtcard shall take its 

 way, and the valleys and pinnacles of our familiar mountains 

 will echo with strange tongues, and become populous with 

 visitors from the old world.' In my judgment, however, this 

 time will never come until the people of New Hampshire 

 shall have resolved to do their best for the development and 

 the improvement of all these wondrous gifts. First, God 

 must work, and then man, and the true sanitarium of Amer- 

 ica will*be this bit of nature cullivated and transfigured until 

 it shall form a fitting part of that nobler Eden of the coming 

 lime. 



Do you inquire, then, how this transfiguration shall ever 

 be brought about ? The process is simple, and very practica- 

 ble. Remembering that ' the physical basis of life ' must be 

 the first thingthought of, build railroads and turnpikes around 

 the lonely mountains, and hotels and boarding-houses in all 

 the places where they are required ; cover the denuded bills 

 with forests ; plant shade-trees in the villages and by the road- 

 side, and lay out parks and pleasure grounds in all the cities 

 and larger towns ; fill the woods with game, the rivers and 

 lakes and brooks with fieh, and the fields and gardens with 

 beautiful shruhs and flowers. Let the Government of the 

 State assist in this great, work of upbuilding, and the people 

 of the State be urged to invest of their labor and their sur- 

 plus earnings in private and public village and town im- 

 provements. Let the churches be repaired, the schools en- 

 larged and multiplied, and all our people taucht that their 

 pecuniary as well as their other interests, are involved in 

 these and such like changes, and the thing is done. 



But, do you ask again, is it certain that New Hampshire 

 can regain her lost prosperity in this way ? — can increase her 

 population and wealth, and improve the quality of her citi- 

 zenship by efforts of this sort ? Yes ; for it has been done 

 in the Republic of Switzerland, for example, in Europe. 

 Switzerland, some years ago, found herself in much the same 

 condition that New Hampshire was a generation since. She 

 was losing wealth and losing population, and her ruin seemed 

 inevitable at no very distant day. So the leaders of her dif- 

 ferent cantons came together in council and discussed the 

 situation. The result was, they resolved unanimously that 

 the Government of Switzerland should be requested to enter 

 into partnership with the Alps, and that it should henceforth 

 try to make ihetu the foundation of the national prosperity. 

 The Republic of Switzerland listened to this request. The 

 government built roads and bridges and laid out many im- 

 provements. The people put up guest-houses, adorned their 

 villages, and made the whole country as agreeable to 

 strangers as they possibly could, and today there is no part 

 of Europe making more rapid advances than this little com- 

 monwealth among the mountains. 



Will it pay, then, to develop in like fashion the nalural 

 resources of New Hampshire ? Why, gentlemen, it is pay- 



ing already, and in dollars and cents, as no other business 

 among us is paying. During the first quarter of this century 

 the number of visitors to the White Mountains averaged 

 about twelve each year. In 1860, Starr King tells us that 

 'not less than 5,000 persons make the ascent of Mount Wash- 

 ington every summer by the bridle, paths.' It was estimated 

 at the Summit House last summer that about 12,000 persons 

 visited Mount Washington during the season, some 10,000 of 

 whom went up by the railroad, and ibis is the way the stream 

 of travel, now running toward our State, is rapidly swelling 

 from year to year. More than $4,000,000, it is thought, 

 were brought into New Hampshire by the people who came 

 here last season, a very much larger sum than was ever real- 

 ized before. If, then, it be remembered that the profits of 

 this traffic remain for the most part with us, and that by it a 

 home market is created for all our farm and garden products, 

 we shall not be surprised to learn that the number of aban- 

 doned homesteads is beginning to be diminished, and that our 

 farmers' sons and daughters are less inclined to emigrate 

 than formerly. And then, besides all this, there are men of 

 New Hampshire birth who have, made their fortunes in other 

 parts of the world, that are now returning in constantly in- 

 creasing numbers to their childhood homes that they may 

 live in them the remainder of their days, and these men are 

 ready to spend their wealth most generously in beautifying 

 and adorning these homes, around which their earliest affec- 

 tions are clustered. The change for the better, therefore, in 

 all those parts of our State which have been reached and 

 watered by this Nile of travel, is quite marked already, and 

 there is no reason to suppose that its limits have been attain- 

 ed as yet. Doubtless this stream of travel will increase 

 continually, and ihe benefits also which flow from it will in- 

 crease as the years roll on. 



But it is time to say a word or two concerning the part 

 which the members of this league should take in this effort 

 to make New Hampshire a summer sanitarium. It is not too 

 much to affirm, perhaps, that if there were no game in our 

 woods and no fish in our streams, then the visiiors we are 

 the most desirous of securing, because they would help us 

 the most in this effort at upbuilding, would not be so ready 

 to ome into our State. The fact is, that hunting and fishing 

 are peculiarly the sports of gentlemen, for the conditions of 

 l heir pursuit are uniformly fresh air, fine scenery, the exer- 

 cise of skill and energy in mind and bodv, and loving com- 

 munion with the works of nature. ' None are so able,' says 

 Col. Theo. Lyman, ' to cope with great affairs, as those who 

 on fitting occasion can take dog and gun and tramp all day 

 long through the autumn covers, or wade a trout-brook of a 

 June motnii'g. Such are the English gentry who make laws 

 in Parliament : such was Daniel Webs er, and such would have 

 been Horace Greeley, if he had not made the fatal mistake of 

 "waiting forty years to go fishing.' " The special duty, then, 

 of the members of this league is to do what thev can to make 

 these noble and delightful sports both universal and profit- 

 able in New Hampshire ; to create a popular opinion, if pos- 

 sible, that shall be favorable to their pursuit ; and also to 

 secure the active and hearty co-operation with them of all 

 our people in the endeavor to stock our fields and woods and 

 lakes and rivers and brooks with the objects of the sports- 

 man's delight.
