RAN FOR STATE PARK IN KOSCIUSKO COUNTY Creation of a vast .state park—in fact a water highway in so far as it pertains to saving the beautiful nauu] likewise enhancing values of contingent farm lands —to stretch for eighty miles on eacb side of the historic Tippecanoe River, was vWoned today as a near possibility fey Colonel Richard Lieber, state conservation department director. Mr. Lieber’s optimism on saving the Tippecanoe river and creating dong its entrancing serpentine shore line a park to extend throngh the fssr counties of Pulaski, Fulton, Marshall and Kosciusko, was based on tbe outcome of a recent meeting at Rochester when Fulton county citisens sought his aid to establish a park in that environ. The Indiana conservationist who king has desired to convert the upper Tippecanoe into a park, immediately suggested that machinery be set into motion to assemble in one large preserve, the beautiful water course, its hayous, swamp lands and marginal timber on either side for a distance Os 80 miles in the four counties. Asa result of this meeting a committee cf Fulton, Kosciusko and Marshall county citizens was appointed, headed by CUriin Myers, of Mentone as chairman, to care for the details and to further the movement among the citi-

zens of the four counties. Other members of the committee are Frank Harhett, Tippecanoe; Lou Grove, Telma; Dr. B. F. Overmyer, Leithers’ Ford; and Arthur Metzler of Rochester. In the opinion of Mr. Lieber the landowners would only be asked to give up a relatively small strip on each side of tl|e river, a minimum say of 25 feet to a maximum of a few hundred feet to take in all tbe marginal timber, the bayous and swamps that should be a part of this park. That giving this up in reality,, would result in an investment for reason their land contingent to a state reservation will increase in valpe, is evidenced by the rapidly mounting values of lands along river fronts already developed in many places throughout the country. Farmers with lands bordering such a park would soon see values rise because of a demand made on them for recreational purposes, Mr. Lieber contends. These contentions are further demonstrated in the development of lake shores, lakes proving their value to enhance adjacent property. Again, says Colonel Lieber, much of the land farmers would be asked to transfer is worthless for p- _ _■ ■ ...en pasure e a -lia agriculture, owing to its low swampy condition. The reasons for transforming this beautiful Indiana river into a state park are manifold. In the first place the Tippecanoe admittedly is one of the most beautiful of all mid-western streams. It Is by far the best advertised river outside of Indiana, and for many years has been widely known as an ideal fishing stream. The water is crystal clean and pure, and while tbe stream is not deep, as some rivers are measured, it rolls along over a grass and lichenmatted course, gliding through remnants of virgin forests and meandering by rich meadowlands, presenting as rustic and primitive a scene for miles along its alluring shores as ever confronted the sturdy pioneer seeking to establish a home in the original timber-clad Hoosierland. Mr. Lieber „ points out that this graceful, entrancing little river and -its marginal timbered shore line offers the last big opportunity for Indiana to establish a large river park. And such a park, he contends, offers unlimited possibilities for continuation of the important work how being done by the division of forestry, division oj flsh and game, The Indiana Fish, Game and Forest League, Izaak Walton League, the Audubon Society, Indiana Nature Study Club and kindred organizations. A Tippecanoe River park is as important how in Indiana’s state park chain as was Dunes Park which gave us that broad beach along Lake . Michigan’s wild shores and opportunity tor inquiring vacationists to explore the sandy hinterlands. a river park would bring to the four countle.s named many thousand tourist visitors annually and provide the means cf much increased local prosperity, other than, solving the matter of creating a wonder park in a section of the state that is most accessible to automotive travel. The conservation . commission is whole-heartedly behind this Tippecanoe project, Mr. Lieber declared, and is anxious for the' time when farsighted citizens of that part of the state will turn it over to be properly developed and serviced, so it may take place in the great Hoosier park chain rapidly reaching national importance.
