Ickes and the Cascade Range National Park Plot
Spokane writer boake carter rails at Harold Ickes for proposing a cascade range national park that would carve a 5000 square mile corridor through Washington state.

He warns the plan could erase jobs, stall highways, and lock up natural resources for bureaucratic gain.
