IN NATIONAL CONSERVATION
Telegram From the President Read to
tbe Conservation Congress at
Seattle Today
Special to the Evening Review.
SEATTLE, Aug. 27. The follow
ing telegram from President Tuft was
read before the First National Con
servation Congress by Joseph N.
Teal, of Portland, who presided over
the session this morning:
"I congratulate you on the object
of your meeting, and sincerely hope
your deliberations will result in use
ful conclusions. You can count on
the earnest support of this adminis
tration of the policy of conservation
of natural resources by every mcain:
properly within federal jurisdiction.
I will give such recommendations to
congress as may best be adopted to
secure useful legislation toward the
same end.
'Signed, WM. H TAFT."
This telegram was greeted with ap
plause and is considered gratifying
by the men fighting for strong reso
lutions endorsing an active policy In
conservation of waterpowers, forests
and public lauds.
Chief ForeBter Pinchot spoke as
g follows:
P "Conservation has thrco primary
objects:
"First, to develop our natural re
sources so that this generation may
have Its full share and use of the
riches of the earth.
"Second, to prevent needless waste
and destruction of these resources, so
that future generations may likewise
have their just part in the material
foundation of prosperity. i
"Third, to see to it that the great '
natural resources so developed and
protected shall be used permanently
for Mhe welfare of the many instead of
for the profit of the few. 4
"The conservation idea covers a
wide field. It aims at the greatest
good of the greatest number for the

longest time. It is simple, definite
and direct. It advocates the use of I
foresight, prudence, thrift and in
telligence in public affairs for the:
same reason which leads us to ex
ercise these familiar virtues in our,
private business. It proclaims equally
the right and the duty of the people I
to take thought and to act for the j
benefit of the people. Therefore, in
a word, it demands the application of
common sense to the common prob
lems for the common good.
"The principles of conservation,
thus described, have a general ap
plication, the breadth and value of
which are very remarkable. The de
velopment of resources and oppor
tunities, the prevention of waste and
loss, the protection of the public In
terests by foresight, prudence, thrift
and intelligence all this applies
with clear and undeniable force to
the conservation of natural resources.
Hut it applies just as clearly and
undeniably to the conservation of
every interest and necessity of the
people.
"President. Roosevelt himself said
that the policy of conservation was
the most typical example of the poli
cies which bear his mark. Fruitful,
vital and beneficent, these policies ;
are both deeply needed and widely!
cherished by our people. As a na
tion wo are fortunate at this time (ns
I said in my recent speech at Spo
kane) in this fact above all others,
that the great man who gave his
name to these policies has for his
successor another great president,
whose administration Is most sol
emnly pledged to supjrort them.
For llnwuli Too.
Ralph S. Hosmer, of Hawaii, spoke
this afternoon and pointed out that
the Hawaiian Islands must be ren
dered practically self-sufficient
through the conservation of their
natural resources, In order that they
may be used as a base in time of
war in the Pacific ocean; calling at
tention to the necessity for the fod
eral government aiding this move
ment because of its strategic Import
ance to the mainland and demanding
fortifications for the islands so that
they may not be used against this
country ns n naval base. He pointed
out, that Hawaii herself has done al
ready for the conservation movement,
and declared that the resources of the
islands are too limited now and the
tax burden too heavy for the full
development of her agricultural lands
without help from the federal govern
ment. He urged the extension of the
reclamation act to Hawaii,
"The most practical way to secure
an Increase of desirable citizens in
Hawaii," he snid, "is through the re
clamation by irrigation of the arid
lands."

IViitlU'tim Man KustuiniMl a Broken
Ankle (irantN Puss lidy and
KluVrly Mini - llruiKl.
Three persons were injured, one
seriously, in the wreck of the Rose-
burg-.Marshfleld stage, enroute to
this city. Thursday evening about
7:30 o'clock, on Sugar Piue Moun
tain, 20 miles west. S. A. Gordon,
of Pendleton, sustained a broken
ankle; Mre. G. P. Dean, of Grants
Pass, sister-in-law of Mrs: Henry
Harlh. of this city, was painfully
bruised, as was an aged gentleman,
whose name was not learned, but
who is said to reside In Marshfleld.
The stage, drawn by four horses,
carried 11 passengers, and the driv
er was William McLean. During the
descent of the mountain, one of the
wheel horses, a high-spirited animal.
whose tail was tied to the single
trees, began kicking and got one
leg a-straddle of the outer tug. His
efforts to free himself excited the
other horses, and despite the efforts
of the driver, they broke into a wild
dash. Seeing that he could not stop
the horses, McLean reined them In
to a bank, and over went the stage.
By this time, however, all but two
of the passengers had jumped out.
The two exceptions were the elderly
gentleman and Mrs. Dean, who sus
tained the bruises. Gordon, who is
of heavy' physique, sustained the
broken ankle In jumping.
The three Injured people were
token to Reston, two miles from the
scene of the accident, where they
were attended to by Doctors Geo. E.
Houck and P. H. Vlncil. Returning
to this city in Dr. Houck's automo
bile, the doctors brought along Mr.
Gordon and placed him In Mercy
Hospital. Mrs. Dean is now nt Mrs.
Harth's homo and, at last accounts,
the third of the Injured trio was still
at Reston. Neither of the horses
was hurt, and the stage was damag
ed but slightly.
The drift of population away from
the rural districts and into the cities
Is not a feature of the west only.
Senator Dolllver, of Ohio, who 1b
something of a farmer himself, when
at home, notes the fact that even in
the greatest agricultural state of the
middle west the Bume movement is
on, and lie declares this condition to
be responsible for the the back
hrcuking prices for the necessities
of life. "The population is rushing
to the cities," he declares. "The
next census will show that fully 65
per tent of our population is now
ml, an. This leaves only 35 per
'-nt tu till the soil. Not enough
men are working on the farm to sup
ply the needs of the nation at a reas
onable price. This generation of
Americans are seeking the glare of
the cities. It insists on getting in
where the white lights gleam and
where there Is the screech and
scream of the mephltic playhouse."
And this brings up the suggestion
that if the "gentleman from Iowa"
and his astute associate, Secretary
Wilson, would devote'their energies
to demonstrating to the be-dazzled
and be-fooled young farmer boys
that they have a better chance of
health, happiness and success on the
farm than In the city, they would do
more for the nation than they could
in Increasing the yield of corn or find
ing a new market for it. And again
wo would suggest that when the vari
ous agricultural colleges sent out
demonstration trains for the enlight
enment of the rurnl population they
should Include in their equipment a
moving-picture outfit and a lecturer
who would give the rising generation
a few Dolnters as to what city life
actually offers and threatens. And
further, we suggest that the granges
f Oregon might for the time being
drop all other effort and devote
themselves with good results to the
problem of making rural life more
attractive and interesting to the hoys
and girls.. Ex.

distressing that It Interfered with my
business. I had many of the symp
toms of hay fever, and a doctor's pre
scription did not reach my case, and
I took several medicines wnicn seem

President Taft .Will Recom
mend in Message
INTEREST AT TWO PERCENT
Believes a Large Sum ol OutstandlDg
Two- Per Cent Bonds Conld
be Called In
BEVERLY. Mass., Aug. 25. Pres
ident Taft indicated In talks with
calers today that in his message to
Congress next December ho will
strongly urge the early establishment
of postal savings banks. The Presi
dent believes that several hundred
millions of dollars would be placed
at the Government's disposal through
postal savings banks.
It is suggested that this money
might well be employed in taking up
the (600,000,000 or 1700.000,000
outstanding Government 2 per cent
bonds, which have given much con
cern to the Treasury Department of
ficials. Already the bonds are sell
ing below par, and there Is fear of
further depression.
The President believed the postal
savings banks would appeal to the
timid persons who are afraid to trust
ordinary banks, and would rather get
the email Interest the government
would pay than place their money In
the regular savings banks.
By placing the Interest to be al
lowed by postal bankB at less than
2 per cent Mr. Taft Is convinced that
no hnrm would be done to ordlnnry
banks of commerce, for discriminat
ing persons who now patronize these
banks would not withdraw monev
drawing him interest and place it
under government care at half the
interest offered by ordinary savings
banks.
The President expressed hlmsolf
as unalterably opposed to a guaranty
of blank deposits. He declared ho
did not believe in tanking one set of
bankers responsible for nnother sot,

Versailles is about twelve miles from

Here was one of the great royal pal

especially by Louis XIV. and nil those
who catue after him. Its gardens and
forests are beautiful, nnd the old pal

museum nnd tilled with pictures and
statues, much of the old furniture for
merly used by the royal occupants re
maining ns when they used It. Some
of the most dramatic events of the
revolution occurred here. The entire
property belungs to nnd Is cared for
by the government of Franco and Is
open to the public without fees.
Twenty-five miles north of Parte is
