news which Captain Kobson received
with considerable surprUe. . Ho said
there was no Investment which the
people might possibly make that would
give so large a return In due time.
Trained citizen soldiers constitute our
great hope, he said, since the policy
of the country Is to keep a mere hand
ful of a regular army. "I hope the
people of Oregon will not bo so short
sighted or so negligent of their duty
to the nation as to vote down a meas
ure ot that kind at their June elec

lown In history as the most notable
f its kind ever held In the United

osts and waterways. Is the subject
which will occupy the attention of the
f imous delegates during the three days

"lscus3lon is "the most weighty ques
tion now before the people of the
United States." Two sessions will be
leld eat.h day of the conference. '"'
President Roosevelt's first an
nouncement of ,the present conference

tdoress at Memphis on Uctober 3 last
while he was making his famous trip
'own the- Mississippi. The meeting
vas at first scheduled for January, but
'or various reasons It was postponed. .

.Vrence opened today.
Of the subjects outlined by the pres-;
ent for consideration, that of the
irovcmeiit of the nation's inland wa-
orways Is looked upon as the most!
nportant.
The Conversion of the Mississippi
Ivor Into a deep waterway will be '

Coupled with this are the saving oi j
he forests, the control of floods, the j
revcntlon of soil erosion and the con

experts of the department of agri
culture shows that thousands of acre?
of rich land alone the Missouri has
been carried away to the gulf.
Means of systematic Irrigation and
drainoge in the Far West without ex
haustinp: the streams will be sought.
Vnlform laws among the slates of
the west and southwest for the devel
opment of arid lands by the economl

One of the most Important ad
dresses of the conference will be that
of President James J. Hill of the
Great Northern railway, who received
a special Invitation from President
Roosevelt His subject will be "The
Relation Between Rail and Water
Transportation."
Mr. Hill's discussion inevitably will
leafl him to a consideration of the
sompctltlve relations between the rail
roads and the canals of the country,
and he is expected to touch upon the
significant revelations which recently
have been made through government
Investigations Into that subject. The
Internal waterways of the country al
ways have been an Important check on
railway freight rates. Now that the
freight business of America has grown
tinynnit' t, rnUrnsri It ttt TieeeSSSrV
that the Internal waterways should be
taken Into Important consideration.
