addressed the council, telling of his in
speetioii of the north tork of the Little

ed the city upon obtaining such a purr

ject of his visit was to make sure thut
the city was to fulfill the conditions

that Nnveen & Co. would advance the

that 171 inches of water or about I!,

the difference due probably to cloudy

SJuto cooperation with tho unlionnl
consivation commission seems to uc
nn assured success, if the action of the
governors thus fi9Vun be taken us an
exumtde of what' is to follow. Both
the commission nnd The Whitu House
:ire greatly encouraged nlj.he responses
of tho governors who attended the
White House conference. Several gov
ernors have already appointed state
onservntioll commissions. Many others
have written the president declaring
their intention In do so ut an early
date, while still others promise to rec-
ommeud vigorously in their forlhcom J
ing messages to their respective legiala
tures the appointment of state coinmis
Mous nnd active cooperation with the
nationnl body.
Within less than 30 days after the
appoint ment of the national conserva
tion commission, four governors had ad
vised the president of similar state
action hv themselves. Governor f olk
of Missouri, who announced ut the
White House conference his intention
of namilig n commission to deal with
the natural resources of his state, has
carried out his intention, uud Missouri's
ommission is expected soon to be at
work.
Oregon lias Commission.
Ooveruor Warner of Mirhiguu bus el
plained to the president that Michigan
already has n forestry commission and
a commission of inquiry Into related
phases of natural resources, which be

Montana and Oregon wrre among the
first of the stales in the field with con
servatioli commissions. Under date of

Both Waters Are Pure.
Chairman Merrick of the water com
iniltee stated that neither he nor the
Iher members of the committee were
able to tell the difference between Was
son canyon nnd north fork wnter in
Inste or npponrauer when the two were
placed together in cups.
Tin' pipeline will not be difficult of
i-otisl ruction. Fioir classifications of
materials are eiicoonlered loose soil,
M,,ft rock, solid rock and hardpan. Con
tractor Itiole, who has completed luying
the city distributing system, stated that
if work was begun within a month the
pipeline could to completed by June I,
1000. Specifications will be rendy with
in 1.1 days.
Mr. Crowell thought that the com
iiiittee had followed tin pner cioirse
in keeping its actions secret, and the
question being called for, the motion
lo advertise for bids for the pipeline
was carried, all present voting in its
favor.
