Large Corps of Experts
Are at work Compiling
Statistics
WASHINGTON, Si'jit. 30. The first
returns to the national conservation
commission show that liule .Sam is
making fine hoiidway with his inventory
of nutural resources. It is perhaps a
kitfgt'r jb than he at first suspected,
but indirutions are that he is going to
gt't through it in good time. Very like
ly it has cut short the vacation plans
of some of his best helpers, but there's
been no complaint. His corps of inves
tigators, statisticians, experts and sci
entists have buckled down closely to
the work all summer.
rn)uirics have been going out from
this and that government office by the
thousand. They have gone to special
agents in the field, to government sta
tions here and there, to township as
sessors, to manufacturers, to lumber
dealers, to railroad and steamboat com
panies and to farmers. The chiefs of
the government bureaus have been
wanting to know about lauds farm
lauds, timber lands, mineral lands,
about crops and crop production; about
swamp and overflow lands; about irri
gation; about navigation how far the
use of our inland waterways has de
creased and the reason for the decrease;
the cost of water traffic as compared
with railroad rates; the use of water
power and its possibilities; about all
phases of the forests and lumber; about
how much of minerals we have left and
the probable duration of the mineral
supply, and about livestock and game
and fish.
Great Interest.
.Since the governors and the great
national organizations have shown so
gnat an interest in the couservat ion
of resources the movement has spread
all over the United States. Now state
conservation commissions are reported
to the national conservation commis
sion nt the rate of three or four a week
and large national organizations are
rapidly coming forward with conserva
tion committees of their own. The
conservation movement may be said
now to be firmly established. All the
government bureaus are rapidly push
ing work on the inventory of resources
in order that a preliminary report may
be made to the national conservation
com mission at its meeting in Wash
ington, Tuesday, December 3. One
week later, Tuesday, December S, the
governors of the states and territories
or their representatives will meet in
Washington with the commission. Al
ready, although the invitation has not
yet been issued, the governors of some
12 or .15 states and torriturios havo an
nounced their intention to be present al
the me.;-ting. Among these are (iov
ernor Krear of Hawaii and Governor
lloggatt of Alaska.
Movement Non-Partisan.
That t he conservation movement is
absolutely non-partisan is shown in the
vigorous declarations in the platforms
of both leading political parties in fa
vor of conservation of natural resources.
Mr. Bryan, who spoke at the govern
ors ' conference, has declared himself
strongly iu favor of conservation, and
Mr. Tuft, in his speech of acceptance,
went on record as an advocate of the
movement. It is a question on which
the American Federation of Labor and
the Nntiounl Association of Manufac
turers agree. Justices of the supreme
court of the I'nited States have written
President lioosevelt expressing unquali
fied approval of the movement to save
the national's natural wealth, and Car

LOW PEACH PRICES
DOMINATE IN PORTLAND
The Telegram of September 9 has the
following regarding the peach market
in Portland:
What peaches will be worth tomorrow
is a matter of speculation on Front
street today. Lower prices than have
prevailed thus far this season are inev
itable, for the supply when the trade
opens in the morning will bo by far the
heaviest of the season, but how far the
prices will drop remains to be seen.
Since Saturday at least five carloads
of the frfuit has been received from
various parts of this state and Washing
ton, and at the opening tomorrow the
chances are that there will be seven or
eight cars on hand. The two-holiday
period is the disturbing factor in the
peach market. Buying was on a light
scale Saturday, for dealers were natur
ally averse to currying heavy stocks
over two days, and while receipts have
been large since Saturday morning, the
outward movement of the fruit has been
of smalt proportions.' Today there was
littlo doing beBides supplying the wants
of the peddlers.'
Hut while the supply tomorrow will
be large, there is little doubt that the
demand will bo the heaviest of tho sea
son, and this may kop the market from
going to pieces. Immense quantities of
the fruit were turned over to tho hucks
ters today, second grade and inferior
stock for the most part, and the bulk of
the fruit thus disposed of 'moved at a
very low figure, some of it at 30 and
40 cents a box.
Dealers today were not inclined to
quote prices on the best grade peaches
for there was practically no business
doing with the regular local trade, but
it is altogether probable that prices for
the best tomorrow will be at least 10 to
20 cents lower than the quotations for
the past two weks.
Craw fords will comprise the built of
the offerings for tho week, and the sea
son for this sort will practicalty como to
an end this week. It ies understood
that no further carload lots are to be
received. Elbert a9 and Muirs are now
coming iu freely, from Oregon and
Washington points, and there will be
plenty of these all week.
SHOT LIFELINE ASHORE;
NEARLY KILLED SHOPMEN
PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 10. Louis
Illnck, grst mate on the steamship Ro
anoke, who is under arrest on the odd
charge of shooting a lifeline ashore
while the vessel was moored in the river
and scaring the wits out of a dozen
shopmen a mile away, will try to con
vince the municipal court that the ma
chine used iu the operation should not
be classed as firearms. He is accused
of violating the law governing their
use within the city limits. The 10
pound projectile struck in the yards of
the O. It. & N. railroad, narrowly miss
ing three men and causing considerable
damage to the roof of tho pumping sta
tion 100 yards behind, where the men
were standing.
A deviation of a couple of feet in
its course might have killed one or more
of the workmen. A large hole was torn
in the roof of the pumping station.

SKATTLK, Wash., Sept. 10. Latimer
i Carter, under arrest here on a charge
of embezzling funds from the estate
j of George L. Douglas, of which he was
! trustee in Louisville, Ky., declared to
j day that the sum he appropriated was
! $.".0,000 instead of $60,01)0 as first re
j ported. Carter attributes his downfall
' to wheat. He says ho speculated in
that cereal nnd that when he was caught
short on the market his money was
wiped out.

Complete Table Showing
Cost of Covered Flume to
Bring Water to Medford
R. IF. Harris has completed his osti
mnto of tho cost of briniug water to
Mwlford from the Big Hiittu, n distance
of 4tf miles. The total cost to t tits city
as he estimates it will bo $-33,iS2.
Air. Harris' estilmito provides for a
covered flume, 3x3 feet and 30 miles
in length. The cost of tho flume, in
cluding the surveying, will amount to
$113,58:.'. Two miles of IS-im-h stool
pipe neoded iu the vicinity of Itrowns
boro will cost $-10,000, according to
his figures. This leaves a distance of
11 miles to be spanned by 18-inch wood
pipe, the cost of which would be $110,
000. Then allowing $20,000 for tho
reservoir nnd piping in the city, the
total reached is $233,582. .
A flume three feet wide and two feet
eight inches deep will carry 1000 min
ors' inches of water. Allowing 100
inches for leagake, the city would still
bo supplied with 100 miners' inches.
The estimate contemplates tho lumber
and braces all cut to the right length
at the mill.
Tho detailed estimate of Mr. Harris
is as follows:
Lumber, 1.782,000 feet at $15
per 1000 $ 20,730
Cover for flume, 540.(100 feet
at $15. per 1000 8,100
