The second day was opened by
Chief Forester l'inchol who spoke as
follows:
"Conservation has three primary
objects: First To develop our na
tural resources so that this genera
lion nmv have its full share and use
of tlio riches of the earth. Soeouil
To prevent needless waste unit des
traction of these resources, ho that
future generations may likewise have
their just pnrt in the material foun
datioiiH of prosperity. Third To see
to it that the gront liutiirnl resources
so developed nnd protected shall be
used permanently for the welfare of
the many instead of the profit of tho
few.
Covers Wide Field
"Tho conservation idea covers a
wide field. It aims at the (rrealowl.
Rood of tho greatest number for the
longest lime. It is simple, definite
and direct. It advocates tho use of
foresight, prudence, thrift nnd inlel
ligeuco in public affairs for the same
masons which loud us to exercise
these familiar virtues in our private
business. It proclaims equally tho
right and tho duly of the pimple to
tako thought and to act for the bene
fit of tho people. Thorofore, in a
word, it demands the application of
common sense to the common prob
lems for tho common good.
"Tho principles of conservatism,
thus described, hnvo a geuernl appli

which are very remarkable. The de
velopment of resources and opportu

loss, the protection of tho puhlio in

deniably to the conservatism of every
interest nnd necessity of the people
The conservation point of view bus
been education ns 'it is in forestry.
It npplies to the body ioIitic ns it
does to tho oarth and its minerals.
Municipal franchises nre ns property
within its sphere as franchises for
water power. It is as-patent to the
subject of tho good roads as to that
of waterways, and the training of
our people in effective, citizenship is
as germane to it as the hicrciiso of
productiveness in our soils. Con
servntion, the application of common
sense to the cdmiunn problems for
the common good, will lead directly
to efficiency wherever it is given
control. We i.ve coining to see that
eonsevration will havo two great re
sults: To conserve tho natural, ro
soul ces which guiiruntoo our welfare,
nnd to lead our pcoplo to greater
wisdom and effeetiveups sin every de

outcome of conservation is national
efficiency.
"President Roosevelt himself said
thnt tho policy of conservation wns
the most typical example of tho pol
icies which bonr his mark. Fruitful,
vital and henefienl, these policies nro
both deeply needed nnd widely cher
ished by our people. As a nnlion wo
nre fortunate nt this tinie (as I said
in my recent speech nt Spokane), in
this fact above all others, that tho
great man gave his name to these pol-
icies has for his successor another

What It Believes
The Pacific States Telephone Com
pany by the installation of its mod

strong bolicf in Mcdford's future.
The huge central energy switch
board contains six boards, each cap
able of. handling 500 subscribers.
Rooin is also provided for four ad
ditional boards, which will be in
stalled ns they nro needed.
In comparison with this only five
boards wero installed in Ashland and
in Grants Pass.
With a plant capable of handling
.lOOO, subscribers atv present and
which can be increased without trou

has in Medford's future is strongly
portrayed-.
The new system is a great im

Sueh was the answer of the grand
exalted ruler of the Elks to a request .
of the local. "Hello Bill" boys, that
they might hnve the local lodge in
stituted on September 15. Some time
ago it became known that District
Deputy W. S. Levins, of Baker City,
would be unable to be present on
September 15, and at once the local
boys got busy on the wires and the
telegram received this morning by T.
E. Daniels sets all fears at rest re
garding any possible postponement of
the big doings. In all probability the
special deputy will be a past exalted
ruler of some nearby lodge, either
Ashland or Roseburg.
There will be a meeting of the
lodge this evening at which all local
members of the order are requested
to be on hand. Among the matters
to be considered is the question as to
the date of the "big doings," the
celebration. These stunts may be
pulled off when the lodge is instituted
or go over until the first class is put
through. But there is no longer any
doubt but that the lodge will be in
stituted on September 15.
