This will benefit not only those individuals who should be bene fitted, but It will also benefit the peo ple generally. Let the Government build the canals for agriculture as well ss for com-mer.ee.

"I am not of your party, but I am of your announced faith In this matter, and I shall be anxious to support you In such policy. mWNAL s GREAT PEOPLE FOR CONSERVATION Policy of Suspicion, However, Cer tain to Break Down System it Persisted In Real Con servation Is Defined, OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash In frt on, Jan. 18. Senator Borah, of Idaho, has written Governor Wilson, congratulating him upon his stand on the conservation question, as set forth in bis recent speech at Chicago, and promising him his hearty co-operation in any effort the next Administration may make to weed out the vagaries that have made conservation objection' able to the West, and to substitute a practical conservation that will aid in the development of the public land states. Coupled with his words of commen datlon on Governor Wilson's declara tions in favor of a practical conserva tion policy. Senator Borah submits a new proposition, and asks the co-opera- tlon of the President-elect in securing the adoption of a policy whereby the United States Government will in the future reclaim the desert lands of the West, and turn them over to home- seekers without cost. In other words, he advocates placing the work, of re clamation on the samo basis as the present work pf river and harbor lm provement. Present WukatM Exposed. In his letter to the President-elect Senator Borah says: "Permit me to congratulate you most sincerely upon your remarks upon the subject of conservation at Chicago. The papers report you as saying 'that a policy of reservation is not one of con servation,' and, further, that 'the Gov ernment at Washington has been sus picious of everybody who approached it for water power rights and privi leges of conservation generally.' With remarkable insight and with your usual felicity and precision of expression you have expressed the weakness of our present conservation policy. "The people of the West, as a people, are not opposed to the theory of con servation, and they are not opposed to any intelligent, practical application of the principles of conservation. They have a keen desire to see the great natural resources of that country con served and protected from waste and monopoly. But they do not believe that in order to withhold these re sources from monopoly it is also neces sary to withhold them from the people. They are not willing to accept the proposition that we have become so impractical and fatuous in our admin istration of government that the only way to protect a thing is to lock It up. They believe neither In the monopoly of Individuals nor the monopoly of the Government. They are opposed to the 'suspicious,' contentious, procrastinat ing method of applying conservation principles which is resulting In driving the homesteader from the desert and forcing him into bankruptcy ana pov erty. People Mast Get Benefit. "They .look upon as narrow, short sighted and brutal the Indiscriminate suspicion placed upon every settler who comes In touch with the public lands. They have so far been unable to see either the beauty or the benefits of tying up 200,000.000 acres of timber lands and then selling the timber under such terms and conditions that when it reaches ' the people the price paid is the same as the price paid to the trust from whom we are withholding so they say. If the people do not get the benefit of this policy, conservation will not long survive. The people of the West do not object to the timber lands being kept in the reserves, but they believe it unjust and unfair and ill advised to include in the reserves thousands and thousands of acres of splendid agricultural land upon which the god of nature has never been able in all these years to grow timber. They think that upon these lands homes should be built and that it does not require a regiment of spies to watch the settler while he does It. "We thank you for this word of en lightened and practical statesmanship. If It is carried out you will not only find in your support the people of the West, but you will have greatly ad vanced the cause of real conservation itself. It will Inevitably brci'k down unless the present theoretical and sus picious and Impractical policy has an end. The people of the West will wel come and gladly support you in a policy which protects our natural resources from waste and monopoly. But they will expect at your hands at the same time an opportunity for the West to develop along legitimate and honest lines and they would like for you to feel that all the honest men in the I'nited States are neither In the bureaus at Washington nor east of the Missis sippi. Tank One fnr Government. "As this letter is written not with the expectation of occupying your time with a reply, permit me to suggest an other matter for your consideration. It will reach you during your Adminis tration. We have vast areas of desert land in the West now being slowly re claimed and yet to be reclaimed. When these lands are reclaimed they make most valuable, productive lands. Unless the Government reclaims them they will lie there indefinitely, idle and worthless. The cost of reclaimtng'them is going to prove too expensive for these men in need of homes the very poor. There Is no blessing which this Government could bestow upon the homeless comparable to that of build ing at its own expense the great canals necessary to place the water within reach of these lands and then throwing them open to homeMead entry to set tlers who are willing to go there and spend the time and energy and endure the hardships to reclaim them. The expense of building these ditches should be borne by the Government it self. We are putting millions Into war. ships which rot ttpon the sea while the biennial spasm of a Japanese war comes ' and goes. We are putting millions into our rivers and harbors and nonreturn to the Treasury is expected except that which comes from the general growth of commerce. We are putting millions Into a great canal with no specific re turn to the Treasury, and it begins to look as .If it were apparently for the leneflt and advantage of foreign na tions. Why not put these lands, which are now the property of the Govern ment, ln such condition as to make them available for homes? "I'a and Benefit" Invoked. "IS this is done those can afford to take them who have only their energy and time with which to reclaim them. If this is not done they must Inevitably lie in Idleness or drift into the hands of those who have the means' with which to speculate. If there Is any one thing above all others for which we CITY PETITIONS CONGRESS Vancouver Council Asks Easier Terms on Carline Extension. VANCOUVER, Wash Jan. 18. (Spe cial.)

On its organization in 1908 the young women who were its memoers ostmeu upon Kappa Kappa uamma as the goal for which they should strive. Im mediately they applied for a charter to . i. i .nl1n.ii Although without much hope of early success, owing to the conservatism ot tne national or ganization and the limitations of the field at the University of Oregon at that time. However, in all the" long period of qeiay wnicn iuuuwcu, mo young women never save up their am bition to wear the key. which- is the badge of. their chosen sorority. Students Have Rejoicing-. The usual Investigations into the standing of the local society were car ried on by the National body. These Included visits and Inquiries into the scholarship and other attainments of the young women by the National of ficers. Meanwhile the university stu dent body had become skeptical con cerning the chances of the girls for the realization of their ambition. The an nouncement last Fall that the charter had teen granted was, therefore, re ceived with rejoicing by the entire coj. lege. The advent of the new sorority was also welcomed by the faculty of the university, for the Greek letter organi zations here have long been conceded to be of great advantage to the col lege. In addition to the .other bene fits which they confer on their mem bers, they solve an actual economic problem. Were it not for the fraternity and sorority houses there would not be accommodations In Eugene for even a part of the student body. The uni versity' has been helpless In coping with the situation on account of Its limited dormitory facilities. Particu larly is this the case with the young women, for Mary Spillar hall, the only girls' dormitory maintained by ' the university, is not much larger than a private dwelling. Before the advent of Kappa Kappa Gamma there were four National col legiate sororities, one National musical Borority and three local clubs for young women, which maintained homes here. The other National collegiate sorori ties. In the order of their entrance, were: Gamma Phi Beta 1908). Chi Omega (1909),- Kappa Alpha Theta (1909) and Delta Delta Delta (1910). Mu Phi Epsilon, the National musical sorority, was installed in 1911, but did not occupy a house until the present year. The three local sororities were Gamma Delta Gamma (1908), which be came Kappa Kappa Gamma, Lambda Rho (1909) and Beth Reah (1910). Charter Members Number Ten. The new chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma Is called Beta Omega. It was installed with ten charter members and ten active members, making a total of 20 initiates.
