THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SUNDAY, SEPT. 13 STUDYING WASTE OF NATURAL NATIONAL CONSERVATIVE COMMISSION MAKES PUB LIC ITS FIRST SCHEDULE WATERS, FORESTS AND LANDS Lands Are Wasted by Erosion," and by Bad Agricultural Methods, and Water Power is Lost to an Alarm ing Extent, it is Said. , WASHINGTON', Sept. ll-The national conservation commission has just made public the first of its sche dules on which the inventory of the country's natural resources is being conducted. It is plainly evident from the inquiries being sent out that the commission intends to run down waste fa all its varied forms and to devise some means to prevent it. This is ap parent in the general schedules to each f..the four sections of the commis sion waters, forests, lands, and min erals. For instance, the schedule rating to lands enquires into -waste of soil by erosion. That schedule also suggests waste through "bad agricultural me thods." The lands schedule likewise goes into waste in the carrying capac ity of the public range in the west The . section on waters is inquiring into how much land capable of irrigation is wasted by not being irrigated. More important still is its suggestive inquir ies tending to show that we are wast ing our water ways to an alarming ex tent by not using them as we should; perhaps the greatest form of waste brought out in the entire schedule is that relaing to waterpower. Two of the inquiries are as follows: "Are existing developed waterpow ers put to their full use? To what ex tent can coal be saved by the substi tution of water power?" Under the head of floodwaters, the commission enquires as "To what ex tent are floodwaters wasted. The minerals section of the com mission is seeking to find out "The nature and extent of waste in the mining, extraction and use of mineral products,M and "Methods of preventing. or lessening this waste." the commission is also conducting a census by correspondence to find out the common wastes in .the "Wood sing industries." The returns from the inquiries will form part of the report of the con servation commission. SYSTEMATIC SEARCH. Organized By Yale Man To Find Son Ex-Governor Andrews.

HBIlHnBT BOOK STORE Free Rulers and Blotters fort to find Charles Wilson Andrews, on of the late Charles H. Andrews, Governor, and later chief justice of the Supreme Court of Connecticut, Yale men of this city are making a canvass of the United States and Can ada. He was last seen here about February 11, when he left the llote Rreslin, since which time neither his Yatc comrades nor his invalid, mother, ! who lives in Litchiield, Conn., have ; heard anything from him. At the time he was suffering from rheumatism which induced melancholia. His friends believe he is wandering about the country and avoiding them that they may not be bothered by his troubles. According to the, plan mapped out the members of Mr. Andrews' classes in the university and the law school in this city and members of their clas ses and the Yale men generally, ask ing that they use every effort to find Mr. Andrws and care for him until his family can be notified. The work has been done quietly and though the police have been asked to help, the only notices sent out were confidential ones. BATHS VERSUS BOOKS. Moral Influence Of Cleanliness Ex- ceeds That of Literature. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Dr. W. H. Maxwell, city superintendent of schools, speaking at the American mu seum of Natural History last night before the Playgrounds Association of America, declared that the useful ness to the city is point of morality of the Carnegie public libraries was small compared with that which would accrue from a comprehensive system of public baths. "As I draw books for myself from a Carnegie library and watch the children of the public schools go there for reading matter," said he, "I bless the great iron master for what he has done for the intellectual im provement and recreation for this city and yet the usefulness from a moral and hygienic point of view of the Car negie libraries is small compared with the advantages that would flow from the benevolence of him who shall in crease the number of public school baths. "I know of no better way for Phil anthropists to promote the physical and moral welfare of the rising gen eration, their health, cleanliness and comfort, than by placing say $230,000 at the disposal of the board of educa- tion for the construction of shower j baths m all our school buildings in the poorer neighborhoods." u00cr sunup ana lype writer j Supplies see Lenora Benoit, Public ; Stenographer, 447 Commercial street A" FINE LOT OF FURNITURE IN! the best of condition; fine steel range, latest style sewing machine; every-! thing that is needed to furnish a good home; can be bought on time or will rent to desirable party; house is in center of city.
