' The president points out ' that the re
sources of the country are so closely
related that their uses may be-and
' vhould be coordinated. Thus, the de

sources because water transportation
requires ls coal and less Iron ..than

dicious development of the forests In

Orand enema of Cooperation.
' No Oregon man has been -ven a po

Chamberlain, however, has already com
plied with the recommendations ' in
cluded in the declaration of -the-go v-
rnnri mnA .nnnlntAii mmmliilAn rtt
S the state o Oregon. It was announced
r mrr m tlm Awn. rnrnmiintcUnn, will
be addressed to the governors of Idaho
and Washington at once to solicit the
cooperation of the executives of those
states.
, The states will cooperate not only
' with the federal government but with
each other in groups of three or more
as . their physical resources ' mav be
related. .. Not only will other commis
sions be cooperated with but all other
agencies, including societies that have
for their object the conservation of the
great natural resources or the states.
President Roosevelt says the natural
resources of this country are being con
sumed and destroyed at a rate which
' threatens them, with exhaustion and
- upon the conservation of these resour
, ces depends the. future improvement of
the people and the national prosperity,
"It will be the duty of the president,"
ays Mr. Roosevelt in his communica
tion, "to lay before the congress-information
and recommend to their consid
eration necessary and expedient legisla
tion. It will bet the duty of the federal
government to accept the Invitation, of
le states to cooperatewith them.
"It should ever be kept In mind that
the life of the nation depends absolute
ly on the natural resources that have
already made the nation great. We
should Intend to use them, but so to
use them as to conserve them.. - No
effort should be made to limit wise and
proper development and application of
, these, resources; every effort should be
made to prevent destruction, to redupa
waste and to distribute the enjoyment
of our natural wealth In such a way
as to promote the greatest good to the
. greatest numDer ror ine longest lime. ' ,
"The conference of governors brought !
, together men who are the direct upon
? eors for the well being of the states.
The dignity and autonomy of the states
should be preserved as well as their 1
independence. mere snouia DO no
break between the interests jf . the state
and the nation. . Hearty cooperation between-the
stats and national agencies
is essential to the permanent welfare
,. of the people." ' - -, ,.. ., i, ,. ,v-,,
' The commission is reaueeted to renorr
, before January 1, 1909. Two meetings
of the Oregon state commission have
already been held and the work is al
ready well under way.. - The governor
: . nas received reports of work end will

Newport to Make It $1,000
' Council and Brewers for
Laws' Strictness.
- . (Special Dispatch to The JoaraaL)
Newport,. Or., June It. By an ordl
nance ' introduced in the city council
Wednesday and which passed Its first
reading, : the license for the sals of
liquor in Newport Is fixed at $1,000,
The 'council was divided as to whether
or not a high license should ba imposed.
but when a vote was taken fou mem'
bers favored a thousand dollar license
against three who were in 'favor. of a
license. fee of not to exceed $600. The
ordinance win unoouotediy De enacted
with the higher figure included, as the
four members of the council who favor
it declare that they will not consent to
a, lower figure. ..- ... .
-. Ever since June 1, when the county
went -wet, saloon men from counties
that -went dry have been flocking into
Newport looking for locations. It was
the apparent danger of having the town
filled up with low-class saloons which
actuated the council in fixing the
license at a figure which will not only
increase the city's revenue but will lim
it the number of saloons. . - '"
The council insists that the stats law
regarding: Sunday closing; must be
strictly compiled with: that saloons
shall close at one o'clock at night, and
that there shall bs no gambling or riot
ous conduct. The license fee is made
a bond, forfeitable, together with the
license, for the slightest infringement
of the law. ;
The Oregon Brewers', association Is
backing the council up in this. In a
letter read at the council meeting the
association says this is the only coun
ty In the Untied States that ever went
wet after having once ' gone dry, and
they realize that this is their chance
to demonstrate that the saloon business
can be run decently, which is their
only chance of stemming the tide of
prohibition which promises , to sweep
over the entire state.
