Seattle, Aug. 28. The first na
tional .conservation congress closed
here this afternoon with a complete
victory for Glf ford Pinchot and his
followers In the support of the
Roosevelt policies of the conserva
tion of natural resources, tt was a
harmonious meeting until today,
when United States District Judge
Hanford of Seattle brought in mi
nority report In which he opposed
the contention of , the Pfnchot men,
"That, the waten rights of the coun
try belong to all the people and
should not be granted In perpetuity
to any Individual .or corporation." '
i Hanford contended that "private en
f terprlse" had been the' greatest power
1 In this country for the development
- of resources end pointed out that
'- through private enterprises the re
Si sources of the east" had been -put Into
t practical use, resulting In the general
prosperity of the country. He argued
i against any change In the present pol-
toy of the government, asserting that
i the western - states - had entered the
union under a compact that they should
7 have the same rights as the eastern
i states. . i ,
t Oovernor Pardee's Reply.
Former aovsraor Pardee - replied to
Banford la spirited address in which
I he said that "private gxeed" instead of
"private enterprise" was gobbling np
the pnhlio domain. When the vote was
taken It was shown that the Hanford
rviolntloa had been , lost and the 9ln-
chot resolution was adopted.
The last session this afternoon was
enlivened by the appearance of Secre
tary of the" Interior Ballinger,' who
spoke briefly. As uauinger entered ma
1
i
on the knob of the crest for an amuse
ment park, his lease covering a term
of 20 years, t The -remaining . II acres
belongs to various owners. The 14
acres leased (belongs to Dr. W. K. Smith,
Walter V. Smith and Mrs. Preaton
Smith, each of them holding a 1-8 In
terest !n the property.
Mr.-Duchamp leased the 1 acres In
July, 1908, the lease becoming effec
tive December 1, 1908. According to the
terms of the lease, Duchamp was to
pay 1 180 a month or $2180- a year for
the first year of his possession. Dur
ing the succeeding five years he Is to
pay an Increase of 10 per cent each year.
During the second five years he Is to
mp sum of $5000 a year for the
property, while during the last 10, years
no is kj pay ouiv annually.
. Mr. Puchamp places a high valuation
on his lease and has in turn subleased
to companies operating the scenic rail
way and other attractions on tha Crest.
Tt Is understood .that the owners of the
land also hold the property at a higher
figure than the assessment would indi
cate. Would Be Paying Investment.
Portland men who favor the acqui
sition of the property for city park
however, point out that the owners
could not expect te receive a radically
higher figure for their land than tha
valuation upon which they -are willing
to pay taxes. 'They contend, therefore,
that it would be a paying investment for
the city to secure the property now,
subject to tha lease,- at a normal figure,
since the Income coming to the prop
erty through th-e lease would pay the

i elals did not speak to each other at
the Spokane Irrigation congress. To
day, however, they shook hands for-
rnallv and Pinchot said:
"I am mighty glad you came, Mr.
Secretary."
"I am glad to see you," said Ballinger.
- That was tne sum total or tneir conversation.-
' j
. In his address Ballinger said:
' Ballinger Indorses Congress. -
' "t heartily indorse -what I read In
the papers today a having been sent
te this congress by President Taft,
What he says voices my sentiments.';
la . veiled reference to the recent
barges made against , him at the Spo
kane irrigation congress by Pinchot,
Ballinger said I
"It Is not alone by our declarations
that we are to be Judged and I would
prefer that my acts as a public offices
should apeak rather than any words."
Francis J. Heney, the San Francisco
graft prosecutor,' was in the hall and
was called to the rostrum by the dele
gates after Ballinger had been given a
rousing cheer. As If replying to the
secretary, Ueney aald;
1 am glad 'to know that tha secre
tary of the interior take such an In
terest In this - congress and that bo
wishes to be judged by bis acts. We
intend to Judge him by Us sots and not
by bis declarations.' The American pee.

The land would be reasonable at an
appropriate value-based on the' figures
from the assessor's office. It Is argued
and could be purchased at a lower figure
now than at any time In the future
For this reason It' la argued, the prop
erty should be purchased now in order
to save it to the city for tho future.
Great Interest is being awakened
among the representative men of the
city over the selection of Council Crest
as a city park and all those who discuss
the question, with few exceptions, are
In favor of Immediate action on the
