Washlngrton, May 13. Governor of
many states, senators, representatives,
cnblnet members, heads of great com
mercial and industrll bodies, labor
leaders, corporation presidents and
men dlntlnguiHhed in other walks of
life, assembled today In the East
Room of the White House as the
guests of President Roosevelt, and In
augurated a conference which Is like
ly to go down In history as the most
notable of Its kind ever held In the
United States. The conservation of
the natural resources of the country,
Its forests and waterways, Is the sub
Ject which will occupy the attention
of the famous delegates during the
three days of the meeting. President
Roosevelt presided at the opening of
the conference, declaring that the
subject under discussion Is the moat
weighty question now before the pco'
pie of tho United States. Two sessions
will bo held each day of the confer
encc.
President Roosevelt s first an
nouncement of the present conference
was made during the course of his
address at Memphis on October 3 last,
while he was making his famous trip
down tho Mississippi. The meeting
was at first scheduled for January,
but for various reasons It was post
poned. May IIP Permanent.
It Is believed that a permanent or
ganization, wider In Its scope and
more Influential than any similar
body, will he organized as a result of
the conference opened today.
Of the subjects outlined by the pres
ident for consideration, that of the
Improvement of the nation's Inland
waterways s looked upon aathe most
Important.
The conversion of the Mississippi
river into a1 deep waterway will be
taken up.
Coupled with this are the saving of
the forests, the control of floods, the
preservation of soil erosion and the
conservation of the supply or 'coal,
Iron and other mineral resources.
Special attention will be given to soil
erosion by the Missouri river and Its
tributaries. Investigation by the ex
perts of the department of agriculture
shows that thousands of acres of rich
land along tho Missouri has been car
ried away to the gulf.
Sywuwaile Irrigation. ,
Means of systematic Irrigation and
drainage In the far west without ex
hausting the streams will be sought.
Uniform laws among the states of
the west and southwest for the devel
opment of arid lands by the economi
cal use of the streams will be urged.
One of the most Important addresses
of the conference will be that of Presl
dent James J. Hill of the Great Nor
thern railway, who received a special
Invitation from President Roosevelt.
His subject will be "The Relation Be
tween Rail and Water Transporta
tion." Mr. Hill's discussion Inevitably will
lead him to a consideration of the
competitive relations between the
railroads and the canals of the coun
try, and Tie is expected to touch upon
the significant revelations which re
cently have been made through gov
ernment Investigations Into that sub
ject. The Internal waterways of the
country always have been an Import
ant cheek on railway freight rates.
Now that the freight business of
America has grown beyond the rail
roads, it Is necessary that the internal
waterways should be taken Into Im
portant consideration.
Notable SM'akern.
Other notable addresses will be
made by William Jennings Bryan, An
drew Carnegie and John Mitchell,
former president of the United Mine
Workers of America. All of the vis
iting governors will take part In the
general discussion, following the pre
sentation of reports by numerous ex
perts on the various subjects under
consideration. Governor Hughes of
New York Is in attendance, and Is ac
companied by President Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia universi
ty, and President, Jacob Gould Schur
man of Cornell university, two of thi
best known educators of the country.
In regard to the purposes of tho
conference President Roosevelt said:
"The natural resources of the terri
tory of the Unite, States were nt th
time of the settlement, rlrher, more
varied and more available than those
of any other equal area on the surfnci
of the earth. The development of thco
resources has given us, for more than
a century, a rate of Increase In popu
latlon and wealth undreamed of by the
men who founded our government,
and without parallel In histeKy It Is
obvious that the prosperity which we
now enjoy rests directly upon these
resources. It Is equally obvious that
the vigor and success which we desire
and foresee, for this nation in the fu
ture must have this as the ultimate
material basis.
Must Look Ahead.
"In view of these evident facts It
seems to me that for tho country to
take account of Its natural resources
ntnl to Inquire how long they are
likely to last. We are prosperous
now; we should not forget that It will
be Just as Important to our descend
ants to bo prosperous In their time as
It Is to us to be prosperous In our
time.
"It Is evident (hit the abundant
natural resources on which the wel
fare of this nation rests are becoming
depleted, and In not a few cases are
already exhausted. This Is true of all
portions of the United States; It Is es
pecially true of the longer settled com
munities of the east. The gravity of
the situation must, I bellive, appeal
with special force to the governors
of the states because of their close
relations to the people and their rv
sponslblllty for the welfare of their
communities.
"Facts which I cannot gainsay force
me to believe that the conservation of ij'lic
i
our natural resources Is the most
weighty question now before she peo
ple of the United States. If this Is bo
the conference, which 'is the first" of
Its kind, will be among the most im
portant gatherings in our history In
Its effect upon the welfare at all our
people."

Wherein a drove of wallowing swine

Whose banquet shocked the nostril and

One glistening mass of roses pure and
WitlTdewy buds 'mid dark green foliage
nursed; ... . . .
