at first suspected, but Indications nro
that he 1h going to get through It In
pood time. Very likely It has cut
short the vacation pinna of noma of
his best helpers, but there has been
no complaint. His corps of Investi
gators, statisticians, experts and scl
enlists have buckled down closely to
The work all summer.
Inquiries have been going out from
this nnd that government office by
. the thousand. They have gone to
special agents In the field, to the gov
ernment stations here and there, to
bureaus of statistics all over the
country, to county clerks, to town
ship assessors, to manufacturers, to
lumber dealers, to railroad and steam
boat companies, and to farmers.
The chiefs of the government bu
riaus have been wanting to know
about lands farm lands, timber
lands, mineral lands, about crops and
crop production; about mvamp and
overflow lands; about Irrigation;
about navigation how Tar the use
of our Inland waterways has decreased
and the reason for the decrease; the
cost of water traffic as compared with
railroad rates; the use of water pow
er and Its possibilities; about ail
phases of the forests and of timber
and lumber; about how much of min
erals we have left and the probable
duration of the mineral supply, and
about livestock and gsme and fish.
This Is only the most hurried kind
of general sum-up of the "Schedule
of Inquiries" of the national conser
vation' commission. Just what 'is
ri ally Is can be seen only by studying
a copy of this most unusual docu
ment, the "Schedule," on which I'ncle
Sain Is basing the first Inventory he
ever attempted to mok-' of his natural
wealth. It can be obtained by writing
a letter to Thomas n. Shlpp, secre
tary of the national conservation com
mission, forest service, Washington,

Tile conservation commission also
M'ts out "Hulletlns of Progress" which
show Just how rapidly the conserva
tion movement, started at the White
House conference of governors, Is go
ing forward. These niso may be ob
tained from the secretary.
Since tin1 governors and the great
national organizations have shown so
great an Interest In the conservation
of resources the movement has spread
oil over the I'nlteil States. New state
conservation commissions are report-land Jl.
ed to the national conservation com
mission at the rate of three or four
a week and large national organiza
tions are rapidly coming forward with
conservation committees of their own.
The conservation movement may he
said now to be firmly established. All
the government bureaus are rapidly
pushing work on the Inventory of re
sources in order that a preliminary
report may be made to the national
conservation commission at Its meet
ing In Washington, Tuesday, Deccm

One week later, Tuesday, Decem

Invitation lias not yet been Issued,
That the conservation movement l
absolutely nonpartisan Is shown In
the vigorous declarations In the plat
forms of both leading political parties
In favor of conservation of natural re
source. Mr. Bryan, who spoke at
the governors' conference, has de
clared himself strongly In favor of
conservation and Mr. ,Taft, In his
speech of acceptance, went on record

making provision for future genera- j

of the country.
The work of compiling the great
mass of material resulting from the
inquiries sent out by the different
government bureaus will undoubtedly

requiring expert knowledge and pe
culiar ability.
For this task President Roosevelt

IMP ORT ANT
In our announcement of yesterday we failed to state
that we had decided to place only a limited amount of
acreage on sale at the current prices, a further Increase
going Into effect after the disposition of this allotment.
Our terms will still remain the same, making It conven
ient for anyone to easily take care of their land.
When you consider that we are favored with a perfect
elevation for the growing successfully of til fruits and
vegetables, alfalfa, etc., that we are within 12 hours of
the main markets of the great northwest, favored by a
climate that assures an earlier season than Yakima or
Hood River, and with a depth of soli, by test, varying
from 15 feet to 70 feet, these lands are bound, with the
development of the next few years, to be the richest In
In this country.
There is no sophl-itry to this, but plain fact, proved by
the history of developed Irrigated sections. THIS IS THE
TIME TO BUY. LOW PRICES, EASY TERMS.

Oklahoma City. Okla., Sept. 10.
Newspaper publicity as a cure for
drunkenness has been succesfully
tried In Oklahoma City, and tho new
method of reforming habitual souses

point of being evicted from tho hovel
