fere Oregon dust to coal dust,
and Oregon fruit trees to corn
stalks.
Mr. Atwell gave an address be
fore the congress, favoring home
rule for natural resources. He
believes the people o f the North
west are in a far better position
to properly conserve its resourses

ses, wdsely conserved and utaliz-
ed. should be used in lessening
the burden of taxation in the
state where the resourses are lo
cated.
