The first national conservation con
gress of the United States, which will
be held In tho auditorium of tho
Alaskn-Yukon-Pnciflc exposition, Se
attle. August 20-28, will bo ono of
the most interesting and Important
conference ever called in the west
Arrangements for this congress
have been made by the Washington
Conservation Association for the pur

for general conservation of western

son at the congress Include tho fol fel fol
eowing: Forestry, fisheries, good

Every feature that constitutes nn as
set to the people will be brought un
der consideration, and tho varlouB
topics will be handled by practluul
mon who understand tho require
ments of the west.
Conservation Is an old subject
brought into prominence becniiBO of
necessity. It originated In tho Gar
den of Eden when God conmnndod
our first parents to "Lie fruitful and
multiply, and replenish the earth, nnd
subdue It." Since that time mnn has
. held the stewardship of couaorvntlon.
nut .he spirit of waste and oxtrnva-
I gunce has entered upon tho scene
'nnd many have neglected to obey tho
I primal command to "replenish the
I earth." The result has been a call
for a general conservation oougross
to organize tha conservationists of,
the entire country, Riid offect general
organization.
Thoa engaged in ovory nveiiuo of
Industry in .e west should be par
ticularly interested in tho consorvn

vation, protection and porpotuntlon
of all natural resources for tho pres
ent and futuro generations. It means
the call of a halt to wnsto in ovory
field and the right use of all that
