SHOULD PROTECT RESOURCES NATURE'S GIFTS TO NATION MUST BE CONSERVED Subject of Vast Importance to the Future Welfare of the Country—Movement Endorsed by Governors At the suggestion of the Inland Waterways Commission, in order more fully to consider the far-reaching problems of water conservation, the President, early last winter, invited the governors of the states and territories to a conference in Washington to consider the whole question. Men of national prominence, familiar from experience in business life with the four great classes of resources—the forests, waters, mines and the soil—were also invited to the conference. The conferees met in the White House May 13-15, 1908, and before adjournment the governors signed the following: Declaration of Principles We, the governors or the states and territories of the United States of America in conference assembled, do hereby declare the conviction that the great prosperity of our country rests upon the abundant resources of the land chosen by our forefathers for their homes, and where they laid the foundation of this great nation. We look upon these resources as a heritage to be made use of in establishing and promoting the comfort, prosperity, and happiness of the American people, but not to be wasted, deteriorated or needlessly destroyed. We agree that our country's future is involved in this; that the great natural resources supply the material basis upon which our civilization is legislatures of the seas within the limits of and with their jurisdiction. We declare the conviction the use of the national independent states are ent and bound together mutual benefits, responsibilities. We agree in the wisdom conferences between members of congress, and earnors of states on the one hand of our natural resources; on the other hand of continued cooperation on the linse suggested; and end we advise that from time, as in his judgment wise, the president callers of states and members greens and others into cohesion. We agree that further advisable to ascertain condition of our natural and to promote the common same; and to that emend the appointment by a commission on the tion of natural resources rate with each other and similar commission of government. We urge the continual tension of forest policies secure the husbanding of our diminishing timber prevention of soil erosion protection of headwaters, and tenance of the purity ability of our streams.' We that the private owners est lands entails respond to the interests of all the we favor the enactment o ing to the protection am ment of privately owned. We recognize in our valuable asset of the pea United States, and we We look upon these resources as a heritage to be made use of in establishing and promoting the comfort, prosperity, and happiness of the American people, but not to be wasted, deteriorated or needlessly destroyed. We agree that our country's future is involved in this; that the great natural resources supply the material basis upon which our civilization is to depend, and upon which the perpetuity of the nation itself rests. We agree, in the light of the facts brought to our knowledge and from information received from sources which we can not doubt, that this material basis is threatened with exhaustion. Even as each succeeding generation from the birth of the nation has performed its part in promoting the progress and development of the republic, so do we in this generation recognize it as a high duty to perform our part; and this duty in large degree lies in the adoption of measures for the conservation of the natural wealth of the country. We declare our firm conviction that this conservation of our natural resources is a subject of transcendent importance which should engage unremittingly the attention of the nation, the states, and the people in earnest co-operation. These natural resources include the land on which we live and which yields our food; the living waters which fertilize the soil, supply power, and form great avenues of commerce; the forests which yield the materials for our homes, prevent erosion of the soil, and conserve the navigation and other uses of the streams; and the minerals which form the basis of our industrial life, and supply us with heat, light and power. We agree that the land should be so used that erosion and soil wash shall cease; and that there should be reclamation of arid and semiarid regions by means of irrigation' and of swamp and overflowed regions by means of drainage; that the waters should be so conserved and used as to promote navigation, to enable the arid regions to be reclaimed by irrigation, and to develop power in the interests of the people; that the We recognize in our water valuable asset of the perilous United States, and we see the enactment of laws local conservation of water re irrigation, water supply, navigation, to the end that table and source stream brought under complete fully utilized for every We especially urge on congress the immediate a wise, active and thorough way policy, providing for improvement of our stricte conservation of their required for the uses owe and the protection of tha of our people. We recommend the en laws looking to the prev waste in the mining and of coal, gas, oil and other with a view to their wise tion for the use of the to the protection of humi the mines. Let us conserve the of our prosperity. HOUSE-HEATING BO Government Tests Upon Briquets as Fuel The combustion of fuel heating boilers has been subject of a series of by the United States Geovey, forming a part of plan for determining more and more economical methodizing the fuel resources otry, in order to prevent u waste and thus conserve able supply. In beginning periments it was realized of the steam boilers of ord used for heating private h installed and operated un tions unfavorable to fuel e We agree that the land should be so used that erosion and soil wash shall cease; and that there should be reclamation of arid and semiarid regions by means of irrigation and of swamp and overflowed regions by means of drainage; that the waters should be so conserved and used as to promote navigation, to enable the arid regions to be reclaimed by irrigation, and to develop power in the interests of the people; that the forests which regulate our rivers, support our industries, and promote the fertility and productiveness of the soil should be preserved and perpetuated; that the minerals found so abundantly beneath the surface should be so used as to prolong their utility; that the beauty, healthfulness, and habitability of our country should be preserved and increased; that sources of national wealth exist for the benefit of the people, and that monopoly thereof should not be tolerated. We commend the wise forethought of the President in sounding the note of warning as to the waste and exhaustion of the natural resources of the country, and signify our high appreciation of his action in calling this conference to consider the same and seek remedies therefor through cooperation of the nation and the states. We agree that this cooperation should find expression in suitable action by the congress within the limits of and coextensive with the national jurisdiction of the subject, and, complementary thereto, by the vey, forming a part of plan for determining more and more economical methods of utilizing the fuel resources on try, in order to prevent waste and thus conserve able supply. In beginning periments it was realized of the steam boilers of order used for heating private houses installed and operated unities unfavorable to fuel ecology prevention, and were made with briquets, washed coal, so as mine what is to be expected fuels in a representative plant, properly installed. A report on the results experiments, by D. T. Raun just been published by the Bulletin 366, copies of which available for free distribution. The tests were begun in 1906, with the house-heat installed to heat the bulb cupied by the structural laboratory of the survey at both briquets and coal burn. After these tests were way, it was thought advisable conduct some additional to more constant conditions to be maintained at this plant carload of briquets was then ped to the engineering station of the university at Urbana, Ill., where two boilers of a size common in residences were available were made with this Urbana in June and July, Matures of the several states agree on the limits of and coextensive jurisdiction. We declare the conviction that in one of the national resources our dependent states are interdependence bound together by ties of mutual benefits, responsibilities and agreements in the wisdom of futureences between the President, governors of congress, and the governor of states on the conservation of natural resources with a view continued cooperation and action be linsse suggested; and to this we advise that from time to time as in his judgment may seem the president call the governor of states and members of con- and others into conference. We agree that further action is able to ascertain the present condition of our natural resources to promote the conservation of time; and to that end we recommend the appointment by each state commission on the conserva- tion of natural resources, to cooperate with each other and with any commission of the federal government. We urge the continuation and ex- tension of forest policies adapted to the husbanding and renewal diminishing timber supply, the protection of soil erosion, the pro- cess of headwaters, and the main-tenance of the purity and navigation of our streams.' We recognize the private ownership of forests entails responsibilities in interests of all the people, and for the enactment of laws look at the protection and replace- ment of privately owned forests. We recognize in our waters a most asset of the people of the States, and we recommend settlement of laws looking to the Bulletin 366 both series of tests are described, and details of tests made at Urbana on three standard fuels, in the spring of 1908, are also presented. The briquets and coal burned in the tests at St. Louis came from eleven states and territories. There were 58 tests—11 on raw coal, 34 on round briquets, and 13 on square briquets. The average efficiency in all the tests was 51.48 per cent; it ranged from 38.67 per cent on an Illinois coal to 65.36 per cent on a Virginia coal. With the cost of fuel assumed at $1 per 2000 pounds, the cost of evaporating 1000 pounds of water from and at 212 deg. F. ranged from 5.56 cents for a briquetted Pennsylvania coal to 11.93 cents for a briquetted Illinois coal. In conclusion Mr. Randall says: "On comparing the results of tests on the coal and briquets there seems to be no advantage in the briquets over coal of a suitable size for the house-heating boilers. Briquetting a good bituminous coal would be justified only when slack is used for material, and the gain from briquetting would lie most entirely in the more favorable size of the fuel. This gain would be less for coals that coke readily than for noncoking coals or for coking coals that are not suitable for domestic purposes in the form of slack. One of the most important results of the work is presented in the form of a table showing the relative value of the different fuels for domestic purposes. From this table it is possible, by comparison, to arrive at the probable value of any fuel in any part of the country. That Arizona and New Mexico will be admitted to statehood in the near future seems probable since the president's decisive stand upon the recognize in our waters a most asset of the people of the States, and we recommend implementation of laws looking to the enforcement of water resources for on, water supply, power, and ion, to the end that navigaand source streams may be under complete control and utilized for every purpose. especially urge on the federal is the immediate adoption of active and thorough water policy, providing for the prompt measurement of our streams and observation of their watersheds for the uses of commerce the protection of the interests people. recommend the enactment of looking to the prevention of the mining and extraction gas, oil and other minerals view to their wise conservathe use of the people, and protection of human life in us conserve the foundations of prosperity.

From this table it is possible, by comparison, to arrive at the probable value of any fuel in any part of the country. That Arizona and New Mexico will be admitted to statehood in the near future seems probable since the president's decisive stand upon the subject in his message to congress. Both territories have made such advances in population in recent years that the objection to their admission hitherto entertained—that they had not sufficient population to justify statehood—seems passed into the limbo of forgotten things. Arizona polled 27,000 votes at the recent elecction. New Mexico's figures are not at hand, although her vote exceeds that of her sister territory. Nevada polled 22,000, and Wyoming 30,000. The territories make what the Japanese student thirsting after a knowledge of the English language calls the "door knock." Let them come in. Let two new stars be added to the flag which floats, and ever shall float, triumphant over all! Since it was discovered by Columbus, Hayti has been one of the world's cauldrons of trouble. The Spaniards cruelly conquered the aboriginees. Then the bucaneers more cruelly robbed and decimated the Spaniards. Then came the importation of human cattle from Africa with two centuries of anarchy and degeneracy. The island has sometimes been an empire, so-called, or a republic in name, but at the present time, it is impossible to indicate its political classification. Matters could not be worse if the idle and criminal colored population of the United States were shipped bodily to the island. How's This?
