OUR NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION CONGRESS WILL MEET NEXT-MONTH Speakers of National Renpwn Will Discuss Subjects of Far-Reaching Importance—Conserving Gifts of Nature for Present and Future Editor Gazette: The First National Conservation Congress of the United States will be held in the Auditorium of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Seattle, Washington, August 26, 27, 28, 1909. Arrangements for the Congress are being perfected under the auspices of the Washington Conservation Association, an organization comprising several hundred prominent citizens of the state. It promises to be the greatest gathering of conservationists since the famous White House Conference of Governors at Washington, D. C., when former President Theodore Roosevelt launched the campaign for conserving and utilizing the natural resources of our country. Invitations to attend the Congress have been sent to leading men and women identified with the conservation movement in all sections of the country. The Washington State Legislature has memorialized President William H. Taft, requesting his attendance at the great convention. That has been supplemented by a Proclamation from the chairman of the Washington State Conservation Commission, and the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. A list of probably ten thousand representative people have been made up, and personal invitations mailed to individuals, and members of societies and civic and commercial tries during the present or in the future. The citizens of the state of Washington have started the Conservation movement for a national organization. That body will elect delegates to attend the Internation Conservation Conference to be held at The Hague during the coming autumn, where the problems of universal saving will be solved. With the platform of principles established by the White House Conference of Governors, the Washington Conservation Association asks the earnest and active cooperation of thinking men and women in all sections of the United States, to the end that the resources of land and sea may be conserved while there is something real to conserve. That Association asks the inhabitants of the nation to help in the work of replenishing the earth and its resources. JOEL SHOMAKER, Chairman, Washington State Conservation Commission. FIRES IN MOUNTAINS Severe Fines Imposed for Violation of Forest Regulations Notwithstanding that conditions in the mountains are extremely favorable to forest fires this season, the vigilance of forest rangers thus far have kept down disastrous conflagrations. Careful watch is kept of camping parties, and every violation of the forest laws is prosecuted. A few days ago Romon Rhane was arrested for burning brush near Mentone, contrary to forest regulations, and he was taken before a justice of the peace at Beaumont, who sentenced him to 15 days' imprisonment in the Riverside county jail.

Up to that islature has memorialized President William H. Taft, requesting his attendance at the great convention. That has been supplemented by a Proclamation from the chairman of the Washington State Conservation Commission, and the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. A list of probably ten thousand representative people have been made up, and personal invitations mailed to individuals, and members of societies and civic and commercial organizations. Many have accepted the invitation and informed the committee in charge of their intention to visit the exposition and participate in the Conservation Congress. Among the invited are cabinet officials; United States Senators and Representatives; Governors and members of State Conservation Commissions; Presidents of colleges and other institutions of learning; editors of newspapers and magazines; ministers of the gospel, and representatives of various commercial organizations throughout the entire United States. The interest in the cause extends across the continent and into foreign lands. Many speakers of national importance are among the names on the program. In that list are such as Hon. R. A. Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior; Gifford Pinchot, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Conservation between states and nation; F. H. Newell, Chief of the Reclamation Service; William McCarroll, Commissioner of the Public Service Commission, New York City; Booker T. Washington, President of the Tuskegee Institute; C. C. Dickinson, President of the Carnegie Steel Trust; W. R. Hutchinson, of 'the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways Commission; James A. Emery, head counsel for the National Manufacturers' Association; Cyrus Northrup, President University of Minnesota; Howard Elliot of the Northern Pacific and James J. Hill of the Great Northern Railway systems. Conservation is the live topic for discussion in the new west. It contemplates the inauguration of a general campaign for better use of the gifts of nature. It means a proper knowledge of all that contributes to the health and comfort of the human family. It is a question which must be handled by practical men engaged in utilizing the natural resources of land and sea.

Careful watch is kept of camping parties, and every violation of the forest laws is prosecuted. A few days ago Romon Rhane was arrested for burning brush near Mentone, contrary to forest regulations, and he was taken before a justice of the peace at Beaumont, who sentenced him to 15 days' imprisonment in the Riverside county jail. It is unusual for a jail sentence to be given for such an offense, and this instance shows that the authorities are determined to do away with carelessness in setting fires. Four men also were arrested last week for not extinguishing a camp fire in the San Gabriel canyon. They were taken before Justice Glover at Azusa, where they pleaded guilty and were fined $25 each. A bad fire was narrowly averted on the Cleveland national forest last week. It was started by a man who was burning brush on his own land, and who allowed the fire to get beyond his control. It was on Palomar mountain, 25 miles north of Escondido, in a remote section of the Cleveland forest. The ranger in that region has a large territory to cover, and he could not quickly reach the locality of the fire, but another man, a friend of Supervisor Marshall of the Cleveland forest, pressed into service 18 Indians and after half a day's fight the flames were extinguished. HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE There are several points in the making of good coffee that must be borne in mind. The coffee itself must be a good article and freshly roasted. The pot in which it is made must be perfectly immaculately clean. The water should be freshly boiled, the "sparkle" still in it. The coffee must not be boiled longer than five minutes, and is still better if it is just kept below the boiling point. If allowed to stand and boil the aroma is lost, and the bitter tannic acid that spoils the taste and irritates the stomach is extracted. Lastly the coffee must be well scented and always served—excepting for after dinner-with cream, or at least (not boiling) milk. Coffee may be roasted and ground at home if preferred; but is now usually quite as well to buy the coffee already roasted, and to grind it as needed.

It contemplates the inauguration of a general campaign for better use of the gifts of nature. It means a proper knowledge of all that contributes to the health and comfort of the human family. It is a question which must be handled by practical men engaged in utilizing the natural resources of land and sea. The work calls for the combined assistance of producer and consumer to insure protection to the products of the earth that go to make up the prosperity of the nation. It concerns the happiness of individuals and the progress of the whole country. Many great questions are involved in the work of the modern idea of Conservation. Such problems will be discussed by competent men, selected from various districts, because of their practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of Conservation. The topics for discussion during the Congress include: Irrigation, water, forestry, mining, soils, good roads and other means for transportation, public health and morals, and the relation of capital and labor in the scheme of conserving our natural resources so that the greatest good to the greatest number will be accomplished. Waste is one of the great enemies to Conservation. It enters into the affairs of individuals and communities and robs thousands of that which they should nourish in order to maintain financial independence. The Conservationist desires to check waste and extravagance in all channels of trade and industry. It is his mission to cooperate in the work of educating the human family in the art of protecting, preserving and conserving the gifts of nature without endangering legitimate indus- If allowed to stand and boil the aroma is lost, and the bitter tannic acid that spoils the taste and irritates the stomach is extracted.

Coffee may be roasted and ground at home if preferred; but is now usually quite as well to buy the coffee already roasted, and to grind it as needed. There are several ways of making coffee but the most common is boiling. Allow one heaping tablespoonful of coffee to each cup of boiling water. Scald out the coffee pot with boiling water. Put in the amount of coffee needed, mixing it with a little cold water and the white of an egg or a square inch of isinglass. When eggs are high an egg-shell crushed will answer in place of the white of egg. Shake together thoroughly, then pour on the fresh boiling water. Cover the spout with a little twist of paper, to prevent the escape of the aroma. Stir well and push the pot on the back of the stove, where it will keep hot, but not boil. Add a few spoonsful of water, pour out a little of the coffee in a cup and back into the pot again, to clear the spout of grounds, and let it stand undisturbed for five or ten minutes to settle. Then serve as quickly as possible, as it deteriorates if left standing. Drip or filtered coffee is made in any double coffee pot fitted with one or more strainers. Allow one cupful coffee, ground very fine, to a quart of water. Measure out the coffee and heat it in a saucepan until it steams, stirring continually. This brings out the flavor. Then place the coffee in the strainer, pour the boiling water in and allow it to drip slowly through the coffee. Repeat this process a second time. Then bring the coffee to a boiling point and serve. Some claim that cold water filtered two or three times through the coffee and then brought to the boiling point gives the strongest and best flavor, but this of necessity takes much time and attention. BEGINNING OF FORESTRY Start Made in Washington's Time Over a Century Ago When did the United States begin the practice of forestry? Few persons can answer this question correctly. Most people are of the opinion that the beginning of forestry in this country was of very recent origin, and that the first step in that direction was taken among the mountains of the far west. Neither fact is correct. While Washington was serving his first term as President of the United States, a recommendation came to him that the government ought to buy live oak islands on the coast of Georgia to make sure of a supply of ship timber for war vessels. The idea appears to have originated with Joshua Humphreys, whose official title was "Constructor of the United States Navy," although about the only navy then existing was made up of six ships on paper, and not one stick of timber to build them had yet been cut. The vessels were designed to fight the north African pirates. Five years after the recommendation was made Congress appropriated money to buy live oak land. Grover and Blackbeard islands on the coast of Georgia were bought for $22,500. They contained 1,950 acres. Louisiana was bought soon after, and in 1817 the Six Islands, of 19,000 acres, and containing 37,000 live oak trees, were withdrawn from sale, and set apart as a reserve. In 1825, Congress appropriated $10,000 to buy additional live oak land on Santa Rosa Sound, western Florida, and subsequently other Florida timberlands, aggregating 208,224 acres, were reserved. Up to that time nothing had been Louisiana was bought soon after, and in 1817 the Six Islands, of 19,000 acres, and containing 37,000 live oak trees, were withdrawn from sale, and set apart as a reserve. In 1825, Congress appropriated $10,000 to buy additional live oak land on Santa Rosa Sound, western Florida, and subsequently other Florida timberlands, aggregating 208,224 acres, were reserved. Up to that time nothing had been done than to buy or reserve land for the timber growing naturally upon it; but the work was to be carried further upon the Santa Rosa purchase. The plan included planting, protecting, cultivating, and cutting live oak for the navy. The timber was then considered indispensable in building war vessels. Much had been said and written of the danger of exhaustion of supply. Settlers destroyed the timber to clear land, and European nations were buying large quantities for their navies. In response to repeated warnings the Government finally took steps to grow timber for its own use. Young oaks were planted on the Santa Rosa lands. Difficulty was experienced in inducing young trees to grow. The successful transplanting of the oak is not easy, unless done at the proper time and in the right way. The plantations at Santa Rosa were generally unsuccessful; but large quantities of acorns were planted, and a fair proportion of them grew. But the chief efforts were directed to pruning, training, and caring for the wild trees. Thickets about them were cut away to let in air and light. What the ultimate success of the forestry work would have been can not be told. The civil war brought a complete change in war vessels by substituting iron for wood. Forestry work stopped. The timber reserves were neglected. Squatters occupied the land. After a number of years all the reserves, except some of the Florida land, were opened to settlement.

One marked feature of progress is seen in the improved quality of the beets grown. The entire beet crop for 1908 averaged 154 per cent of sugar in the beets. The factory processes have also been improved until the refined sugar produced is about four fifths of that contained in the beets. One of the instructive features of this report is an account of the use of by-products. The beet pulp from which the sugar has been extracted is a valuable stock food, and vast quantities of it are fed in the fresh state to cattle and sheep. It finds especial favor with dairymen. A dozen or more factories have installed plants for drying pulp. With this is mixed molasses, the product being put on the market as "dried-molasses-beet-pulp." The prospects for further development of the industry are reported to be good. Plans are on foot for the building of several new factories.

On Sunday the factory was open to the inspection of the public, but from that date will be closed until the factory gets into full swing. This being the first season and the employes new to the plant, F. H. Case, the manager, has ordered that visitors be excluded until notice is given that they will be allowed. The company's offices have been moved from the Hervey building to the factory itself, two miles south of Santa Ana. The building of the plant has already produced a wonderful change south of Santa Ana. The Pacific Electric line to Huntington Beach passes by the factory, and a small town has grown up near the immense building. A great change has taken place in the fields. Hundreds of acres of beets have been planted on lands that had been used only for pasture. That more land near the factory might be available for beet growing, the ranchers have formed the Delhi drainage district for the purpose of putting in a drainage system. The factory is making a new country of the entire district. This year the factory will use the product of 6000 acres, of which 5000 acres are in Orange county and 1000 along the Los Angeles-Santa Ana electric line. The capacity of the factory is between 650 and 700 tons of beets per day. The plant cost $1,000,000. Alfalfa hay for sale at Dickel's. COLONIST RATES Figures Are Low for Scheduled Thirty Days Notice of a great reduction in colonist rates on all Harriman lines have been received by the Los Angeles office of the Southern Pacific. The rates are: From Chicago to all California points, $33; from Missouri River and Texas points, $25; from St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, probably, $32. Stop-overs at Los Angeles and San Francisco, not hitherto granted on these rates will be allowed this time. The rates are effective September 15 to October 15. SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.—New colonist rates from eastern points to the western coast, over the Harriman lines, will go into effect the latter part of August. Local Southern Pacific offices are still putting out the schedule which has been published elsewhere. It is expected a large number of colonists will take advantage of the reduced rates and come west. The rate will probably be the same as those which prevail at Portland and Los Angeles. Articles of Incorporation The Pleasant Canyon Water Co. on Saturday filed articles of incorporation. Capitalization is for $50,000 and the directors are E. E. Burson, Ada Burson and Laura Hill, all of Los Angeles. Articles of the Modjeska Mineral Springs Land & Water Co. were also filed. Capitalization is for $25,000 and the directors are the same as those of the company mentioned above. LOST ON THE DESERT SAN BERNARDINO, July 24.—The affinity between Edgar Arnold, the young street car conductor, and Miss Annabelle Turnbull, the belle of Ontario, which threatened to hold fast even though prison bars separated them, is to be broken by the voluntary resignation of Miss Turnbull, who declared under oath that she desires Edgar to return to his deserted wife, notwithstanding that she loves him still. The two young women, the wife with a baby in her arms, were the two principal witnesses at the preliminary examination. Their testimony was copiously sprinkled with tears. The preliminary was held at Ontario, where the townhall was too small to hold the big crowd which gathered to witness this part of an escapade which has had the community by the ears for several weeks.

One of his colleagues pulled at his coat and whispered: "Daniel Webster did not write the dictionary; it was Noah." "Noah nothing," replied the speaker; "Noah built the ark."
