he enactment OF laws for the protection
of the forests from fires and prescribing
severe penalties for the careless or ma
liclous starting of fires in the vast tim Der
tracts OF the country. He suggested dis
trict pc lice patrols as the best means for
protecting the forest lands.
When Judge Van Dyke had concluded
the chairman read letter from Presid ent-
elect Mckinley. expressing regret for in
ability to attend the congress and tender
ing his best wishes for its success. The
convention enthusiastically appiauded the
reading of the letter.

States were read.
Brigham Young. of Utah, descendant
of the great Mormon leader. addressed the
congress by special request. He spoke
eloquently of the advantages that have
been derived from the former sessions of
the congress. and predicted bright future
for the great West when its arid wastes
shall HAYS been transformed into pros
porous farming communities.
