Porto Rico Coffee Used at the White
HnmAe.

The satisfactory merits of the Porto
Rico coffee, which are being used here
now very extensively for the first time,
are proving themselves by the steadily
increasing number of people who are
using them. To the United States the
coffee of the Island of Porto Rico Is
comparatively unknown, whilst in
France and Spain and other European
countries it is considered a great lux
ury.
Gov. Hunt of Porto Rico recently
sent to President Roosevelt a sack of
the coffee of that island, and the fol-
lowing letter from the President. ap-
pearing in the New York papers of re-
cent date, shows that he at once recog-
nized the superior qualities of it:
White House, June %.
My Dear Gov. Hunt l write to tell
you how much 1 have enjoyed the Por-
to Rican coffee. Our whole family has
taken to it, and we use no other. Your
interest in all pertaining to Porto Rico
and its products is so great that |
thought you might like to be informed
of this fact. Sincerely yours,
Theodore Roosevelt.
Those here who are using Porto Rico
coffee say that there is no question
about its superior qualities, and that
it has fragrant aroma and a delicious
flavor found in no other coffee. Any
one who has once acquired taste for
1t VIII wish to use no other, and there
is every indication of the business in
that article with Porto Rico becoming
big thing in this part of the South.
This coffee is being brought here in
regular shipments direct from the new
American possession in the West In
dies. and with a continued esta blish-
ment of other trade relations between
the South and that portion of our new
territory, the motto, "Prospera Lux
Oritur," on the Porto Rico coat of
arms Will have proved most appro-
pirate to the occasion and conditions
Other articles already being brought
here from that island are cigars, straw
hats and fruits of various kinds. and
there are excellent opportunities for
many articles of American produce be-
ing shipped from Savannah to that
island

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.
We commend and again call the at
tention OF this nation and OF every sec
ton of our country TO the wise and
statesmanlike words OF that message,
wherein President Roosevelt said.
"The reclamation and settlement OF
the arid lands viii enrich every portion
of our country, Just as the settlement
of the Ohio and Mississippi valley
brought prosperity to the Atlantic
states The increased demand for man
ufactured articles will stimulate pro-
duction, while wider home markets and
the trade Of Asia will consume the
larger food supplies and effectually pre-
vent western competition with eastern
agriculture. Indeed. the product of ir-
rigation will be consumed chiefly in the
upbuilding OF local centers Of mining
and other Industries, which would
otherwise not come into existence at all.
Our people as a whole Will profit, for
successful home-making Ia but another
name for the upbuilding of the nation"

of benefit TO the people % the country.

Will be given to every man who wants

reclamation that Will be built by the
national government. and the reclama-
tion of 100000 600 acres of arid public
land. Will relieve the congestion OF the
population in our great cities and ex-
ert profound influence to check the
trend OF population to the cities and
turn II back to the land, and thus safe
guard against one OF the greatest dan
gers that now confront us in the main
tenance OF the permanence and sta
bility OF our social and political instl-
tutions.
WARNING FROM THE PRESIDENT.
We also call the attention of the peo-
PIE of the country and of the Congress
of the United States to the warning
contained In the last message OF Presl-
dent Roosevelt to Congress, where he
said:
80 far as they are available for agri-
culture, and to whatever extent they
may be reclaimed under the national
irrigation law, the remaining public
lands should be held rigidly for the
home builder, the settler who
lives on his land, and for no one else.

TO the employers OF cheap Asiatic labor;
that we are unalterably opposed to the
Introduction OF contract coolie labor

that legislative agitation or attacks on
the sugar interests Of this country

industry may develop in common with
all our other great industries.
. STATEHOOD,
Resolved, That this congress favors

A COMPREHENSIVE RESERVOIR
SYSTEM.
Reolyed, That it is the sense of this
congress that the storage of waters in
the extensive catchment basins Of the
western rivers for the prevention of
Hoods and for power and irrigation is
both possible and practical. aud that the
government should supplement its pres
ent policy OF leVee construction by a
comprehensive reservoir system
throughout the arid region, not only for
the purpose of conserving the water foi
irrigation but also for the preservation
Of life and property In the lower reaches.
The waters thus conserved would be OF
incstimable value and blessing 20 the
people in the arid ana semi-urid district.
We believe that irrigation and Hood pre-
vention are two IDEAS 10 be developed
together.
The reservoirs to be built should in
clude not only lnrge reservoirs, but
also all smaller reservoirs for which
feasible locations exist, and throughout
the great plain region the construction
OF such small reservoirs by dammng
the coulees and draws should be en-
couraged by both the state and national
governments.
INTERSTATE STREAMS
Whereas, The Platte, the great river
NnnTngHg ca
having It's sources in the states of
Colorado and Wyoming, and capable,
when it's system s fully developed. Of
irrigating millions OF acres OF most
productive land: and
Whereas, Such reservoirs rs shalt be
constructed under the national act for
the utilization Of the waters Of the said
river that now run to waste must be
located outside OF Nebraska I'm the
aforesaid states of Wyoming and Colo
RADIO. where the headwators OF this
great river take their rise;
BE It therefore resolved. That the
national government should take speedy
steps to locate, survey aud construct
such reservoirs, and TO provide for the
equitable distribution Of such waters
between said several states.
Whereas, Large areas IN the state Of
Kansas and Nebraska and elsewhere I'm
the great plains region are arid and
treeless. but have an apparently neX-
haugtlble underground source Of water
supply in what Is known as tho under
flow:
Resolved That IN those sections Of
the country such action should BIO tax
en- by tho national government as mny
be necessary for the Immediate and
fun development Of such underground
water resources and their utilization
for irrigation;
Resolved further That I'm the states
and regions above mentioned forest
stations should he established and tree
less areas rcforested wherever public
lands have been or can be practically
reserved for such purpose.
IRRIGATION or INDIAN LANDS.
Whereas, There are many thousands
OF acres upon the Indian reservations

reclaimed Und for which no uppropua-
tlon OF water has boon nude on asked
for, and water cnn only be secured for
these lands by actual use and Hpplica-
