south and the undeveloped north are to be represented as well as the new west. Indeed, it is question if the term international would not be more fitting as applied to the con- gress, as many foreign countries. among them Australia, the farthest away. and Canada, our neighbor. will have representatives present An ops portunity will be offered at the session to further national effort in conservar tion and development, and speakers have been chosen to discuss the ef-, feet of such effort in the various in- dustries of the country who have made thorough study and know whereof they speak. Not only have irrigation ists and agriculturists been invited to attend the sessions of the congress-. but the manufacturers of the east. whose business is dependent upon streams for power, the southerners who must drain his land in order t0 make 1t fruitful and the man of cons merce whose interest is in navigar tion.
 In addition to such attendance Cons gressman Theodore B. Burton of Ohio. chairman of the Inland Waterways commission, has notified the chairman of the executive committee that the commission will be represented at the fifteenth session. The following members of the commission have been delegated by MT. Burton to represent that body in the irrigation congress- Senator Francis Newlands of Nevada, Senator John H. Bankhead of Ala bama, Clifford Piuchot. United States forester; F. H. Newell. director recla~ nation service; and Dr. w. J. McGee. secretary of the commission, and for. mer president of the National Geo graphical society. The presence of members of this very important body will be an important factor in the congress. To what extent the specific work of the commission will figure in the discussion cannot be foretold. but it is certain that the larger effort in the direction of the streams and the preservation of their watersheds will form an important topic of general discussion.
 The suggestion. that the eastern for est reserve question be discussed at the session has created much interest among prominent men of the eastern states who are identified with the movement to establish reserves in the Appalachian and White mountains. Letters have been received from all over the eastern states approving the suggestion and expressing the hope that the matter will be scheduled for discussion at the Sacramento meet ing. The officers of the fifteenth con- gress are: President, Hon. George B. Chamberlain of Oregon; first vice president, Hon. John H. Smith of Utah; second vice president, Hon. H. B. Maxson, Nevada; third vice presi- dent, Hon. c. E. Barstow, of Texas; secretary. D. II. Anderson of Chicago. Ill.

A STORY OF LIVINGSTONE.
Explorer Won Admiration of Power

Francois Coillard, for many years . missionary in Africa. told an odd story of David Livingstone. the famous ex-. plorer. Coillard was staying at vii~ lage in Bechuanaland. One morning. hearing noise and unaccountable agi- tation, he ran out of his hut to And the place invested by the Makololos. under sebitomane. a mighty chief. Living stone, who had a siambok in his hand. felt SO indignant at the pillage that seeing a man crawling out of one of the huts, he brought down several blows on his back. which made the blood start and raised welts. It was SebItoane himself. He rose. seise1 Livingstone in fury by the hair and threw him to the ground.
 Warriors ran up and their assagais were about to pierce Livingstone. when sebitoane stopped them. sayins:l Let him go. he is a stranger and . white man" Then. looking straight at him, he said: You have courage. you are a brave man. Never before has any one dared to strike me. Lfv- ingstone then understood for the first time whom he had attacked You are strong" he said. and peace vas made.

POLICIES
Roosevelt Stands Pat In
 Provincetown Speech:
WILL PUNISH THE WICKED RICH.
Declares Questfon Is Whether Trusts or People Shall Run the Coun- try, and He Is on the Peo-
 ple's Side.

PROvINCETOWN, Mass, Aug. 2l. The laying of the cornerstone of the Cape Cod Pilgrims memorial monu- ment here gave President Roosevelt his first opportunity of the summer to break silence upon public questions, and the forty minute speech which he delivered from a platform on top of Town Hill was one of vigor and di- rectness upon matters of national i'm portance. The feature of his address was his advocacy of a national incor- poration law and his stand in relation to violators of the law, especially cor porations. With great emphasis he declared that the administration would not waver in its determination ito punish certain malefactors of great wealth."
 There will be no change in the policy we have steadily pursued" de- clared President Roosevelt, mo let up in the effort to secure the honest ob- servance of the law, for I regard this contest as one to. determine who shall rule this government--the people through their governmental agents or a few ruthless and determined men whose wealth makes them particular ly formidable because they hide be- hind the breastwork of corporate or ganization."
 The president declared that the gov ernment would undertake nc action of a vindictive type and, above all, no action which would infict great or unmerited suffering upon innocent stockholders and upon the public as whole. He said that the govern ment's policy in its ultimate analysis meant "a healthy and prosperous ex- pansion of the business activities of honest business men and honest cor porations."
 At one point President Roosevelt de- parted for moment from his address as originally prepared to remark:
 "All that have said as to desirable and undesirable citizens remains true"
 The following are some of the strik- ing paragraphs in the presidents speech:
 Certain socialistic leaders propose to redistribute the worlds goods by refusing to thrift and energy and in dustry their proper superiority over folly and likeness and sullen envy"
 "The rich man who with hard arro- gance declines to consider the rights and the needs of those who are less we'll of and the poor man who ex- cites or indulges in envy and hatred of those who are better of are alike

Snecial Correspondence

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Feb. 11.-This af'
ternoon from four o'clock until after
seven the house committee on county
and county lines held a session in the
house of representatives to hear the
arguments of the committee from East
Las Vegas. who are here urging the
creation of the proposed county OF
Garfield. c. c. Gise opened the argu-
lment for the committee and for about
half an hour presented a lot of fig.
lures to prove that the county should
be divided. 1t may be truthfully stat
ed that Mr.. Gises' argument did not
'overwheim the committee to which he
presented IL. Mr.. Gise was followed
by Senator Chas. A. Spiess, who pre-
scented powerful reasons why San Mig.
nel county should not be divided. Bo n
sides were allowed the privilege of
questioning the speaker, but those who
were on the opposing side to Mr..
Spiess did not take advantage of the
privilege to any great extent. Senator
Duncan took the floor for short time
and spouted forth for about fifteen
minutes, during which he made the
statement that The Optic representa-
tive was over at the capital to do the
bidding of President Spiess. Just what
this argument had to do with county
division, the house committee were un.
able to understand. Under the airact
questioning of Mr. Spiess it was
brought out that the committee frora

many offices as they thought they

some very important bills introduced
in both branches of the legislature this

introduced in the interest of the banks
of the territory. The bill will have
reference to the tax assessments on

assessed at sixty per cent of Its value,
or the same as live stock. The live
