The Chicago canal connecting the
Illinois with the Mississippi river is now

a question what effect it will have on

One of the principal causes of great
loss of life in accidents or disaster oc-
curing on the water by reason of the
collision of vessels or from similar cir
cumstances results from the fact that
the hfe-preservers provided for the use
OF the passengers are usually placed in
some inaccessible position where thew
cannot be obtained quickly by the ex-
cited persons.

SOMETHING DOING ON WATERS

Senator George B. Keezell and Hon

Board of Fisheries, passed through
Richmond yesterday, en- route to their
homes after an important trip on State
business up the Rappahannock river.
They encountered storm on their way.

State Senator is looked upon as a man
OF undoubted courage when on land. AS

was aboard, he approached the captain

The answer was not ''All's well; the
morning cometh." Indeed, it was far
less comforting. "You haven't seen
anything yet," replied the captain.

the Rappahannock, and then something
will be doing" he replied. Still OF

CRIMINAL WASTEFULNESS.

Inc proposal of President Roosevelt
for conference of the Governors of
the States and Territories to meet him
at the White House in Washington
May 18th, 14th and 18th next to discuss
the question of means to conserve the
natural resources of the country. is re-
ceiving favorable comment. There is
no doubt that the Presidents endeavor
is along the right line. Something
must be done to save the natural re-
sources of the country from waste and
destruction. The country does not be-
long to the people of this generation
alone. Generations which are to follow
have an equal interest in its,natural
resources. We have no moral right to
take more than eur share. They are
committed to us in trust, and we must
be faithful trustees. The nation which
does not provide for its posterity is
sure to degenerate. 1t is a law Of
nature.
But taking more selfish view we
must begin at once to conserve the
forests and to replenish the lands from
which timbers are cut, or soon there
will be no forests.
Chief Forester Pinchot declares that
of the estimated 400, 600, 900, 600 feet of
standard hardwoods, rs, 900, 600, 600 are
cut yearly, at which rate the supply
will be exhausted in sixteen years.
He further says that in twenty years
the entire timber supply in the United
States, on government reserves and
private holdings, at the present rate of
cutting, will be exhausted.
Ours is land of such vast resources
that we have fallen into the habit of
wastefulness. We have cut into the
forests as though they were inexhaust-
IDLE, but we are now dangerously near
to timber famine. -Times-Dispatch.
