OAK GROVE

TION OF EIGHT ACRES.

crete at Cost of SDt5 by
Louis Green.

The cemetery committee of the
general council gave Alderman w. +.
Miller authority yesterday to buy d
tract of eight acres, adjoining Oak
Grove cemetery, to be used as an adj
dition to the burying ground. Accord
ing to the terms of the owners, the
plot will cost the city $4,000, which
the committee is empowered to Dor
row, The land to be bought includes
the space between Burnett street and
the Rieke farm and Fourteenth
street and the present boundary of the
cemetery. The deed will be presented
at the next meeting of the council.
The committee awarded to Louis
Green the contract to build a waiting
room at the cemetery. Green's esti-
mates being 1875 for all the work
with the exception of the foundation
which he may also build for $40, the
lowest bid for that work of any other
contractor. The walls OF the build

GETTING TOGETHER


II was another brilliant move fol
President Roosevelt to call the gov
ernors of the states into conference
concerning the conservation of the
nations natural resources. Economy
OF resources is the road to wealth and
power and greatness. Reserve force
lends confidence to strength and
crowns endeavor. We are a wasteful.
extravagant people from education
We have grown up a numerous people
In broad country almost in the
twinkling as the world reckons time.
and we still cling to the views Of the
wilderness dweller.
Yet, there is cause for pride in this
conference. Europe waited until ne
cessity taught the lesson we are learn
ing, while yet we have something to
save. 1t was a gracious Providence
that sent history student TO occupy
the white house. He applied the OBJ
servations of all ages to his own time
and own country and he has inaugu-
rated an internal policy that will make
this country greater an hundred years
hence, than it Is now.
He does not advocate storing up
our wealth against a time OF famine
as did Joseph in Egypt; but using the
resources economically - avoiding
waste In fuel and minerals, cutting
out only the ripe" trees and in such
manner as not TO destroy the young
sr growth around tapping turpen-
tine trees so that the trees are not
Killed; preserving forests at the head
waters of rivers; draining swamp
lands, and irrigating the desert-pre-
pairing, In other words, this great land
Tor the vast population that some day
VIII swarm over her surface, and in
surfing them comfort and convenience
and cheap living.
Canalizing the rivers is a national
problem, and that will be attended to;
but cooperation between the states.
and between the states and the federal
government is demanded to save the
resources.
This meeting, like all meetings
where people get together and shake
hands and find they are all human and
Ekeable, with many things in common.
will dispel the jealousy that exists
between states, and on the part of
the states against the federal gov
eminent, and induce cooperation in
more ways than those for which the
conference was called.
Roosevelt, the peace maker. has
performed wonderful feats. and he
has done them in the simplest manner
possible. All difficulties and msun-
derstandings dissolve in the light of
truth, when the seemingly opposing
parties meet for the honest purpose
of learning the truth.
It's great thing for folks to get
together.

1t will fight the executive In open and
