WHEELS RUNNING
Commercial Clubs Meeting at
Burton a Successful One

The Commercial Club was out
in great form on last Friday even

members and swell wishers" from
vashon, re-eniorced by morepfrom
Center, with those Of Burton filled
to completion the Woodmen's Hall
at that town.
The business of the evening con-
sisted OF completion of organiza-
tion, adoption Of constitution and
bylaws, after which the following
letter from Congressman Jones was
read
Mr.. s. I. STERLING, President Vashon
Island Commercial Club.
Dear Sir;-Your favor of May 3lst has
just reached me here. | am certainly
glad to see that your people are taking
an interest in the matter Of logged off
lands on the west side. This means
much for your section. These lands are
among the most fertile in the state and
should furnish homes for thousands OF
settlers and no doubt will do so when
some method is devised by which they
can be cleared at reasonable cost. 1t
seems to me that some way can be de-
vised under which assistance and en-
couragement can be secured on the part
Of the government, either state or nation
al and beg to assure you that shall be
glad to assist in every way possible.
would not advise however that you
await action by the federal government
before trying other methods because it
is very likely going to be very difficult
task to secure action through the fed
eral government. The states that we
can interest in the matter will very
likely be few compared with those in
tterested in the irrigation proposition.
We had at least seventeen states inter
ested directly in that and it took several
years to work it up so that we could Sc
cure action by Congress.
The State is now making some exper-
iments to determine the cost al which
these lands can be cleared and planted
at puyalIup and understand they have
been quite successful there in demon
strating that the cost of the clearing is
not so great as had been generally ex-
pected. Mr.. Lawrence has charge ol
the experiment station there and can
give you some information of much
value.
shall be pleased ifpossible to arrange
to visit you sometime during the sum
mer and discuss this matter with you
and your organization and see if somt
plan cannot be devised which we car
press upon Congress.
Again assuring you Of my hearty sym
pathy with this proposition am,
Sincerely yours,
WESLEY L. JONES.

Army and Navy Journal-'fThe most
gigantic correspondence school in the
history of education, with free courses
in foreign trav-l, geography and natu,
raj history, is, says the st. Louis Post
Despatch, "now in operation through
out the entire United States, and par
ticularly in the West and Southwest.
The instructors are the $4,000 sailors on
Uncle Sans peace cruise around the
world and the students are their rela-
tives and friends, totaling 100000 to
a quarter of million souls. The text
books are the shoals of entertaining
and instructive letters from the fleet
which are flooding the whole country
with every mail, with throngs of pic
ture postcards as graphic illustrations.
From Honolulu, Auckland, New Zea-
land and Sydney, Australia, tons of let
tiers are now on their way to the loved
ones at home, bearing vivid lessons in
the civilization of the Pacific Islands
and the antipodes. All over the coun-
try forgotten text books on geography
are being resurrected from dusty chests,
so that mothers, sisters and sweethearts
may chart each day the course pursued
by the feet. Book stores report a large
ly increased sale of maps, globes and
charts, due to an awakened interest in
the remote sections of the earth. This
imposing educational propaganda i. in
progress especially west of the Missis-
sippi river, from which section a great
majority of Uncle Sans tars have been
recently recruited. Within the past
two years 1000 sailors, or nearly one
seventh of the entire naval force of the
nation, have enlisted in st. Louis alone.
Capt. Hugo N. Osterhaus, commander OF
the flagship, is a st. Louisan. To the
hundred or so families in st. Louis
which have relatives with the feet have
come voluminous and thrilling letters,
making them more familiar with Trini-
dad than they are with Porto Rico, and
better acquainted with Magdalena Bay
than they are with Charleston harbor
Such letters as this, spreading informa.
ton broadcast in the land, are proving
a vast engine against provincialism, ig-
norance and narrowness and affording a
cosmopolitan education to multitudes in
st. Louis and elsewhere. The CONT |

minent exhaustion of some of them,
due to reckless and wasteful use, once
more calls for common effort. common
action.
Since the days when the constitution
was adopted, steam and electricity
have revolutionized the industrial
world. Nowhere has the revolution
been so great as in our own country.
The discovery and utilization of min
eral fuels and alloys have given us the
duction of steel The discovery and
utilization of coal and iron have given
us our railways, and have led to such
industrial development as has never
before been seen. The vast wealth of
lumber in our forests, the riches of
our soils and mines, the discovery of
gold and mineral oils, comb ined with
the efficiency of our transportation,
have made the conditions of our life
unparalleled in comfort and convent
ence.
The steadily increasing drain on
these natural resources has promoted
to an extraordinary degree the COM
plexity of our industrial and social life.
Moreover. this unexampled Develop
ment has had a determining effect
upon the character and opinions of our
people. The demand for efficiency in
the great task has given us vigor,
effectiveness, decision, and power, and
capacity for achievement which in
its own lines has never yet been
matched. So great and so rapid has
been our material growth that there
has been tendency to lag behind in
spiritual and moral growth but that
is not the subject upon which 1 speak
to you today.
Natural Resources Basis of Power.
Disregarding for the moment the
question of moral purpose, it is safe to
say that the prosperity of our people
depends directly on the energy and
intelligence with which our natural re-
sources are used. It is equally clear
that these resources are the final basis
of national power and perpetuity. Fin
ally, it is ominously evident that these
resources are in the course of rapid
exhaustion.
This nation began with the belief
that its landed possessions were illimi-
| table and capable of supporting all the
people who might care to make oul
country their home; but already the
limit of unsettled land is in sight, and
indeed but little land fitted for agri-
culture now remains unoccupied save
what can be reclaimed by irrigation
and drainage. We began with an un-
| approached heritage of forests; more

nation. and how little they required
to take from this store in order to
satisfy their needs.
Since then our knowledge and use
of the resources of the present terri
tory of the United States have in
creased a hundredfold. Indeed, the
growth of this nation by leaps and
bounds makes one of the most strik-
ing and important chapters in the
history of the world Its growth has
been due to the rapid development,
and alasi that it should be said, to
the rapid destruction, of our natural
resources. Nature has supplied to us
in the United States and still sup
plies to us, more kinds of resources
in "a more lavish degree than has
ever been the case at any other time
or with any other people. Our posi-
ton in the world has been attained
by the extent and thoroughness of the
but we are more, and not less, de-
pendent upon what she furnishes
than at any previous time of history
since the days of primitive man.
Yet our fathers, though thew knew
SO little of the resources of the coun-
try, exercised a wise forethought in
reference thereto. Washington clear
ly saw that the perpetuity of the states
could only be secured by union, and
that the only feasible basis OF union
was an economic one; in other words
that 1t must be based on the develop
ment and use of their natural re-
sources. Accordingly, he helped to
outline a scheme of commercial de-
velopment, and by his influence an IN
terstate waterways commission was
appointed bv Virginia and MARYLAND.
Water the Only Power.

Mount Vernon and took up the con-
sideration of interstate commerce by

ranged. first at Annapolis and then at
that the representatives of all the
states met for what was in it's original
conception merely a waterways confer
ence; but when they had closed their
deliberations the outcome was the
constitution which made the states
into nation.
The constitution of the United States
thus grew in large part out of the
necessity for united action in the wise
use of the one of our natural re-
sources The wise use of all of our
natural resources, which are our ma
tional resources as well, is the great
material question of today. 1 have
