Save the Waste;

By CLIFFORD PINCHOT,
of United States of Agriculture

The conservation of natural resources has often
been taken to mean simply the prevention OF waste.
1t docs the saving of those resources which we
are now engaged in using, but this definition is too
narrow. The conservation or natural resources in
cudes both the prevention of destruction and the pre-
vention of waste from nonuse. Conservation means
development not less than saving.
There are two forms of waste: One is such as
takes place in the destruction of forests or the

rights were possessed by the Pacific company in power privileges in the Arizona canal, acquired by the govern
 ment in the furtherarce of it's plans of distributing water from the Roosevelt project; that the government was
 bound morally and legally to recognize these rights and that this exclusive contract was in lieu of the old Arizona canal contract.
 It is a matter of common knowledge, locally, that the value of this old con tract was uncertain, cause of the fact. that the manner of securing water for canals was not dependable until the government, through it's storage plans, corrected the uncertainty.
 No objections will be raised to the
 Pacific Gas & Electric company being granted all that they had under for mer conditions and could the contract be modified to eliminate the "eXclu- sive" feature and make it possible for other purveyOrs of power to enter the field under competitive, bids, or for the city of Phoenix to purchase power for lighting its streets and other mu- nicipal purposes, and for the U. s. government to acquire power for it's
 Indian school and other buildings, and
 the territory to benefit in respect to power for territorial institutions, we will have accomplished what we be- lieve to be right and fair
 Can we ask that early action be in stituted. looking to a modification or
 abrogation of the contract on the above
 grounds and that it violates a prin- ciple that the government is contend
 ing for?

tric lighting company. whereby, June of last year, an exclusive contract for electricity for lighting purposes was granted such company at a nominal rate. We protest against the eXecu ton of any contract under this agree ment as contrary to public policy and would ask that no further action be taken until the people of Phoenix and the Salt river valley can be heard. This telegram is authorized at joint meet ing of the undersigned"
 A member of the commercial club was, on April 18th, denied the privi- lege of inspecting this agreement and was informed at the U. $. reclamation office. that the contract had not yet been executed at Washington. The directors of these two representative bodies, together with the mayor, called jointly at the reclamation office here on April 17th and were permitted to read the agreement with the Pacific Gas S Electric company and under standing that the cOntract-fOr which the agreement called-had not been executed in Washington transmitted the above telegram of protest against further action.
 Following newspaper publicity and a few days later. we were informed by a reclamation officer that the con- tract had been executed on July Sth, 1907. or fifteen days after the agree ment was made here
 The city of Phoenix, having signed into the reclamation work over two thousand acres of it's land, and for f.h z ic tA thousand dollars toward the reclama- tion work, its taxpayers and citizens are vitally interested, both from the standpoint of beneficiaries from pow CT sold and to the end that it's people be protected in securing reasonable rates for lighting and power for indus trial purposes, which the following ar ticle from the contract does not ap- pear to provide:
 Article II. The party of the first part Cthe governmenD further agrees while serving power to the party of the second part CPacific Gas & Electric COD under the terms of this contract to refrain from entering into general retailing of power to customers in the city of Phoenix. Arizona. or from fur nishing power to anyone to be again sold. or retailed, however that the party of the first part shall have the right to sell or lease power in the city of Phoenix at any time in blocks of 100 to 500 kilowatts and over to any one to be used for manufacturing in dustries, water works or pumping plants"
 As the effect of this contract gives a private corporation complete mo- nOpoly of lighting and a practical mo- nopoly of the distributio1 of power in the city of Phoenix for ten years, her citizens readily appreciated that the inducements. so long held forth by those prominent in the management of the Water Users Association, of cheap light and power was left en- tirely optional with a corporation.
 This situation induced the people, through its public organizations, to re- quest the Pacific Gas & Electric com pany to indicate what schedule of rates they would agree to put into ef feet under the favorable conditions of the contract. but we regret to say, the company declined to do this at the present time or to name a date when they would do so.
 It is said. by those interested in de- lending the contract that certain

dians Luciano and BenitO Matus to the Mexican authorities, whose eXtradi ton has been granted to the Mexican government according to the res pective treaty existing between both countries.
 As these versions. which are entirely false. have no other object than to create in the mind of the inhabitants of Arizona a gratuitous animosity to- wards our authorities, trying to make it appear that the criminals aforesaid are martyrs. this government under my charge. has found it convenient to address the Mexican Consuls in that country. as l have the honor to write you, with the request that the follow ing facts be published in your dis trict.
 That on the 12th day of December 1907, a gang of Yaqui Indians. among whom were the Indians Luciano and Benito Matus.- assaulted the ranch 'El Cabrero" of the Municipality of Gu curpe, in the District of Magdalena, of this State, killing twelve persons, wounding several others and stealing whatever they could find at the ranch. Having plainly proved the complicity of Matus in these crimes, the legal proceedings were instituted and their eXtradition was requested and grant ed, and by virtue of it the said crimin- als were delivered to the Mexican au- thorities, who will prosecute and pun ish them according to law. '-'
 Permit me therefore, to earnestly re- quest you again.. to please use your best efforts. in order that through the press. the real facts may be known in Arizona. for which I adavnce you the expression of my gratitude.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY
 HAS BEEN ABUSED
So Says the Acting Governor of Sonora
 In Letter to Consul Agustin Pima.

Agustin Pima, Mexican consul In this city. last evening gave to The Repub- lican for publication the following let ter which is a translation of one re- ceived by him from Alberto Cubillas, acting governor of Sonora. It IS quite explanatory and its publication is de- sired merely to counteract sentiment which the Mexican government says is gaining strength on this side of the line through sympathy of Arizonians for undeserving Yaqui criminals. This is not designed as a reflection on the Arizonians, but merely to apprise them of the facts for it is felt that they are uninformed or mininformed as to the encrmity of the outrages. In this in- stance the guilty men are now in the hands of the Mexican authorities but similar incidents may occur at any time and the Mexican government de- sires the cooperation of Americans in reducing criminality rather than in terfereice by well meant. but misdi- rected protection of Mexican subjects The letter, dated at Hermosillo. May 26, says:
