once more calls for common effort,
common action.
Since the days when the consti.
tuition was adopted, steam and elec-
tricity have revolutionized the in.
dustrial world. Nowhere has the
revolution heen 30 great as in our
own country. The discovery and
utilization of mineral fuels and al.
loys have given us the lead over
all other nations in the produc tion
of steel. The discovery and utili.
cation 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, com.
bined with the efficiency OF our
transportation, have made the con
ditions OF our life unparalleled in
comfort and convenience
The steadily increasing drain on
these natural resources has pro.
NOTED to an extraordinary degree
the complexity of our industrial
and social life. Moreover, this un
exampled development has had
determining effect upon the char.
acter and opinions of our people.
The demand for efficiency in the
great tack given us vigor, effec.
tiveness, decision, and power, and
a capacity for achievement which
in its own lines has never yet been
matched. So great and 80 rapid
has been our material growth that
there has been tendency to lag
behind in spiritual and moral
growth: but that is not the sub.
ject upon which | speak to you to.
day.
Disregarding for the moment
the question OF mortal purposes, it
is safe to say that the prosperity
of our people depends directly up
on The energy and intelligence
with which our natural resources
are ueed. 1t is equally clear that
these resources are the final basis
of national power and perpetu-
ity. Finally, it is ominously evi
dent that these resources are in the
course of rapid exhaustion.
This nation began with the be-
lief that it's landed possessions

OF the control we have achieved
over nature; but we are more, and
not less, dependent upon what she
furnishes than at any previous
time of history since the days of
primitive man.
Yet our fathers, though they
knew 80 little of the resources OF
the country, exercised wise fore
thought in reference thereto.
Washington clearly saw the per.
petuity 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
it must be based on the develop.
ment and use of their natural re-.
sources. Accordingly, he helped

in this city, and went to Santa

Carpenter, who had previous
ly written to her saying that
he would sell his ranch, and
suggesting that they go north,
met her and they went to
Mountain Home, Idaho. There
he received letters from here
saying that some money he had
in local bank had been attach
ed and that he must get money
to save his ranch. He asked
her for $500, she asserts, so he
might release the attachment.
He also asked her to deed her

that they might raise money to

Idaho lands was made out when
he was taken sick with spotted

was signed.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
OF STATE EXECUTIVES
Address Delivered By President Roosevelt at
Recent Meeting in Washington Concerning
Conservation Of Nations Resources.

(From the address OF President Roosevelt at
of National Resources.)
of the several states
and Gentlemen:
| welcome you to this conference
at the White House. You have
come hither at my request so that
we may join together to consider
the question of the conservation
and use of the great fundamental
sources of wealth of this nation.
So vital is this question that for
the first time in otr history the
chief executive officers of the states
separately, and of the states to.
gether forming the nation, have
met to consider it,
With the governors come men
from each state chosen for their
special acquaintance with the
terms of the problem that is before
US. Among them are experts in
natural resources and representa-
tives of national organizations con-
cerned in the development and use
of these resources; the senators
and representatives in congress,
the supreme court, the ca binet, and
the inland waterways commission
have likewise Eeen invited to the
conference, which is therefore ma.
tional in peculiar sense
This conference on the conserva.
ton of the natural resources is in
effect meeting of the representa-
tives of all the people OF the Uni
ted States called to consider the
weightiest problem now before the
nation; and the occasion for the
meeting lies in the fact that the
natural resources of our country
are in dagger of exhaus ion If we
permit the old wasteful methods of
exploiting them to continue.
With the rise of peoples from
savagery to civilization, and with
the consequent growth in the ex.
tent and variety OF the needs of the
average man, there comes steady
increasing growth of the amount
demanded by this average man
from the actual resources OF the
country. Yet, rather curiously,
at the time the average man is apt
to lose his realization of this de.
pendence upon nature,
Savages, and very primitive peo
Piles generally, concern themselves
only with superficial natural re.
sources; with those which they OBJ.
tain from the actual surface of the
ground. AS peoples become a lit
tie less primitive, their industries,
although in rude manner, are
extended to resources below the
surface; then, with what we call
civilization and the extension Of
knowledge, more resources coma
into use, industries are multiplied,
and foresight begins to become a
necessary and prominent factor in
life. Crops are cultivated; ami.
mails are domesticated; and met
ais are mastered.
Every step of the progress Of
mankind is marked by the discov
cry and use of natural resources
previously unused. Without such
progressive knowledge and utiliza-
tion of natural resources popula-
ton could not grow, nor industries
multiply, nor the hidden wealth of
he earth be developed for the ben

From the first beginnings Of civ.

of centuries TO the present day.
But of late the rapidity of the pro-
cess has increased at such rate
that more space has been actually
covered by our national life than
during the preceding six thousand
years that take Us back to the ear
liest monuments OF Egypt, to the
earliest cities of the Babylonian
plain.
When the founders OF this ma
tion met at Independence hall in
Philadelphia the conditions Of com.
merce had not fundamentally
changed from what they we're when
the Phoenecian keels first furrowed
the lonely waters of the Mediter
ranean. The differences were those
of degree, not of kind, AM they
were not in all cases even those OF
degree. Mining was carried on
fundamentally as it had been car
ried on by the Pharaohs in the
countries adjacent to the Red sea.
The wares Of the merchants OF
Boston, of Charleston, like the
wares of the merchants of Nine
veh and Sidon, if they went by
water, were carried by boats pro.
PEELED by sails or oars; if they went
by land were carried in wagons
drawn by beasts Of draft or in
packs on the backs of beasts of
burden. The ships that crossed
the high seas were better than the
ships that had once crossed the
Aegean, but they were of the same
type, after all-they were wooden
ships propelled by sails; and on
the land the roads wers not as
good as the roads OF the Roman
empire, while the service OF the
posts was probably inferior.
In Washington's time anthracite
coal was known only as a useless
black stone; and the great fields of
bituminous coal were undiscovered.
AS steam was unknown, the use of
coal for power production was un.
dreamed of. Water was practical
ly the only source Of power. save
the labor of men and animals; and
this power was used only in the
most primitive fashion. But few
small iron deposits had been found
in this country, and the use of iron
by our countrymen ives very small.
Wood was practically the only
fuel, and what lumber was sawed
was consumed locally, while the
forests were regarded chiefly as OBJ.

vation.
Such was the degree of progress
to which civilized mankind had
attained when this nation began its
career. 1t is almost impossible for
US in this day to realize how little
our Revolutionary ancestors knew
OF the great store OF natural re-
sources whose discovery and use
have been such vital factors in the
growth and greatness of this ma
ton, 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
territory of the United States have
increased an hundred fold. In.
deed, the growth Of this nation by
leaps and bounds makes one OF the
most striking and important chap.
ters in the history of the world. Its
growth has been due to the rapid
development. and alasl that it
should be SAID, to the rapid de.

HE SEEMS TO HAVE
LED A DOUBLE LIFE
Gave Woman Who Thought She Was His Sec
ond Wife Impression That He Had Secured
Divorce and Married Her Secretly.

That w. R. Carpenter, late
Orange County Superintendent
of Schools, either led a double
life or was insane, is the opin-
ion of Mrs. French, who sup
posed herself to be his second
wife. She finds that she was
greatly misled by him and, like
the members of his family, is
compelled to the belief that he
was mentally deranged.
She says that far from hav-
ing led him away she was the
victim and has a score of his
letters to show that after she
left him, on learning that their
marriage was Of no avail, he
passionately besought her to re-
turn to him. AT the same time
it appears that he was writing
to his wife to much the same
effect. His unhappy actions
thus plunged two families into
grief.
Mrs. French says that two
weeks before her husbands
death in July, 1903, Carpenter
called upon her to express
his sympathy at the illness
of the clergyman and on part
ing kissed her on the forehead
and said: Let me be a brother
to you" Later when she moved
to Los Angeles, he frequently
visited her and in 1905 told her
he had started a suit for divorce,
had obtained an interlocutory
decree, that he loved her and
that they would be married as
soon as the year was up. At
this time he visited her at her
house openly. The neighbors
understood that he was divorced
and that they intended to be
married.
They went to Santa Barbara
August II, 1906, and were mar
ried on the high seas. Carpen-
ter, she says, wished the mar
riage to be secret because prop
erty matters had not been set
tied at that time. "Can't you
trust me?" he asked her.
They went to live at Santa
Ana in July of last year. She
helped him in his office daily.
All this time, it appears, the
family did not know of the
marriage on the sea. When it
was made known it was discov-
cred that the final decree of di-
vorce had not been signed and
that the marriage was invalid.
Being in danger of bigamy
charge, Carpenter, she says,
said to her, "you don't want me
to 60 to prison. You know |
thought that decree was all
right"
'T will never cause you any
trouble" she answered, 81 will
60 home, you must not see me
any more"
Mrs. French said she had
made up her mind not to see
Carpenter again, but he sent
letter after letter to her in the
east asking that she would re-
turn to him and stay by him.
Finally he threatened to COM
nit suicide if she did not. In
one letter he signed himself,

 The latest feature to be arranged by this hvest of live societies is a bal loon ascension. And there is no fake about this-it will be the real thing. Some one discovered that the Scott transfer company has blloon in their possession which they had al most forgotten about and a hurTy-up call was made on the Scotts to see if it's use could be obtained.

the injunction case of Martin Cos teilo vs- the shannon Copper Com pany to prevent them from an ale ged stripping of the Copper Belle mining properties al Gleason, and in which Cotello has asked for S90.000 in damages, will be compromised. The case which had been set down for trial twice has been postponed on those occasions and few days since was again continued until the first of July. It is known from reliable au- thorities that the Shannon people have made oyertures of a settle ment and that the matter at the pres ent time is under consideration by MT. Costello and his attorneys. The details of the present offer have not been made public and it Is doubtful if they will be until the stipulation for the dismissal of the case has been made in the district court.
 The surveyor and the others who were sent out by the court to make an examination and report of the al leged damages that had been done to the property by the alleged bad man ner in which the property was being worked have not as yet filed any re- port and will not until the matter has been taken up in the court. The Shannon company are very anxious to continue the work on the Copper Belle property, as they need the ore from there to use as Aux for the smelters at Clifton. General Manager Benny of the shannon Company is at present at Gleason and with En- gineer Penworthy, who was injured last week by the cave-in are making a thorough examination of the prop erty.
 It is to be sincerely hoped that settlement will be made and the prop erty continued to be worked, as gives employement to number oi miners as well as to 3 number or teamsters who are at work hauling the ore from Gleason to the railroad at Pearce.
