Forest Revenues Increased.

In addition to the benefits se- cured by fire protection and by regulations which control the use of timberland and range so as to insure permanent supplies for local wants, the states having National Forests now receive, under the new Agricultural Appropriation Bill, 25 per cent of the gross proceeds de- rived from the sale of National Forest resources. This amount, according to law, goes to offset any losses to the states through with drawal of forest areas from taxa tion, and is devoted to public roads and schools.
 Several years ago complaints were made that the withdrawal of timberlands for forest purposes reduced the taxable areas of the states in which withdrawals were made. The Forest Service, quick to see the justice of these com plaints, recommended at first that 10 per cent, and later that p per cent. of the gross proceeds from the National Forests should be paid to the states. As a result, the

states are assured of school and road funds, doubtless more certain. ly than they otherwise could have been, since the permanence of the Forest resources is now secured by conservative management. Had the Forests never been established their resources would undoubtedly have been exhausted by hasty and improvident methods of exploita- ton, leaving the land wasted and unproductive.

Board of Trade Meeting.

The Board of Trade met at the Board rooms on Morley Avenue as usual Tuesday evening. Con O'Keefe presided in the absence of the President, and a good number of the directors were present.
 The secretary presented a letter from Mir. Bicknell of the Southern Pacific Co.,, relating to freight rates on cattle between Calabasas and Huachuca Station, making a re- duction in the rate. The matter was referred to the Railroad Com- mittee for their consideration.
 The question of sending repre- sentatives to the National Irriga- tion Congress which meets at Albu- querque Sept. 29 to Oct. Sd, was brought up and after some discus sion was referred to the Irrigation Committee for further considera- tion and report. As this will be one of the most important meet ings to be.held within the United States this year, and as the ques- tion of irrigation so vitally affects this section, it is likely that the Board of Trade will send at least one, perhaps two representatives to the convention.
 The 4th of July committees pre- sented their itemized expense state ments, which show that all the committees have been enabled to keep within their allotted amount of expense money, with the exception of the Decoration Committee and the Barbecue Committee. The lat ter, however was lacking but dollar or two. The financial re- port of the Chairman of the Finance Committee showed that a large sum is yet to be collected from the sub- scribers, and that in order to enable the 4th of July Committee to meet all it's obligations it would be necessary to collect every cent of the money pledged. But as all who have placed their names on the list will Of course recognize their obligation to pay, there should be no difficulty in securing the total amount, which will be some thing over $500. The Committee hopes to be able to close up busi- ness and make final report at the next Board of Trade meeting the coming Tuesday. All who are yet in afseass on the subscription list should endeavor to make prompt remittance in order to enable the committee to meet all its oblig- ations promptly.

that of President James J. Hill Of
the Great Northern railway. who re-
ceived a special invitation from
President Roosevelt. His subject
will be, The Relation Between Rail
and Water Transportation.
Mr.. Hill's discussion inevitably
will lead him 10 a consideration Of
the competitive relations between
the railroads and the canals OF the
country. and he is expected TO touch
upon the significant revelations which
recently have been made through
government Investigations into that
subject. The internal waterways Of
the country always have been an
important check on railway freight
rates. Nov that the freight business
Of America has grown beyond the
railroads. II is necessary that the
internal waterways should be taken
into important consideration.

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Gov-
ernors of many states. senators, rep
resentatiyes, cabinet members. heads
of great commercial and Industrial
bodies. labor leaders. corporation
presidents. and men distinguished In
other walks of life assembled today
in the East Room of the White
House as the guests OF President
Roosevelt and inaugurated a confer
ence which is likely TO 90 down IN
history as the most notable OF its
kind ever held In the United States.
The conservation of the natural re-
sources of the country, its forests
and waterways. is the subject which
will occupy the attention OF the IA
nous delegates during the three days
of the meeting. President Roose-
welt presided at the opening con-
ference. declaring that the subject
under discussion is the most
weighty question now before the
people of the United States. Two
sessions will be held each day OF
the conference.
President Roosevelt's first an
nonneement of the present confer
ence was made during the course Of
HIS address at Memphis on October
3 last, while he was making his
famous trip down the Mississippi.
The meeting was at first scheduled
for January. but for various rea-
sons 1t was postponed.
1t is believed that a permanent
organization. wider in it's scope aud
more influential than any similar
body, will be organized as a result
OF the conference opened today.
OF the subjects outlined BY
the president for consideration. that
of the improvements OF the ma
tion's inland waterways is looked up-
on as most important.
The conversion Of the Mississippi
river into a deep waterway win be-
taken up.
Coupled with this are the saving
Of the forests. the control OF foods.
the prevention Of soil erosion and
the conservation OF the supply OF
coal. iron and other mineral re-
sources.
Special attention will be given to
soil erosion By the Missouri river
and It's tributaries. Investigation b.

Agriculture shows that thousands
