TO SAVE THE FORESTS
And Other Rapidly Depicting
Resources.
GOVERNORS ARE CALLED
The Nation Begins to Realize its
Extravaganza.

discussing the awakening that Is
taking place among the thoughtful
people of the country as to the
importance of conserving our
natural resources, the St. Louis
Times points out that 20 years ago
there was small thought anywhere
in this country on the necessity OF
measures looking toward that end.
The Times says:
In the energetic activities Of the
commercial leaders there was little
consideration of economics. For.
ests were fellel in tie quickest
way, railroads we're pushed with
feverish haste, cities were built in
the quickest and consequently the
most expensive way.
Suddenly the country has
awakened to the fact Of its own
extravaganza. Like the man who
realizes in time that he is spending
his energies too rapidly, it has be.
gun to call halt. Only year
or SO ago, James ]. Hill, one OF
the builders of the Northwest, said
that the nation was foolish spend
thrift; that the time had come for
rest and reckoning. Sooner
than even Mr.. Hill expected, the
leaders of the great activities have
reached the same conclusion.
President Roosevelt has called a
conference for "The Conservation
of Natural Resources" to be held
in Washington early next month.
The conference body will be
made up of governors Of the vari-
Gus states and specially selected
men of expert knowledge in fores
try, soil preservation, deep water,
mining and kindred interests oi
great importance.
Nothing in the busy and varied
public career Of President Roose
welt will stand out with greater
vividness than the occasion of thi.
conference. The first meeting
may bring inadequate results, bu
it will be the beginning of what i.
sure to become a great movement
The country must restore its forest!
to the end that it will preserve it.
rainfall, its waterways and it
eroding soil. 1t must guard th'
mines and the deposits of oil, th'
pockets of gas. 1t must see to i
that wild lite is protected for tn,
enjoyment, instruction and prof
of generations to come. Th,
country, in short, has ahead of
the issue that confronts ever
individual. 1t must conserve it

Jealous eye the use of its vita
energies.
| In this connection it is interest
ing to note that there is wide
spread demand in the south fo
forest reserves. The people {
Georgia and other states of tina
section are said to be taking
deep interest in the bill now pend
ing before congress to create
national forest reserve in tn
Appalachian range as they hav
found to their cost that the denuc
ed hilIsides will not hold tn
moisture as they should in orde
that it may be evenly distributed

FORAKER ALONE NOW
All Other Anti-Taft Men Have
Drawn of.
NOW

Washington, D. c., May a-The
nomination or Secretary Taft on
the first ballot at the Chicago con-
vention is now assured, according
to the ablest judges Of political
events in Washington, including
many of the men who have most
energetically opposed Taft's nomi-
nation. The "Allies" as the men
who oppose Taft have called them
selves, have ceased to spend money
to that end, with the single excep-
ton of Senator Foraker who is
still paying press agent. to write
anti-Taft material and who is
spending considerable sums in the
South to secure contesting dele
cations, but were not the Ohio
Senator blinded by the intensity of
this feeling his political sagacity
would convince him of the futility
OF further opposition. Mr.. Fora
ker and to some extent Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks, are seeking to
secure the denomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and to that end are
trying to spread the report that
Mr.. Taft even if nominated could
not be elected. Mr.. Foraker. for
instance, is vociferous in his
declaration that the big Secretary
cannot carry Ohio, but those who
recall the emphatic predictions of
Mr.. Foraker and his friends that
Mr., Taft could not secure the
Ohio delegation unless he compro-
missed with the Senator, are dis
posed to attach little importance
to the declarations OF Mr.. Foraker
who has proven himself unable to
secure single delegate from his
own state.
The hope Of Vice President Fair
banks, and possibly of some other
wouldbe presidential nominees, is
that the convention will nominate
Roosevelt, that he will then de-
cline the nomination, and that in
this way the strength OF the Taft
| forces may be broken, but even
should Mr.. Roosevelt accept. say
the few people who support Mr..
Fairbanks, that might also mean
that the tall Indianian would be
| again slated for Vice President.
, OF course these speculations of the
defeated candidates are interesting,
but as political forecasts they are
as worthy of reliance as the straw
/ at which the drowning man catches
IN his despair. The almost unani.
nous vote of Kentucky for Taft
destroyed the last vestige of hope
of the Fairbanks workers. Colo
rado has just come into line for
Taft. Reports from New Jersey
indicate that he will have the ma
jority of the delegates from that
! state. He is certain of the prac-
tically solid vote of New England,
despite the fact that many of the
delegates are uninstructed, and a
conservative estimate of the first
ballot in the convention gives Taft
SAG votes without counting any
southern state in which there is a
contest.

VICTORY FOR RA7HDRUN
Defeated Athol Last Sunday Score
10 to 4.

The Rathdrum baseball team wor
the first game Of the season on the
local diamond last Sunday afternoon
when it defeated the Athol team By
| a score Of 10 to 4. A number OF
Athol people accompan their team
here to help root for victory. The
players proved a strong, good natured
aggregation OF enthusiasts and took
their defeat manfully. Like the
local team they showed the want OF
the practice which they will get as
the season advances.
The local team had to 20 into the
game with two OF the regular lineup
missing and VAS Obliged to substitute
Volkel OF Post Fails to pitch and
Jensen of Hduser to catch. The
game started about 2:3O o'clock: the
weather was ideal and many people
were present to witness the game
Athol went to bat FIRST. Alfred Dyer
reached third base, one base at a
time, but failed to score. Geo. Will
liams, Robbins and Frank Williams
going out before reaching first.
Rathdrum made three scores iu the
urst innings and easily maintained
the lead throughout the game. A,
no time after the first innings was
the contest a close one; the battery
Of the local team was the stronger
and the visitors were given but few
opportunities TO get men on bases,
while the spectators, deprived of the
excitement OF close game, contented
themselves with measuring the rela
live degrees of skill developed by
individuals of the two teams.
Following was the lineup:
