Finally, Andrew Carnegie and James
J. Hill, two Of the five foremost pri-
vate citizens" selected by the president
to receive invitations in their personal
capacities are rather more New York
ers than anything else.
The original plan for the program
arrangement was that water resources
should be taken up at the beginning
to be followed by land resources, with
mineral resources coming last. Since
the syllabus OF the topics has been
printed however, this has been changed
and mineral resources placed at the
head of the list, for the accommodation
Of Mr.. Carnegie. The iron master was
to have sailed for Europe before this,
but postponed going in order to accept
the presidents invitation to the con-
ference, and make the chief address
on mineral resources. But he has re-
Gently learned that he will only be able
to attend one days sittings, and there
fore in Difference to him the topic Of
mineral resources will come first, and
Mr.. Carnegie will be the star speaker
of the opening day Of the session.
President Roosevelt, Of course, will
call the gathering to order, and will
undertake to sound the keynote of the
deliberations. While the speech of
forty minutes or Whereabouts with
which he will open the meeting has
been completed for some time, there is
an impression that at some stage, be-
fore adjournment is reached, the pres
ident will have something further to
say which may prove of even more
striking significance than the formal
opening address. It has been dntimated
that the chief executives trip to Pine
Knot, Va, this week, was taken in
rart at least to give opportunity to
work out his plan for managing the
convention and to determine how he
wanted to present his ideas of a strict
" business organization to further the
movement for preservation Of natural
resources.
