latter part was much warmer, but
the average temperature for the week
was below normal. The weather dur
ing the fore part Of the week was also
cloudy and wet. Copious but cold
rains were general on the 4th and 9Th.
Warmer weather prevailed during the
last three days, with showers in all
parts of the state on the 10th and
18th. Field work has been retarded
by the wet weather, but the moisture
was badly needed, especially in thu
southern sections. Late reports indi-
cate that plums, peaches, early cher
ries and early apples, were seriously
injured in the southern and central
district, still a fair crop is assured.
In the northern districts the damage
was slight and confined to the early
varieties of cherries. Some damage
to oats is also reported, but this will
probably be overcome by abundant
moisture and higher temperature
There has been some corn planted in
all parts Of the state, and planting
will be general as soon as the weather
will permit.

PLAN TO SAVE RESOURCES
OF THE COUNTRY.

we permit the old wasteful methods
of exploiting them longer to continue.
With the rise of peoples from saw
agery to civilization, and with the con-
sequent growth in the extent and var
iety of the needs of the average man,
there comes a steadily increasing
growth of the amount demanded by
this average man from the actual re-
sources of the country. Yet, rather
curiousfy, at the same time the aver
age man Is apt to lose the realization
Of this dependence upon nature.
When the founders of this nation
met at Independence Hall in Philadel-
phia the conditions Of commerce had
not fundamentally changed from what
they were when the Phoenician keels
first furrowed the lonely waters Of
the Mediterranean. The differences
were those of degree, not of kind, and
they were not in all cases even those
of degree. Mining was carried on fun
damentally as it had been carried on
by the Pharoahs in the countries adj
jacent to the Red Sea.
The wares of the merchants of Bos-
ton, Of Charleston, like the wares of
the merchants of Nineveh and Sidon,
II they went by water, were carried
by boats propelled by sails or oars;
II they went by land were carried In
wagons drawn by beasts of draft or in
packs on the backs of beasts of bur
den. The ships that crossed the high
seas we're 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 land the roads were
not as good as the roads Of the Ro-
man empire, while the service of the
posts was probably inferior.
Conditions in Washington's Time.
In Washington's time anthracite
coal was known only as a useless
black stone; and the great fields of
bituInfn coal were undiscovered.
AS steam was unknown, the use of
coal for power production was I'M
dreamed of. Water was practically the
only source of power, save the labor
of men and animals; and this power
was used only in the most primitive
fashion But a few small iron deposits
had been found in this country, and
the use of iron by our countrymen
was very small. Wood was practically
the only fuel, and what lumber was
sawed was consumed locally, while
the forests were regarded chiefly as
Instructions to settlement and cult
walton.
Such was the degree of progress t.
which civilized mankind had attained
when this nation began it's career.
This nation began with the belle
that its landed possessions were illim
table and capable of supporting al
the people who might care to maxi
our country their home; but alread.
the limit of unsettled land is in sight
and indeed but little land fitted TO
agriculture now remains unoccupie'
save what can be reclaimed by irrigs

The Problem OF the Future

FINALLY, let us remember tnat the
conservation of our natural resources,
though the gravest problem of today,
is yet but part of another and greater
problem to which this Nation is not
yet awake, but to which it will awake
In time, and with which it must here
after grapple if it is to llve-the prob
lem of national efficiency, the pa
triotic duty of insuring the safety and
continuance of the Nation. When the
people of the United States con-
sciously undertake to raise themselves
as citizens. and the Nation and the
States in their several spheres, to the
highest pitch of excellence in private,
State, and national life and to do this
because it is the first of all duties of
true patriotism, then and not ill then
the future of this Nation, in quality
and in time, will be assured.

The New Jersey Case
The court Of errors and appeals of
New Jersey has adopted similar
view, which has recently been sustain
ed by the supreme court of the United
States. In delivering the opinion of
the court on April 6, 1905 Mr.. Justice
Holmes said "The state as quasi
sovereign and representative of the
interests of the public has standing
il. court to protect the atmosphere,
tho water, and the forests within it's
territory, irrespective OF the assent or
dissent of the private owners Of the
land most Immediately concerned. .
It appears to us that few public
interests are more obvious, indisput-
able and independent of particular
theory than the interest of the public
of state to maintain the rivers that
are wholly within it substantially I'M
diminished, except by such drafts up
on them as the guardian of the public
welfare may permit for the purpose OF
turning them to more perfect use.
This public interest is omnipresent
wherever there is a State, and grows
more pressing as population grows.
We are of opinion, further, that
the constitutional power Of the State
to insist that its natural advantage
shall remain unimparied by Its citizens
is not dependent upon any nice esti
mate of the extent of present use OF
speculation as to future needs. The
legal conception of the necessary Is
apt to be confined to somewhat rudi
| mentary wants, and there are benefits
from great river that might escape
| a lawyers view But the State is not
required to submit even to an aesthetic
analysis. Any analysis may be made
quate. 1t finds itself in possession O.
