washington, Dec. 9.--The National
Conservation commission today be-
gan conferences with tne governors of
the different states, with the prob
able result that some concrete plan
will be mapped out for the conserva-
ton of the nations natural resources.
More than thirty states were repre-
sented by their chief executives.
Soil Is Not Losing.
The most interesting point made
public through the report of the work
conducted during the summer and
fall by the section of lands of the
National Conservation commission, CT
which Senator Knute Nelson of Min
nesota, is chairman, Is that the in
ventory of natural resources has DEM
onstrated that the soil of the United
States as a whole is not falling OF,
hut rather Is in most parts of the
country. if not actually gaining, at
least holding it's own. The report de-
clares, however, that our agricultural
lands will soon be required to pro-
duce at least twice as much as they
do at present in order to meet the
nations demand for food. Such an
increase in crop production is possi-
BILE with proper methods.
There are in the United States
proper, according to the report q
trifie less than 100000 square miles
1 of land surface, of which a little.
more than one-fifth is under cultiva-
ton. About quarter Is covered with
forests, and a smaller proportion with
woods, young growth and cut-over
| land With the exception of waste
lands and a relatively small amount
| OF mineral lands, all the rest Is graz
| ing land.
The Inventory Of the mineral re-
sources of the United States which
| the section of minerals under the
craftsmanship of Representative John
/ Dalzell of Pennsylvania. has made
! during the summer and fall is a
lcng list of waning supplies. This
! was shown by the report of the sec
ton before the joint conservation
conference which summarizes the
! figures of the country's mineral
lwealth, Some of the main features
of this report were as follows;
What We Have.
! The mineral production OF the Unit
! ed States now exceeds 80 900. 900. 900
in value every year, and Is second
cnly to agriculture as a contribution
, to our national wealth. 1t furnishes
our light, heat and power. and sup
plies 65 per cent of the freight traf-
fc of the country.
! The waste in the mining and treat
ment of mineral substances during
year is equivalent to more than
three hundred million dollars.
1t Is estimated that the coal sup
ply of the United States is / 1,463.s00-
! 100000 tons and at the present rate
! this will be exhausted before the mid
die OF the next century. The known
supplies OF petroleum and natural
I gas will not last beyond the middle
! of the present century.
The damage on account Of fires for
, 1907 was $456.4s5,900.
At a reasonable estimate, probs bly,
more than one-half the insurance
! fourth of the city water supply
and distribution charges, three
fourths of the fire department charges
! and three-fourths of the fire losses
or a total OF 1894 1872 956 a year may
be reasonably looked forward to as
a saving at such time as building con-
struction in the United States shall
become as good or better than that
now found in European countries.

IT'S DULL" IN CANADA.

The extent and serious nature of
the financial depression in Canada
can be estimated from the fact that
the Canadian manufacturers have
organized a movement to secure
large aggregations of English capital
for r,ilroad work, and also to meet
the demands of the smaller class of
manufacturers. In order to make
this plan effective the Canadians are
inviting British financial concerns to
establish loan offices at various
points throughout the dominion.
The winter was an exceptionally
long one, and business is very dull
among the retailers on account Of
the drought and crop failures last
year. Notwithstanding the keenest
competition, and national sentiment,
the natural advantages in geographi.
cal position and a common CONNER
cial interest and taste. are counting
in favor of the growth of trade be-
tween Minnesota and Canada, es-
pecially in the way of hardware and
packing house products.

Manila, May 13.-The Wholesale
shooting of soldiers at Camp Stotsen-
berg appears to have been the result
Of a feud between Private Beacham
and Sergeant Hoey. Private Wilson
and Sergeant Hoey were endeavoring
to induce a young soldier to stop
cumming with Beacham on the
ground that he was an improper char
acter. Beacham brooded over the mat
ter and, crazed with drink, attacked
and killed Hoey and Wilson. The
shooting of the others is reported to
have been unintentional. The three
bodies were brought to Manila for
shipment to America. 3 4. g.

He did not lose consciousness, but
