Day Set Apart at Commercial
Congress on Which Subject
Will Be Discussed.
WILL WORK IN HARMONY
PROBLEMS FOR SOLUTION ARE
CLOSELY ALLIED.

Kansas City, Aug. 23-It is practic-
ally assured that all, or nearly all the
members of the national conservation
commission appointed by President
Roosevelt will attend the forthcoming
annual meeting in San Francisco in
October of the Trans Mississippi Com
mercial congress. An entire day of the
congress program has been set aside
for the discussion of the conservation
of the country's resources. and it is
probable that additional time will be
given over to the subject.
5. j. Case of Abilene. Ran, president
of the Commercial congress, who some
time ago extended an invitation to the
conservation commission to attend the
San Francisco gathering. has received
a letter from Washington, D. c.. from
Thomas r. Shippey. the commissions
secretary. in which he says:
Your very generous offer to make
the meeting of the Trans Mississippi
Commercial congress a means of ex-
tending tile conservation movement is
accepted with a very keen apprecia-
ton. and if il meets your entire con-
venience to set aside q day in your
program for the discussion of this SUBJ
ject the commission will endeavor to
utilize it 10 the best advantage. Please
count on the commission for any as
sistance it can render in making your
meeting a success"
In reply sent today to Secretary
Shippey, President Case says: I'm view
of our invitation extended to you, we
have added another day. making five
days for our meeting, whereby we
could give you one day, and if neces-
sary more. say part of another day.
Our congress will be second only
this year. in my judgment. to the ma
tional conventions. We never had as
much encouragement and assistance
from the railway lines offered TO us as
we have at this time for the San
Francisco meeting, and ii is in our
territory, that is, the trans-Mississippi
section Our congress has worked
upon this particular subject for nine
teen long years, subject with which
you will find the delegates who attend
our congress in California are quite
familiar, and your commission will feel
very much at home at our meeting
