NATIONAL INVENTORY.

with request for suggestions and
criticisms. This has resulted in OBJ.
tanning the expert AZ ice OF the men
at the head Of the different bureaus
who VIII have immediate charge OF
the collection OF the material.
President Roosevelt, who is keeping
in close touch with the commission.
has approved this method and has
written to each chief of bureau a
letter commencing the enthusiastic co.
operation shown by the bureau chiefs
and emphasizing his belief In the great
importance of the work the national
conservation commission has In mind.
Among the government bureaus that
will furnish large part Of the i'm.
portant information the commission
is seeking are the bureau OF corpora
tions OF the department OF commerce
and labor. under Commissioner Her.
bert Knox Smith; the bureau OF the
census. under Director North: the for
est service. under direct supervision
of the chairman OF the commission and
Overton w. Price. secretary OF the for.
est section OF the commission; the
reclamation service. under Director
Newell, the geological survey, under
Director Smith; the corps OF engineers
of the army, under It's new chief. Gen.
William l.. Marshall. and almost every
bureau under the department OF agri.
culture.
Cooperation among all the agencies
now engaged In this inventory taking
Is conspicuous feature. Taking the
membership Of the national commits
sion and the several memberships OF
the state commissions together. the
number OF persons engaged and inter
ested in the work is large One OF
the most important requirements is
therefore. to make sure that eyery
step OF the work is known to all who
are sharing In II. so that there may be
the utmost amount OF coordination
and concentration, no misdirccted en-
ergy and no duplication.
Accordingly. bulletins OF progress
and information are issued TO the ON
GERS Of the commissions. the state com
missions and others. and a yolumin
Gus correspondence is kept up. 10
this way the work. complex and scat
tered as II is. is effectively centralized
and simplified.

suits for Good of All.

ngton.-Actual work on the
inventory of the natural resources OF
the United States has begun. Under
the direction of the national conserva
ton commission, 1t will be carried on
vigorously throughout the summer
This is necessary In order to enable
the commission TO make the report
President Roosevelt has requested OF
ii for January /, 1909.
A meeting OF the chiefs of bureaus
of the executive department has been
held. and the heads of the various d.
visions concerned with the country =
natural resources have offered their
hearty cooperation in the task the
commission has undertaken. So now.
within only few days more than a
month from the date the national con.
servation commission was named by
the president, active work is going on
in every bureau Of the government
that can furnish material available for
the commissions report.
A great amount of this material al.
ready is available in the government
department: other important parts of
it, however, will be collected through
special channels. Among these will
be the state conservation commits
sions, which the governors are APP
pointing: and some of the great ma.
tional organizations that were repre-
scented at the White House conference
and that have entered with spirit into
the general conservation movement
In other words. the machinery for
making the first inventory OF the re.
sources OF the nation ever attempted
has been set in motion and is running
smoothly.
Clifford Pinchot, chairman OF the
commission. has changed his plans
and win return to Washington shortly
TO continue personal supervision of the
work. By early fall the commission
expects to have in hand sufficient
material to begin the study OF the
stock of the country's resources. and
by the middle OF October II hopes to
have the greatest part of this material
in hand. This will be necessary in
order that the full commission. which
holds its first melting Tuesday, Decem.
Der /. in Washington, may take up at
once the study of the facts that the
summers work has brought together.
One week later the commission will
hold a joint meeting In Washington
with the governors Of the states. or
their representatives. with a view OF
bringing about further and closer co
with the various state com.
missions.
The commission has devised a new
and interesting method by which TO
collect this material. A schedule of
Inquiries. embracing the whole sub
ject of nservation-wateTs, forests,
lands and minsrals-has been ar.
ranged and sent to each bureau chief

PICKING THE OLYMPIC GREW
ONE MAN FROM EACH OF THE
LEADING VARSITY FIGHTS.

The committee selected by the Olympic
regatta has practically agreed on plan
for securing a crew to repre- sent America
next July at this great gathering on the
famous Henley course. and it is almost
certain that the picking will be made
from the college crews that will row at
Poughke epsie and New London.
This determination was made known to
a representative of The Star by Messrs.
Pilkington Of the National Association of
Amateur Oarsnen and Julian Curtis
OF the Metropolitan Association DIETER
known as the American Henley at the
meeting held in New York last Saturday.
thar after thorough canvass of the
situation IL was the only practicable solu-
ton of the question.
The plan. as suggested by a local oars
man in The Star, of selecting two rep
resentative oarsmen from the cities OF
Boston. Washington, New York and
Philadelphia. after being certified by the
leading associations of the four cities.
was presented for the committees con-
sheraton and was discussed considerably
by the oarsmen present at the conference.
The suggestion found adherents. but
those opposed soon advanced arguments
that practically sidetracked the idea and
really forced the committee to fall back
on the college men the only ones
that could be utilized for the crews make
up.
The English definition of an oarsman
of the amateur class is SO drastic in its
wording that the committee could not
find an eight made up as the local oarsman
suggested that would pass muster in Eng
