The first of a series of important
States composing the American
Union, was held last week in Wash :
ington, the President presiding. The
broad question was considered of the
conservation of the natural re-
sources of the country, the most
magnificent that fortune has ever
vouchsafed to people. AS great
forests are being converted into
lumber in the Western States, that
seems something like slaughter, it
may be that there must come more
complete federal control. AS a re-
suit of the conference, lengthy
declaration was made. Perhaps
greater in Importance than all else
was the determination OF the Gov
ernors to perfect a permanent or
ganization whereby heretofore un-
known intimacy may be developed
among the executives OF the 46
sovereign states, made strong by a
common purpose, and made potent
by pronouncements which may not
lightly be disregarded. Also, that
there is no limitation by the con-
stitution to the agreements that may
be made between the States, sub
ject, of course, to the approval of
Congress. The conference, in all its
deliberations, looked upon the
natural resources of this country as
heritage to be made use of in
establishing and promoting the COM
fort, prosperity and happiness of the
American people, but not to be
wasted, deteriorated, or needles sly
destroyed. And that this idea should
find expression in suitable acts by
Congress.

One thing of which all West Pointers
felt proud was the brotherly love and
kindness shown by both sides 10 fell

heard the story told of Fitzhugb Lee
that on one occasion when scouting
with a squadron of cavalry In the de
batable country between Fairfax
Courthouse and Alexandria he cap
tured picket OF a similar commander
under Tom Height and learned that
the latter was taking breakfast In a
farmhouse. Fitz went In alone, found
Tom at table with his back to the door,
so he was able to get up TO him and
slap him on the back before saying,
II think. Tom, you might have put out
one picket" They took breakfast to
gether, and then Fitz sent an escort to
conduct him to the Federal lines and
bring back his horse, having of course
first paroled him. This was to save

Hon. VIM. w. Thomas, so long the
U. S. Minister to Sweden and Norway
is back to Portland on a visit to his
old home. In speaking of the finan-
eial panic, he said;
"The financial and commercial
crisis which started last year in
America has been felt throughout
Europe and the world. The Scandi-
navian countries, Sweden, Norway
and Denmark, have suffered with our
selves and as the crisis came there
later than with us, so the recovery
will be later also. 1t is my convic-
ton today the industrial depression
which always follows financial
crash is more deeply felt in Scandi-
navia than in America, and that the
recovery there will be slower than
the recovery with us. l found that
the commercial depression on both
sides of the Atlantic has seriously at
fected the trans Atlantic commerce.
The steamers that are crossing the
Atlantic are carrying fewer passen-
gers than usual and freights have
sunk to minimum. But everything
seems to indicate that at least in
America the worst of the crisis is
over and that we are again advanc-
ing, slowly it may be, but surely,
towards brighter days.

Last week were dedicated the new
buildings of the College of the City OF
New York. Those completed number
seven, and each is an imposing struc-
ture. They occupy a spacious tract
stretching from 13Sth to 140th street,
and from Amsterdam Avenue to st.
Nicholas Terrace. Few American
and not many European universities
are more commodiously aud sumptu-
ously housed or more efficiently
equipped. And this is the product of
single municipality. The progress
made is astounding, as the institution
is but sixty years old. 1t has turned
out learned graduates to fill nearly all
the professions and occupations of
active life.

SCHOOL NOTES

Edward Defoe has reentered school.
He has been attending school at Sky
komish.
Paul Weigand is new scholar in
the third grade.
Thursday was Arbor day. 1t is the
usual custom for schools to plant trees
upon that day but the Leavenworth
Schools changed the order of the day
and they are not sorry for it, strange to
say. Come to see if you do not think
that the school grounds are materially
improved. We think they are and
yet no trees were planted.
Next week is the seventh month re-
port. What kind of grades will you
get, children? Are you expecting
promotion at the end Of the year?
We are sorry to say that large num-
Der will be retained in the present
grade unless some extra hard work is
done between now and the end of the
year. We would like to see all pro-
NOTED but don't expect it unless each
pupil has done his best.

The case Of Don Thomas against the
town of Leavenworth was decided in
the superior court in Wenatchee last
week in favor of the plaintiff, he get
ting a verdict for $3.50 and his costs.
This matter grew out of goods furnished
by Thomas to some INDECENT paupers a
year ago. 1t was rejected by the coun-
Gil because the account showed articles
Of luxury and COW and chicken feed
furnished, and the council did not
think that the town should furnish in
digent paupers articles Of luxury for a
diet or feed for their COWS and chick
ems, taking the ground that if they
had chickens and cows to feed, they
were not paupers within the meaning
Of the law. Thomas however claimed
he had been told by the mayor or
some member of the council to let the
family have what they called for.
