ties. about all phases of the forests
and of timber and lumber, about how
much of minerals we have left and the
probable duration of the mineral sup
ply, and about live stock, game and fish.
This is only the most hurried kind OF
general sum-up Of the schedule of III
quiries" of the national conservation
commission. Just what ii really is can
be seen only by studying copy of this
most unusual document, the "sched.

the first inventory he ever attempted
to make of his natural wealth. 1t car
be obtained by writing a letter to
Thomas r. Shipp. secretary Of the ma
tional conservation commission. forest
service, Washington. The conservation
commission also gets out bulletins of
progress which show just how rapidly
the conservation movement, started at
the White House conference of gov
ernors, is going forward.
All the government bureaus are push
ing work on the inventory of resources
in order that preliminary report may
be made to the national conservation
commission at its meeting in Washing
ton on Tuesday, Dec. l. One week
later, Tuesday, Dec. s. the governors Of
the states and territories or their rep
resentatives will meet in Washington
with the commission
The work of compiling the great
mass of material resulting from the in
quiries sent out by the different gov
ernment bureaus will be one of great
responsibility, requiring expert knowl-
edge and peculiar ability. For this
task President Roosevelt has selected
Henry Gannett of Washington, assist
ant director of the Cuban census. who
is now finishing the compilation Of
that census.
That the conservation movement is
absolutely nonpartlsan is shown in the
vigorous declarations in the platforms
of both leading political parties in fa-
vor Of conservation of natural re-
sources

In the majority Of such forest fires
as this the destruction of the timber
Is a more serious loss by far than
that of the cattle and buildings. for it
carries with it the impoyerishment of a
whole region for tens or even hundreds
stumpage value of the timber at the
time of the fire Is but small part of
the damage to the neighborhood. The
wages that would have been earned in
numbering. added to the value of the
produce that would have been pur.
chased to supply the lumber camps
and the taxes that would have been
devoted to roads and other public i'm
provements. furnish much truer
measure Of how much, sooner or later
It costs region when its forests are
destroyed by fire.
The Peshtigo fire Of October. 1871,
was still more severe than the Mira
nichi. II covered an area of more
Than 1000 square miles in Wisconsin
Ind involved loss in timber and other
property of many millions of dollars.
Between 1900 and 1900 persons per-
shed.
The most destructive fire of more re.
.ent years was that which started near
Einckley, Mimi, Sept. l. 1894. While
the area burned over was less than
IN some other great fires, the loss of
life and property was very heavy.
Hinckley and six other towns were de-
stroyed. about 500 lives were lost,
more than 1000 persons were left des-
titute, and the estimated loss in prop
.rty Of various kinds was $4,000. 900.
Except for heroic conduct Of locomo-
i've engineers and other railroad men
he loss Of life would have been much
greater. This fire was all the more de-
)lorable because it was wholly un.
necessary. For many days before the
high wind came and drove it into un.
,ontrollablH fury 1t was burning slow
y close to the town Of Hinckley and

made with the inventory of our natural
resources. Inquiries have been going
out from this ard that government Of

Checking Women's Bouquets.

In the checking room of New York
theater several large bouquets were
standing in vases full Of water. "They
belong to people in the audience" said
the maid in attendance. at seems the
fashion now for women to carry huge
bouquets to the theater. But can't
zee what good they do anybody, since
nobody sees them except myself. If
they were kept in the auditorium they
would wither during the performance,
so In order to keep them fresh till the
end of the play they are checked along
with hats and wraps"

TO COOK ON THE MARCH.
Russian Stew Pot Will Be Used by
United States Army.


In any future campaigns in which
the American army may be engaged
the Russian stew pot is to stand next
to the colors in Importance, says a
Washington dispatch. The commits
sary department after much thought
has decided upon that order of prece-
dence.
The Russian pot is recent discov
cry so far as the subsistence officers
are concerned. The Russians have
known of it a long time and used it in
Manchuria. The only objection to it
there was that it was too often empty.
1t has been adopted here as a part of
the field equipment.
The pot is put on wheels, and it has
a fire box, so that the making of a
savory stew can proceed during the
last few minutes of march and be
ready for the tired soldiers when they

IS NOT A VICTIM, BUT
A FRIEND, OF HAWAII

Mr.. J. H. Duncan, formerly of the
Gazette Company's linotype force
now living high up in the Rocky Noun
tains, at Leadville, Colorado, objects
very strongly to being dubbed q
''victim" Of Hawaii's charmsl tTC
quote, from a private letter just re-
ceived from him: 'tf.Sti
Gas regards that little chunk OF
my last letter you used for the paper
1 have only to say that if anything
/ say or write can be used to the
advantage of Honolulu or the Paradise
in general I'm entirely willing; but
L can lick the man who wrote that
head. He said / was a victim. Now
VICTIM according to Webster, is
one who is sacrificed. If the fellow
who constructed that Uranium thinks
there is any sacrifice connected with
saying nice things about Honolulu
he's certainly seeing things The
fact of the matter is, Mrs. ID. and my
self have been boosting committee
of two for the land OF the Rams. ever
since we landed in Frisco.
81 wrote you in my last letter about
the nice sleighing we were having, but
since that time chunk of Texas
weather slipped up here, and the snow
in large measure has disappeared from
the streets. OF course this is some
what of a bluff as March in this al
titude is VIGOROUSLY cranky, and We
undoubtedly will have considerable of
the beautiful before the real article
of summer strikes us.
81 took trout fishing trip this past
summer through the Hell Gate section
of the Frying Pan stream, and want
to state that the gentleman who ap-
piled those names had mighty fine
idea of the eternal fitness, for it is
certainly hot proposition at both

selection of granite boulders, through
banks composed of more granite bould-
ers, aided and abetted by granite
lodges stood carefully on end. L tore
my clothes scandalous, barked various
parts of my anatomy said some things
and perspired freely. Did l get any
fish, 1 refuse to discuss it. However,
the way the robust mountain mosquitoes
trimmed me up would have made the
delicate Hawaiian brand of that pesti-
ferrous bug (Cabellensis bignosi) asham-
ed of himself. 1 NAV be a -trife off
on that Dago appellation, but the fact
is it is an offshoot of one of those
hard itatic names the Experiment Sta
tion folks used to call the bugs they
had roped, hog-tied and couldn t fight
back. The name got stuck in my sys-
TEN and just got loose. But 1 had
more bumps on my mug than you III
find on healthy specimen of soursop.
And they hurt blamed sight worse. !"
