sure you that ! heartily agree with
your conclusion that the conservation
of the natural resources OF our country
presents problem demanding the
best thought OF our times is superfiu-
Gus. We have been exploiting our
resources with no thought Of the NOR
row. and the claims OF posterity upon
us should certainly be taken into ae.
count"
In his letter of invitation 70 the
conference President Roosevelt said:
There Is no other question now
before the nation Of equal gravity
with the question OF conservation OF
our natural resources. and II Is the
plain duty Of us who. for the moment,
are responsible. TO take inventory Of
the natural resources which have been
handed down to us. TO forecast the
needs OF the future. and so handle the
not TO destroy In advance all hope of
the prosperity Of our descendants"
The need for such n conference is
illustrated by few facts youched for
by investigators. Government experts
say that between 800. 900. 900 and 400.
900 900 tons OF coal were lost in 1906
by penny wise and pound foolish
methods, and that the total so wasted
since the beginning Of the industry
Il 10000. 0OO. 900 tons. Millions upon
millions of horsepower are going to
waste through failure properly to
utilize and conserve the waterpower OF
the United States.
The construction of reservoirs at
the sources OF streams IN which food
waters may be stored TO be released
al periods OF low water Is expected
not only TO keep the waters az a con.
tinuous level. but prevent the destruc-
ton OF property by foods. maintain
constant levels for navigation and to
develop water power.
At the present rate OF timber con.
sumption Il Is estimated that the price
Of every kind OF lumber win be about
double the present price only one de-
cade from to-day.
II Is said that the TOTAL iron ore
available In the world to-day Is 35..
900. 900. 900 tons. of which three-fifths
Is in the United States. Should the
rate Of consumption continue to In.
crease In Che United States Ia the
same ratio that Il has In the course of
the last score Of years. az the end Of
two centuries there would be no
more ore to be mined.
In the United States there Is an area
of I7k OOO 600 arrea NJ land suacaDefhia

100000 acres OF western public range
which may be made available for In.

an outline OF his views OF the mat.
ter. While on his trip dowl the Mis-

errors OF l6 states, under the auspices
OF the Inland Waterways association,
he Is said TO have obtained the
nucleus Of the idea which resulted In
