I do not intend to discuss that in detail this afternoon, but there has arisen within the last seven years a deep feeling on the part of the people that we must protect the re- sources that the Lord gave to this con tinent. in order that our property may not be embarrassed, strained and even starved. In involves the saving of the forests and in reforestation of lanu which has been denuded, of forests. II involves the saving of the water power so that the public may enpoy It at req sonable rates. 1t involves the savihs of the coal land SO that the supply of coal shall be more or less under the care of the public.
 And 1t involves the extension m every direction of the reclamation or our arid lands To one man, more than any other Is the fact due that the issa" is before the people, and that they have become impressed, with the necessity for our saving and not wasting the resources that God has given us, ana that man Is Theodore Roosevelt It was not reserved for him to be in omce as president in the development. even Tn the first of these great works It has often happened that one man sows ana another reaps, q fact that l could not help but feel. when stood at the mouth of the Gunnison tunnel

Salt Lake City. Utah. Sept 25.-As a result of several long conferences with Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot here to- day, President Taft tonight caused to be issued a statement. in which 1t is declared that never, at any time dur lnx the Ballinger- -Pinchot controversy has the president intended to reflect up- on Mr. Pinchot and in which Mir. Taft takes a more forward stand than ever favor of the Roosevelt policies for conservation of natural resources.
 The president indicates that what is to be done in the way of reclamation of arid lands must be done within the law, but announces his intention of ap- plying to congress for such legisla- tion as will put the Roosevelt policies on the frmest possible hasis.
 Mir Pinchot before leaving tonight fro Washington, also issued a statement. tn which he makes public a portion of President Tafts letter. written to the chief forester at the time the let ter to Secretary Ballinger was dicat- ated. The president said he hoped MT. Pinchot would not find reason in the Ballinger letter for resigning.
 T shall not resign" declared MT Pinchot and he adds that he Is going to continue to serve the govern ment along the same line he has pursued in the past, concluding with the state ment

 The snowdrop was given up for lost long ago and all on board her had been mourned as dead until a few days ago when a member of the crew made his way to civilization via Hud- son Bay. As he had not been with the party for several months it was still feared that all were lost.

RACING RAsCALITY.
DOctOrtng Saddle With QulckIIme
 Makes a Horse Run Out.

Tit Bits.
 There would seem to be no limit to the ingenuity some men display in thinking out tricks of roguery where horses are concerned.
 A famous retired jockey, who has in his day won the Derby, the Oaks and the St. Leger, and who now lives near Middleham, in Yorkshire, lately gave the writer instances of what he called the 'thievish tricks" that had come within his own knowledge.4
 Perhaps the most rascally of these quicklime. Unbeknown to the owner of the horse or the jockey, quantity of quicklime was placed between the padding of a saddle and the thin outer lining that presses on to the horses back, obviously with the intention of making the horse buck. or run out of the course. or crash into a fence-the race in which he ran was a steeple- chase-when his sweat should wet the lime and make 1t burn. But the ruse failed. for though the animal was se- verely burned. and though the agony did make him bolt, he took all his fences and won. Many weeks elapsed, however, before it was possible again to put a saddle on his back.
 On another occasion well-known gentleman rider discovered. just as he was mounting a friends horse that he

He told me of wintering at my quarters and told me that Commander Peary was up North and that he had spot ted my party over the ice. That was the first had heard of Peary being there.
 "We went to the supply house and told MT. Whitney l had been to the pole. In discussing my route it oc, cured to me that as Mir. Whitney ex- pected a vessel to come for him. 1t would be good plan to send to Ann erica my documents and instruments on his ships because of their greater safety of transport by water He readily agreed to do so and when he comes I'm sure they will be aboard In good shape.

 The Peary proofs are still kept under cover and neither General Hubbard nor Command Peary will make known thel.. nature but it Is learned that they do not in any way depend upon what Dr..

 discovered the pole nor did he know that any one on the Roosevelt Knew l 1t until he received a message rom | the Associated Press. Contihuihs' Commander Peary said:
 "I have absolutely no Intention or making statement previous to my interview with General Hubbard at Bar Harbor unless there Is change of plans to suit General Hubbard. HaV1 ing turned over certain papers to him,

 Commander Pesry understands that Lewis A. Delafield is counsel for the Peary Arctic Club and that General Hubbard is acting only in the capacity of president of the club.

Honolulu, Sept. 25-L M Hale, J Reynolds and Ernest Moses. a photo grapher, descended today into the pill of the crater of Mount Kalauea, re- maining a half hour on the edge of a boiling lake of lava and fire. This Is the first time this feat has been ac- complished.
 Members of the party ventured al- most to the rim of the seething lake and attempted to take photographs The heat was intense and at times the adventurers walked over partially melted areas.
 Kalauea is one of the largest active volcanoes in the world. Its altitude Is 4,400 feet and the circumference of it's crater is about nine miles with a depth varying from TOO to HOO feet ,lepending upon the level of the molten lava. Violent eruptions occurred in 1797, 1S40 and 1866.
