PETITION IS OUT
TO REMOVE:
m
TEURKE !:

Resolved, that Carl w. Tuerke,
member of the board of public
works, should be removed from Of
flee by the city council because he
is illegally holding the same, in
violation of the provisions of the
city charter, which provides that
no more than one member of the
board of public works shall be
from the same ward.
THAT his action in handling the
Sprague avenue fill will In all
probability involve the city in an
expensive law suit.
THAT his official conduct has
tended to promote discord and
trouble between the city council
and the executive departments OF
the city government, which will
continue so long as said Tuerke is
permitted to remain in office and
is permitted to NEEDLE in the at
fairs of his fellow officials"
This, in brief, is the sense OF a
petition that is being circulated
calling upon the city council to re-
move Carl w. Tuerke, street and
police commissioner, from public
office. 1t is being circulated Tor
the signatures Of councilmen only
and will be laid before that body at
it's regular meeting Tuesday night.

PRESIDENT SHOWS
SYMPTOMS OF GOING
OUT ON A STRIKE
BY ROBERT H. HAZARD.

The president is showing symp-
toms of going on a strike. He Is
chatting under additional work
given him by local committees In
various towns, and unless enthusi-
astic gentlemen quit giving him ex,
ira stunts there will be evidence of
presidential displeasure by peremr
tory cutting short Of programs
Montrose, Col. broke Tafts pal
thence. The original program was
increased by two speeches and an
extra supper. Taft attended ALL
but when the train arrived at Anal
conda, he kept the local committee
waiting an hour before taking Gthe
long tour of the smelter. At Ogi
den Taft cut the program inlohalf

himself in his stateroom. 81

not now discuss. The subject would
involve wider discussion than
have time to give it.
1.-THE plan of the government to
reclaim the arid and semi-arid
lands manifested in the reclama-
ton act, has ben carried out most
rapidly by the bureau charged with
Its execution. l had the honor the
other day in Colorado of opening

Colorado, known as the Uncom-
pahgre valley, with some 100000
acres, and OF put it in a condition
to grow fruit and cereals. There
are some 80 projects which have
been entered upon by the rec
lamation bureau. and believe that
all of them are to be commended
for their excellent adaptation for
the purpose for which they were
erected, and for the speed with
which the work was done"
Congress Too Generous.
Regarding the subject of land
grants given to private parties, the
president said that congress had
been altogether too generous in
times gone by. An instance of this
was the grants given the Pacific
railroads.
Il am not criticizing congress in
the slightest for this policy" he
said. ut certainly was necessary
to make extensive grants to secure
the construction of a railroad
which should unite the Pacific
coast with the Atlantic coast and
bring closer to the eastern sea-
board the far distant regions of
this country. I merely refer to it
in historical way to explain the
character of the statutes now upon
the statute books with reference to
the sale and disposition of public

ton: am. going to take up today
the subject of the conservation of
our national resources. This has
been given a very wide scope.

ground today. shall confine my
attention to those parts of the pol
icy which are certainly within the
jurisdiction of the national govern
ment, and which especially concern
the country. west of the Missouri
river
Il refer, first, to the preservation
of the national forests; second. to
the reclamation of the arid and
semi-arid lands by irrigation; third,
to the disposition of water power
sites upon public lands, with proper
restrictions upon the use, both in
respect to the Compensation, it's ex-
tent in poin tot time and the adj

the public by the beneficiary of the

coal, oil and phosphate lands

such restrictions as will permit
their development for private
profit and yet will prevent monop-
oily and extortion in the sale of the
product.
Praises Pinchot.
Il do not stop to discuss at
length the forestry question. The
wonderful progress made by Mr..
Pinchot. with the earnest support
of Mr.. Roosevelt and Secretary
Wilson. at times has met the de-
nunciation of persons in this west
ern country on the ground that the
property was being taken which
congress intended for individuals,
and was being held from them. But
/ think generally the opposition to
Mr.. Pinchot's plans has disap-
peared and that the great body OF
American people recognize the
benefit of the reform in reference
TO forestry, and greatly regret that
ii was not begun years before. Con-
gress has come fully to recognize
the necessity for pursuing forestry
reform by making liberal appropri-
ations for the purpose. The forest
lands of the United States ought to
be surveyed and carefully pre-
served, and its jurisdiction in re-
spect to them clearly defined.
States Should Control.
The regulation of forests in pri-
vate ownership within state boun-
daries is not plainly within the
scope of federal jurisdiction, and it
should be undertaken by the
states. / do not think that the
states have taken - the matter
with as much energy as they ought,
and have not improved the oppor-
tunity which was given them by
way of example by the forestry bu-
reau of the United States. The

With the waving u hats and
handkerchiefs and amid cheers
from thousands of throats, Presi-
dent Taft was given his first real
reception from the citizens of Spo-
ksne In the big parade on River
side avenue. 1t was a sight long to
be. remembered. The sidewalk lin
ing Riverside avenue from Monroe
10 Browne streets was jammed
with people anxious for just one
glimpse of the president.
There was not single window
n the blocks on either side of the
street that was not taxed to its
fullest capacity. What was the
cause of all the people in Spokane
trying to be on Riverside avenue?
Why, "Bill" Taft is in town. All
eyes were turned in one direction,
each person wanting to obtain the
first view of the chief executive.
Suddenly a cheer was heard three
Or four blocks up the street. Here

people and the various colors of
the uniforms fthe soldiers min
gled with the fraternal organiza-
tons it was very imposing spec
tacle. The national guard and the
regulars from Fort George Wright
presented an especially attractive
appearance. The mail carriers,
headed by Postmaster Edris, were
in the line of march, as were also
the college cadets from Gonzaga
college. The college cadets made
a great hit by performing many
military maneuyefs on the street
while marching.
& All members OF the Red Men
were dressed AZ Indians and
mounted on horses. A representa-.
ton of the Boston tea party was
given on a float by having a bunch
of Red Men with hatchets breaking
tea chests. The parade was ended
with two or three vrey deliberately
decorated automobiles.
