Betheny Aviation Field, Rheims,
France, Aug. 29.-Glenn II. Curtiss, the

BALLrNeER MAKES AN ADDRESS


Scattle.-Worn and exhausted from
his six days tour of the federal irri-
cation districts in the Yakima valley
Secretary of the Interior Baninger ar
rived at the national conservation con
gress late Saturday afternoon, made n
brief and somewhat colorless address
indorsing the purposes of the associa-
ton and the stand on the subject
taken by. President Taft, was given
mildly enthusiastic greeting by the
assembled delegates and fastened
away to his home in the city.
The controversy over the water
power resolution, started in the resolu-
lions committee recently, fzzled out on
the floor of the convention. United
States Judge G. H. Hanford stood alone
for his minority resolution. He oppos-
ed the contention Of the Pinchot men
that "water rights of the country be
long to all the people and should not
be granted in perpetuity to any indi-
vidual corporation"
Hanford contended that "private en-
terprise' had been the greatest power
in this country for the development of
resources and pointed out that through
private enterprise the resources of the
east have been put into practical use,
resulting in the general prosperity of
the country. He argued against any
change in the present policy of the gov
eminent, asserting that the western
states had entered the union under a
compact that they should have the
same rights as the eastern states.
Former Governor Pardee replied to
Hanford in spirited address, in which
he said that "private greed' instead
of "private enterprise was gobbling
up the public domain.
Judge Hanford was the only dele
gate to urge adoption of the minority
report. Many delegates had come pre-
pared to speak for the majority report,
but when they recognized from the
temper of the assembly how one-sided
the sentiment was, decided it was un.
necessary.
Ex-Governor Pardee Of California,
chairman of the committee, was the
only one to mention it from the floor.
The vote, while overwhelming, was not
quite unanimous. The appearance of
a federal judge to champion the re-
source grabbing side of a great ques-
ton of government policy aroused no
little amount of comment among the
delegates.

The wheat acreage in Washington is

acreage in Oregon is 43,415 acres over
that of 1908. The estimated Oregon
wheat crop is placed at 16,5OO,oO
