ON WATERWAY
Speaks to Rivers and fiarbors
Congress.
CREATES MUCH ENTHUSIASM.
A Policy Rather Than Project a Wise
Platform, But Projects Must Be
Attempted.

Washington, S~pecial.-Speaking in
strong endorsement of the policy of
waterway improvement, President
Taft stirred up much enthusiasm
during the opening hours of the sixth
convention Of The National Rivers
and Harbors Congress here Wednes-
day. Hundreds Of delegates, repre-
sentating every section OF the United
States, we're in attendance. Men and
women delegates gave the President
a noisy reception.
Upon being presented to the as
semblage by Joseph E. Ransdell,
president Of the congress, President
Taft dwelt upon his interest in the
policy. of waterway improvement, and
offered advice to the delegates, upon
methods for attaining the ends they
seek.
asI congratulate this congress-" said
MI. Taft, son having brought the
subject of waterways to such a point
that the representatives of Congress,
from one end Of the country to the
other, recognize it as a subject that
calls for action. They have not.come
to a definite conclusion as to the pol
icy that ought to be adopted, but
they have come to the conclusion
that some policy must be adopted
with reference to the development of
those instrumentalities which nature
has furnished for the transportation
of goods and for the controlling Of
railroad rates.
"You in your declaration say that
you are in favor of a policy and not
in favor Of any particular project. /
think that a wise platform to take:
and yet when it comes to the practi-
cal enforcement and accomplishment
Of something, you have got to get ir
to projects.
"Now 1 don't think / betray a &C.
cret when I say that the gentleman
who has most to do with the initia-
ton of projects in Congress is fully
charged with the necessity for doing
something in the next Congress to
f~oreshadow, or rather. to begin a pol
icy with respect to those rivers"

Semicentennial of Negro Freedom.
The year 1913 will mark the fftieth
anniversary of the issuance of the
emancipation proclamation granting
freedom to the negroes. 1t seems fit
ting hat this event should be proper
ly celebrated. Already g movement
has been started by prominent ne
groes, encouraged by prominent white
people and the press. The south es-
pecially is manisesting its interest in
this movement.
1t is suggested that a proper form
of celebration would be an exposi-
ton to show the progress the negroes
have made, not only during their pc
riod of freedom, but also from the
time of their coming to this country.
1 heartily indorse this proposal and
request that the executive be author
lied to appoint a preliminary COM
mission of not more than seven per-
sons to consider carefully whether or
not it is wise TO hold such an exposi-
ton, and if so to outline o plan for
the enterprise. / further recommend
that such preliminary commission
serve without salary, except as to
their actual expenses, and that an APP
preparation be made to meet such ex-
pense.
Conclusion.
I have thus, in a message compress
ed as much as the subjects will per-
nit, referred to many of the legis-
lative needs of the country. Speak
ing generally, the country is in a high
state of prosperity. There is every
reason to believe that we are on the
eve of a substantial business expan-
soin, and we have just garnered a
harvest unexempled in the market
value of our agricultural products.
The high prices which such products
bring mean great prosperity for the
farming community; but, on the other
hand they mean a very considerably
increased burden upon those classes
in the community whose yearly COM
~pensation does not expand witSl the
improvement in business and the gen.
eral prosperity. The increase in
population and the more expensive
mode of living Of the people, which
have not been accompanied by a pro-
portionate increase in acreage pro-
duction, may furnish a further rea-
son. It is well to note that the in
crease in the cost Of living is not con
fined to this country, but prevails the
world over, and that those who would
charge increases in prices to the e1-
listing protective tariff must meet the
fact that the rise in prices has taken
place almost wholly in those products
Of the factory and far min respect to
which there has been either no in
crease in the tariff or in many instan-
ces a very considerable reduction.

GOOD FORESTRY AT slLTMoRE.
What Is Being Done With 10000

What Is Being Done With 10000
Acres on Vanderbilt Estate.
In point of variety and scope the
forest work done On the Biltmore es-
tate, in North Carolina, is remark
allie, says a bulletin Of the Forest
Service. The forests. which cover
10000 ceres, are made profitable by
the production Of various forms OF
material. -Four million feet OF lrm-
Der, 5000 cords OF tannic-acid wood
and fuel. a thousand cords of tan
bark, and several hundred cords Of
pulp wood are cut every year. At
the same time the forest, through
wise management. is bettered and is
steadily increasing in value. Work
men employed along the boundaries
OF tho forest do duty as fire guards.
Thus fire protection is secured, ar
least throurhou: 81 the accessible
parts OF the tract.
In connection with ell numbering
operations permanent logging roads
are built. These minimize the pres
ent cost OF transportation, and viii
greatly reduce The cost Of MARKETING
future crops. Thus the extension OF
tho roads is steadily adding to TIE
investment value of the forest. More
over, they serve, also, as a network
of fire lines. Forest planting is prac-
tised where fire will not threaten its
success. The experimental work in
s%ilvisulture which is done al Biltrore
is certain to make important addi-
tons to tn, science and practice OF
