CONSERVATION
ADDRESS
Delivered by Supervisor
Scott Leavitt at st. Paul.
An Able Talk on Matters of
Import to the State.

Supervisor Scott Leavitt of the
Superior National Forest was in
St. Paul last week attending a very
successful meeting of the State
Forestry Association. One of the
features contributing to the success
of the meeting was the address de-
livered by Mr.. Leavitt in which he
gave much valuable information
and logic as follows:
That this State Forestry Associ-
alton exists is one of the surest
promises that the future welfare of
Minnesota is secure. Small though
its membership may be at present
time, it is the exemplar of sound
gospel of economic truth which,
greatly aided by the consistent
support and enthusiastic promul-
CATION by such organizations as
this, is moving convincing1y over
this land of ours into the minds of
thinking men and women, and, at
every turn, converting its hearers
into believers of the staunchest
quality. This gospel to which
refer, and for which this organiza-
ton stands, is the conservation of
the natural resources of Our common
country. There is no more vital
question before our nation today
than this problem of conservation
nor can there be any more import
ant and significant move made
during the incumbency of our
Honorable Governor than the step
which he has recently taken in
calling together representative
men from all the sections of this
State to plan for the converting of
a great conservation congress in St.
Paul during this winter. For
there is no more uncontrovertible
fact than that it is economically

foot of the homebuilder was upon
the margin of the western sea, and
tor every step they took through
the generations of pioneering men
found before and all about them
such vast natural wealth that they
grew accustomed to drawing upon
its capital and taking no thought
of the fact that that capital, vast
though it was, could ever have an
end: its lavish use became habit of
mind"
The idea which has always
prevailed that homes must be made
to bring about the development of
a country is a true one. But it is
just as true that the home and the
economic, political and social insti-
tutions of our country which rest
upon the home as their foundation,
which serve humanity in civilized
nation and which have been estab-
lished and rooted deep in the very
necessity of human affairs, demand
that the future as we'll be wisely
provided for. A nation which
spends its resources in rapid growth
and in so doing makes no provision
for the maintaining of the system
which it has built up and upon
which it rests must of necessity
arrive at a period of impoverish-
ment, of enforced readjustment of
its economic affairs and of distress
in its social and political life.
That the danger has been seen
in time is we'll. That the promul-
cation of the doctrine OF the con-
servation of national resources by
wise use instead of lavish waste has
been met in sonic places with sus-
picion, in others with opposition
and in others with indifference is,
as 1 have said not strange. 1t has
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-12-17

had to deal with long established
beliefs and prejudices on the one
hand and with interests whose
greed for present gain. has out
weighed their patriotism and de-
sire for their country's welfare on
the other. That it has also met
with hearty acceptance, that its
gospel is fast pervading the country,
that such organizations as this
have formed. that President and
the Governors of States have
called conservation congresses,
that the National congress has
passed much needed legislation,
these things are very encouraging
indeed. The National resources
will be conserved, and awakened
public opinion is sweeping the
medieval ideas of an old belief into
oblivion, and it is we'll.
The Forest Service of the
United States, as we'll as the For
estry movements of the various
States, is one of the resilltssof this
conservation movement. The
apostles of conservation were QUICK
to discover how much of the welfare
of the country depends upon its
forests. Indeed how few Of the
multitudenous industrissssof our
civilization there are which do not
depend in considerable measure
upon a plentiful and cheap supply
of wood. To exhaust the supply
timber would necessitata Rneconom-
ic reconstruction far reaching in
deed. But that is not all. The
coal supply of the country is not
exhaustless, and water power must
be even more in the future than
now the force behind commerce,
behind manufactures, behind the
very industrial existence of the

But when the timber has been re-

melt slowly and their waters sink
into the earth to form springs and
emerge as rivers whose flow is
comparatively steady throughout
the year. But with the protecting
forest gone more rain evaporates in
the sun. The winter SHOWS lying
exposed to the warm sun of spring
rush down in early floods, aud in
the summer drought furnish little
or no supply. In some localities
of the east water power has already
become serious question. But
that even is not all. There are
places where these sudden floods
from the denuded appalachians
have washed down the soil of the
mountains upon the formerly fer
tile farms below and have caused a
double devastation: The removal
of the forest soil of the upland and
the running of many acres of agri-
cultural land of the valleys. What
