was placed on the retired list OF
the navy today.
Today Rear Admiral Charles Still
man Sperry celebrates his sixty
second birthday and under the law
retires from active service in the navy.
He leaves behind a glorious record OF
forty-three years in the service OF his
country His service has been mainly
during times of peace, for he was
missing service in the closing days OF
the civil war. He passed by con-
tinuous service through grades of en-
sign, master, lieutenant, lieutenant
commander and commander. He was
made captain in 1900.
[ Much of Admiral Sperry's time has
been spent as instructor at Annapolis
in mathematics. for proficiency in
which he had been noted as a student
During the Spanish war Commander
Sperry is reported to have sought the
bureau at Washington for a ship, but
was told
You can have ship, but that is not
where we need you. Any officer can
command a ship. We need your execu
tive ability at home. You go up to
Brooklyn and straighten out the
tangle there"
Admiral Sperry's most notable
achievement was the bringing home in
safety the great American fleet, which
he commanded after the fleet reached
San Francisco. His appointment tc
succeed Rear Admiral Robley d
Evans brought him into international
prominence.

EXPERT WOOD MAKES STATE
MENT OF SURVEY LINKING os
kALoosA WITH oTTuMWA via
FREMONT AND EppYviLLE.
MAJOR SPILMAN
is GIVEN DUTIES
WELL KNOWN oTTuMWAN WILL
BEGIN AT ONCE TO SECURE
RiGHT-oF-WAY OPTIONS FOR
NEW LINE-MoRE TO FOLLOW

Three routes connecting Oskaloosa
with Ottumwa have been reported up
on by Robert p. Wood, the interurban
expert who has been surveying tho
proposed routes of the interurban out
OF Ottumwa for the past few weeks
and Major t. P. Spilman has been
appointed right-of-way agent with a,i.
thority to begin Immediately to secura
options on the right-of-way. The
routes, which have been surveyed to
Oskaloosa are by way Of Fremont, ari4
other via Kirkville and the third by
way of Eddyville. Until Major Spill
man makes a complete report of the
land options he secures, together with
statement relative to the tag some
communities will vote for the interur.
ban, the actual cost of the road and
the route which will be selected will
not be made known.
+ More Routes contempIated.
While the work of Expert Wood has
ended in Ottumwa and vicinity for the
present, and a road is practically as
sured between Ottumwa and Oska-
loosa, the labors in an interurban way
are by no means at an end. The fact
Is they have just begun, and as quick
ly as the proposed line is built and
becomes reality, work will be CON,
centrated on other routes, linking still
more towns to this city.
The exact route to Oskaloosa will
largely depend upon the success at
tending Major Spilman's efforts to se-
cure reasonable options for right-of-
way and the other considerations in
the way of tag and patronage. Until
Mr.. Spilman makes complete canvas
of the routes surveyed and secures all
data pertaining thereto, together with
the compilation of other statistics, ths
chosen route will be unknown.
No great opposition is expected
along any Of the routes, and the need
of an interurban will doubtless infln-
ence many property owners to pro.
vide the necessary right-of-way at q
reasonable figure.
VIII Employ Force.
Major Spilman will be assisted IN
his work by a force of men, the nuuns
Der of which has not yet been decided.
He was appointed to the position this
morning, and therefore has had but
little time in which to formulate any
plans. 1t is known, however, that hs
will give to the work his best efforts,
and all haste will be made to complete
4 his task.

CHIEF FORESTER P|NCHCT
DISCUSSES. CONSERVATION
In Letter to DR.. Abbot He Dis
cusses Various Phases of the
Situation as Related to
Private Citizen.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The follow
ing letter of Clifford Piachot. chief
OF the United states forest service.
was written to DR. Lyman Abbott,
Of New York in response to the fol-
lowing quest ons on the national
conservation policy asked by him:
l. What does conservation
stand for?
?. What has conservation TO do
with the welfare of the average
man today?
3. What is the danger to the
conservation policies in the coming
session Of congress?
4. Why IS it important to pro-
tect water powers?
,. How must IL be done?
G. Does the same principal APP
ply to aavigable streams as to non
navi gable?
My Dear Mr.. Abbott:
The questions contained in your
letter OF November IS are well
worth answering, and ! am gla TO
reply:
l. What does conservation stand
for?
The control thing for which con-
servation stands is TO make this
country the best possible place to
live in, both for us and for our des-
cerdants. IL stands against the
waste of the natural resources which
can be renewed like the food pro-
ducing soils and the forests; and
most OF all it stands for am equal
opportunity for every Amer can
citizen to get his fair share OF bene-
TIT from these resources, both now
and hereafter.

KIND OF practical common sense
management OF this country by the
people that every business man
stands for il the handling of his
own business. II believes in prudence
and foresight instead o.. reckle
blindness: it holds that resources
now public property should not be-
come the basis for oppressive private
monopoly, and it demands the com
plete and orderly development OF al
our resources for the benefit of all
the people. Instead sof the partial
exploitation of them for the benefit
Of few. 1t recognizes Bully the
right of the present generation to
use what it needs ana all il needs
OF the natural resources now avail
able, but it recognizes equally our
obligations TO use what we need that
our descendants shall not be de.
Drived OF what they need.
2 What has conservation to 10
with the welfare of the average man
today?
Conservation has much to do with
the welfare Of the average man to-
ay 1t proposes to secure con
tinuous and abundant spply on the
necessaries of life. which means n

needs because there is none eft mr.
because he can not oyer to pay for
II In both cases the essential fact
is that he can not get what he
needs. Conservation holds that II
is about as important to see that
the people i'm general get the beae-
ut of our natural resources as to
see that there shall be natural re-
sources left.
Conservation is the most demo-
cratic movement that the people
have not only the right but the duty
TO control the use OF the natural
resources which are the great
sources of prosperity And 4 re-
CARDS the absorption of these re-
sources by the special interests UNI
less their operations are under eff
iective public control as moral
wrong Conservation is the appFca-
ion of common sense TO the com
mon prblems for the common good
and believe it stands nearer to the
desires aspirations AMI purpose of
the average man than any other
policy now before the American
people
3. What is the danger to the
conservation policies in the coming
es sion Of congress?
Congress must decide at this scs
Sioh whether the great coal fields
st II in public ownership shall re-
main so in order that their use may
be controlled with due regard to
the interest o. the consumer or
whether they shall pass into pri-
vate owner hip ard be controlled
in the monopol site interest of a
few
Congress must decide also wheth-
or immensely valuable rights TO the
use of water power shall be given
away TO special interest i'm perpe-
tuity and without compensation in
stead OF being hell and controller
by the public
I'm most cases actual development
Of water power can best be done by
private interests acting under pub
lie control but it is neither good
, sen O. nor good morals. TO let those
valuable privileges pass FIRM the
public ownership for nothing and
