Some Startling Statistics.

The report of the national conservation
commission has not been published as
widely as ii deserves. for ii contains some
startling statements which every citizen
of the United States should know Among
other things it asserts that the waste In
the extraction and treatment of mineral
products in the United States for 1907
was equivalent to more than S3OONn 900
The available supplies of coal in the
United States. according to the commits
sion. approximate 1.4Oo.Ob00 n.GO tons
hut AT the present rate of production this
supply will approach exhaustion before
the middle of the next century. The chief
waste is in imperfect combustion I'm fur
naces and fire boxes. Steam engines util-
of the thermal energy of coal. Internal
com blIStiOn engines utilize less than -
per cent and in electric lighting less than
dered available.
States amount to about one billion dol
lars year. The direct and indirect
losses from fire during 1907 were about
of construction. OF this loss at least four
ff;hs. an average of one million dol
lars day, could have been prevented by
the use of f1reproof materials and
methods
The known supply Of high-grade iron
ores in the United States approximates
rate OF consumption cannot be expected

Welfare Of the Continent.

President Roosevelt feels that the con-
nection between the United States and
the two nations which lie to the north
and south is so intimate that they should
consider their mutual interests with re-
gard to natural resources from the stand
point of the general welfare of the con-
tinent with small regard to boundary
lines. Indeed. 1t is said that he consid-
cred inviting Canada and Mexico to the
first conservation conference at the White
House, but refraned from doing so be-
cause he was unwilling to run the remot-
est risk of asking these two nations to as
sociate themselves with the conservation
movement before it was certain that 1t
was going to succeed. Now that success
is assured he feels that since the two
nations have Identical interests and iden-
teal aspirations they can work together
along conservation lines just as the repre-
sentativeS of the states work together
without regard to state boundaries.
Early last year every acre of the public
timber lands in British Columbia, except
what has been leased, was placed in for
est reserves. This action was taken to
check waste by bringing the care and cut
ting of timber resources more effectualy
under government control 1t affected
1oo.ND.HO acres-as much land was
put into all national forests of this coun-
try up to 1907. In the Yukon all water
power rights are granted for only twenty
years. and at the expiration of that time
their control revertS to the public The
water POWER question is now one Of the
most important and far-reaching before
the United States today. President Diaz
of Mexico has a comprehensive knowledge
of forestry and understands fully the
benefits to be gained by its applications.
He is also deeply interested in the i'm
provement of agricultural methods and
the farmers of that country are rapidly
adopting scientific methods. Mexico has
few large waterways. but the nation has
provided for the expenditure of several
million dollars for the Improvement Of
internal navigation.

The supply Of stone. clay, cement lime.
sand and salt is ample. while the stock of
the precious metals and of copper. lead,
zinc. sulphur. asphalt. graphite. quicksil-
yer, mica and the rare metals cannot well
be estimated, but is clearly exhaustible
within one to three centuries unless un-
expected deposits be found.

DREW BILL DEFEATED.
Anti Japanese Legislation In califor-
MIA Probably At End.

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Feb. s.
With the defeat Of the Drew bill in
the Assembly yesterday, all hope Of
passing any Of the anti. Japanese
measures has been practically aban-
doned by the sponsors Of the new
regulations. One of the remarkable
features of the defeat Of the Drew
bill was the fact that it was accom-
plished in the face of an audience OF
1000 people, who widely applauded
every anti-Japanese sentiment otter
ed by the opponents of the measure,
Both sides made dramatic appeals to
the packed galleries, and in one of
these Nathan c. Coghlan, a San Fran
cisco Assemblyman who was an op-
ponent Of the bill made bitter at
tack of the Japanese. He has a
large labor union constituency and
MS opposition was based on the plea
that the bill would be distinctly harm
ful to labor by driving capital away.
Governor Gillett was highly pleas
ed with the action OF the assembly
1t is expected he will now proceed
with the measure which is designed
to secure an exact census Of the Jap.
anese in this state. Most Of the op-
position to the bill, according to the
speeches Of its opponents was based
either on grounds extraneous to the
japanese question, or on the argu-
ment that its passage would retard
rather than hasten the exclusion Of
the Japanese from this country.
