Sacramento. Cal, Oct. 4.-After making one of the longest jumps on his trip. and travelling for twenty five hours through the state of Ore gon and the northern half of Cali fornia, President Taft arrived here tonight at 7:10 o'clock, to remain until 1 o'clock tomorrow morning when he will proceed to Oakland and met at the station by another of the large crowds that have marked his advent into every western city vis- ited.

 The president selected for the prin- cipal feature of his speech the con- servation of natural resources, in which he declared anew that before many of the Roosevelt policies of conservation can be carried into ef- feet, confirnatory and enabling leg islation must be secured, and he pledged himself to use all his power to induce congress to pass the laws deemed necessary.
 Having already made a number of set speeches covering the vari- ous subjects he expects to incorpor- ate in his message to congress in December. the president during the rest of his tour will take up for discussion, in more or less detail, many phases of the larger questions, for he believes details count for more than a mere general declaration of policy.
 While to the average mind the thought of day and nightly uninter- rupted travel suggests discomfort and fatigue, the twenty-five hours between Portland and Sacramento proved to be a period of real rest and enjoyment for the president.

The members of the committee from San Francisco represented supporters of both factions of the graft prosecu- tion."
 Representatives McKinlay and Knowland also extended California s welcome to the chief executive. Sen ator Bourne of oregon accompanied the president all the way to Sec ramentO.
 From the rear of the train at Duns- muir. MT. Taft said, in part:
 Everywhere in this country I have found evidences of prosperity, from Boston to Portland, and if signs do not fail. we are upon an era of business enterprise and expansion that has never been seen in this country before. Now. with that, would not have you forget there are certain responsibilities. We have had evils growing out of our prosperity Men have seized power by means of the accumulation of wealth and its use in methods that are not legal and cannot be approved, by the way of monopoly and otherwise. Now we are attempting by the general laws of the United States to SUD- press that kind of business. They were brought to the attention of the people in a marvellous crusade by my predecessor, and it is my duty to continue his policies and enforce them as far as l may, and put upon the statute books, or at least rec ommend to congress that there be put upon the statute books those laws which shall clinch the progress which was made under him, which he preached and which we all look for ward to as a permanent condition.
 But the difficulty is that when
