Conservation of Resources

"Then too, the needs in respect 10 conserving our natural resources, amendment to the public land system, execution of the pure food law and other important matters that should demand attention, make the legislative and executive labor of the next three years heavy enough, if our purposes are carried out. to exhaust the energy of the most enthusiastic and hopeful. Still. the world is making progress our country is making progress. Occas- ionally one hears note like that of Governor Johnson, dcnouncing the east and calling upon the west to organize in q sectional way against the east be cause the east is deriving more bene- fit from the governmental policy than the west, and at the expense of the west.
 ''lt is difficult for one to treat such an appeal seriously. Throughout this country there is free trade of the freest character, and on account of this the prosperity of the west, especially the agricultural west, is even more pro nounced than that of the east. How ever, the east is too close to the Pacific coast, too close to the middle west, too close to the Rocky mountains, because all the people of these western stretches have eastern ancestry and eastern con nections and because they have eastern capital with which their sections have been largely built up and because they are too much assisted by the eastern people in enhancing the prices which their products bring, to make such an attempt at sectionalism successful

Arthur l.. Hersey of Portland pro-
moter of a thanksgiving machine, gave
hail in the supreme court Auburn. Fri
day. for his appearance at the January
term of court to answer to an indict-
ment for obtaining money under false
pretences. 1t is alleged that Hersey sold
$3.50 worth of his sewing machine stock to
Lisbon man with the understanding that
he would buy it back in a year if it did
not pay the owner % per cent. The pur-
chaser wanted to hold Jersey to the con-
tract which was denied by Hersey. The
man says that Hersey told him he owned
a house in Portland and real estate in
Eustis. to show that he was able to buy
back the stock. In looking up this prop
erty to attach it in his suit to recover the
$3.50, it was learned that Hersey had sold
the land in Eustis to the Franklin Co.
and that his house in Portland was mort
gagged. Hersey denies any illegally in his
transaction with the Lisbon man. He
says he made no contract to buv hack
the stock if the purchaser was dissatis-
fed.

opinion the great waterway will be COM
pleted by Jan. /, 1915. and has estimated
the total cost at 1919 900 900. which, how
ever, includes the cost of sanitation and
civil government and the $50WO,oOo pur-

Inc unusually large amount asked for
the new fiscal year probably is due to the
fact that work on the waterway has en-
tered more advanced stage.
