low the model plan of the general gov
eminent to preserve the private own
ed forests from fire and from that sort
of treatment which shall make the
country a waste.
1--WE have not yet adopted the laws
but I hope to recommend them to con-
gress, by which the government shall
retain some control over the use OF
coal lands still owned by the govern
ment and still to put under private use
by which the water power sites snail
be segregated from other parts of the
public domain and parted with only
under such conditions as shall enable
the government to secure a proper rev.
enue therefrom and to regulate the
rates of power charged by those who
shall take possession of these sites
and transfer the water power into cleo
tricity, by which the government shall
retain the phosphate lands containing
unreasonable wealth in respect to fer
tilizing the soil of the west.
1.-The most important topic of this
convention because it is the immerl-
ate subject of consideration. is the pre-
servatiOn OF our waterways.
I'VE have invested millions of dol
lars in our waterways, and We have
done excellent work and when the
work was specified, in helping to make
our rivers more naVigable; but the
trouble with the work has been that
it has been done largely piecemeal.
'I have confidence in the cOnserVa-
tism of the people and congress that
they will not adopt every enterprise
haphazard and go into business on the
theory that it does not cost much, but
they will calculate the question Wheth-
err now is the time to do the work and
whether the country will develop more,
before making such an expenditure

steep, it being necessary at certain
points to go miles to find practical
roadway down into the valley.
North of the Moreau is a broad pla-
teau, which grows the native wheat
grass" which of itself is almost equal
to oats for feed, and in its growth it
shows what can be done with the land
when it is broken and cultivated to
grain North of this plateau is the
broad and beautiful valley Of the
Grand river, with its gently undulat-
ing hills far back from the river on
either side, and a somewhat sandy soil

! Grand is another plateau between
that and the Cannon Ball river, which
is equal in fertility to the noted Nor

during the past few years been added
to the production of new wealth for
the state in which they are situated.
The territory to be opened covers
in South Dakota portions of the coun-
ties of Armstrong, Sohnasse. Dewey

commerce laws to make their provis-
ions more effective.
Mr.. Taft added, however, he did not
favor radical legislation, that his pur-
pose merely was to keep railroad COM
panies within bounds. He said the
railroads should be encouraged. In
some localities he said there was d
disposition to do injustice to the rail-
roads and to drive them to system
of economy which prevents the devel-
opment of the country through which
they pass.
The president said citizens would go
to any extent to get a railroad to come
into a country, but once there, not
friend of the railroad could be found
anywhere, except perhaps the local
square DEAF for the railroads, that
they might not be deprived of reas-
enable profits.
Charging that the haltinS and Spor-
adic system of river and harbor i'm
Drovements in the past was the work
of the committee in congress, who had
responded to c;amor from home and to
party considerations, the president said
the time had come for change in
this system.
4 nine foot inter- coastal canal was
one Of the projects to which the presi-
dent referred as part Of a definite sys-
tenn Of waterways Improvement.
President Taft arrived here at II a.
N. and was taken to grand stand
placed at the foot of a natural terrace
where the delegates to the waterways
convention and the general public had
gathered.
When he had finished his speech he
went out 10 the Corpus Christi Golf
and County club and dedicated the new
links by driving a ball from the first
tee.
The club presented him with bag
Of nine splendid gold sticks as a souVe-
mir of the occasion. The president
and several members of his party dfned
at the home of Mrs. Fl. M. King, who
owns more land than any woman in the

prises 1,3OO0 900 acres.

at 8 o'clock this afternoon and left
there at $50 p. m. for Houston and
Dallas.

his address to Teodorc Roosevelt for
giving the first impulse to conservation

mass meetings on the East Side and
Gaynor spoke at Long Island City and
at Flushing.
An attack on GaynOr constituted
fully a third of Hearsts Brooklyn

Gaynor had said in his recent address
at Tammany hall that he had not been

WigWam before that evening.

Hearst. "he is either singularly incin-
cere or singularly ignorant. But | can
tell YOU one thing. Judge Gaynor may
not know where -Tammany hall stands
but Tammany hall knows where Judge
Gaynor stands or they would never
have nominated him."
Hearst diclosed his ambition to add
to his string of newspapers by estab-
fishing one in Brooklyn.
