The First National Conservation
Congress of the United States conven-
ed in the Auditorium building at the
A-.Y. p. Exposition. Seattle. yester-
day and will continue in session to-
day and tomorrow. The spirit of ex-
travagance has contributed to the
work Of destruction in wasting the
natural resources and tearing down
the old landmarks. A portion of the
fore-ts is neediessly cut away without
a proper return to many who do not
stop to consider the effect on future
families who will seek for the shelter
and the protection of these gifts of
nature. 1t is necessary that cam
paign of education be carried on
through the medium of conservation
organizations, to devise WAYS and
means for re foresting the logged off
lands not suitable for agricultural or
horticultural purposes, in order that
there may be an abundance of water
and timber for future years. This
applies with equal force to the conser-
walton of soil and its elements of fer.
tillty, and to all other gifts of nature
intended to benefit the human family.
1t is time to call halt to the pro-
gress of destruction by waste that
knows not how to properly utilize the
gifts OF nature. 1t is time for a gen.
eral campaign for better things in the
handling of the gifts of land and wa
ter. The natural scenery should be
conserved to gladden. the eyes of those
who Will occupy the country in the
future. There is plenty of all that
nature bestows upon humanity for the
remaining years of time in the Great
State of Washington if that which
now exists is properly handled and
rightly used. Now is the time for
action along the lines of copserva.
ton. A few more years of extrava
gance in the use of natural resources
and there will be nothing left to con.
serve. The work devolves upon the
present generation. and the conserva.
tionists desire to have every man do
his part in the great labor of protect
ing, conserving and perpetuatino
natural resources. The Inhabitants
of Washington have much to CON.
serve. The land is rich In resources
There are mountains of beauty and
valleys of plenty. There are rivers

Nature has lavished her gifts in praot
profusion throughout the State of

Washington as manufacturing
state will receive an important boost
on August %. when Madein Waeh-
ington Day is to be observed at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition and
in all parts of the commonwealth at
the same time. All commercial or
CARNATIONS are falling into line with
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to
make the campaign a notable success
1t is intended primarily to increase
the demand for home made goods
among home folks. By calling atten-
tion to Made-in Washington wares
merchants are expected to help man
ufacturing industries great deal.
At least the observance of Made-in-
Seattle day had this effect. Its scope
has been broadened to include the
whole state now. We're Washington
ians to use home made things. where
ever they are as good as articles
shipped in from the outside. it would
be worth more than hundred million
dollars a year to the state. 1t would
lead to more and larger payrolls, en-
nance realty values and increase the
states assets immeasurably.

Although Washington does not elect
another United States Senator until
1911, the campaign for that place is
already open. The formation of a
John L. Wilson Senatorial Club in
Seattle is the first gun to be fired and
it is taken as fore-runner of an an
nouncement by Senator Samuel Piles
that he will not be candidate to
succeed himself. In fact, the sena-
tor has refused to discuss his poilti-
cal plans. L. Ell. Gray, president of
the King County Republican Club, is
responsible for the w ilson movement.
Mr.. Wilson occupies an influential
place in Republican ranks as proprie-
tor of the Post Intelligencer, Seattle.
He served one term in the United
States Senate. Should Mr.. Piles de-
eide to retire, there is bound to be a
lively scramble for his place. John
Fl. Humphries is the only avowed
candidate in the field at this time and
he will run whether Piles does or not
or at least he says so.

Although several hundred thousand
people will attend the Exposition

time when the room accommodations
have not been ample to take care of
the crowd.
For several months before the Fair

city to let rooms. Many have adver-

unsuccessful ones, who saw the land
to be had here and we're impressed by
the opportunities. The big travel to
the Alaska lux on Pacific Exposition
is expected in Septem Der, when the
farmers in the middle west have hand
led their crops. Those who have
been here and gone back home are
boosting harder than ever. 10 fact

that operating departments of all

Judge B. S. Lindsey. the noted
"Kids' Judge" and reformer from the
Centennial State. declares that Den
yer owes its salvation to woman 8
suffrage. Washington suffragists have
seized upon this statement and will
make it the slogan in their coming
campaign for the ballot, in view of
the many scandals that have come to
light in politics in the state recently.
Judge Lindsey says that women will
stand up for the clean only and that
they know how to scratch the ballot.
In fact. he attributes his election to
the bench to women's votes almost
entirely, saying that he has always
been opposed by "the interests" in

Another Chapter is Being Enacted in
Well Known Case Of DoIan VS..
simmonds Instituted
in 1905.
WAS TRIED MANY TIMES
Justice Burrows Tried II Three Times
and Bank Was Reversed by
Supreme Court on it
Twice.

Another chapter is being enacted in
the well known case OF Dolan vs..
Simmons and it will be concluded pos
sibly for good when the supreme court
renders its third decision. The case
has been tried many times since its
institution in 1905, since which time
1t has resolved itself into personal
fight between the attorneys, namely:
B. A. Dolan and Hughes and McCoid.
Twice Judge H. Bank. Jr., has been
reversed and before the case goes to
the supreme court for the third time,
with a decision different from that
which 1t has gone on the two previous
occasions, Hughes and McCoid are
seeking to have the record changed.
Attorneys engaged in little sparring
match before Judge Bank this morn
ing and he is to hear 1t more fully
after the Halle. B. & @. case.
The suit was brought in 1905 to col
lect an account amounting to about
$40 from the defendant Simmons. en-
ployed at the Taber Lumber Company.
The case was tried before Judge Bur-
rows in the justice of the peace court
and later tried twice again, each time
Burrows deciding against the plain
tiff. The case then went to the dis
trict court and was tried before Judge
Bank. Bank also decided for the de.
PENDANT on two occasions, but his de-
cisions were reversed by the supreme
court of the state. In March the case
was again tried and this time Bank
rendered decision for the plaintiff.
It is now that the defendants attor-
neys have taken the appeal and the
date for hearing by the supreme court
is January IL.

in full on policy held by her, given
by her husband, the late Geo. N.
Carroll. On the ed day of August,
1902, Geo. ". Carroll went from his
home near Plymouth to Quincy, Ill.
That night an empty boat containing
a coat and hat which it was later
proved belonged to Carroll, was
found adrift in the Mississippi river a
few miles below Quincy. The finder
was Salvation army man by the
name of Zimmerman. He notified
the authorities and the identity OF me
coat and hat was established beyon,,
all doubt. Mr.. Carroll carried policy
in favor of his wife, Mrs. Fanny Car
roll, for $4,000 in the NJ. w Al. She
after searching for the missing man,
made application to the Woodmen
lodge for the $4,000 insurance money.
This the company refused to pay,
claiming that proof of death was not
sufficient. Mrs. Carroll, through her
attorneys, Willard and Jarman, of
Rushville, brought suit in the Schuy-
Ter county circuit court for the
amount. This was in 1904, two years
having elapsed since the disappear
ance Of Mr.. Carroll. After a holly
contested case compromise was eff.
fected whereby the M. w. A. agreed
/ to find the missing man within FIVE
i years from that date, which was in
1904, or pay the insurance. The com.
pany failed to find Mr.. Carroll and
consequently were obliged TO pay as
above noted. The payment of the
policy in full to Mrs. Carroll no doubt
is fully justified
