CONSERVATION CHIEF QUESTION.
Conservation Of resources is the issue which
the President will be confronted with for the
next two or three weeks. Senator Borah Of
Idaho saw him to-day with regard TO the prop
osition Of the government issuing bonds TO carry
on conservation work more rapidly than is now
possible Senator Borah will accompany the
President through Idaho. and will take the sub
| ject up again.
The President had a buster time than he ex-
pected on this the second day of his visit here.
With Governor Spry, Senator Smoot and other
members of the local committee. he took break
| fast at the Commercial Club, made an excur-
| sion 10 Saltair and the Great Salt Lake for
the first time; attended an organ recital at the
| Mormon Tabernacle. and expressed to the or
ganist and the soloists who helped In the pro-
! gramme his appreciation Of their music; had
| luncheon and spent the early afternoon at the
! Country Club held public reception and spoke
| out Of doors at Liberty Park at meeting pre-
| sided over by the Mayor; held a reception to-
/ night at the University Club for Yale graduates
| and Ohoans living in Salt Lake, and ended the
| day at a dinner in his honor at the Alta Club.
The excursion TO Saltair was arranged by
| Senator Smoot, and on it the President was in
troduced TO a large number of men prominent
in the affairs of the Mormon Church. including
President Joseph F. Smith. President Smith
sat with MI Taft at the organ recital
GIVES MR.. ROOSEVELT CREDIT.
In his speech at Liberty Park the President
after expressing his thanks for the welcome he
| had received in Utah, said:
| There has arisen a deep feeling on the part
! Of the people that we must conserve the re-
| sources that the Lord gave to this continent In
order that our prosperity may not be embar-
| raised, straitened and even starved.
Now, to one man more than any other is the
| fact due that that issue is before the people
| and that they have become impressed with the
| necessity Tor our saving and not wasting the
resources that God has given u.s. and that man
. Is Theodore Roosevelt. 1t was not reserved for
him to be in otiice as President in the develop
nent even OF the first of these great works.
1t has often happened that one man sows and
| another reaps' a fact could not but feel when
| / stood at the mouth of the GunnisOn TUNNEL a
tunnel six miles long, longer than any irriga tion
tunnel in the wird, and opened the wav for the
water from the Gunnson River to come into
| that unpronounceable valley the Uncompahgre
| Valley, where thousands and thousands of acres
are 10 be made 10 blossom the rose
The pursuit Of that policy involves the passage
OF Ieglslatlon well directed toward the result,
and that is what we are going to do
