After extending a cordial invitation to
thu various western governors and their
representatives now in Salt Lake City to
visit Los Angeles during the coming an
nual session OF the American Mining

mously accepted yesterday afternoon,
Sidney Norman. editor of the Los Angeles
Mining Review, and the handspring OF
the Sierra Madre club. left last evening
for the coast The acceptance OF the in.
vltation by the governors. 1t Is unneces-
sary 10 say, delighted Mr.. Norman eX-
ceedingly, for the stronger and better the
representation from the west at Los An
Selcs, the stronger and better viii be the
results from the very important campaign
TO be followed during the Los Angeles
meeting.
Mr.. Norman not only represented the
city OF Los Angeles and the Sierra Madre
terday, but Gov. j. y. Gillett OF Call
fornia, as well, the following message be-
ing read by him yesterday;
'Will you please. on behalf OF myself
as governor of California, invite COVER
nors present al conference to meet
mining, oil and coal operators at Ameri-
can Mining congress. Los Angeles. Sep,
tember 26 to October !, for purpose OF
national legislation"
When seen by The Tribune before his
departure. Mr.. Norman said that the op-
poftunity for the western states to pre-
Sent their cause and arrange a bro
eramme with which the west could ap"
proach the national congress, especially
on the conservation question, would be
exceptional, and he doubted II the time
Will ever prove more propitious than now
There Will be 1000 or more represen-
tatives at the session" said Mr.. Nor
man. land they will be men thoroughly
Versed In the western situation. men who
intgl1iPenflI- nrcgpni tlp hest int -
ests of their respective states and men
whom the people OF the west Will follow
without question. The conservation OF
our natural resources Is the liVcst issue
in the west and this matter will be
threshed out from beginning 10 end.
utah should have her very best men
in attendance, and from what hear from
your mining men, this state will be, as
IL should be, splendidly represented.
1T is assured that Messrs. Pinchot and
Garfield will attend the congress, which
demon Strates how well the conservation
advocates viii be represented And right
here let me impress upon you tho great
difference between the conservation and
the anti-conservation interests. The for
mer keep going and continually a the
Job, but II Is the most difficult thing you
ever tried TO get the latter TO come out
and defend their side with equal vigor-
Both sides must be represented In Los
Angeles " we are to get anywhere. | am
very anxious that Utah have a strong
representation. This state certainly has
interests at stake which must OF neces-
slty be affected one way or the other.
The Importance OF the several issues In
volved certainly cannot be emphasized
too strongly"
Mr.. Norman said that Los Angeles in
tended TO turn herself right side out In
every particular TO show the congress
members and visitors good reception
and entertainment. The Sierra Madre
club. especially. is making extensive pre-
paratons for the care and comfort of
visitors.
