Mr.. Pinchot gave out an interesting intcr-
view, in which he praised the work of the
insurgents in congress. The former forester
made it plain that he was expressing his
individual sentiments and declared his re-
marks were inspired by nothing further
than his personal views. Said he:
THE services rendered the nation by the
insurgents in congress have been remark
able. The railroad bill framed by At
torney General Wicl1ersham was most
| unfortunate measure, but the modifca-
tion 1t received in the senate was great
step forward The country owes much In
this matter to the insurgents and their
sympathzers. Chief among the insurgents
who have brought about modification of
the railroad bill are Senators Cummins,
Clapp, Doliver, La Toilette and Beverldge."
Speaking OF the bills which have been be-
fore congress, Mr.. Pinchot said he had
hoped particularly for the separation bill

sending settlers to get farm lands on the
site of coal deposits This bill, he said.
would mean that the settler taking up the
farming land could not mine the under
lying coal unless he paid for the right. 1t
would stop fraud and compel the companies
to take up land at its real value. He con-
tinued.
No pecIaI Privileges.
l People overlook the fact that the con-
servation men essentially want the develop
ment of natural resources. They are keen
for it, but they want it for the gem
eral interest, and not for special privi-
eges. The plans for the second national
conservation congress which will be held
in st. Paul are now substantially fixed. 1t
win be a big congress and 1 am looking
forward to one of the best meetings ever

formation will be developed"
Mr.. Pinchot declined to say what topics
he discussed with Colonel Roosevelt ex-
cept to say that they talked over many In
teresting and important matters. Com
menting on Colonel Roosevelts program to
visit the west, he said there had been some
differences among the cattlemen of Colo
rado over the Roosevelt conservation poll
cies, but this had all been smoothed over
, now.
Mr. Pinchot prophesled that Colonel
Roosevelt would have a very enjoyable time
at the meeting in Denver.
Colonel Roosevelt still finds It neces-
sary to devote much time to his CORE
spondence. In adIton TO that many vls-
ltors assemble at oyster Bay every day.
