Mr.. and Mrs. w. Henry Moray
holds, who have come here to live
and who will spend the winter at her
aunt's, Mrs. Fred Salman's, were
married at Maple Grove, P. O., on
October 5. The ceremony was per-

o'clock in the afternoon, the bride
being Miss Persis r. J. Bennett,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Ben
nett of ''Venlo Farm" Maple Grove,
the groom was from ST. Johnsbury.

ceremony. The bride was gowned in
white silk eolienne, and entered the
church leaning on her fathers arm.
She wore long veil caught with a
wreath of orange blossoms. Miss
Julia Amadon, cousin of the bride,
as bridesmaid, wore pink sink null.
White and pink sweet peas were
carried by the bride and bridesmaid,
respectively. The only jewelry they
wore were a crescent diamond
brooch, gift of the groom to the
bride, and topaz ring, his gift to the
bridesmaid. The groom was sup
ported by his cousin, Harry H. Den
ming, a student at Bishops Crossing,
and his gift to him was pair of gold
monogram cuff links. After the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. McRaynolds
| drove to the home of the bride,
where sumptuous repast was
served. The evening was spent in
music, dancing and singing and Mr..

one of our finest young ladies from

semblage who cannot recall the day
when the virgin soil in his locality
did not produce from so to 100 per
cent larger crops than it does today,
when dense forests covered large
tracts now a barren waste and when
the bosom of the earth contained I'M
told millions of mineral wealth now
represented on the surface by huge
spoil banks and sunken surfaces. We
remember only too well when our fer
tile fields yielded thirty-fve to forty
bushels of wheat to the acre and that
the same fields produced only about
twelve bushels five years ago.
During the past short period OF five
years the average cereal yield of this
state has been increased more than
five bushels per acre, the corn belt
mas been extended northward more
than 300 miles to the Canadian
boundary by the production of hardy
and early maturing varieties of corn,
yielding the state last year over Co.
100000 bushels, and placing Minneso-
ia among the dozen leading corn
states of the Union. 1t is estimated
that plant breeding and seed selection
alone last year added about $15,000,-
900 to our agricultural products. The
cereal production has also affected
clover, timothy and other tame
grasses, thus largely contributing to
the growth of the dairy industry,
which has been increased ten-fold in
twenty years, until it now yields the
state $50,00O,O00 annually. Similar
progress has been made in livestock,
fruit and truck gardening industries.

interests pay the people a just return
for exploiting those resources, the ma
tons income, thus derived, would
now pay most of the nations ex-
penses; those resources would have
been wisely used and not exhausted;
and our whole growth would have
been national and sound instead of I'M
balanced and defective. We would
have enjoyed all the benefits OF our
natural resources and yet our children
would have inherited colossal national
wealth and small national burdens in
stead of private interests enjoying all
of the benefits of our natural resources
and their children inheriting colossal
private wealth and small private bur-
dens."
Senator Beveridge paid splendid
tribute to Clifford Pinchot as president
of the national conservation commits
sion, the man who, for years has fear
lessly fought, and ceaslessly toiled, to
save and protect for the people the
property of the people; and in that
nationwide battle has been the field
officer of the man who first made this
movement a permanent and practical
policy of American craftsmanship,
Theodore Roosevelt.
Continuing, the senator gave advice
to the younger generation to think and
act for the general welfare, saying:
"Only as the entire nation is prosper
Gus can any state be really prosper

Exactly as the cry of executive
usurpation was raised, so now the
ghost of states rights is dragged out
to brighten the public. There is no
real conflict between nation and states
in dealing with the public lands and
the use of natural resources. Each
jurisdiction has great interests to
safeguard, great duties to perform for
the common good and, whenever the
jurisdictions overlap, neither should
withdraw, but by cooperation provide
for such regulation as win prevent pri-
vate and special interests from escap-
ing effective public regulation and SUI

PINCHOT EXPoUNDS
CONSERVATION POLICY,

Clifford Pinchot, former United
States chief forester and pioneer in
the conservation movement, spoke on
"The Conservation Programme" His
declaration of principles follows:
Conservation meets with opposition
when it interferes with some man s
private profit.
Opponents of the cause, while pre-
tending to approve its principles, fight
it by condemning it's methods and it's
men.
Safety and sanity in conservation
means putting the public welfare
ahead of corporate profits
The natural resources belong to all
the people and should be developed
and protected for their benefit and not
for the benefit Of the few.

many AOTABLES ADDRESS
BIG ST. PAUL GATHERING
Excerpts From Speeches Of
Some Of the Prominent
Men in Attendance.

The second National Conservation
congress at ST. Paul was one of the
most notable gatherings ever held in
the United States. 1t was attended
by the president of the United States,
q former president, score of state
executives and many other distin-
guished persons in various walks of
life. While there was difference OF
opinion expressed by the speakers ON
the methods OF applying the conser-
walton idea the main issue at the St.
Paul convention was the question of
federal or state control of our natural
resources. This question caused a
turmoil during the final hours, AL
though it had been apparent for sew
eraI days previous that the opponents
Of federal control were in the major
ity.
The resolutions, as finally adopted,
advocate federal control of natural re-
sources and follow closely the ideas
OF Roosevelt and Pinchot, although
partial adhesion is given to the CO.
operative control of navigable waters
( between the states and the nation.
The reclamation service is endorsed
and the repeal of the stone and timber
act is advocated. The Appalachian
forest reserve is favored, reforestation
Is pressed upon state and nation and
the early opening Of Alaska coal fields
under a system Of leasing is favored.
Many notable persons addressed the
congress and brief excerpts from some
Of the addresses follow.

couraged.

states rights, and there is much hard
fighting ahead. q

Toward the conservation of miner
al resources little can be done by fed
eraI action. The output is determined
not by the mine owner, but by the
consumer. The withdrawal of vast
areas Of supposed coal lands tends to
increase price by restricting the area
of possible supply. 1t is foolish to
talk of leasing coal lands in small
quantities to prevent monopoly. Min
ing must be carried on upon a large
enough scale to be commercially pos
sible.
"The whole West protests against
the demand that federal lands form
ing water power sites should be with
drawn and leased for the profit and at
the pleasure of the federal govern
ment. The attempted federal control
Of water powers is illegal because the
use of the waters within a state is the
property of the state and cannot be
taken away with it."

Sical conservation programme which
should give those who are living today
the benefit of our natural resources
las well as those of later generations
He warned the people against the in
sidious activities of agents of the spe-
cial interests, who, as victory draws
nearer, are rebuilding their efforts to
defeat the conservation movement. He
added that it would be no small mis-
fortune if meeting such as this
should ever fall into the hands of the
open enemy or false friends of the
great movement which, it represents.
Mr.. Roosevelt strongly urged federal
control of water power sites and
pointed out that most Of the 'preda-
tory corporations" are interstate and
therefore out of reach Of effective
state control. One of the prime OBJ
jects of these corporations that are
grasping and greedy, he said, is to
avoid any effective control, either by
state or nation, and they advocate at
this time state control simply because
they believe it to be the least effec-
tive.
He declared that unless the govern
ments of all the American republics,
including cur own, enact in time such
laws as will both protect their nat
ural wealth and promote their legiti-
mate and reasonable development, fu-
tuTe generations will owe their mis-
fortunes to us of today.

NEW ORDER OF THINGS,

James R. Garfield, former secretary
of the interior, discussed "The Fed
eral Governments Relation to Con-
servation." After defining the general
powers of the president and other ex-
ecutive officers Mr.. Garfield said:
IF the conservation problem had
simply to do with the distribution of
what remains of the public domain the
solution of the problem would be freed
from many difficulties, but distribution
is only small part of the problem;
the most important duty is to provide
against such distribution as will result
in giving the big special interests mo-
nopolistic control over the resources
of timber, water, fuel and phosphates.
Under our former system of dispo-
sition Of public lands by both nation
and state we have permitted individ-
uals and corporations to acquire great
portions Of our natural resources. We
have given away special privileges of
great value and made grants of ire
mendous Industrial power. The use of
those special privileges and the exer.
else Of those powers have given rise
to serious political and industrial Ques-
lions, which are now parts of the con-
servatiOn problem.
Much has been said in recent years
about executive usurpation in admin
istering the land laws, but have yet
to learn Of a specific case. The courts
are open to test such a case, but none
has been brought.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1910-09-20

He said that when the people know
exactly what is needed they can then
make their representatives in con-
gress and the state legislatures do
their intelligent bidding.
Referring to the Cunningham claims
he avoided giving any opinion, but
called attention to the fact that no pri-
vate claims for Alaskan coal lands
have yet been allowed or perfected,
and that whatever the result as to
pending claims, the existing coal land
laws of Alaska are most unsatisfac-
tory and that they should be radically
amended
On this subject the president says
che United States government has
much to answer for in not giving
proper attention to the government of
Alaska and the development of its re
sources for the benefit Of all the peo-
pie of the country.
The president placed considerable
emphasis upon the need for the avoid
ance of acrimony, imputations of bad
faith, and political controversy, in
gathering of this kind. Conservation,
be said, is not a question of politics,
or of factions, or of persons, but
meter that affects the vital welfare
of everybody.
