THE issue of conservation with us
is merely the question Of the removal
of friction between the national gov
eminent and the state" said Mr.. VIII
son.
when Gov Hughes Of New York
came out to see our fair at Seattle he
made a speech in which he said that
we of the west would probably be sur
prised to know that the state OF New
York had set aside 100000 acres OF
land for a forest reserve. II fell t.
me to reply to the speech OF the gov
ernor and told him that we were IN
deed surprised that anybody In the
state Of New York would let that much
get away from him. Then | told the
governor that If the forest reserves OF
the state OF Washington were placed
side by side in one contingent body OF
land the entire Empire state of New
York could not only be put down In
the middle of it, but man could walk
around the boundaries of the forest
reserve and still be unable to see the
