The best obtainable official statistics
show that they are dying at the rate

WORK OF YEAR REVIEWED BY
PRESIDENT.
Continued from page SD

Nothing can be more important In
the matter Of conservation than the
treatment Of our forest lands. 1t was
probably the ruthless destruction OF
forests In the older states that first
called attention to the necessity for q
halt in the waste of our resources.
In the present forest reserves there
are lands which are not properly Tor
est, and which ought to be subject to
homestead entry. This has caused
some local irritation. We are care
fully eliminating such lands from for
est reserves or where their eumina-
ton is not practical listing them for
entry under the forest homestead act.
Congress ought to trust the execu.
tive to use the power Of reservation
only with respect to land most valh'
able for forest purposes. During the
present administration, 62,250,000
acres of land largely non-timbered.
have been excluded from forest re-
serves, and 3,500.0 600 acres Of land
principally valued for forest purposes
have been included in forest reserves.
making a reduction In forest reserves
of non-timbered land amounting TO
also, 900 acres"
Coal Lands.
THE next subject, and one most i'm
portant for your consideration. Is the
disposition Of the coal lands in the
United States and Alaska. At h be-
Ginning OF this administration there
were withdrawn from entry for pur.
poses of classification 1885,. 900 acres.
Since that time there have been with
drawn by my order from entry for
classification 7S,977,745 acres, making
a total withdrawal of 96,S44.745 acres.
Meantime of the acres thus with
Drawn LOCI, $50 have been classified
and found not to contain coal and
have been restored to agricultural en-.
try. and 4,726,0 s1 acres have been
classified as coal lands; while I, 1898, 1893
acres remain withdrawn from entry
and await classification. In addition
337. 900 acres have been classified a.
coal lands without prior withdrawal.
thus increasing the classified coal
lands to 1929 72 acres.
Under the laws providing for the
| disposal Of coal lands in the United
States, The minimum price at witch
Iands are permitted to be sold II 80
m acre; but the secretary Of the In
terror has the power to fix a maximum
price and to sell at that price.
LAS one-third Of all the coal supply
Is held by the government, it seems
wise that 1t should retain such con-
troll over the mining and the sale as
the relation of lessor to lessee fur
nishes.
THE secretary of the interior thinks
there are difficulties In the way OF
leasing public coal lands, which OBJ
lections he has set forth in his re-
port, the force Of which | freely con-
cede. l entirely approve his stating
at length In his report of the objec-
tons in order that the whole subject
may be presented to congress, but
after a full consideration, for the rea-
sons | have given above. | favor a

Water Power Sites.


Prior to March 4, 1909, there had
been, on the recommendation OF the
reclamation service, withdrawn from
agricultural entry, because they were
regarded as useful for power sites
which ought not to be disposed OF as
agricultural lands, tracts amounting
to about 1000, 600 acres. The with
drawals were hastily made and in
cluded a great deal of land that was
not useful for power sites. They were
intended to include the power sites
on 20 rivers in 8 states. Since that
time 3,475,442 acres have been re-
stored for settlement of the original
1000, 900 because they do not con-
tain power sites; and meantime, new
Withdrawals have been made which,
with other reservations based upon
aeld examination, result in withdraw
ais at present effective of 1,21S,356
acres on vacant public land and 2O2.-
1877 acres on entered public land, or a
total Of 1,420, 553 acres. These with
drawals made from time to time cover
all the power sites included in the
first Withdrawals and many more, on
151 rivers and in IL states. The dis
position of these power sites involves
one of the most difficult questions pre-
scented in carrying out practical con
s%ervation.
The subject Is n that calls tor
new legislation. 1t has been thought
that there was danger OF combination
to obtain possession of all the power
sites and to unite them under one
control. Whatever the evidence OF
this, or lack Of 1t. at present we have
had enough experience to know thai
combination would be profitable, anc
the control of a great number of pow
err at will within certain sections.
However this may be, 1t Is thu
plain duty Of the government to se'
to it hat In the utilization and devel
opment of all this immense amour
of water power, conditions shall b
imposed that will prevent extortion

compartment of monopoly.

sidewalk would be demanded from
the large company as it always had
from the smaller concerns.

guy-poles should be permitted erected
