Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Speaking before
he United States Land and Irrigation
congress on Conservation of Western
Reserves, Governor Norris OF Montana
said in part:
1T seems eminently fitting that the
land and irrigation congress, organ
led for the purpose of exhibiting the
products of the soil, should be held in
Chicago. This is the gateway between
The populous centers OF the east, where
there is an oyercrowded population
striving for mere existence, and the
great undeveloped west, where there
are prosperous homes for millions of
people.
Several western governors journeyed
to ST. Paul in September last to take
part in the deliberations of the national
conservation congress of which they
were members. 1t was found on ar
rival there that the delegates attend
ing from the west, where almost all
unappropriated natural resources are
to be found, were expected to sit at
the feet OF eastern conservation sages
and hear theories of conservation ex-
pounded.
1.-THE men from the mountains grew
restless from inaction and the western
governors returned home ,Notwith-
standing their departure; it was am
nounced in the newspapers that the
pugnacious governor Of Kansas would
remain on hand to see that the west
ern governors did not start something.
THE western governors did not
withdraw from the conference, but will
be on hand at the next meeting.
fsIet IL here be said that the western
men will not sit supinely by while
this important problem is undergoing
solution. We cannot admit that those
who have proved themselves to be in
capable of running their own affairs
are more competent than we are to
formulate plans for the administration
of the resources that Of right belong
to as.
'Let there be no misunderstanding
concerning our position on the conser-
walton of resources. We favor con-
servation and will approve of any move
best calculated to accomplish that end
we now believe that the states can
best conserve resources under the. safe
guards heretofore referred To- il our
proposed way be not the best way,
then we will enthusiastically favor a
better way"

So hearts will change and hopes win fail,
And keen, bright grow DIM

Washington News Letter

Washington, ID. G., Nov. 29.-The re-
turn, Of President Taft from his Pana-
| ma trip and the fact that not more
than week remains before the as
sembhng of congress, viii crowd his
business. hours with vast amount of
affairs that demand attention. The
president is reported to have. carried
with him aboard ship plenty of ma
| terial upon. which to work in his leis-
ure, hours, including his message and
lists of names from which he is ex-
pected to make choice of two members
of the United States supreme court
and i've members of the new COM
merce court, 1t is assumed the presi-
dent will be subjected to an unusual
pressure of visitors. Then, too, it is
pretty we'll understood that there will
be large turning up of members of
\ his party, who will be DESTROYS of
swapping observations about election
results along with suggestions about
future party policy, 1k Is also to be
expected that the pres#ent will wish
to indicate to the party leaders in
congress what he would prefer should
be done, or attempted, by congress at
the short remainder of the sixty first
congress, when at least in one of it's
houses political power will be trans
ferred to the opposition. So all in all.
President Taft is likely to be the bus
eiest man in the country for the next
hundred days.

WOULD STOP TRESPASSING
Pennsy Endeavors to Reduce Deaths
on It's Tracks.
Reports Show 10000 People Killed
While Travelling on Railroads
in Eleven Years.

Trespassing on railroad property in VIC
lation Of the law has caused the deaths Of
more than $1,000 people in the United
States in the last eleven years. In this
same period more than 5000 trespassers
have been injured.
With view 10 reducing to a minimum
the practice OF trespassing on 9ts prop
erty. the Pennsylvania Railroad has de-
termined 10 redouble itsFefforts to secure
on its lines that rigid enforcement of the
law against trespassing which in foreign
countries has done so much 10 decrease
the number OF fatalities resulting from
trespassing.
IN 1907 the Pennsylvania inaugurated
vigorous campaign against trespassing.
and. due doubtless TO this, the number
OF trespassers killed in 1908 was only 757.
In 1863 1872 lost their lives in this way. In
the eleven years prior TO January !, 1910,
exactly 1872 people who were on the
Pennsylvania Railroads right of way in
willful violation Of the law, in spite Of
thousands Of warning signs along the
railroad. were killed. II Is thus seen that
in the eleven years an average OF two
trespasseTs a day have been killed on
long death roll is every year charged
up 10 the railroad, even though these
people are killed as a result Of their vio-
iating the law and under conditions over
which the company has no control
The Pennsylvania Railroad has now
posted its tracks and stationed watch
men 20 see that warnings against tres
passing are respected. BY redoubling its
efforts the company is endeavoring TO
reduce the number of tTespassers who are
killed and injured by an even greater
number than it has done in the past
three years.
The cooperation OF city and county
authorities has been solicited In this
campaign, Heretofore the actual punish.
ment OF persons violating the laws for
bidding trespassing on a railroads. phi
vate property has been infrequent. The
cost OF Imprisonment has deferred the
local courts from holding those arrested
while trespassing on railroad property.
