tional professorship at Yale university.

A compromise has been reached be-
tween telegraphers of the Big -Four

result of concessions on both sides.

The centenary of the birth of Will

tions in their behalf.
Professors of forestry, representing
practically all of the forestry schools
in the United States, met at Washing
ton last week with Clifford PinchOt,

The Manitoba legislature will open

tigate the proposed workmen's COM
pensation act for the province, which

one of the principal topics for consid-
Grafton.
Madison Square Garden, New York,
built at cost of $4,000, 900, has been
sold to real estate syndicate and will
be torn down and replaced by mod
ern office building, according to re-
port in New York real estate circles.
The property has been on the market
for some time at 100000
Mrs. Ellen NJ Young, superintend-
ent of Chicago public schools, has been
elected president of the Illinonis Teach
ers' Association This is the first time
in the history of the association, and
probably in any association of it's kind
that woman has been chosen as head
of the organization.
San Francisco voters, at an election

NO RECLAMATION BOND
ISSUE AT THIS SESSION

Wash ington, Jan. Although Pres
ident Taft recommended in his annual
message bond issue for reclamation
work and Mr.. Ballinger, secretary OF
the interionr, recommended it in his
annual report as we'll, an official OF the
reclamation service has declared that
all hope of any issue of bonds for irri-
cation work at this session is lost.
There seems little or no prospect
now for any irrigation legislation at
this session. The committees of senate
and house that deal with that subject
expect to make no move for it. The
senate irrigation committee, according
to the best information, will content
itself with printing report of two vol
umes. comprising about 500 pages, re-
counting what was seen and learned
during a long trip. of inspection last
autumn. It's members are mostly OPP
posed to the $50, 900, 900 bond issue for
irrigation works.
The outlook for public land legisla-
ton, which Secretary Ballinger recon-
mended, is also unfavorable. On the
matter of water power sites the secre-
tary, in favoring development under
government supervision, went further
than President Roosevelt or Mr.. Pin
chot had ever done and has chilled the
enthusiasm of many Western advocates.
They say private capital would never
seek investment on any such radical
terms as the secretary proposes.
Attorneys for water power compa-
MES have been in Washington during
the session and put in some hard argu-
ments against legislation that would
attempt to give the government control
over such enterprises.
The simple recommendations of pre-
sidents and cabinet officials for legisla-
ton do not suffice, as rule, with con-
gress. Especially in these latter days,
the recommendations must be backed
by earnest insistence and an active
campaign. Two or three measures,
which the president regards as urgent
and which he presses upon the senate
and house leaders, will in all PROBABLE
ity be taken care of. One will be his
interstate commerce amendments. The
exchanges of views during the last two
or three weeks have shown great aver
sion in congress to attempting much
general legislation, and the president
seems to regard that attitude as proba-
bly, the best for the party and the
country.

POWDER TEST TO BE
CONDUCTED IN JANUARY

Seattle, Jan. 1.-George E. Boos,
secretary Of the Washington Logged
Off Land Association, stated that
much interest is being taken in the
land clearing CONTEST in progress
across Lake Washington under the d.
rection Of the Logged-O Off Land Associ-
alton and the bureau of plant industry
of the United States department of ag-
riculture
Early in January powder test will
be made, to which all the powder COM
panies were invited, and in which sew
eral have agreed to participate. Under
the conditions of this contest eery COM
petitor will be required to furnish an
operator or demonstration competent
not only to handle explosives but to ex-
plain intelligentlv the proper method
Of handling them. Each company will
also be required to furnish price list
for powder both in large and small
quantities. The agents of the various
companies will be asked to blow out
stumps of stated size.
A representatie of the Logged OFF
Land Association and other Organizations
interested will watch the demonstra-
lions, taking photographs and making
a complete report of the labor, time,
methods and explosives used. The pur-
pose of this demonstration, according

nation determining exactly the best
methods, the quantity and kind of ex-
plosives to be used and the cost of re-
moving stumps by means of powder.

ACTION INSTEAD
OF TALK
PRESIDENT SAID TO WANT
PRACTICAL CONSERVA-
TON LAW.
Reported as Declaring That When
Present Session Ends He Will
Be Able to Point to the First
Practical Conservation Statutes
of the United States.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-"Acts rather
than declarations. President Taft is
reported in this terse way to have de-
scribed recently to callers his program
for the conservation of natural resour-
ces. The president, it is said, has de-
clared that when the present session of
congress ends, he will be able to point
to the first practical conservation stat
utes ever placed upon the law books of
the nation as his answer to the criti-
cism that has been directed toward the
White House.
Without wait for the Ballinger-Pin
chot investigation, Mr.. Taft soon will
beign the preparation of his special
message on conservation, and he has
received assurances from both houses
of congress that while some trouble
may be expected in the lower branch,
his recommendations will be made into
law before the spring adjournment.
The president is reported as holding
that there is nothing in the Ballinger-
Pinchot dispute that has bearing on
his own legislative program, and he
Dra,t of Proposed Laws Ready
The proposed new laws are ready to
be submitted to the committees of the
senate and house with the special mes
sage, preparation Of which the presi-
dent will begin as soon as he gets the
message on the interstate and anti trust
laws out of the way.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, chair
man of the senate committee on public
lands, is cooperating with the presi-
dent in the matter of conservation laws
and has assured him there will be no
difficulty in putting those laws through
the senate. In the house there is likely
to be some opposition, but the presi-
dent feels sure it can be overcome.
White House callers who have talked
with President Taft on the subject de-
scribe him as believing that he will
best prove his friendship for the ''Roos-
evelt policies Of conservation by put
ting laws on the statute books that will
actually carry these policies into effect.
The real problem to be solved is how
best to dispose of the public lands con-
tanning water power sites, coal and
phosphates.
A large quantity of such lands have
been Withdrawn from entry under the
general land laws, but they cannot be
held indefinitely, and there is no spe-
cific law governing their sale Or lease.
1t is generally admitted that the re-
sources must be developed; that the
coal and the phosphates must be taken
out by private capital, and yet at the
same time there must be safeguards
against monopoly. These are the in
tricacies with which congress will have
to deal.

feeling that they had not stopped be-
cause they had failed. Another good
reason for the change, he declares, IS
that the pupils will have the seventh

period in which to prepare for en-
trance for the regular high school,
where the methods are essentially at
ferent from those employed in the
