.thority adequate to pfeserve them
and to extend their growth SO far as
that may be practicable. The impor-
tance of the maintenance of our for
ests cannot be exaggerated. The pos
sibility Of a scientific treatment of
forests so that they shall be made to
yield a large return in timber with
out really reducing the supply has
been demonstrated in other countries,
and we should work toward the
standard set by them as far as their
methods are applicable to our condi-
lions.
Upwards of 400, 100000 acres of
1orest land in this country are in
private ownership, but only 3 per
cent. of it is being treated scientii-
cally and with a view to the main
tenance Of the forests. The part
played by the forests in the equaliza-
tion of the supply Of water on water
sheds is a matter Of discussion and
dispute, but the general benefit to
be derived by the public from the
extension Of forest lands on water
sheds and the promotion Of the
growth of trees in places that are
now denuded and that orce had great
nourishing forests, goes without say
ing. The control to he exercised
over private owners in their treat
ment Of the forests which they own
is a matter for State and not ma
tional regulation, because there is
nothing in the constitution that au-
thorizes the Federal government to
exercise any control over forests
within a State, unless the forests are
owned in a proprietary way by the
Federal government.
For reasons which it is not neces-
sary here to state, Congress has seen
fit tor order an investigation into the
Interior Department and the Forest
EService of the Agricultural Depart
ment. The results of that investiga-
ton are not needed to determine the
value of, and the necessity for, the
new legislation which l have recon-
mended in respect to the public lands
and in respect to reclamation. l
earnestly urge that the measures rec
ommended be taken up and disposed
of promptly, without awaiting the
investigation which has been deter
miued upon.

RURAL mail DELIVERY
Amount of Mail Matter Has Increas-
ed Rapidly.

Washington, Special.-An increase
of 96 per cent. in the amount OF mali
handled on rural free delivery routes
during the fiscal year ended June
30 last, over the fiscal year OF 1903,
is shown in the annual report OF the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Genera
P. v. DeGraw, which was trans
mitte6 to the Postmaster-General.
Commenting upon this fact, Mir. De
Graw says:
"This remarkable Increase is CON
elusive evidence that the institution
of rural delivery has enlarged the
amount of the mails handled and
therefore increased the revenues.
This is true, although IS per cent.
of the bulk of the mail on rural
routes is second class matter, as the
increase applies to all classes of mat,
ter, especially 70 letters and postal
cards, the latter due to. the enormous
use of souvenir or picture post
cards"
The total expenditure for rural
lISC QSllfCll hoo TcO:'o
crease of $1,2s9,O95.
Good roads have been promoted by
the Postofice Department III many
ways. The report says: "There has
been unprecedented Improvement OF
the condition of roads traversed py
rural carriers, due to the intelligent
and well-directed interest of post
masters and carriers"
At the dead letter division the re-
ceipts of mail matter for the year
aggregated 11,997,325 pieces, a de-
crease of 1,147, 947 from the pre-
ceding 12 months. Of this matter
l,674,7SS pieces were of foreign
origin and 591,6O4 pieces were adj
dressed to foreign countries and re-
turned as unclaimed. Of the total
number of letters and parcels re-
ceived 7,535,O44 or 81 per cent.
were returned or forwarded. 1t WIS
necessary to open 9,95O,507 letters
and parcels to ascertain a clue to the
sender. The revenue derived from
the dead mail matter for the year
amounted to $29,234.

WEEK IN CONGRESS-

UNREST EXTENDS TO SENATE.
Fate of Several Administration Bills
One of the livest Topics With Nat

Washington, Specialize matter
how satisfactory an arrangement as
made for the selection of the joint
committee to investigate the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy, the insrlr-
gent fight promises to occupy a prom
inent place in the congressional stu
alton during the week.
Dissentions between the insurgents,
and regulars in the House have &C.
cupied the center of the stage for Q
fortnight. The chickering's have even
spread to the Senate wing OF the.
Capitol and legislation there has,
been at standstill.
That there will be q lull in hostili-
ties in the House as 500 as the Bal
linger-Pinchot committee is appoint
ed is concealed, but those who are.
anxious that legislation may proceed
without delay or not ove sanguine
of their efforts to keep the insurgent
row in check. They look for renew
ed outbreaks whenever any duestio.s
affecting the Cannon rulers is inter-
jected into the proceedings.
SECOND interest to the discussion Of
the battle between the Republican or
ganization and the insurgents n the
House is the gossip in both branches,
of Congress as to what vii be the fate
Of the several administration bills to
put into force what are known as
Taft policies as differentiated from
Roosevelt policies. These embrace.
the program for the amendment OF
the interstate commerce laws, the
Sherman antitrust law, and carrying
into effect measures for the conser-
walton Of natural resources.
Little opposition has been heard to.
the administration measures for the
strengthening of the interstate COM
merce act. On all sides it seems to,
be conceded that some such measure
as is proposed by Mr.. Taft will be
enacted.
Several hearings of more than or
binary interest are scheduled to take
pl.ce, or at least begin, during the
week. There will be the consid-
Grafton Of the interstate commerce
bills at both ends of the Capitol, the.
Mann canal bill before the Senate
committee on interoceanic canals, and
the meat inspection question before
the House committee on agriculture.
Another interesting situation will be
raised in the House committee on ex-
penditures in the Interior Depart
ment by Representative Hitchcock OF
Nebraska, who will endeavor to SUBJ.
stantiate the charges made by him
in the House of extravaganza In the
conduct of land offices.

struct the works.
Recommends $50, 100000 in Bonds.
One Of the difficulties which has
arisen is that too many projects in
view Of Inc available funds have been
set on foot. The funds available I'M
der the reclamation statute are in
adequate to complete these projects
within a reasonable time. And yet
the projects have been begun; set
tiers have been invited to take up
and, in many instances, have taken
up, the public land within the pro-
jects, relying upon their prompt
completion. The failure to complete
the projects for their benefit is, in
effect, a breach Of faith and leaves
them in a most distressed condition.
I urge that the nation ought to afford
the means to lift them out Of the
very desperate condition in which
they now are. This condition does
not indicate any excessive waste OF
any corruption on the part of the
Reclamation Service. 1t only indi-
Gates an o%ver-zealous desire to ex-
tend the benefit of reclamation to as
many acres and as many States as
possible. I recommend, therefore,
that authority be given to issue, not
exceeding $%30,OOO,OO0, of bonds from
time to time, as the Secretary of the
Interior shall find it necessary, the
proceeds to be applied to the COM
pletion of the projects already be-
gun and their proper extension, and
the bonds runnin. ten years or more
to ho taken up by the proceeds Of
returns to the reclamation fund,
which returns, as the years go on,
will increase rapidly in amount.
There is no doubt at all that if
these bonds were to be allowed to
run ten years, the proceeds from the
public lands, together with the rem
tails for water furnished through the
completed enterprises, would quickly
create a sinking fund large enough
to retire the bonds within the time
specified. I hope that, while the stat

ore to be paid out Of the reclamation
fund, it will he drawn in such a way
as to secure interest at the lowest
rate, and that the credit of the Unit

redemption.
I urge consideration of the recon-
mendations of the Secretary of the
Interior in his annual report for
amendments Of the reclamation act,
proposing ether relief for settlers OH
these projects.

SOME NOTEWORTHY REFORMS
Importance of Conserving Water
ways, Forests, Public Lands Set
Forth By President Taft.

Washington, D. c., Special.-Presi-
dent Taft last Friday sent to Con-
gress a special message on Conserva-
ton of our National Resources,
which, in part, is as follows:
To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives:
In my annual message | reserved
the subject Of the conservation of
our national for discussion
in a special message, as follows:
In several departments there is
presented the necessity for legisla-
ton looking to the further conserva.
ton of our national resources, and
tie subject is one of such Importance
as to require a more detailed and ex-
tended discussion than can be en-
tered upon in this communication.
For that reason I shall take an early
opportunity to send a special mes
sage to Congress or the subject of
the improvement of our waterways;
upon the reclamation and irrigation
of arid, semi-arid and swamp lands;
upon the preservation of our forests
and the re-foresting Of suitable
areas; upon the re-classifcation of
the public domain with a view of
separating from agricultural settle
ment mineral, coal, and phosphate
lands and sites belonging to the gov
eminent bordering on streams suit
able for the utilization of water
power.
In 1860 we had a public domain
of 1,055,911,2S9 acres. We have now
73l,354,081 acres, confined largely to
the mountain ranges and tie arid
and sem;-arid plains. We have, in
addition, 36S,035,975 acres Of land in
Alaska.
Noteworthy Reforms.
Among the most noteworthy re-
forms initiated by my distinguished
predecessor were the vigorous prose-
cution of land frauds and the bring
ing of public attention of the neces-
sity for preserving the remaining
public domain from further spolia-
ZION, or the maintenance and eXten-
sion of our forest resources, and for
the enactment of laws amending the
absolute statutes so as to retain gov
ernmental control over that part of
the public domain in which there are
valuable deposits of coal, of oil, and
of phosphate, and. ~ addition there
to-, preserve control. under conditions
favorable to the public, of the lands
along the streams in which the fall
Of water can be made to generate
power to be transmitted in the form
of electricity many miles to the
point of its use, known as "water-
power" sites.
Land Frauds.

of the public land laws and the

prior to hat date.
Should Meet Conditions.
The present statutes, except so far
as they dispose of the precious met
ais and the purely agricultural lands,
sre not adapted to cary out the
modern view of the best disposition
Of public lands to private owner
ship, under conditions offering on the
n hand sufficient inducement 10
private capital to take them over for
proper development, with restrictive
conditions on the other which shall
ecure to the public that character
of control which will prevent a, mon
opoly Or misuse Of the lands orstheir
products. The power Of the Secre-
tary of the Interior to withdraw
from the operation Of existing sta
tutes tracts of land, the disposition
Of which under such statutes would
be detrimental to the public interest,
is not clear or satisfactory. This
power has been exercised in the in
terest of the public with the hope
that Congress might affirm the ac-
ton Of the Executive by laws adapt
ed to the new conditions. Unfor-
tunately, Congress has not thus far
fully acted on the recommendations
of the Executive, and the question
as to what the Executive is to do
is, under the circumstances, full of
difficulty. 1t seems to me that it is
the duty of Congress now, by a
statute, to validate tie Withdrawals
which. have Deen ma41'' p; 'he Seer
tary of the Interior aH' IL p
dent, and to authorize the Secretary
of the Interior temporarily to with
draw lands pending submission to
Congress of accommodations as to
legislation to meet conditions or
emergencies as they arise.
With respect to the public land
which lies along the streams offering
opportunity to convert water-power
into transmissible electricity, anoth-
er important phase of the public-land
question is presented. There are
valuable water-power sites through
all the public land States. The opin-
ion is held that the transfer Of SOW
ereignty from the Federal govern
ment to the territorial governments
as they become States, included the
water-power in the rivers except so
far as that owned by riparian pro-
prietors. I do not think it necessary
to go into a discussion of this some
what mooted question of law. 1t
seems to me sufficient to say that the
man who owns and controls the land
along the stream from which the
power is to be converted and trans
mitted, owns land which is i%ndispen-
sable to the conversion and use of
that power. I cannot conceive how
the power in streams flowing
through public lands can be made
