The president took the position that
the natural resources would be turn
ed over to the states only under the
conditions that the states guarantee
the protection to the people of those
resources, in other words that the
people would get the most good out
of them, and when the state did not
tons, then they would revert back
to federal control Especially was this
true of the water power. The presi-
dent favored the leasing system on
the lands.

dress that has ever been delivered

States were the 10000 900 people and
that each person had as much right
to say how these resources should

He declared that the question of con-
servation was popular in the east and
that the only solution would have to
come through congress. He declar-
ed that no right solution could be
secured through resolutions that crit
icised and mmck-raked. Neither could
a right solution be secured through
incidents that tended to bring in
harmony, but that the best solution
could be secured through compro-
misses on both sides.
"You Leave Those
Resolutions at Home"
"When you send your committee
to Washington" the president declar-

TAFT ENTERTAINED
IN DENVER

H. Taft was the guest of Colorado
today. For sixteen hours he divided
his time between political, social, ma
tional, commercial and international
themes and incidentally stopped long
enough to be baseball fan and pre-
sent the managers and players of the
Denver baseball clubs with souve-
Mrs all the way from buttons to au-
tomobiles. Those who are with him
say it was the busiest day he has
put in since he left Washington. To-
night when he stepped on his car.
tired but happy, Governor Mcdonald
remarked: "If we neglected you for
a minute we are willing to do the
whole program over again If you will
name the date"
1t was one round of pleasure and
seriousness. And not once did the
visitor lose sight of tw, facts, first
that he is an American citizen, and
second that he is president of the
greatest country on earth.
There are three or four incidents
in today's program that will mark
history in Colorado. The other Incl
dents were entertaining, such as the
giving of the souvenirs to the base
ball players, the joining of the Den
yer Press Club. the joining of the
Yale Club of Colorado and the at
tendance at luncheon at Crawl, I'd
Hills. The incidents that will mark
history in the state were his speech
before the alnds convention, his ad-
dress to the Republican workers of
Colorado and his plea for peace at
the Chamber of Commerce banquet
tonight.
States Position to
Lands Convention.
Regarding the first, his speech be-
fore the lands convention, those who |;
felt that he might dodge the issue !
were gravely mistaken. Mr. Taft
lodged nothing. He outlined the pol
icy that he wants pursued, and it is !;
policy of compromise between the !;
federal and the state governments. |
1t will be remembered that the con-
vention adopted resolutions critici- !
sing the federal government in all of /
its departments of interior yesterday
and demanding that certain things be i
done. 1t will also be remembered ;
that this convention invited President !
Taft to address the body on the posi-
tion of the national government with
regard to the disposition of its ma
tural resources.
Adopted Resolutions !:
Before Hearing Him.
In opening the President told a
story Of judge who decided case
before he heard either the facts or
the law, and who, when the lawyers
protested. told them they could have
half hour each to talk, but it would
mt change his decision. Mr.. Taft
stated that he was in the same
position as those lawyers. That the
convention had invited him to state
the government policy and had pro-
ceeded to adopt resolutions condemn
ing the government policy before
they heard him state the governments
policy. The President handled the

Cats Drive Off Snakes,

For many years have been running
cattle station in Queensland, where
snakes are tolerably numerous. At
the head station we have always kept
up a standing army of from Is to 20
cats and have been practically free
from the presence of snakes about the
building and yards.
That this was owing to the presence
of our cats have no doubt whatever.
They were always on the lookout, and
| have often seen members of our
feline body guard growing over dead
or dying snakes and have more than
once witnessed savage encounters be-
tween them and their victims On
the other hand, martyrs to their duty
were from time to time found dead
in the morning with all the evidence Of
a fight and their defeat in the shane
of snakebite on their bodies.-Spec-

LAST CHANCE NOW,GONE.
Supreme Court Denies Application for
RehearIng.

The last hope that was held out to
Leo Cramer, former vice president OF
the Idaho State bank at Haley, and
who was convicted of receiving funds
for deposit after the bank was insol-
vent, of escaping serving the sentence
of six months to two years imposed up
on him by the court, was lost to him
yesterday, when the supreme court de-
MED the application for rehearipg of
his case.
Following the failure of the Idaho
State bank of Haley, September l.,
1910, charges were filed against Cra-
mer and Cashier Cults, charging them
with accepting a deposit of $40 on the
day before the bank closed it's doors
1t was argued that the officials of the
bank knew at the time that the institu-
ton was insolvent and that their ac-
ton in receiving the deposit under
those conditions was grounds for con-
vlctlOn. Cramer's case dragged itself
through the courts for the past year.
and finally resulted in his conviction
He was given an indeterminate sent
ence of from six months to two years,
less time allowance for good behav-
ior.
Cramer's defense was that the de-
post was actually received by Cashier
Cults, and that Cramer was in ignor-
ance of it's receipt. However, the trial
court took no cognizance of this, and
held Cramer responsible for the acts
of his subordinate. He has been serv-
ing time in the penitentiary since his
conviction and sentence, while his at
torneys have endeavored through an
appeal to the supreme court to have a
| new trial granted.
The action of the supreme court is

official is responsible for the acts OF
his subordinates, and that such a plea

POTASH SALTS IN BRINfS.
Investigations Show Possibility of De-
yeiOping Potash in United States.

The United States Geological survey
is issuing another preliminary report
on its potash investigations under the
special appropriation made last winter
to aid in the search for an American
supply of potash. Special interest at.
taches to the statistics contained in
this report, for they show phenom-
email increase in our purchases of Ger
man potash in 1911. According to the
figures compiled by the bureau of sta
tistics of the department of commerce
and labor, the imports of potash for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1911
were valued at $14,000,000. From the
figures available it seems likely that
the imports for the calendar year 1911
will reach nearly $15,000,000, an in
crease over those of the preceding
year of almost $3,000,000.
During the year a geologist of the
survey, w, c. Phalen, visited practic-
ally all the salt plants in the eastern
part OF the United States where there
seemed any likelihood of obtaining in
formation that would lead to discover

Lessons In Etiquette.

Those who have dined in restau-
rants or hotels habitually will find
that they have fallen into many un-
pleasant little ways, permissible pos.
sibly toward landlord, but not to.
ward hostess. They feel that they
have the privilege both to criticise
openly and to imply criticism either OF
the food itself or of the way in which
it is served. Women who cherish the
ambition of making poor, forlorn
habitues of hotels happy with home
cooking" have their hopes dashed by
this ungracious habit. Let those, too,
who have fallen into the habit of dip.
ping spoon or fork into a glass Of
water and then wiping 1t on napkin
before using it beware Of those mo-
ments when they become deeply alb
sorbed in conversation at the house Of
friend or even at the home table.

salts, as we'll as underlie them. Both
these conditions, says Mr. Phalen, ex-
list at Stassfurt. This report treats
briefly of the geology of several of the
salt producing areas, Samples of the
brines and waste bitterns, or concen-
trated liquors after the extraction of
the salt, at some of the salt works are
being carefully analysed by the bureau
of soils of the department of agricul-
ture, working in cooperation with the
survey. Some of these show consider

Ohio Bittern Promising.
In connection with the subject of BIT
terms, natural highly concentrated
bittern from northern Ohio seems to
hold out sufficient promise to warrant
further attention. This bittern is a
"bugbear' to the salt industry of this
part of that state, for il allowed to get
into the brine from which the salt is
made is renders the brine bitter and
spoils the salt. AS container of pot
ash salts, however, this bittern may
prove to be the richest known in the
eastern states. In working it up for
potash salts, the common salt and
gypsum will first be separated from it.

Potassium chloride constitutes nearly

Possible Eastern Deposits Of Potash.
While the salt-producing industry of
the United States is important and well
distributed, little or no attention has
been paid heretofore to the possible
occurrence of potash salts in connec-
ton with salt. There is possibility,
however, that potash deposits may ex-
list in the eastern portions of the Unit
ed States as well as in the arid region.
The German deposits are in a region
subject to comparatively heavy rain
fall, the potash beds being, however
protected by an everything clay. 1t
should be noted, too, that the discov-
cry of the Stassfurt potash beds was in
the nature of an accident. In fact
says Mr.. Phalen, the drilling which the
German government prosecuted for
five years was intended for the devel-
opment of the salt industry and the
drill actually passed through a deposit
of sO-called "Abraumsalze," or refuse
| salts, consisting largely of compounds
OF potash and magnesium, then con.

sible, he states, that large potash de-

new MAP OF NORTH AMERICA
FOrty-tw0 Col0rs Shown on Map of the
Continent Issued by United States.

The most notable map publication of
the year is the large geologic map of
North America just issued by the Unit
ed States geological survey. 1t repre-
sents an exceptional type of engrav-
ing and photographic color work and is
printed in four sheets which fitted to-
gether and mounted make a map 6
feet 5 inches high by 5 feet wide, the
largest piece of work ever issued by
the survey. The scale is l to 5000 900,
or so miles to the inch, and the plan
of projection is in harmony with the
universal world map on a scale of / to
100000, in that it shows the units of
publication of the world map, each of
which embraces four degrees of lati-
tude and six degrees of longitude.
Each Sheet Printed Fourteen Times.
The color scheme of the map is a
striking one. In all there are AZ col
or distinctions, varying from brilliant
red to pale tints approaching white.
These were produced by Ia separate
printings from photographic stones, re-
curing in many places two or three
combinations of colors to produce the
desired effects. If the weight of paper
and heavy stones lifted back and forth
in the printing of this job were to be
computed it would run into the hun
dreds of tons. The accuracy of the
register" or fitting together of the
color blocks in small areas throughout
the map, is remarkable. The work
was done in the surveys own engrav-
ing and printing plant, and it is be-
lieved that there are few if any other
establishments in the United States
capable of turning out such produce
ton. The AZ color distinctions repre-
sent as many divisions of rock strata
Thus the rocks of seven divisions of
the Paleozoic era are each represented
by color, besides three separate col
ors for undifferentiated rocks, and
there are other colors for the divisions
of the Mesozoic, the Tertiary and the
Quanternary.
The colorings of the map is both eff
fective and pleasing. The scheme is
systematic in that the colors range in
prismatic order from yellow in the
upper portion of the geologic column
through green's, blues, and puppies to
pinks and browns at the base. The
colors for the igneous rocks, both plu-
tonic and volcanic, are mostly bright
red. Viewed as wall map the map
of North America shows only the
larger geologic units, as the smaller
divisions are represented by different
shades and tints of the same or closely
allied colOrS which are indstinguish-
able at moderate distance
Valuable for Detailed Study.

distinctions can be read and the map
