Some Suggestions.

TO protect the rights Of Inc states and
nation and develop the country's power
possibilities. Mr. Fisher suggested this
as the basis for federal water power
policy. which he urged on cougrcss for
immediate action:
Federal government to retain the right
10 grant permits for power development
enterprises.
Tho right to adjust the basis o. rates
at certain intervals TO be reserved
Provision he made In the grants for
regulation Of the enterprise b. the state
or its municipal division.
Revenues collected by the government
for the use OF water power 10 be sX-
pended on tho stream where water power
ts developed
Revenue and taxes TO be made es low
as possible"
Clifford Pinchot, former chief forester,
advocated that all power licenses be
mndc for limited term, approximately
ATTY years. Secretary Fisher expressed
the opinion that such a limitation Is not
necessary. II the government reserves
the right to adjust the companies' prices
at Intervals OF Approximately ten years

IORDER EASTERN .sTAR|QPPORTlNITY AT HAND
Men Never Had as Good a Chance
to do Good.

The Mems Meeting at the Y. M. c.
A. auditorium, held in the interest OF
the Men and Religion Forward Move,
ment on Sunday afternoon was only
fairly we'll attended, but the meeting
was nevertheless of great interest to
all who were present. After an en-
thusiastic praise service, which was
made all the more enjoyable on &C
count of the presence of the orches.
ira and several sincere and heartfelt
prayers were offered, DR.. c. l.. Stat,
ford, the district superintendent OF
the Oskaloosa district and formerly
president of the Iowa Wesleyan Col
lege at Mt. Pleasant, spoke to the
men regarding the vision of Ihaiah,'
as recorded in the 9Th chapter of Isl
abs Prophecy. His remarks were
particularly based upon the words OF
the prophet, Here upon the words OF
the prophet, here am |, send me-"
DR.. Stafford spoke in an optimistic
manner regarding the great move
ment among the leymen of the church
and what it Portends for the future
of religious activity. Two co-operat'
ing forces are at work, the leymen's
movement in behalf of missions and
the Forward Movement among the
men in the home land. It is believed
by many that the great opportunity
presented has never been available
before in the history of the world
and that possibly may never happen
again and that the time and condi-
tions are now ripe for an irresistible
and compelling onward movement in
religious work among the men of all
classes of society.
The address was given the closest
attention and was greatly enjoyed
and the men were led to realize that
God was calling the church in its duty
to the world as never before and that
their personal responsibility as Chris
tian workers is becoming greater as
the days go on. The announcement
was made by General Secretary Har'
ry V. Henness that State Secretary
w. NJ. Parsons, who was selected as
NJ. c. A. in OskalOosa, when it was
first organized and that the Oskaloo'
sa association was the first Y. Nj. G..
A. that he had served in his chosen
work, would speak next Sunday. His
work in Oskaloosa was very success
full and he has since been called to
greater activity in Y. Nj. G. A. circles.
For several years He vas one of the
international secretaries in charge OF
special work and has spoken to the
men of Oskaloosa on several occar
sions during the past few years. He
is always heard gladly by the men Of
Oskaloosa, as many regard him as a
personal friend and fine large aud
fence should greet him when he
speaks next Sunday in the interest
of the Forward Movement.

the time bell was rung on him. Then
he started another row by demanding
that the portion of his printed speech
which he had been unable to deliver
be incorporated in the congress rec
ordS.
In spite of the efforts of Pinchot's
friends TO stop the speed h, Bartlett
Dlowed on, referring to the leader of
the conservation movemC Mt as the
DOGGY man" and declari lg that his
fantastic policies, instead of saving
the country from waste and monop-
by of natural resources, was actually
delivering it into the hands of the
interests
Instead of seeing the nations re-
sources in a state of near-exh austion
with bread famine only genera,

prove that the country could run
along very we'll for several thousands

was force down by the changing OF

In a press dispatch of March II
1908, Mr.. Pinchot said that there is
not enough timber in this country to
last thirty years, and he made the
statement that the coal supply will
be exhauscd in less than a hundred
Iears. I'll tell you the real facts,
Mr.. Bartlett said. "A specific survey
of our coal resources made by the
United States geological survey in
1897 and in 1898 shows an aggregate
of coal deposits in the United States
of 3,076, 204 100000 tons.
Taking the annual output of coal
consumed in this country, amounting
to over 4OO,0OOOOO tons, it will be
found that we have enough coal on
hand in the ground to last this nation
over 1000 years. In Wyoming alone
| there is enough to last more than
1000 years AS to the timber, official
reports show that our forests produce
| three times the consumption of tim
| Der per year. No one need sit UP
nights worrying about the denudation
of our forests"
