the warning world had no other such dependable supply. We turned to the abundance of spruce for our aero. planes, and the rare metals for allows and we found the limitless abundance of coal and used it to bunker the ship. ping of the Pacific. We increased the supply of the long staple cotton, and of wool, and of meats and fruits l Whatever it was that the world great. ly neded and was listed in our own necessities, we discovered a goodly and reassuring share of it in the vast storehouse of the almost untouched natural resources of the great west.
 Progress in Development.
 During the war we made a good deal of progress toward development of these resources, because the war made rapid and intensive effort necessary. But with the end of the war there came tendency to slacken development. We find that some things were started, and then neglect ed or forgotten. With correct vision of long future, contemplating con- tinued growth, we might well recog- niZe that to this inter-mountain em- pire we must turn for the same serv- ice as that was rendered by our cen tral plains when they were brought into productivity following the civil war.
 Our vision, then, of the ultimate development of the mountain empire, reveals great region, developed un- iformly. with regard to all it's varie- gated possibilities. I have never been able to think of reclamation" as connoting merely the construction of ditches and dams and reservoirs, to put water on dry lands. In my view this has been only a phase-though a most important phase--of reclama- tion. l have believed that our moun- tain west is one day to be one of the richest and most completely self-con. tained economic areas in the world. My vision of the future pictures it as wonderland whose streams are har- messed to great electrical units, from which flows the power to drive rail- way trains, to operate industries, to carry on the public utilities of cities, to smelt the metals and to energize the activities of teeming population.
 Not long ago, great journal of the south published an interview in which l attempted to suggest my hope and aspiration for the new south as developed, renewed and finish ed community, based on the proper and complete utilization of all it's op- portunities. l have similar thought about the possibilities of the mountain west. The Great American Desert" disappeared out of our minds and ge- ographies long ago, but we have re- tained the impression that our Rocky mountain area could never sustain populations and industries comparable with those of the central valley, or of the east, or the south. This has done injustice to the far west. The rich ness of it's mountains, the power of its streams, the productivity of its val leys, the variety of it's climate and op- portunity, the possibility of it's dry areas, all suggest it's destiny to be- come the seat of an ideal civilization.
 No Equal Anywhere.
 I undertake to say that there is no region in all the world whose resources could be developed to the utmost, with greater benefit to the world as whole
The Coconino sun., 1920-09-17

thinks that agriculture is the inspira- tion of great cities and their support ing industrial areas, or whether one believes that agriculture is inspired and encouraged by the necessities of the industrial centers-they are, in fact, interdependent, and the fortune of one is inseparably linked with the fortune of the other. One thing is very certain, that intensive industrial development and the concentration of population in cities can not go on un- less we have an expansion of the food supply upon which they depend for sustenance.
 It is fairly contended that the American expansion of agriculture has had a very considerable part to play in the development of the great indus trial centers of the old world, as we'll as the magic building of our own. Nottingham and Manchester, Dussel- dorf and Berlin, Turin and Barcelona, are almost as much concerned with the size of the American food surplus as are our own great cities.
 Food Supply Essential.
 When all else is said, the fact still remains that all human endeavor must be assured an ample food supply, else nothing is to- be accomplished. It is not to be said that we have outlived the worlds capacity to produce a sur plus of agricultural products, but, con- fessedly, we have gotten out of a properly-balanced proportion in the development of our agricultural sup ply. Much of the world, of course, re- mains undeveloped. It is said that the plains of Siberia, or the productive tropics, could accommodate the worlds population with an abundance of food. but the trouble is that the great, vir- ile, progressive peoples of the world are not inclined to live in Siberia, nor are they attracted to the tropics. As a matter of simple truth they lose the distinct activity and aggressiveness when taken out of the zones of pres ent-day activity.
 It is perfectly useless to talk about transplanting populations. The prac- tical tasks of life are to make old Mother Earth contribute to the call of population wherever it may be To- cated. Thus transportation becomes the key to the problem of supply.
 The inter-mountain and Pacific west is endowed with riches known to no other region of the world. We came to new appreciation of these riches during the anxieties of the world war. Necessity and new real ization of self-dependence led US to appraise the vast deposits of phos- phates and the lakes of potash and the mines of tungsten, and we revived the production of silver and added to the output of lead and copper, because

but want to sense the pride in it's de. velopment.
 Further Development.
 We have come to an era when further development attended by both reclamation and conservation, which go hand in hand, is an important and urgent problem. The world has al- ways had struggle to provide its food. In the practical development of the United States, we must ever con- tinue the enlargement of the available food supply. Industrial development in the cities and agricultural develop ment have gone more or less in har- mony, because the one is absolutely essential to the other. Basically, we must be sure of our food supply first. The development of the Mississippi basin was contemporaneou with the development of our wonderful Ameri- can cities, and the marvel of Ameri- can development began immediately after the civil war. In that conflict we made certain of indissoluble union and put an end to all doubts in the federal constitution and then turned to ex- banded settlement and development with full confidence in the future.
 Farms Made Available.
 When the Union armies were dis persed, farms in the west were made available to tens of thousands of the defenders of union and nationality, the central plains were awaiting, al- most untouched, and out of them were builded dozen splendid common wealths. There is a partially anal ogous situation now. There is an un- devloped mountain west awaiting the touch of genius and industry and there are doubtless thousands of ser vice men who would be glad to turn to this most desirable development very much as service men did in the after period of the civil war. There are, of course, differences in condition, and the mountain lands are not SO ready to answer mans call as were the prairies; but with helpful policy on the part of government these lands can be made available for limitless contributions to the sustenance of the republic and the compensation of those who participate in developing them.
 It does not matter whether one

need of generations yet to come.
 Vision of Roosevelt.

Vision of Roosevelt.
 Theodore Roosevelt had clear wis., ion of the vast possibilities of our west. In chapter of his autobiog- raphy devoted to Natural Resources of the Nation," he says: "The first work took up when became presi- dent was the work of reclamation" In his view, reclamation, conservation and proper utilization, were all parts of the same program. That must be our view today. Tt is better for the government to help poor man to make a living for his family, than to help rich man to make more profit for his company" declared President Roosevelt. This he laid down as one of the principles upon which he based his policy toward public land areas. The principle is particularly sound to- day. We have need to make these areas the seat of millions of new American families, just as we broke up our prairies and distributed them among strong, enterprising, vigorous men who developed them into the great states of the Mississippi valley. Homes for the People.
 We must make our mountain west country of homes for people who need homes. It has everything that they will need. It can provide them with food, with the materials for in- dustry, with lumber from its forests, with metals and minerals from it's mines, with power from its streams, and waters for the irrigation of it's land. And the work must be so done fhnf sf xxyill et %, <1o al~ age of society and the development of the independent, self-sustaining fam fly unit in our citizenship. There must be proper cooperation and direction in this development, but there must be all care to prevent monopolization of resources, and opportunities.
 It has been intimated by some who take, I feel, the, narrow view, that the industry of the east, and the agri- culture of the middle west and south, will not view favorably the proposal to develop new industry and new agri- culture in the mountain country to compete with them. confess to very little sympathy with this attitude. The sons of New York and New England built the great states of the Ohio val ley; and the sons of the Ohio valley reared the splendid commonwealths beyond the Mississippi. The sons of every generation, in our country, have been the pioneers of some new land.
 Miracle of Development.
 We'll do I remember the covered wagon days of the early seventies, when the resolute sons of Ohio took up the westward journey. They had little more of valued possession than unalterable determination to start afreeh and be participants in the de- velopment of the wonderful land awaiting their coming. They wrought their full part in the miracle of de- velopment and gave an added glow to the westward march of the star of en- pire. Many who went were those who had found new soul of citizenship in the preservation of union and nation ality; and it is not impossible that thousands of those who battled to maintain American rights in the world will be eager to participate in the de- velopment of the wonderland we are

In a recent address to western gov ernors, Senator Harding showed a re- markable knowledge of the needs of the west, the development of which is 9 theme uppermost in the hearts of the western people. Senator Harding's views and friendly interest will strongly appeal to our readers:
 Your Excellencies:--It is a mighty pleasing thing to greet you as the of- fcial representatives of several of our great commonwealths, and especially gratifying to me to be able to take up with you, for brief discussion, one of the most interesting and timely prob- lems of the day. refer to that of re- clamation and development in the great and wonderful west. What a wonderful land is ours! No one has ever come to full realization of the physical incomparableness of these United tSates. Nature has been very generous with her bounty and has giv- en us, in the great and measureless west, a variegated and picturesque empire, as beautiful as Switzerland, multiplied many times over in extent, and with diversifcation of industry and enterprise which Switzerland could not develop because her noun tains are we'll nigh barren of the rich es which characterize the Rockies and the coast ranges.
 A True Appraisal.
 Some day, perhaps, we shall come to an appraisal of the mountain west and shall learn something about it's con- tents in coal, copper, iron, gold and silver, and almost every useful min eral deposit; but these are not all, be- cause the mountain west is rich in forests, and lakes of potash, and vast deposits of phosphates, and possesses almost measureless areas that need only water to make them blossom like garden of Eden; and the water is available and needs only the genius and the courage and capacity of man to apply it practically. People of the United States contemplate the wonder- ful west from varying viewpoints. In the east, the tendency is to think of it only as wonderland, but those of the west, who have seen it from the inti- mate viewpoint, not only find un- bounded interest in it's possibilities,

and America in particular, than our

ana Ameflca Tn particular, than Oul mountain west.
 It requires no effort of imagination to contemplate, a few generations hence, our country as a land of from two hundred to three hundred million people, with third of them happily planted in this area.
 We have come to the time when the problem of our far west is one of wisely directed development, rather than of too much conservation, or, per. haps, to put the thought more accur. ately, the bringing about of degree and character of development which will constitute the wise form of con. servation. One can not go on saving all of natures bounty and be fair to the generation of today. I do moi mean that the time has come to break recklessly into our treasure house and squander its contents; but do decid- edly mean that we can not longer de- lay encouragement and assistance to rational, natural and becoming devel. opment. We must have that far western awakening which shall prove an effective corrective of the concen- tration of population and the regional specialization of industry which has ben repeatedly called to our attention and has inclined to make of us a sec tional America.
 Conservation Necessary.
 Conservation, it must always be kept in mind, does not consist in locking up the treasure house of our natural resources. That would be the most ob- iectionable form of waste. Conserva- tion, in its truest sense, consists in the judicious use of resources which are ours. The conservation policy in its application to coal is not the same as in it's application to the forest. Coal, once it is taken from the earth, can never be replaced; the forests, by proper care and attention, may be made to yield a never-ending return. The conservation policy, as applied to rivers and streams, presents still an- other phase. since the tree which we leave standing in the forest, and the coal we leave lying in the mine, re- main for the use of those who may come later on, while the water which flows unused to the sea is lost be- yond reclaim. It is impossible, by the utmost utilization of our flowing wat CTS, to affect to the extent of single drop. the automatic and eternal re- plenishment at the source. Emphat- ically, therefore, in the case of our wat CT power resources, there is not even a seeming paradox in saying that the more we use the more do we save.
 No Monopoly.
 The only problem in the conserva- tion of waters is to see to it relig- iously that this great heritage of the people is not monopolized for private enrichment, and of this there can be little danger if the state-and the na- tion, when it has the jurisdiction shall wisely exercise the powers of regulation which it possesses in re- spect to all public utilities.
 In somewhat different manner the same principle will apply to our other natural resources. Emphasis must be place upon their use rather than upon their storage, only it must be use which, while providing for present needs. must keep an ever watchful guard upon their preservation for the
