Where th Immediately abutting land ta markedly baneflted, and this ben efit can be definitely localised, I trust that there will be careful Investigation to see whether some way can be devised by which it Immediate beneficiaries may pay a portion of the expenses aa is now the tuatorn a regard certain clasees ot Im provements In our municipalities; and measures should bo taken to secure from the localities specially benefited proper terminal facilities. .The expense to the na tion ofventerlnlf upon such ' a scheme of river Improvement as that which' I. be liove It should undertake, will necessarily be great Many cautious and conservative pplo will look askance upon the proJct, and from every standpoint it Is necessary, If we wish to make k successful, that we should rnter upon It only under condltlun which will guarantee 4 lie nation against waste of Its money, and which will insure us against entering upon any project until after lh most elaborate expert examina tion, and reltabt calculation of the pro portion .between cost and benefit, in any -project Tike this thereshould be a definite policy, and a resolute purpose to keep In mind that (ho', only Improvements made should be those really national In char acter. We should act on the same pi In clple In- improving our rivers that we should follow In Improving our harbors. The great harbors are of consequence not merely l the Immediate localities, but to Immeni stretches of country; and the same Is true of the great rivers. It Is these great rivers and great harbors the Improvement of Which Is of primary na tional Interest. The main streams .should be Improved to the highest practical de gree of efficiency before Improvements ara attempted on the branches, and work should be undertaken only when comple tion la within sight within a reasonable time, so that assured results may be gained and the communities affected depend upon the Improvements. Moreoverri as an in cident In caring for the river sa that It nay become an efficient channel of trans portation, tha United States government should do Its full part In levee building, which, In the lower reaches of the river, will not only give a channel for com. meroe, but will also glva protection to tht adjacent bottom lands. So DeSnlte Plaa Heretofore. immense sums have already been spent upon the Mississippi by the states and the nation, yet much of It remains practically unused for commerce. The reasons for this fact are msny. One Is that the work dona by the national government at least has not beeu based upon a definite and contin uous plsn. Appropriations by congress, in stead of assuring the steady progrens and timely completion, ot each piece of work as It was undertaken, havo been Irregular and uncertain. As a direct consequence, far reaching plsnt have been discouraged and continuity In execution has been madn im- roBslble. It Is altogether unlikely that bri ef results wilt be obtained so long as th; method Is followed of making partial appro priations at Irregular intervals for works which should never be undertaken until it is certain that they can be tarried to com- fletlon within a definite and reasonable Ime Planned and orderly development la essentlsl to the best use of every natural rt-source, and to none more than to the best use of our Inland waterways. In the case of the waterways it has been conspicunuly absent. Because such foresight was lack ing the Interests of our rivers have been In fact overlooked. In spite of the immense sums spent upon them. It Is evident that their most urgent need Is a far-slKhted aivl comprehensive plan, dealing not with navi gation alone, nor with Irrigation alone, but considering our inland waterways as a whole, and with reference to every use to which they can be put. The central motive of such a plan should be to get from tha streams of the I'll it ed States not only tiia fullest, but also the most permanent service One Dose AJtuoarJocfmr h Ullyoa, komeltu anV AA4. uat tpiol As ihinh fAyt Chrrrij Pteral.

ALL DEALERS HANDLE IT. they are capable of rendering to the nation aa a whole. The Industries doveloped under the stim ulus of tha railroads ore for the most part Jiermanent Industries, and therefore they orm the basis for future development. But the railroads have shown that they alone cannot meet the demviris of the country for transportation, and where this Is true the rivers should begin to supplement tha railroads, to the benefit of both, by reliev ing them of certain of the leas profitable classes of freight. The more far-seeing railroad men. I am glad to tell you, realise this fact, and many of them have become earnest advocates of tha Improvement Of the Mississippi, so that It may become a sort of Inland seaboard, extending from the Oulf far Into the Interior, and 1 hope ulti mately to tha Great Lrftkes. An Investiga tion of the proposed Lakes-to-the-Oulf deep waterway Is now In progress under an appropriation of the last congress. We shall await Its results with the keenest in terest. The decleton is obviously of capital Importance to our Internal development and scarcely less so in relation to external com merce. Rivers In Far Wast. This Is but one of the many project which It Is time to consider, although a most Important one. Plans for the Im provement of our Inland navigation may fairly begin with our greatest river and Its chief tiibutarles, but they cannot end there. The lands which the Columbia drains In clude a vast area of rich grain fields and fruit lands, much of which is not easily reached by railways. The removal of ob structions In the Columbia and its chief tributaries would open to navigation and inexpensive freight transportation fully J.UOi) miles of channel. The fsacranynto and 8a;i Joaquin rivers, with their thlal openings Into San Francisco bay, are partly naviga ble now. Their navigation should be main tained and Improved, so as to open the mar velonsly rich valley of CallfornlV toi Inex netislva traffic, in order to facilitate both rate regulation and the control of the waters for other purposes. And many other rivers of the- L'nitml 8tates demand Im provement, so as belter to meet the require ments of Increasing production from the soil. Increasing manufacture and a rapidly growing population. While thus the Improvement of Inland navigation is a vital problem, there are other questions . of no less consequence connected with our waterways. One of these relates to the purity ot waters used for the supply of towns and cities, to til prevention of pollution by manufacturing and other Industries, and to the protection of drainage areaa from soil wash through forest covering or Judicious cultivation. With our constantly increasing population this question becomes mora and more pressiitK, because the health and sa'ety of great bodies of citizens are directly In volved. Another Important group of questions concerns the irrlgstlon of srid Isnds. the prevent ion of floods and the reclamation of swamps. Already many thousands of homes have been established on the arid regions, and tha population and wealth of seventeen states and territoriea have been itigely Increased through irrigation. Yet h's means of national development Is still n Its infancy, and It wrll doubtless long 'orlinue to multiply homes and increase the productiveness and power of the na tlun. Tha reclamation of overflow lands snd marshes, both In tha Interior and along the coasts, has already been carried on with admirable results, but In this field, too, scaroely more then a good beginning yet has been insde. Ht III another funda mentally Important question is that of water power. Its significance in the fu ture development of our whole country, and especially of the west, is but Just beg'nnnig to bo understood. The plan of the city of Los Angeles, for exsmple, to bring water for its use a distance of nearly !d0 miles perhaps the boldest proj ect of t tie kind In nHwIerh times promises not only to achieve its curcose. but in ad dition to produce a wuter power sufficiently j valuable to pay large Interest on the In vestment of over 3.000,000. Much Lateat Horse Power. Hitherto such opportunities for using water to double purpose have not always been seized. That it has recently been shown that water enough It flowing un used over government dams, built to Im prove navigation, to produce many hun dreds of thousands of horse-power. It Is computed that the annual value of the available but unused water power In - the I'nlted States exceeds the annual value of the products of all our mines. Further more, it is calculated that under Judicious handling the power of our streams may be made to pay for all the works required for the complete development and control of our Inland waterways. Forests are the moat effective preventers of floods, especially when they grow on the higher mountain slopes. The national forest policy, Inaugurated primarily to avert or mitigate the timber amine which is now beginning to be felt, has been ef fective also in securing partial control of floods by retarding the run-off and check ing the erosion of the higher slopes within the national forests. Bllll the loss from soil wash Is enormous. It Is computed that one-fifth of a cubic mile in volume, or one billion tons In weight of the richest soil matter of the t'mted States, la an nually gathered In storm rivulets, washed into the rivers and borne Into the sea. The loss to the farmer Is in efTect a tax greater than all other land taxes com bined, and on yielding absolutely no re turn. The Department of Agriculture Is now devising and testing means to check this enormous waste through Improved methods of agriculture and forest man agement. Many Claims oa Governnteat. Citizens of all portions of the country are coming to realise that, however. Im portant the Improvement of navigation may bes it Is only one of many ends to be kept In view. The demand for navigation is hardly more pressing than the demands for reclaiming lands by Irrigation- in the arid regions and by drainagu in the humid lowlands, or for utilizing tn water power now running to waste, or for purifying tha waters so as to reduce or remove the tax of soil waste, lo promote manufactures and safeguared lite. It ia the part of wis dom to adopt not a Jumble of unrelated plans, but a single comprehensive schema for meeting all the demands so far as pos sible at the same time and by the same means. Thia is the reason why the Inland waterways commission was created In March last, largely In response to petitions from citizens of the Interior, Including many of the memUtrs of this congress. Broad Instructions were given to tha commission in accordance with the general policy tlici 0 plan should be pre pared for the use of any atpeam tor a single purpose without carefully ' consid ering, and so far as practicable actually providing for. tiie use of that stream for every other purpose. Flans for navigation and power should provide with special care for sites and terminals not only for the Immediate present hut also for the future. It Is because of my conviction In these matters that I am her. Th Inland waterways commission has a task broader than the consideration of water ways alone. There 1s an intiinal relation between our streams and the development and conservation of all ths other great permanunt sources of wealth. It Is not iKissihle rightly to consider the one with out the other. No study of th problem of the waterways could hope to be success ful which failed to consider also the re maining factors In the great problem of lonserving all our resources. Accordingly, 1 hsve asked tne waterways commission ta take account of th orderly develop ment and conservation, not - alone of the waters, but also of the soil, the forests. the mines, and all the other natural re sources of our country. Many of these resources which w hart been iu the habit .of 4-alling Inexhaustible re being rapidly exhausted, or In certain regions nave actually aisappearua. -oai mines, oil and gaa fields, and Iron mines in Important numbers are already worked out. The coal and oil measure which remain are passing rapidly, or have actually passed, Into the possession oi great, cor porations, who acquire ominous power through an unchecked control of these prime necessities of modern life; a control without supervision of any kind. W are consuming our forests threa times faster than thev ara being reproduced. Home of the richest timber lands of this conti nent have already been destroyed, and not replaced, and other vast areaa are on tne verste of destruction. Yet forests, unlike mines, can be so handled as to yield the best results of use, without exhaustion, just like grain fields. Natural Resources Abased. Our public lands, whose highest use Is to supply homes for our people, have been and are still being taken In great quan tities by large private owners, to whom Tiomorniaking Is at the very beat but a secondary motive subordinate to the de sire for profit. To allow the public lands to be worked by the tenants of rich men for the profit of the landlords, Instead of by freeholders for the livelihood of their wives and children, is little less than a crime against our people and our institu tions, t he great central ract ot tne pumtc land situation, as the Public Lands com mission well said, is that the amount of publlo laad patented by the government to Individuals Is Increasing out of. all pro portion to the number of new homes. It Is clear beyond peradventure that our natural resources have been and are still being abused, that continued abuse will destroy them, and that we have at last reached the forks of the road. We are face to face with the great fact that the whole future of the nation la directly at stake In the momentous decision which Is forced upon us. Shall we continue the waste and destruction of our natural re sources, or shall we conserve them? There Is no other question of equal grav ity now before the nation. It is the plain duty of those of us who for the moment ire responsible to maka Inventory of the natural resources which have been handed down to use, to forecast as well as we may the needs of the future, and so to handle th great sources of our prosperity aa not to destroy in advance all hop for th prooperlty of our descend ants. ' As I have said elsewhere, the conserva tion of natural resources Is the funda mental problem. Unless we solve that prob- , leva it will avail us little to solve omerB. ,To aolve it, th whole nation must under take tha task through their organizations and associations, through the men whom they have made specially responsible for the welfare of the several states, and An ' ally through congress and the executive. Aa a preliminary step, the Inland Water- Iways commission has decided, with my full approval, to call a conference on the con servation of natural resources, Including, of course, the streams, to meet In Wash Ington during the coming winter. This conference ought to be among the most important gatherings in our history, for none have a more vital question to con slder. Th rssaais Caaal. There Is a great national project already under way which renders the Ipiprovemcnt of the Mississippi river and Its tributaries specially needful. I mean the Panama canal. The digging of that canal will be of benefit to the whole country, but most of all to the states of th Pacific slope and the gulf; and if tha Mississippi la properly Improved, to the states through which It flows. The digging of th Pan ama canal is the greatest engineering feat which has yet been attempted on this globe. The work has been going on most successfully and. with fewer drawbacks and difficulties than 1 had dared hopo. When under our treaty with Panama we 'took possession of th canal sone I was eon. ftdent that we should be able to build th canal, but 1 took It for granted that w should meet many unexpected difficulties, uot only in the actual work, but through, and because of, tho diseases which had mad the Isthmus a byword of unhealth fulness. Th work don In making th conditions on the Isthmus healthy, however, has boen so successful that at present th death rat among the thousands of Amer icans engaged In the canal work Is lower '..ban In most localities In the Unit4 (Continued on Fifth Page.)

"Mr. Wlklund has as great faith in Doan's Kidney Pills today, as he had when ha gave a statement touching on his ex, perlence with an opinion of this reme dey for publication In our Omaha papers In the spring of 1890. For a numfeer of months he was troubled with pain In the small of his back. At first he gave the annoyance little thought but as it gradually grew worse and more persistant, the nature ot his work being in the heat of an en gine room during the day and the sud den change when he went out nighty adding to, if not bringing on, the com plaint. He found that relief, if pos sible, must be had. Just at this time Ms attention was called to Doan's Kld ney P11U. Procuring and using them the trouble was quickly banished am much to his gratification, the; cure has been a lasting one. The merits of Doan's Kidney pills were proven be- . yond doubt In his case." . OAN'S KIDNEY PILLS. eld y all dealer. Price 60 coats. rOBTHK-MILBUBN CO.. Buffalo. N. T.. Proprietors. 1
