both houses of congress and to the inland
waterways commission. The im
portance and manner in which th<
abject is to be considered are indlca
ted in the president's letter to th
governors, which was made public a
the White House today. The lattc
follows:
"The natural resources of the ter
Titory of the United States were, a-i
the time of settlement, richer, rnor<
varied and more available than thorn
of any oilier equal area ou the surfac*
of the earth. The development o
these resources has given us for mor
than a century a rate of Increase li
population and wealth uudreamed o
by the men who founded our govern

that there is no question now befor

plain dutv of those of us who, for th
moment are responsible, to make in
ventory of tlie natural resources whic
have been handed down to us, to fore
cast as well as we may the needs o
the future, and so to handle the tfrea
sources of our prosperity as not t
destroy in advance all hope of th
prosperity of our discondants.
"It is evident that the abundan
natural resources on which the wel?
fare of this nation rests are becoming
depleted, and in not a few cases an
already exhausted. This Is true of al
portions of the United States; it is
especially true of the longer settled
commnnitfps of the east The (gravity
of the situation must, I believe, appeal
with Spxjial force to the governors
of the states because of their close
relations to the people, and their r anonsihilitv

In accordance with the suggestion
Of the inland waterways commission,
to ask the governors of the states and

with the president ?qd with each other
upon the conservation of natural

Not until he went to the offlce this r

iron safe blown open and the contents ,
gone. About fSOO worth of stamps (
and $200 in money had been placed In (
the safe last night. A few of the ,

robbery was at the general office of
the Anderson Traction Company, the
second was the postoflice at Ninety
