'National Conservation Commission Will Undertake The Task at Once. WATER POWER QUESTION. WATER, WOOD AND OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES NOW BEING WASTED MAY BE CONSERVED AS THE RE8ULT.

. Washington, Sept 12. The national conservation commission has made public the first of its schedules on which the inventory of the country's natural resources is being conducted. Only a few of the schedules have, as yet been given out, but between the lines of these it is plainly evident the national conservation commission intends to hunt down waste in all its varied forms and to devise some means to prevent it. This is apparent in the general schedules as to each of the four sections of the commission waters, forests, lands and minerals. ' For instance, the schedule relating to lands inquires into waste of soil by erosion, which is the washing away of the land. The schedule also suggests waste through "bad agricultural methods." The lands schedule likewise goes Into waste in the carrying capacity of the public range in the west. The section of waters is Inquiring into how much land capable of irrigation 1s wasted by not being irrigated. More Important still is its suggestive inquiries tending to show that we re wasting our waterways to an alarming extent by not using them as we should. Perhaps the greatest form of waste brought out in the entire schedule is that relating to water power. Two of the official inquiries are as follows: "Are existing developed water powers put to their full use?" "To what extent can coal be saved by the substitution of water power?" Under the head of flood waters, the commission Inquires, "To what extent are flood waters wasted?" The mineral section of the commission is seeking to find out "the nature and extent of waste in mining, extraction and use of mineral products" and "methods of preventing or lessening this waste." That forest conservation must largely take the form of saving wastes in manufacture seems to be the conviction of the conservation commission. The commission is busy conducting a census by correspondence to find the common wastes in wood using industries. Queries were sent to eight hundred manufacturers of cooperage stock for the purpose of getting a line on the waste of wood in the making of barrels and casks. Similar wastes occur in turning the logs into headings, and In the manufacture of barrel hoops. The forest section Is trying to find just how important such wastes are, with the object of suggesting, if possible, a way of cutting down the drains upon the forests which means no gain to any one, but loss to all. The returns from the Inquiries will form part of the report of the conservation commission, when the work of taking the preliminary inventory of our natural resources is completed. The national conservation commission Is to take up reports of the various government bure?us which are now at work on this Inventory for general discussion at its meeting in this city, Tuesday, December 1. One week later, Tuesday, December 8, the commissioners will discuss the same subject with the governors of the states and territories,, or their representatives.

UNKNOWN TOWNS

Mexico Geographical Commission Makes Report That Is Startling.

PCACES ARE UNHEARD OF.

Mexico City, Sept. 12,-The geographccal commission appointed by the government seven years ago to map all of the towns of the country has Just made its report. The commissioners make the astounding statement that they have discovered 7,679 towns which were not officially known to exist, and which have heretofore had no federal control. Many of these towns are of considerable size, ranging in population from 5,000 to 15.000 people. Most of them ere situated in the remote recesses of the Sierra Madre mountains and in localities far removed from ordinary courses of travel.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept 12. The seventh annual convention of the National Nut Growers' Association will be held here October 27-28-29. This fatherine promises to be of particular importance to the industry. Holding the meeting late in October makes it possible to have a large and varied exhibit of nuts selected from this season's crop.

The official program is being carefully arranged. New plans for perpetuating and extending the work. will be discussed. Another feature of the program will be the reports from state vice presidents and from auxiliary organization, showing progress and achievements in the various sections of country. F. H.

Merry Widow Club Says No Men Are Wanted and Plays Own Games.

SOME PRIVILEGES GIVEN.

Albany, N. Y Sept. 12. Married men will apply in vain for invitations to "Men's" night entertainments, according to the restrictive rule adopted by the "Merry Widows' club" organized by ten ycung and pretty widows. Bachelors and widowers will be cheerfully welcomed, it is said, to all functions of the club. After discussion it was voted to permit the members of the club to attend theater and dinner parties in company with gentlemen, providing that there must never be any married men, married women, maiden ladies or grass widows in the party. Mrs. M. J. Burritt of Albany, at whose home the club was organized, last night said there was considerable rivalry last winter at whist parties between widows and married women, "so we just decided to have our own set. That's the reason we organized tho club." Mrs. F. E. Howard of New York, was elected president.

Chicago, Sept. 12. One of the most remarkable heirlooms in the possession of any Chicagoan is a watch made more than 300 years ago in England and brought to this country in 1634. It is now owned by Reuben S. Price, a retired traveling man, living at 756 Seventy-second street. Although this is the sixth generation of the family in America that has owned the watch, it is still recording faithfully Father Time's hours and minutes with the most commendable accuracy. The watch was made near the close of the fifteenth century, and there is an indisputable record of its ownership from the year 1634, when it was in the possession of Mordecai Price, who was among the very earliest settlers In Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The watch was handed down from father to son from Mordecai the first to his son, Mordecai and his son's son, Mordecai, the latter bequeathing it to his son Elijah, who in turn intrusted it into the hands of his son, John K., the father of the present possessor of the relic. The various owners and the dates of their acquisition of the watch are engraved upon the back as follows: "I was brought to St. Marys, Md., in 1634 by Mordecai Price. "1662 his son, Mordecai Price, Jr. "1723 his son, Mordecai Price, Jr. "1781 his son, Elijah Price. "1830 his son, John K. Price. "1862 his son. Reuben S. Price." Continuing the custom from the first Mordecai down through six generations, Reuben S. Price will some time give the valuable curio to his own and only son, Reuben S. Price, Jr. Mr. Price naturally prizes it above price, having recently refused an offer of $1,000 for It. The watch, in the opinion of a wellknown Chicago watchmaker, was made entirely by hand, probably the only one In existence made without the aid of machinery. Even the tiny chain, which age does not seem to

have worn, was put together by the patient fingers of its maker over three centuries ago.
