Conclusion
The field of conservation of our National resources is so broad and the various subjects embraced are so inter-related one with another, each of wMch admits of almost unlimited expansion and study, that the foregoing report is more n the nature of an inquiry to nd where we stand n this great National movement. We have attempted to present a general view of the situation both as to the amount of physical data available on the natural resources of Oregon and as to the uses that are being made of them.
This survey of the general field has revealed certain features concerning the use and conservation of these resources that in our mind demand immediate attention from the people of Oregon through their Le&slature at the coming session. Without doubt the most significant feature and one without justiScation s the LACK OF PHYSICAL DATA. We believe this lack is greatly retarding the development of our natural resources and in some cases actually aiding their monopolization.
