ments on the necessity of conserving
our natural resources and criticised
the Individuals who misrepresented
the movement in order to prevent its
spread.
He urged the speedy development of
our waterways especially that be
tween tbe Great Lakes snd the Gulf
of Mexico but ' sounded a warning
against letting the railroads get con-
trol of these developed" waterways.
'I believe" said the colonel "that
the railways should be prohibited from
owning controlling or carrying any in-
terest In the boat lines on our rivers
unless under tbe strictest regulation
of the -Interstate commerce commis-
sion so that the shippers' Interests
may be fully protected."
Colonel Roosevelt reviewed the his-

under way. and then warned his hear-
er against "the men who come to this
congress ostensibly as disinterested

WONDERFUL CAVES
-ieusu mraio
TO BE LIGHTED AND OPENED TO
THE PUBLIC.
Will Rival Mammoth Wyandotte and
Other Famous Caverns Wild
Stones of Hidden Treasure.
San Antonio Texas. Sept. ".Dis
covery of lmeinnse caverns Just north
of San Antonio not far from the San
Antonio-Austin turnpike revives the
thrilling stories of early buccaneers
and highway robbers who in pioneer
days operated In this country.
These caverns are supposed to be
united by underground passages and
are being explored. Entrances though
narrow and concealed lead back to
great caverns cathedral-like In size
and hung with beautiful stalactites
Tbe exploration of these caverns is
rather a dangerous one and is pro
ceeding with a great deal of caution
it appears however that they reach
back miles in extent. As this is a
limestone country similar to that of
Mammoth Cave Ky. It seems that
there will be some remarkable under-
ground discoveries.
Wild stories are floating around the
countryside to the effect that there is
a chamber in one of these caverns
filled with gold and other treasure ac-
cumulated by the old robbers. The
deathbed confession of one of these
galloping men of the road is still
handed around and a number of ven-
turesome spirits are spending their
days In treasure hunting.
The principal cavern is known to
have been used by a party of high-
waymen who called themselves "Los
Quebrantahuesos" which translated
means "The Vultures" and the cavern
still goes by that name.
The owner of this great cave Is a
well known business man of San An-
tonio who proposes to make practical
use' of it by stringing It-wtih electric
lights and having guides show visitors
through It at so much a head.. Unlike
most Texas caves this one has no
bats or snakes In It
REWARDS ARE OFFERED
