Wasteful use of natural resources in the United States
Special to The Washington Post reports from Hanover NHS that HOM Wilson, chief engineer of a branch of the Geological Survey, warns of vast untapped water power and mineral resources. He notes rapid consumption, potential to increase hydro power from four and a half to ten million horsepower, and a drive to conserve water through reservoirs and irrigation support.

How the Natural Resources of America Are Being Destroyed
A report warns timber supplies will exhaust in fourteen years if current use continues, iron ore in two centuries, and coal in two centuries. It contrasts fire losses in 1908 with gold, silver, and coal outputs, advocates irrigation, water power, forest education, and substituting concrete for wood to curb waste. The text cites 1.4 trillion feet of timber and a 40 billion annual forest growth versus a 100 billion annual cut. It also notes potential ten million horsepower from water power and ongoing cement and clay material use.

Oregon towns named by chance and purpose a long list

It notes many places like Sweet Home, Acme, Mule, Mineral, and Corvallis with origins tied to local features, explorers, or notable events.
