Page 1903 - About ten o'clock I bade adieu to Mount Vernon, to private life, and to domestic felicity ; and with a mind oppressed with more anxious and painful sensations than I have words to express, set out for New York with the best disposition to render service to my country in obedience to its call, but with less hope of answering its expectations.

Page 1905 - Our streams and rivers offer us a possible total of 55,000,000 horsepower, and of this less than 11,000,000 has been developed. Of our 25,000 miles of possible inland waterways probably less than 7,000 are really modernized, and the utility of much of these 7,000 miles is minimized by their isolation into segments of what should be connected transportation systems. We still have 50,000,000 acres of possible reclaimable and irrigable lands which, while not now needed for agricultural production, will...
Page 1905 - True conservation of water is not the prevention of use. Every drop of water that runs to the sea without yielding its full commercial returns to the Nation is an economic loss.
Page 1905 - ... great projects of major importance: (1) Mississippi system; (2) Columbia River system; (3) Colorado River; (4) Great Lakes system; (5) the Great Valley of California; (6) intracoastal waterways; (7) other important developments, including the Rio Grande and Hudson River. Each system must be considered as a whole and organized to the maximum results.

Page 1905 - UTILIZATION OF OUR WATER RESOURCES During the year the Department of Commerce, as directed by its organic act, continued to give active consideration to the commercial possibilities in the full utilization of the water resources of our country — inland water-borne transportation, power, irrigation, reclamation, and flood control. A broad national policy is needed for the orderly development of all river and lake systems that we may not suffer great losses through erratic development and failure...
Page 1905 - ... development and failure in coordination to secure the maximum economic returns from each drainage basin. Water is today our greatest undeveloped resource. Our streams and rivers offer us a possible total of 55,000,000 horsepower, and of this less than 11,000,000 has been developed. Of our 25,000 miles of possible inland waterways probably less than 7,000 are really modernized, and the utility of much of these 7,000 miles is minimized by their isolation into segments of what should be connected...
Page 1903 - Marquis, in order to show my decided predilection is, that, at my time of life and under my circumstances, the increasing infirmities of nature and the growing love of retirement do not permit me to entertain a wish beyond that of living and dying an honest man on my own farm. Let those follow the pursuits of ambition and fame, who have a keener relish for them, or who may have more years in store for the enjoyment.
Page 24 - THE reasons for owning a good piano are so varied and conclusive that no thinking person can afford to disregard them. For its influence in moulding musical traditions . . . for its undoubted decorative effect . . . for the joy of personal creation which it gives . . . cultivated people everywhere regard it as indispensable. That such people should choose the Steinway is both natural and inevitable.
Page 24 - ... which has won the praise of virtually every musician of note, from Franz Liszt to Deems Taylor.

The durability which is built into it — carefully, step by step — extends the limits of its service over 30, 40 and even 50 years or more. And no matter which of the many sizes you select, it will yield that rich return of pride and pleasure which only a Steinway can give — to you, and your children,...
