Civil Engineer P. L. Harroun went
north this morning to Embudo on spe-
cial business connected with the United
States geological survey. He is taking
measurements of the Rio Grande river at
that point and has representatives doing
the same thing at Rio Grande and also at
San Marcial, with a view to accurately
gauging the stream. The results will
be tabulated for reference. Mr.. Har-
roun says the destruction by fire of the
Colorado forests will have a damaging
effect on the Rio Grande, in that the
snow water will run off earlier and
quicker in the spring, and make the
floods higher and more liable to be
destructive. The great forests on the
mountain slopes acted as natural reser-
voirs to hold back the melting SHOWS,
so that their escape was more or less
gradual. But now with the forests
burned off, the suns action on the snow
will be quicker and there will be more
need than ever of artificial reservoirs.
