T. 9. HENRY ON FLOODS.
Former Abileneite Writes Of Cause
and Prevention.

A late issue OF the Denver Post con.
tanned an interesting communication
from well known Kansan advancing
the denuding OF forests as theory
for the extraordinary rains which
brought on the recent flood in this
state. The Posts contributor was 7.
c. Henry, cnce the Wheat King" Of
Kansas and a man who can talk ON
the subject Of irrigation in several
different languages and OF a cost Of
many thousands Of dollars. We re-
print Mr.. Henry's article below:
have long observed that Colorado
mountains above climber line" have
the greatest average precipitation
snow and rain. 1t is well known that
our mountain forests are being rapid
ly depleted by the cutters, saw mills
aud es-greatly and rapidly extend
ing the barren surfaces and thus in.
creasing enormously. the "above tim
Der line" area in.character and precip-
itation. Formerly, the forests, like
blanket, so to speak, moderated the
and gave out moisture In
and more equable pro-
portions. But now the vast denuded
surfaces have widened the cold ex-
posures and like Pixies peak attracted
increased precipitation in such accum.
ulated quantities that finally unfor-
tunate Kansas is deluged. / see that
the same disastrous consequences are
assailing the Rio Grande water shed,
and naturally therefore the San Luis
valley and all Of New Mexico are be-
set by food and disaster.
It Is evident that we must ''let up"
denuding our mountains or we shall
effect such an increased precipitation
that, by inundating Kansas, for in.
stance, we may invite another inter-
state suit. We have, apparently,
been proceeding on wrong theory
Of precipitation. The forests check
it. By extending the government
preserves, the too rapidly increasing
will be reduced to its normal
limits and in d few brief months.
perhaps, our sister states and our
own fertile valleys will be no longer
endangered.
The delightful and noble work Of
preserving our mountain forests
should enlist the aesthetical, the
humane and those who cling to the
Anticipated idea that rain will soon be
q tradition, II forests are destroyed.

Talk of the Tariff.


There is no better indication that the
tariff question is coming to the front
again than the signs Of returning life In
the American Protective Tariff League.
The Hon. Charles A. Moore. the presi
dent OF the league, has just returned
from a seven-months' trip abroad, and
finds that people East and West are talk
ing tariff. He has made some inquiries
about the iowa idea" and what IT
means, and has read the platform Of the
Ohio Republicans.
Straightway he has set at work to re-
juvenate the league, which has just come
forth in an announcement that 1t has
moved from It's isolated quarters TO a
conspicuous place on Broadway, and IL
preparing for the distribution of docu-
ments by the carload. While the money
question and Imperialism were being
discussed in the political forum, the pro-
tected industries saw no reason for be-
stirring themselves and agitating the
question OF schedules. which 10 always

Ieaped the benefits of the tariff. So. too.
they were not generous with their con-
tributions toward the support of the
American Protective Tariff League. and
IL languished
Through the efforts OF it's persistent
treasurer and general secretary. the Hon.
Wilbur F. Wakeman. the organization
has been kept intact, and is now again
starting up In business. Mr.. Wakeman
sees the tarin cloud approaching, and
is preparing for the storm by sending
out timely warnings. The beneficiaries
of the tariff are responding. and by the
time the battle is on next year the
American Protective Tarih League will
be much In evidence.
