Colorado Fore.. Reserves.

f. r. Allen of Washington. d. c.. dis
trict chief of the Federal Bureau Of
Forestry's Investigations of proposed
new forest reserves in Colorado. Idaho
and Montana. has returned to Denver
to inspect the seasons work Of his as
sistants and conclude the examinations
in this state. His reports will be pre-
pared during the next two or three
months and the governments final ac-
tion upon the areas involved may be
expected by the first of the coming
year. Examinations are being made OF
yearly all the mountain areas OF Colo
fado which are important to the pro-
lection OF irrigation streams, including
the San Miguel and La Plata ranges In
southwestern Colorado; the San Juan.
Cochetopah and Sangre de Cristo
ranges. which surround the watershed
of the Rio Grande; the Wet mountains
In Custer county; the West Elk and Sa-
guache ranges on the Gunnison; the
Uncompahgre plateau; the Park and
Medicine Bow ranges in northern Colo
RADIO. and several proposed small ad-
ditions to the present South Platte and
Pixies Peak group Of reserves.
Mr.. Allen states that. while large
area has been Investigated. the resi-
dents of Colorado have no cause to fear
Wholesale reservation OF lands more
valuable for other purposes. The gov
ernment exercises much more care in
this respect than in the past, and the
Investigations cover every aspect OF the
problem. The Importance of the irri-
CATION and other interests to be bene-
fitted is ascertained and compared with
tnat Of those which may be opposed;
the relation OF the forest to the water
supply is studied and the timber is
carefully mapped so that the reserve
will include no agricultural land.
Farming. grazing and mining are con-
sidered. SO that none shall be done an
injustice. The policy is to create small
reserves where they are needed rather
than to include large general areas.
The occasional opposition to re-
serves, Mr.. Allen asserts, nearly al
ways is due to misrepresentation. Where
the people. especially the miners and
farmers, have become familiar with the
policy they are Its fast supporters. The
object Is not to prevent utilization OF
timber and range. but to prevent their
destruction by fire and wasteful use
A fire patrol is maintained and fund
kept available to pay settlers who as
sist In emergencies. Mining laws ap-
ply in reserves exactly as elsewhere
Settlers and prospectors are allowed
free timber for all their needs Lumber
companies. large mines and similar
enterprises may purchase timber and
thus help develop the country, but are
required to take precautions against
fire and are restricted to the economi-
cal nse of mature timber not needed
by local residents or miners.
Grazing Is restricted only SO far as
necessary to prevent overstocking the
range or protect settlers of the region
from outside stock. In allotting the
range the actual resident Of the re-
serve Is given first preference, the man
living nearby is second in considera-
tion and the outsider comes last Only
residents of another state are positive

Preparing for kansa. Suit.

Attorney General Miller and the
corps of able lawyers associated with
him in the defense of the suit brought
by Kansas to put a stop to irrigation
in the Arkansas valley are giving spe
cial attention to the preparation of ev-
idence to be used on the trial. while
at the same time they are guarding all
the legal points.
In view of the attitude taken by the
members OF the Supreme Court on the
argument of the demurrer filed to the
first bill of the plaintiff. 1t looks as II
the case would not be gained on any
purely legal point. apart from the
facts. Accepting this as a possibility
the attorneys and State Engineer Car
penter are gathering a great quantity
of evidence going to show that irriga-
ton in Colorado does not violate any
right enjoyed. by the people OF Kansas
Important in this connection are the
measurements of the river which the
state engineer has been making for
some time. BY means of the evidence
thus obtained the inquiries OF the SUI
preme Court in regard to certain mat
tiers of fact can be readily answered.
Along the same line are the measure
ments already made by the state en-
gineer showing the course of floods in
the river and what becomes of the wa
ter.
AS part of this preparatory work At
torney General Miller has had search
made of documents bearing upon the
history OF the Arkansas river and the
country through which 1t flows. Ex-
plorers who passed along its banks or
crossed 1t years ago are thus called
upon to testify to the character of the
stream long before there was any irri-
CATION to divert its waters.
This historical evidence strongly
supports the assertion made on behalf
of the defense that in an arid region a
stream grows smaller as it proceeds
from its chief source of supply. In hu-
mid countries river becomes larger as
it advances toward its mouth. But it
is not so with rivers in an arid region,
as thousands of men in the Rocky
mountains can testify. An arid region
stream loses much of its volume be-
cause the water sinks into the sands,
some of 1t finding its way far below
inIo the rock formation. Thus the tes-
timony clearly shows that near the
[ mountains the Arkansas has always
= Seen a larger stream than 1t is two or
three hundred miles east of Pueblo.
J 1t is the thorough preparation of the
defense which justifies the hope that
Kansas will fail in, its attempt to check
irrigation in this state, thereby de-
stroying millions of dollars of valuable
property which is the result of the re-
clamation of arid land through irriga-
tion.-Denver Republican.

It will then be practicable, whenever desired, to close the sluices and inundate all of the agrlcultural land in each filled reservoir and thus fertilize it, as is naturally done by the river Nile for it's valley. This is done artiticially in some parts of Europe and Africa. With the deep, alluvial soil, semitropical climate, arid atmosphere, abund- ant water supply and the possi- hility of refertilizing the fields every year without expense, it is believed that such regions can be farmed the year round and several crops taken off annually, an acreage production being thus attained entirely without precedent in history.

Vast Army of ldlers.

There are 165,0 idle men in New York City, notwithstanding the fact that every line of busl- ness is booming in the city. These men, but for strikes, lock outs and diSsenSions among rival labor unions, would be earning a total of S666,000 day or $3, 960, ,000 a week.
 Not only is every penny oi this stupendous sum lost to them, but industries and firms repre- senting a total capitalization ot $550, 100000 are at standstill with a consequent loss of profits.
 The trade paralysis in that city has reached a stage more extensive than any heretofore known during periods of great industrial depression.
 Most of the workmen are idle, not for any act of their individual unions, nor for the acts of other unions, but because of the recent decision of the employers tC stand together and fight the de mands of one union by throwing the workmen of many unions in to idleneSS.

Before he was well known Wendell Phillips, the distin- guished abolitionist, went to Charleston and put up at a hotel. He had breakfast served in his room and was waited upon by a slave.
 MT. Phillips seized the oppor- tunity to represent to the colored man in a pathetic way that he regarded him as a man and a brother, and that he himself was an abolitionist. The other, how ever. seemed more anxious about the guests breakfast than he was about his own position in the social scale or the condition Ot his soul.
 Finally MT. Phillips became discouraged and told him to go away, saying that he could not bear to be waited on by slave.
