STORAGE RESERVOIRS AND FOREST
RESERVES.

Large tracts of government land are
hcing withdrawn from settlement in
Southern Colorado and other places
for the purpose of crcating forest re-
serves. The argument that is being
used 10 justify this action is that the
timber is being cut from the sides OF
The mountains exposing them 10 the
sun and causing the snow To melt early
In the spring instead Of laying on the
ground until later in the summer or
melting slowly rs the water is needed.
In other words, II the timber is left
standing 10 protect The snow the
farmers will have plenty of water just
when they need it.
This argument reminds us of the
man who used the wart On the back OF
his'neck for collar button because he
was too conservative 4" spend three
cents tn buy the real article. The fact
Is, that we believe II warr, grown the
proper shape and at the right place,
would answer the purpose of n button
n great deal more satisfactory than any
amount of forest reserve will answer
for storing water.
There is only one way 10 solve the
irrigation prohcnl, one way to save the
millions of cubic feet of water that is
being wasted each year, one way to
redeem millions of acres of arid land,
one way 10 provide good homes for
thousands of families, and that is to
build storage reservoirs.
Uncle Sam may think he i doing
the right thing III creating forest ro-
serves and hopes in this way to supply
the necessary water to irrigatc his vast
domain in the West. If his motive is
right we have nothing to say. But,
on the other hand, if he is trying to
save three cents and thinks the western
rancher doesn't know the difference
between warts and buttons, he is very
much mistaken and his notions do not
meet with our approval.
As IL rule, there i 10 scarcity OF
water for irrigating purposes until the
middle of June of the first of July, and
by this time Of the year nearly all the
snow remaining on the mountain is
above timber line. Much Of the country
included in the territory Withdrawn
is So located that snow docs not lay on
1t but a few days after falling.
The storage reservoir must come
sooner or later, ami why net put forth
every available effort to get them as
so3n rs possible. 1t will he II big un-
dertakiug and tHcle Sam will have 10
advance the money, but he will receive
il all hack plus n good rate Of interest.
The West is not asking for charity
Forest reserves are all right in the
proper places, and have their degrees
Of usefulness. A great many things
can be carried in hn,ket, but baskets
are not the best things TO use for carry
ing water.

lr is reported that Sheriff Clarke
turned down the attempt to have eight
men appointed as deputies at Trinadad
who had been imported by the opera
tors from New Mexico and are known
as notorious gun fighters. If this re-
port IL true the sheriff is to be com
nended for his action. AS a rule a
man, who is in the market for II job
Mt wlrich he might get II chance to
shoot his fellow man, is not very
good citizen at best; besides the ac-
,mplishment of being handy with a

 An attempt to replace pickets on the part of the strikers to-day was met with an order from the military author ities that this snail not be done. The Federation of Labor men were also warned not to place pickets around the houses of employees of the mills.
 President Meyer of the Federation went, to Denver last night to the head quarters of the Federation, and stated before he left that if the necessity should arise a strike would be called in the Cripple Creek district March 9, the limit named in the demand of the Fed eration of the mine owners not to ship ore to the Colorado City mills.
