From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Meteorologists to-day doubt whether
the removal of forests has any effect
upon rainfall, although they concede
that it accelerates the rate at which
water runs off from mountain sides.
This is a very general assertion. There
are a great many meteorologists. It
is a new science, If, indeed. 1t can
be called a science. 1t is in the ex-
perimental stage, with few fixed prin-
ciples, and almost any one who has
given any attention to the elements
is called a meteorologist. The belief
that the removal of the forests has
a material effect on the rainfall is
very old and well-nigh universal. 1t
is begotten Of an experience extend
ing far back of the time when me-
teorology was generally known as a
science.
Nature itself, entirely disassociated
with the work Of man. furnishes the
strongest prima facie evidence that
the forests play large part in the
rainfall In the Southwest, where
there are vast deserts created by the
recedlng of the waters, alkali deserts
which in their present condition Will
grow no trees. and which are sur
covered with forests, there is a rain
fall over these deserts of about five
inches, while in the forest-clad hills
n.nld mountains the rain and snow
fall is about the average enjoyed by
territory comfortably provided with
forests.
This is an experience OF centuries,
extending over an immense stretch
OF country, and appears 10 outweigh
the experiments OF two or three years
upon which these meteorological
doubts are founded. but there are
other proofs in the western country
quite as strong as the above. In the
mining regions of some of the states.
particularly Nevada, the forests have
been removed, stripped. in fact. for
hundreds of miles, with the result
that the water courses have dwindied
to almost nothing, where prior 70 this
vandalism they ran in great volume
and supplied all the wants of the set
tiers. In Europe IL has been the be-
lief for ages that the forests have
direct influence on the rainfall, and
on that account forest preservation
Is regarded as one Of the most Inn
portant features OF country life.

He has made the following state
ment in regard to the matter: Il
was captured by four men August
9Th, and they robbed me of every
thing | had. They carried me to
the mountains and | was made TO
walk every day until the thirtieth
lay of August when | made my es-
ape. They had me near ODuto. and
was forced to sign the name OF
George Reese to the letter sent my
wife asking for my ransom.
The leader left me in charge OF
them every day. The desperadoes
were armed with thirty-thirty Marlin
rifles and constantly kept me ter
rorized. At night they tied me with
strong ropes. On the night of my
escape | secured a sharp rock and
cut the rope and escaped. For four
days ! wandered through the mouu-
tains in search of a road and lived
ON berries, seeds, rabbits and young
birds. and finally reached a railroad

false and all nonsense and the pro-
testants knew it. He had a right to
all the waters and they knew it.
Attorney Reid at this point asked
if the statement read by Judge Free
man was the case of the protestants.
He wished to know what he was ex-
pected to reply to.
Judge Freeman said that this was
no court, and that their case consis-
ted of the statement of the witness
es and the written statement. They
would not confine themselves to that,

After some discussion the Com
mission ruled that there must be
some definite contention. some posi-
tive issue on which to act. Mr. Reid
must know to what he was expec-
ted to reply Adjournment would be
taken until two O'Clock and in the
meantime the protestants could file
their statement as to what they con-
tended. This must be done in order
that something definite could be Sc
cured on which to base an answer.

iourned until two this afternoon.

ter is low in the bitches and canals
it is impregnated with salt and is

The above witnesses also agreed
that the year 1903 was the dryest
for many years.
R. w. Witt was recalled and made
the statement that the water when
low in the bitches was poisonous.
The dryest year was 1903.
F. G. Tracy testified that it re-
quires in Eddy county by measure
made in 1899, 60 feet of water per
acre. There is also he said a large
leakage in the Mcmillan reservoir
A. P. Davis of the Commission re-
called to Mr.. Tracy's attention to a
conversation he had with him about
one and half years ago in regard
to the then proposed construction OF
the Hondo reservoir, and Mr.. Tracy
then expressed himself as favorable
to it. This placed Mr. Tracy in a
tight place and he wiggled.
Mr. Tracy then tried to explain his
delay in filing a protest, and he
found it hard work. He said he had
been criticized as man seldom had
but he was only doing his duty. He
did not know of the Hondo reservoir
being seriously considered until the
publishing of the Rio Hondo Water
Users Association Agreement in the
Roswell Record Before that he had
considered that there was nothing
in it. He had up to that time moth
ing on which to base a protest. The
Commission expressed itself as not
agreeing with Mr. Tracy, and that ii
he had filed his protest before the
be nearly so great as now.
Mr.. Tracy's examination was lot
at all to his liking and he expressed
himself as a much abused man. He
also volunteered the statement that
his people had placed twice as much
in the works owned by them as they
would ever get out of them.
V. l.. Sullivan, the engineer for
the P |. & l. Co., was given a long
examination in regard to the losses
of water i'm %the Mcmillan lake. He
was unable to substantiate his state
ments as to the flow of the Pecos riv-
er. as he admitted that he arrived at
his results simply by a system of av
eraging.
The Commission then adjourned
until $3.50 this morning.

Today Mrs. l. H. Elliott, chairman
OF the Library Committee, received
a letter stating that the funds for
the building of the Carnegie library
in Roswell are now available. The
letter is from Mr.. R. A. Franks who
is Mr. Carnegie's agent in the dis
tribution of his library fund. Mr..
Franks is president of the Hoboken
Trust Company
The letter states that as the peo-
pie of Roswell have complied with
all the conditions the ten thousand
dollars promised them for the buid-
ing OF the library by Mr.. Carnegie
can now be drawn on. The money
will be paid in amounts from $4,000
to $4,000 on the affidavit of the arch
itect in charge showing the required
amount of work performed on the
building.
There is now no reason why the
building should not be commenced
at once and pushed TO completion.
The Woman's Club has long had the
lot. the city has put down cement
sidewalk in front of the lot, and all
conditions have been complied with.
There is nothing to do now but to
accept the plans for the building. be-
gin work. and draw orders for the
money.

The farmers then did not have
enough water, and more was requir
ed for gardening. The capacity of
Lake Mcmillan is $4,000 acre feet
and of Lake Aavlon is 5000. In an
swer to a question from Mr.. A. P.
/. & l. Co. claimed the right to have
their reservoirs full at all times. How
ever. they were unable to keep them
full. as they had to draw on them for
irrigating as the normal flow was not
sufficient He stated that this claim
of the Company meant that they
claimed all the normal flow. the flood
waters they used and those they
could not use. He admitted that this
was not an economical use of the
waters and also thought that it was
rather too much to ask.
This stirred up Mr.. Tracy and ne
cross questioned Mr.. Sullivan with
little result Mr. Sullivan contended
that a large central reservoir was
more economical than a large number
of small ones on the tributaries. He
admitted that this was opposed to
expert opinion. but claimed that To-
cality governed in this.
Mr.. Cameron explained that if the
p. /. & l. Co. could not use the flood
waters fhay would not oppose some
one else doing so. but they could
use them and needed them and for
that reason lodged their protest. He
then READ an affidavit OF L. S. Winn
who stated that in 1897. 1898 and
1899 the Hondo gave more water than
could be tpreserved in the northern
canal and that this went down to
the canals to the south.
Mr.. Tracy made the statement that
the minimum flow OF the Pecos last
