Ao0iii1ioS vi Inc ground Tor the genera
tlon OF power, or the storage of water.
Ihe money thus secured by the
government is to be expended in pro-
tecting the forest area, reforestry, and
preserving the natural cover on which
depends the maintenance of the water
supply of the streams. Ihls pIan bas
been adopted by the Canadian govern
ment, with results which are said to
be eminently satisfactory. So much
Is charged year for horse mower
developed, and with the proceeds the
watershed of the stream is proteeted
against spoilation. The United States
forestry service is convinced that the
time has come when similar reguIa-
tlons should be introduced here. and
the matter is now before the + torestry
Bureau. Some of the irrigation and
electric light and power companies
uf California have entered a protest
against the charge proposed, as we'll
as against the reduction of the term
OF the franchise from nlnety-nine to
forty live years. While the bureau is
pretty firmly fixed in its intention if
will not take final action until all
obJectors have had chance to pre-
sent their side OF the case. The Cali
fornia delegation has arranged with
Forester Pinchot to hear protestants
from California, and they are expect
ed to present their objections shortly.
The development of power through
the utilization of mountain streams
is OF the utmost Importance to Cali
tornia, and that fact is fully recogniz-
ed by the delegation and by Forester
Pinchot. But it is equally important
that the primary source of that power
be preserved, if the benefits to be
derived from the power of mountain
streams are to be extended through q
long period of years.
1t is very gratifying to learn that a
movement has begun, in California to
take advantage of the Denatured
Alcohol act. Already evidences of
activity in that direction are manifest
in Washington. and it is to be hoped
that throughout the state distiIIeries
will be erected. Alcohol can be made
from so many products OF the field,
that facilities for manufacture will be
of great advantage to the farmer, and
A very valuable article added to our
products in California. An effort is
being now made to secure an amend
ment to the law which it Is thought
will facilitate manufacture. 1t Is
that instead of Withdraw ing
pure alcohol from bond for the pur-
pose of LdenaturIzlhg, it will be de-
natured in process, which would un-
1enlably be of advantage to producers.
But as the law specially provides that
,he alcohol shall be placed in bond,
IN amendment to the law will be
necessary. 1t is also proposed that
1istilleries shall be relieved of the
necessity of producing eighty per
'ent of their capacity. Ibis also is
low required by law, and an amend
nent will be necessary. The matter
has been brought to the attention of
he California delegation, and it Is
probable that after the holidays
case viii be made up for presentation,
20 the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue to determine whether such
proposed amendment is practicable.
