Protection Against AvaIanches.

Anyone who has Travelled up Big Cotton
wood canyon or for that matter any can
yon in the rugged portions of the Rocky
mountains, has observed the work of the
snowslides. These are started by the
l~OOSening OF the immense snOwdriftS
which form on the leeward side of the
high ridges. They start suddenly without
warning and besides the damage they do
in blocking roads and railroads. and in
destroying timber. they are a menace to
life in a great many mining regions. In
the state of Colorado it is safe to say
that 200 persons have lost their lives by
Snowslides during the last twenty-five
years. Their prevention is in many cases
wholly impracticable. although in the
Alps, the French, Italian and Swiss gov
ernmentS have by the construction of
costly works been able to control some
of the most dangerous. When they form
below timber line. however. they can be
controlled either by planting forests to
the leeward of the ridges to hold the
drifts from sliding down the slope. or on
the to prevent the formation OF
the drift. A great many of the existing
slides are due entirely to the destruction
of timber through fire or numbering OPP

fall. For instance. the rainfall near the
Great Lakes is not materially greater
than in regions several hundred miles dis
tant: and while on the Pacific coast. the
Puget Sound region has a rainfall of
about 100 inches. southern California has
only twenty inches. Reasons for these
differences can be advanced. but the fact
that stronger agencies than local
variations in temperature and humidity

water sinks into the ground in forested
land than in the open.
Altogether then, after deducting the
amount intercepted in the crowns of the
trees. the soil in forests receives and holds
Tor the use of vegetation or for feeding

proportion of the total precipitation than
does the soil of the open countries.

about 40 per cent less than in the open.
While the amount of difference varies
with the kind of forest and the species
of field crops. il has been proven that
even a dense forest absorbs less moisture
from the soil for plant growth than any
of the field crops.
1t is also estimated that in regions

Protection of the Soil.

In mi regions which are subject
to heavy ~rainfalls the beneficial effects
of a forest cover in preventing erosion
cannot be questioned. Anyone who is ac-
quainted with the Appalachian mountins
of the east or the mountain ranges of
southern Colorado. New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, has observed the scored hillsides
from which the timber has been cleared
or the vegetation removed by overgraZing,
and noticed the deep gullies or aroyas
which have been formed since the settle
ment of the country. This subject again
is one which is dependent or local cOndi-
lions and an attempt to lay down precise
laws III regard to the effect of forest pro-
lection or grazing. would be futile. l
would like to say here that in my opinion
the irrigation interests are making many
claims as to the effect of grazing on the
summer flow of water which are not
wholly sustained by the facts. OF the bad
effects of over grazing there can be no
question. but l believe very strongly that
most of the mountain ranges of the west
which constitute the sources of the water
supply for irrigation, can be grazed by
both cattle and sheep in such a way that
the water supply will not be materially
affected. In other words, the increase
in the supply of water which would result
from the prohibition of grazing, would be
so slight that it would not offset the loss
to the state of the destruction of the live
stock industry.
The question is of such great import
ance to the western states that no action
should be taken in any locality until after
the most careful and convincing investi-
cation.

Hygienic Effect of Forests.

Forests are of course an important
agency in the production of oxygen OBJ
tanned from the decomposition of carbon
diOXide- Direct observations have also
shown that forest air contains from , to
4 per cent more ozone than air in the
open countries or in cities.
Owing to the absence of strong air cur
rents the air in forests is also freer from
dust, smoke and injurious gases han the
air in open regions.
