The statement is constantly met that
forests are very efficacious in the pro
lection Of river banks from undermin-
Ing and steep slopes from sliding. The
exact reverse is the case, says the En-
gineer. AS every river engineer knows,
nothing is more disastrous to a river
bank on an alluvial stream than heavy
trees This is due partly to the great
weight, but in large part to the sway
ing effect Of the wind and the enor-
nous leverage Of the long trunks, which
pry up the ground and facilitate the
tendency to undermining. One Of the
regular policies of river control is to
cut down these trees for a distance
back from the edge Of the bank wher-
ever complications with private owner
ship do not prevent. Snags and DRIFT
wood in the channels have always been
among the most serious obstacles to
navigation on streams flowing between
forest-covered banks Likewise where
railway or highway grading cuts the
skin Of unstable mountain slopes, the
presence of large trees Immediately
above tends powerfully to loosen the
ground and cause 1t to slide; and in
such cases it Is necessary to cut down
the timber.

AT the same time, both Senator
Elkins and myself have been closely

Cannon in the House. Whatever may
be the sentiment toward these gentle
