DEFEAT OF REFORM
MOST SIGNIFICANT
PROHIBITION LEAusa POINTS TO
IMPORTANT FEATURE OF
TUESDAYS ELECTION,

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Chairman Jones
of the national prohibition committee
said
1.-THE most important feature OF
Tuesd ays elections was not the ser
les of anti-license victories in Illinois
and elsewhere. but the startling de
feat OF the reform forces in Buffalo,
Cincinnati, San Francisco and other
large cities. In almost every case
there was evident a strong public
sentiment for the election Of clean
men, but the liquor interests ana
their allied forces OF graft and vice.
put on guard by the rising sentiment
against them, have been strengthen.
ing their already compact poiiicai
power and through one or the other
OF the dominant political organtza
tons. have easily won q temporary
reprleye from the doom marked for
them by public opinion.
The triumph OF the liquor forces OF
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Louisville
and San Francisco proves undeniably
that the only way to break the grip
Of the corrupt elements dpon Public
affairs is by the union of all the
forces Of good citizenship in perma-
nent political organization.

so FAR DEVELOPED.

Washington, Nov. A.-The increase
of floods on rivers in the United
States, as shown by NJ. o. Leighton, in
a geological report, is attributed
chiefly to the destruction OF forests.
The estimated annual damage OF
floods in this country has increased
progressively from $45 100000 in
1900 to s237, 100000 in 1908
Out of about $1,000, 900 horsepower
available at the minimum flow of
streams but little more than 5000 600
has been developed, or about one
seventh of the minimum available
power. A fairly complete census of
developed water powers has been
obtained, but the undeyeloped powers
are determinable only by estimate.
The state Of New York has the Iarg-
est development, with sS5,Se2 horse
power. California standing next. with
466,77s horsepower. The section of
the country furnishing the greatest
possibilities of water power develop
ment is the northern Pacific region.
including the basins of Columbia and
Sacramento rivers.
Recent discussions Of water powers

the United States lend Importance to

Mr.. Gannett discusses the dlstri.
button and amount of rainfall and
presents two maps, showing the mean
annual rainfall I'm all parts of the
United States, the other showing, the
percentage of annual precipitation In
the six warmer months, April to Sep
TENDER, inclusive.
Mr. Newell's paper ON irrigation
shows an increase In acreage of land
irrigated from 1851 ,3SI acres in 1889
to about 100000 acres In 1907, and
fixes the limit of the !rrigable area in
the arid region at about 100000
acres. or more than four times the
area now irrigated. The projects now
under way will serve about 100000
acres. Mr. Newell's proposed water
code and his sketch Of the water laws
now In force should be Of general IN
terest.

ground waters discusses the uses and
waste OF ground waters, their return
to stream flow, and their conservation.
The paper on denudation, by
Messrs. Dole and Stabler, shows that
7S3,000.000 tons OF earth and rock.
measured as soil. are removed every
year from the surface Of the United
States. About 220 tons per square
mile of the area drained by streams
emptying into the Atlantic ocean Is
annually swept away from the soil in
