PROTECTING NATURAL BEAUTY
Colorado Courts Decision a Preceden.
For the East.


A recent decision OF Colorado
court ough. TO have a far-reaching in
iuence for tbs protection of scenic
beauties from DETACHMENT, If ii shall
become a precedent In other states.
Cascade is a summer Eecort near
the base of the north slope of Pike
Peak. As IN name indicates. water
falls form a large part of its attrsc
tiveness. Recently a water power
company diverted tbe stream which
forms he cascades TO run a power sta
ton. The court has issued a perma
nent Injunction against this diversion
on the ground that in creating scenic
beauty the water is already being put
to beneficial Use within the meaning
CT the law, and SO is not subject to
condemnation proceedings.
What would have happened if We
had had such law in this state when
Niagara was tapped for electric pow
Ter? Will the recognition of the com
mercial value of scenic beauty go far
enough to induce courts TO prevent OF
TO punish its destruction for purposes
of advertisement? II you cannot de
stroy natural beauty to turn IL into
power. why should you be permitted
to destroy it for the purposes of adj
vertisemen;? The common sense OF
