A Theory and a Fact.

The late Senator Frye attributed his
robust health to correct habits and
fondnass for sport and the world out
doors. Two months each year he en-
joyed at his camp by the Rangeley
lakes the keen delights of the rod and
gun. If there was one achievement
Of his life Of which he was inclined to
boast it was that of having caught the
largest square tailed trout ever taken
with a fly. But some time ago 'at a
dinner this boast was challenged by
no less an authority than Professor
Agassiz. That great naturalist assert
ed that the Maine senator was in er-
ror, for it was scientific fact that no
true trout ever attained the weight
mentioned-seven pounds. The follow
ing season the senator was fortunate
enough to catch an eight pound speci-
men of the same species, which he
packed in ice and sent to Professor
Agassiz. The professor acknowledged
his defeat in the following laconic line:
THE theory of lifetime kicked to
death by fact!'' That" commented
Senator Frye, 'is the only case l have
ever heard of in which theorist ever
paid the slightest attention to a Stub
born fact"-BOston Transcript.

of the Survey, which is a progress re-
port of river flow measurements in
this basin for the year 1909. In this
report are recorded observations at
179 stations, covering Grand River and
tributaries in Colorado; Green River
and tributaries in Utah, Colorado, and
Wyoming; the San Juan basin in
northwestern New Mexico; the Little
Colorado River basin in Colorado; the
Gila River basin in Arizona: and
finally the discharge near the mouth of
the main stream at Yuma, Ariz. These
records are not only of local value for
guiding economic development, but
they have an international significance
in connectios~wtih the difficulties that
have been encountered in the control
of the Colorado near its mouth in
Mexican territory. The escape of the
river from its regular channel and
it's diversion into the Salton Sea are
matters OF recent history, and the con-
sequences of a div version of this kind.
which promised to inundate some OF
the most fertile country ia southern
California, have been discussed in the
public press.
The control of the Colorado for the
prevention of further outbreaks must
involve thorough knowledge OF the
tributary flow, even in the high re-
gions of its headwaters, in Colorado,
and the ultimate steps taken TO pre-
vent disastrous inundation will in all
probability involve the control of these
upland tributaries.
The size of Colorado River is indi-
Gated by its total discharge in the year
1909, which was 26,000,000 acre-feft
or enough water 10 cover that number
of acres to a depth of I foot. Such an
amount of water, if poured upon Man
haitian Borough Of the City of New
York and confined by retaining walls,
would bury the city 1857 feet deep, or
it would make q lake &C feet deep over
the state of Delaware

COLORADO RIVER BASIN
Of ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE

There is no mere interesting river
i'm the world than the Colorado. In
dustrially, scenically and geologically
il presents more diverse conditions
than any other stream in the United
States. From the crest of the Rocky
Mountains in Colorado and Wyoming
.. sweeps across the intervening coun
try, traversing parts of Utah, New
Mexico, Arizona and Nevada, to the
head of the Gulf of California, the
area drained being about 100000
square miles. In the Rocky Mountain
region it flows through country COW
cred by eternal SHOWS and waters
some of the most fertile and valuable
western Colorado, northwestern New
Mexico, and eastern Utah. 1t ira
verses the famous Grand Canyon of
the Colorado in the northern part of
Arizona and finally passes over the
broad, fiat plains above the head of
the Gulf of California. In this lower
most portion the river strongly re-
sembles the Nile, having annual floods
which distribute silt over the adjoin-
ing lands and render them as fertile as
those in the historic valley of North
Africa. The Colorado and its tribu-
taries have other values than that OF
irrigation, for, descending in steep
channels, they present abundant op-
portunities for the development OF
water power. Power has been de-
veloped at a few points, but the re-
sources of the Colorado basin are in
this respect yet practically untouched.
In a basin so literally provided with
natural resources it is a fundamental
necessity, in planning for the utiliza-
ton of the river, to ascertain the
amount of water available in the main
stream and its principal tributaries,
so that future developments, as we'll
as those now under construction, can
be suitably designed in type and ca
pacity For long period of years the
United States Geological Survey has
been making observations and meas
urements at many important points in
lne Colorado basin, and the latest pub
4.sned information on the subject is
contained in Water-Supply Paper 269

a Great Spectacle.

'In the Andes, half a thousand feet
higher than Pixies peak, is to be found
the Peruvian Garden of the Gods, ad
mired by every traveller fortunate
enough to visit it" writes William V.
Afford, F. +. G. s, in the Century.
1T is locally called the Rock forest,
though in no sense of the word is it a
forest. 1t simply resembles one when
viewed at distance of ten miles.
The traveller may be forgiven the er-
ror of thinking it forest as he sees
it for the first time and forgets that
