In each Of the New England states ex-
cept Rhode Island important and flour
ishing cities have grown up around the
falls. with populations Of from 10000 to
10000 people; such cities as Holyoke,
Lowell and Lawrence. in Massachusetts,;
Bellows Falls, in Vermont; Manchester
and Berlin. in New Hampshire; Bidde-
ford, Lewiston Rumford Falls. Augusta
and Bath. in Maine. Berlin, n. H., and
Rumford Falls, Me, both on the falls OF
the Androscoggin river, are still making
rapid growth through the development OF
the paper and pulp industry.
Upon these water powers New Eng
lands manufactures chiefly depend. They
are the foundation and source Of her
greatest wealth. Without coal and dis
tant from the coal fields, far from the
cotton belt. cheap water power has ena-
bled New England to maintain her indus
trial position against the competition OF
more favored localities. The conservation
or this stream flow Is among the most
important objects in establishing national
forests in this section.
The southern Appalachians are a vastly
larger proposition. affecting greater areas,
more streams and more people. The fu-
ture OF the whole Atlantic seaboard from
Philadelphia to New Orleans depends very
largely upon the care of the forests at
the headwaters OF the great streams that
furnish abundant water power and navi-
cation for this important region.
The geological survey estimates that
there Is 100000 horsepower lying DOR
mant In these streams. This Is sufficient
to supply mills in every one of the south
ern states that would make them outrank

tries. Plants for the generation of eIec-
tricity are Springing up like mushrooms
along these streams. The electricity is
being spread over the country by a net
work of wires and the whole region prom
ises to be revolutionized through its use.
Cotton mills are scattered broadcast.
Young Pittsburgs are being developed in
This water power will one day be one of
the greatest sources Of wealth that the
nation possesses.
There are scores of great rivers coming
out OF the Appalachians. Not a drop of
water falls in those mountains that does
not find its way to the ocean through
navigable streams. There are the Poto-
mac, the James, the Roanoke, the Pee
dee, the Santee, the Savannah and many
others. These are slow-howing streams
for hundreds of miles back from the
coast and many ships may ply upon
transportation offers an additional ad-
vantage to industry developing under the
influence of the plentiful water power.
Eighty per cent of the forests of this
region have been cut over. The fire de-
mon has run rampant through the woods
and destroyed good and bad alike. The
soil is light and easily eroded when the
timber is gone from the slopes. A hill
side farm soon becomes but a series OF
gullies that must be abandoned. 1t is
estimated that a hundred square miles OF
good farm land is lost through erosion in

cided to take under its wing and develop
the White mountain section is nearest
the most people. The mountains Of New
Hampshire are natural forests. The soil
is shallow, and the shallow roofing habit
Of the spruce gives it an advantage over
most timber. This is the ideal home OF
the spruce Once the whole region was
overspread by q magnificent growth, but
now there are few sections that have not
felt the ak. Forest fires fed by the dry
branches left on the ground have run
through great sections Hillsif1es left ma

Two-thirds of the spruce cut goes into
the manufacture of paper of the variety
used in printing the news. This region is
most important in this respect.
On the lower slopes of the White noun
tains are grea forests of NAPLES and
birches These hardwoods flourish in the
deeper soils lower down. They are SO far
from railroad transportation that they
have not been cut to any great extent.
They constitute great storehouSe OF

Fifteen years ago there began to be

No water is retained at the higher lev

result. even on the plains the water level
is too far beneath the surface to be

the rains are made to wash the soil into

SUFFRAGETTE PLOT TO
SPOIL ENGLISH CENSUS
Special Correspondence OF The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. March 2S. 1911.
A NY ONE who thinks that because
~ the British suffragettes have been
keeping quiet for a few months
they have abandoned militant methods is
gravely mistaken. They are preparing
now for the biggest coup Of their career
no less an enterprise than spelling the
census. which is to be taken April ..
Their plan is to refuse all information
about themselves to the enumerators and
thus render useless for statistical pur-
poses the figures collected. They have
distributed broadcast a leafiet which runs
as follows:
IF women do not count why should
they be counted!
boycott the census as a protest against
exclusion of the rights of citizenship.
Every woman is urged to refuse to fulfill
it's duties and to withhold all information
from the census enumerators April q"
Mrs Despard, the leader Of the Wom-
ems Freedom League. one Of the two
great suffragette organizations. gave
some particulars in an interview at the
offices Of the league. just of the Strand.
Mrs. Despard is the sister Of Gen. French,
the famous soldier. and is also a very mill
tant person herself She has been i'm
prisoned many times for leading suf-
fragette raids and has been the center of
numerous riots She is a very old lady
now, with snow-white hair. and though
she is still engaged in strenuous propa-
ganda, she looks frail and wan.
"Oh. you want to know about the GEN.
sus affair."" she said. That's very easy.
Just come across to this corner and I'll
tell you about 1t while I'm waiting for
my committee meeting to commence.
This action of ours over the census is
just the logical continuance Of our policy
of hampering as far as possible the gov
eminent which will not grant US the
franchise. OF course We have nothing
against the census as a census. and as a
matter of fact, many of us wish we
didn't have to hamper the officials in col
lecting particulars, but 1t is an expedient
method of protest. and We use 1t as such.
AS long as we have not the privileges of
citizens We refuse to perform the citizens
duty. We know we shall be fined and i'm
prisoned for refusing to I'LL in the forms,
