FORESTS
Are to Assure Water Supply
at Some Points of This
Country.

+
WASHINGTON, ID &C., May 90
Secretary Houston has just approved
and agreement between the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the town OF
Stafford, Ariz., by which the Forest
Service and the town will cooperate
to conserve SaRord's water supply,
which comes principally from the
Cook National Forest.
This is the latest one of many such
agreements. According to the fig-
ures of the Forest Service there are
NEARLY 1900 cities and towns in the
West which derive their water sup
ply from lands within the national
forests. Where these cities desire it
the government joins hands with the
citizens for the purpose of maintain
ing q permanent and pure water
supply.
Stock raising, for example, tor any
other occupancy of the land. which
ordinarily would be encouraged,
would be inadvisable on watershed
which forms a source of drinking
water. The Forest Service recognizes
that water-is as necessary commo-
| dity for wooded hillsides to supply
as are saw-logs or mine props.
watershed area may offer an oppor-
itunity to furnish the greatest benefit
to the largest number through sup
plying an unpolluted source of water
for domestic purposes:
Contracts like that just made with
Stafford are now in force with Cas-
cade, Colorado Springs, Durango
and Manitou in Colorado; Salt Lake
in Utah; and Baker City and The
Dailes, ore. The famous Budd Run
water shed, which supplies Portland,
lore, is on the Oregon National For
est.
The cooperative agreement in
leach case provides that the land may
not be used without approval blythe
town, except for the protection and
care of the forests. The government
agrees to extend and improve the
forests lby seeding, planting and for
est mana cement, so far as the funds
for that purpose are available. The
city, for its part, assists by paying
the salaries of the additional guards
necessary to carry out the agree
lnlent, and contracts to bear the
greater part of the cost of any inn
lprovemcnt work which it considers
i imm ediately desirable.
