great many are located within the
national forests, and nearly all are de-
pendent upon the watersheds within
The national forests. 1t is the policy
Of the department of agriculture to
grant permits for the use and develop
ment OF this water power. and District
Forester Dubois states permits for the
construction of plants which will de-
velop more than 10000 horsepower
We're approved by the department dur
ing the past II months.
Permits also have been granted for
more than 160 miles of electric trans
mission lines, to be used in connection
with the transmission and distribution
Of power. One of the fundamental rea-
sons for the establishment and main
tenance of the forest service is the
protection Of the watersheds within
their boundaries. This point is kept
always III view in national forest ad-
mlnlStration and large amounts are eX-
pended by the government every sum-
Iner To prevent and eXtinguiSh forest
fires. This is done even on the brush
covered areas in Southern California,
Which at the present time have little
timber of value, because these areas
are the watersheds from which water
Is obtained for irrigation, for develop
ing power. and for municipal purposes
II Is certain that manufacturing must
center at points where cheap power
can be obtained, and the only per-
mancnt sources of cheapest power are
the running streams from which power
Is developed electrically.

Trim to the Moon

PARIS, March IA stir was
caused by a paper read this week be-
fore the members of The French Phys
zeal society by Robert Esnault Pelterie,
the brilliant young engineer. on how
10 get from The earth to the moon in
- hours.
NJ. Pclierie insists his idea is prac-
licahle. based on scientific calculation,
and not reminiscent of jules Verne ;
romance.
The vehicle for the first travellers
to the moon will be. he says. a closed
vessel Of extreme lightncso provided
with motor Of great power. com
hinaiion which The astonishing advances
of locumolinn during the last hundred
years brings well into sl=ht.
Since there is no atmosphere IN The
space between our planet and the moon.
no system of prOpcllcrS would be OF
any use. and the only possible means
of driving the vehicle forward would be
an adaptation of the rocket principle.
which he says works as we'll in vac
uum aS in air.
The motor then would work a kind
Of continuous rocket and Mr.. Pellerl1
has made calculations Of just how
much power the engine must have 70
carry the vehicle along the 24O,OOO odd
miles between the earth and ITS sat
elite.
For a vehicle weighing a ton the
motor would have to be of 4lI 900
horsepower. For added weights the
horsepower must he prOpOrti0nately in
creased.
When this combination is realized
the Journey would be divided into three
parts. The first would be to drive the
vehicle with increasing speed until the
sphere Of the earth's attraction was
passed. During the second the vehicle
would continue its journey by inertia
until it reached the point where the
moons attraction began. while the third
would be the simple matter of dropping
on to the lattcr'S surface, no motive
force being necessary.
The first Of these phases. according
to The lecturer, would last "a minutes
9 seconds; the second phase, 4S hours
80 minutes; the third, 3 minutes as
seconds. giving a total Of 49 hours,
II minutes, 55 seconds
During the first 1000 miles he says
the passengers would have the SEN
sation of weighing one-tenth more than
usual, bat afterward they would cease
to weigh at all and have the sensa-
ton of falling indefinitely into space.
To remedy the bad physical effects
which might result from these phe-
nomena special appliances. says Cap
tain Peltere. might be installed.

c.. C. Butler, hearing the second trial
of Harold F. HenwOod. who Is charged
with the murder of Geo. Z. Copeland,

representing both the state and the de
fence. Judge Butler had suffered what
he called "bulldozing' methods of eX-
animation and cross examination of wit
nesses for DAYS ana this morning he
dismissed the jury from the court room
and rebuked the attorneys.
Word had come to the Judge that GER
tain witnesses, said to have been in
valuable to the defence. had been driven
from town by some anonymous threats.
The Judge declared that if any attorney
connected with the case was furthering
such a practice it must be stopped. He
warned the attorneys to discontinue eX-
animation of witnesses in a loud voice,
and ordered them to stop waving" their
arms in the air during the examination.
The defence today spent its efforts in
an attempt to prove that HenwOOd was
acting in self defence when he fired the
shots which killed Sylvester L. Won Phul
and Copeland a bystander, following an
attempt on Henwood's part to recover
letters which Mrs. John ". Springer. q
