LOSE WATER WITH FOREST
Wallace Water Supply Reduced by
Burning Of Watershed.

Residents Of Wallace, Idaho, now
claim that results of the disastrous
forest fires 10 northern Idaho Ia 1910
are being made evident IN the changed
dow from q watershed then burned
over, which furnishes the water
supply Of the city. This basin In.
cluded an area of approximately two
thousand acres and was formerly we'll
timbered with trees from so to 200
years old. These we're almost wholly
destroyed by the fres of 1910. From
this watershed the city gets its supply
not only for domestic purposes, but
also for the development Of electricity
for power and light, so that the
maintenance OF a considerable flow Is
essential to the city.
It is stated that before the 6res
the How Of the stream at its lowest
stages was never below 1000 miners
inches, the unit Of measurement
which has been used. But since the
6re, the records show that the mini.
mum flow has fallen to ABOUT 250
miners inches aud 1t is now necessary
for the company which furnishes
water, light and power to expend 8
considerable amount of money each
year 10 developing power from steau
and to use considerable part of thi.
power in pumping water. Records
of the weai her bureau at Wallac,
show that the precipitation for The
years since tae 6re has been aboul
normal for the region. This seems
to demonstrate to the tOwnspeoplt
that the unevenness 10 the flow mus
be due to the destruction OF the fores
cover of the watershed and not to an,
change 10 climate or precipitation.
In view of the situation, the fores
service has undertaken to reforest th'
denuded watershed. Some plantin,
has already been done and eventual.
ali OF the watershed which Is included
within the national forest b0uDdarie
is to he reforested. The people 0

interest in the work and expires

sorts OF sentiment, yet those who
allowed themselves to be carried Ia,
a1eld, threaten to balk at the ratifi-
cation of the treaty with Colombia,
carrying with II reimbursement tc
the tune Of s25, 900, 900. A part OF
congress is very sure that we should
make the "amende honorable" to
Colombia. and send along q draft on
the United States treasury. while the
opposite viewpoint is that Uncle Sam
Is being blackmailed. 1t is plain
that there is going to be beautiful
racket before this treaty comes out OF
the senate OF the United States.
Following the enactment OF the
new tariff bill considerable attention
Is attracted to the importations OF
beef and corn from Argentina.
Statisticians have figured out that
the total imports OF beef have been
only three and one half per cent Of
that OF the supply 10 our own coun.
try. The corn shipments were even
less when figured in connection with
the whole supply. Therefore It has
been made clear that the United
States farmers are still holding their
own, and that Argentina is not a
real competitor.

Eetlm0ce For Year.
AT their regular meeting Mon

started sinking fund for the
payment of the $Ia,5oo water
bonds Of 1906. The amount set
aside in the annual estimate for
that purpose is $1,000 for the

ing the bonds after 1916.
The annual estimate made for
all village purposes for the present
fiscal year contemplates the ex.
penditure Of $4o45. OF this sum
$4,000 is to come from water rents.
An 8 mill levy on valuation OF
$27o, 900 is expected to raise
$2I6o more by direct taxation and
the balance is to come from mis-
/ cellaneous sources. The notice OF
the annual estimate is published

CHURCH NEEDS FIGHTERS.
Sermon BY Rev. Frank Winter
Last Sunday.

Rev. Frank Winter, Congrega !.
tionalist, preached vigorous
sermon on militant Christianity at
the Presbyterian church last Sun
day morning, His subject was
Zone war, but many battles" He
said the one war was for God and
righteousness against the evil one
and that the many battles Of that
war are those against heathenism,
dishonesty, political graft, the
saloon, intemperance, vice, etc.
He said the church needed soldiers,
young men and women with the
martial spirit and iron in their
blood, to wage the contest for good
and the right. The church that
puts up fight is the one that lives
and grows, he declared, and it is
the same with people: those who
know how and make the best fight
are the ones that win in any calling.
Life is antagonism; every act for
good is antagonistic 70 some evil;
every move to put forth an issue
is in opposition 10 some other
issue; gardens are grown by
antagonizing the weeds; everything
in life is a struggle for existence
and supremacy.
Mr.. Winter said Christianity is
winning. The flrst victory, he
said, was the recognition Of one
God through all the civilized world
and the disappearance OF polytbe-
ism, and the second victory was
the universal exalting Of all things
good above all things bad. The
next victory to be won, he said, is
to obtain the complete overthrow
of evil.
-Four main things, said Mr..
Winter, are essential Tor the Chris
tian: first, complete surrender and
. obedience 10 God; second, love
, and service OF ones fellows; third,
the destruction OF the works Of the
cvil-one; fourtl, to build up that
which is good and righteous. He
pointed out very clearly that It is
not sufficient for the church man
or woman only to profess belief in
/ God, attend church, and take part
| in the church work, but they must
be honest in their business deal
ings, and live good lives.
In closing his sermon. Mr..
Winter described David's combat
with Goliath, and SAID the world
needs more young men like David,
who was not afraid to do battle for
the right.
