TREAT STREAMS
AT THEIR SOURCE
Competent Engineers Claim This
Is the Way to End Floods
GREAT AID TO NAVIGATION

Many competent engineers believe
that the treating of food waters at
their source is the proper method of
attacking the river regulation prob
lem. 1t is argued that the con
struction and operation of storage
reservoirs at the headwaters OF
streams in Pennsylvania would put
an end to floods and at the same
time assist in making navigation pos.
sible the year round, besides greatly
increasing the low water flow for
domestic and manufacturing pur-
poses
The investigation into this subject
engaged in at Pittsburgh and the
plan evolved for treating flood waters
in that district, it is believed, are APP
plicable to every section of Pennsyl-
vania having flood and low water
troubles.
AS many other local communities
have done, Pittsburgh started its
flood Investigations with the thought
of relieving that city alone. 1t was
found that for a comparatively small
amount of money Pittsburgh could
be protected from ordinary floods,
but it was decided that the question
was a broader one than mere pro
lection of one locality and that the
essential part of any effort toward
improvement was flood prevention.
The construction of storage reser
voirs was suggested and it was
found after the most careful Of sur
the headwaters of the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers, the two first
tributaries to the Ohio, which had
combined capacity sufficient to
greatly reduce the highest flood
Pittsburgh has ever experienced
that these reservoirs would greatly
relieve low water conditions in the
three rivers, through the release of
the stored waters during periods of
drought and that this would provide
the river with a better flow at all
times for sanitary and manufacturing
purposes.
After making these discoveries the
Pittsburgh investigators abandoned
their idea of mere food protection
and have since been bending their
efforts toward flood prevention. AS
the cost of flood prevention is far
in excess Of food protection and

since the former method would bene-
fit many other communities other than
Pittsburgh, it Is not to be expected
that that city should entirely finance
the work. AS other local communi-
ties as well as the state and nation
have an interest in such work 1t is
proposed that all these agencies join
with Pittsburgh in providing the
funds required
So the next legislature is to be
urged to take action in this matter
which will lead to governmental aid
and it is the intention to ask that
the legislature examine into other
projects as well as that at Pittsburgh
before taxing any definite steps.

the tributaries of the principal
stream.
Until recent years the methods
of flood control employed in foreign
countries was to construct walls and
bikes and deepen the channels, etc,
but the principal countries of Europe
have now adopted the storage reser-
voir plan. Great reservoirs have been
located at the headwaters of rivers
in Russia. Germany has adopted the
reservoir plan for the control of floods
on the Wupper river, the Ruhr, the
Rur, the Neckar, the Weiseritz, the
Weser and others. Austria uses stor-
age reservoirs on tributaries of the
Oder and the Elbe France and Spain
also have adopted to some extent the
reservoir plan of controlling floods"

most dramatic features Of this cam
paign is the unexpected independence
of the progressive leaders-unexpect
ed by Mr.. Perkins and Colonel Roose-
welt. l should say that 25 per cent of
the progressives of 1912 were demo-
Gratis. These men could not forget or
forgive the attempt of Mr.. Perkins and
others to deliver the entire party to
the republican party.
We are going to keep the progress
siye party alive, and after the election
it will continue to be, as it was form
ed to be, an independent party, whose
principles are different from those of
both the old parties. In all those
states where the law provides for it

larger percentage of the total progress
