ONE RAIL WAY LINE
ACROSS NAT|0.
ROCKEFELLER PLANS LINKING
TOGETHER EXISTING ROUTES
INTO ONE LINE.
Unless New Railroad Law Render,
Such Combination Impossible, Album.
dant Capital Will be Placed
Behind Single Trunk Line.

Neutrality-suspicious. has reached
Washington that if the Esch-C ummins
railroad bill does not stand in the way,
John d. Rockefeller and affiliated cap
ita1ists will soon launch plan for
linking together existing railroads into
a single transcontinental system to ex-
tend from both New York and Balti-
more to San Francisco by way Of
Ogden, Utah.
The plan in contemplation is similar
to scheme once proposed but never
cOnsummated by E. H. Hartman. In
brief, it is proposed to link into one
transcontinental system portion OF
the Pennsylvania lines and the New
York Central with Rock Island, Union
Pacific and Central Pacific In such a
way as to connect New York and Bal
timore with Pittsburg. Cleveland. Chi
cagO, Omaha, Ogden and San Fran
cisco.
Rockefeller interests, after survey
ing the situation, are reported to have
concluded thai upon the return OF, the
railroads to their owners March
many of the trunk line roads will find
themselves hard pressed financially.
BY throwing an abundance of capital
back of single trunk line system
across the entire continent the Rookie
Teller interests feel that adequate and
reliable transportation from coast to
coast can be maintained over that one
system, regardless Of what happens to
weaker and competing roads.
Rockefeller is reported to have gone
far enough with negotiations to be as
sured of adequate backing Cor his en-
terprise, and, unless the new railroad
law renders such combination of
railroads impossible, this consolida-
ton would be permissible under the
terms of the Panama canal act, which
specifically permits the combinations
of lines which are extensions OF each
other and which are not in competi-
ton.
A single transcontinental system
such as Rockefeller contemplates
would be tapped at various points by
roads traversng the intermountain
states, it is understood. There is now
under consideration no proposal to
have more than the one outlet on the
Pacific coast.

Allen Was One
of Last to Leave

Lieut.. w. B. Allen, who went to
rance in January, 1918, as an Of
ficer in the 41st division, was one of
the last of the American soldiers to
leave France. After the armistice
he was selected as an M p. officer
and placed on duty in various parts
of France while the homeward ship
ment of troops went forward.
Mr.. Allen was, transferred out of
the 41st into the 28th division which
he considers one of the finest units
over there, altho he was sorry to be
separated from the western division.
With the 28th he saw action at the
front and served as instructor in ma
chine gun operation.

BRINGING ON THE
NEXT GREAT FLOOD
Scientists Know the
Land and Water
Change Places
INFLUENCES WORK

biologists say that the land on
this earth has six times worn down
so far that shift in weight on the
planet crust caused new eruptions
and changed the entire map of the
world. 1t is wearing down now.
Gradually and peacefully the mighty
rivers and the small rivers carry on
their sediment to the sea. 1t amounts
to a great deal in year. Two Of
our coasts are shifting all of the
time now. A part of the Atlantic
coast is going down and a part Of
the Pacific coast is going up, but only
by watching for years can the diff
ference be seen. Biologists say this
is due to the immense deposits Of
sediment brought down by the swift
American rivers. The Colorado
river, emptying into the Gulf Of
California has probably cut the
whole OF its wonderful canyon in a
few thousand years, which length of
time. speaking geologically, is a
mere nothing. All of that weight of
rock has settled on the ocean bed
near the California coast and exer-
cises the same effect that thumb
pressed into a soft rubber ball would.
Some other place must come up to
compensate the downward pressure
Effects of Erosion
At least IS per cent and probably
considerable more of the water used
for irrigating the 100000 acres Of
western lands has it's origin in the
mountains of the National forests.
The intimate relation that exists be-
tween the National forests and sus-
tanned streamfiow for irrigation is
therefore readily appreciated.
In any mountainous region where
the Stops are steep and the precipita-
ton heavy floods are liable to occur.
Frequent serious floods and erosion,
however, are invariably associated
with steep, poorly vegetated or de-
nuded water sheds. A we'll vegetated
area, with it's abundance of leaves
and branches prevents the rain from
beating directly upon the soil, firmly
binds the surface soil layer by the
mass of ramifying plant roots, and
renee tends greatly to minimize
erosion.
In 1914 two comparable areas,
each embracing ten acres, were To-
Gated at an elevation of 10000 feet
on the Manti forest, Utah, for the
purpose of determining the effect of
varying intensities of grazing on
erison and streamnow. 1t is hard to
believe that so much as carload,
or approximately $4,000 pounds of
air dry material. as compared with
deposited from a ten acre area from
a single storm. Nevertheless, water
and sediment of from 10000 to So
900 pounds have been deposited
several times from single storm
between 1914 and 1919.
What is the effect on forage pro-
duction when the upper few inches
of black mealy soil is carried off?
The experiment showed, among
other things, that wheat plants
grown in poor or eroded soil pro-
duced five and one-half pounds of
al rdry material as compared with
twelve pounds on non-eroded or good
soil of the same general type. 1t is
also significant that much more
water was required to produce the
five and one-half pounds of growth
on the poor soil than the twelfth
pounds of air dry matter on the
good soil.
The effect of serious floods and

erosion may be summed up as fol-
lows: ID The water holding capac-
ity of the soil is greatly decreased
and hence crop production is much
lowered. CD The plants that eroded
lands will support are inferior for
grazing, poison plants being COM
mon, CD it is not possible to make
good use of water for irrigation
when it gushes down in torrents, (4)
the cost of maintaining the irrigation
canals is very high, and 90 the
destruction of personal and public
property is often serious.
One of the first steps to prevent
serious erosion is to revegetate and
then maintain the forest lands to
the greatest possible extent. This
can best be accomplished by apply
ing the deferred and rotation graz
ing system.

''Clean Pigs" This

The Best Years
of a Woman's Life

The best years of a woman's life
today are from forty to sixty and my
pen hesitates as | writ sixty. Such
women as Sarah Bernhard, who has
risen above years and mutilation and
suffering, and continues to conquer
the world with her genius, ana
Amelia Barr, who, well over eight,
turns out a new novel every year or
so, might very convincingly quote
Browning's lines:
Grow old along with me,
The best is yet to be-
Why are the years between forty
and sixty the best in a womans life,
and what is it that middle age can
offer that you have not? And what
is the prime of life? Is it not that
period when, physically sound, one
is capable of the greatest mental
activity? And between forty and
sixty are the years of woman's
prime. If she has lived wisely and
kept that saving grace, her pride in
her personal appearance, call 1t
vanity if you will she should be as
attractive, in different way, as she
was in her first youth.
Many woman who was shy
nonentity, in her girlhood, a pathetic
example of the wallflower, has bios
somed into beauty and charm in her
later years. She has had time to be-
come acquainted with herself, and
with life. She is past the tremulous
uncertainties of springtime, the
cyclones OF emotion, the cruel doubts
and discouragements of youth. She
may have her moments of reverie;
not as she is usually portrayed In
fiction, engaged in mournful medita-
tions on the first gray hair or lean
ing forward to gaze in the mirror
and trace, with sinking heart, the
coming lines about the mouth; but
reverie in which she looks back at
the girl she once was and rejoices
in her ecstacies and longs to gather
her into her arms and comfort her
in her woes.-Mrs. Wilson Woodrow
