PROBLEMS IN WATERSHED

Forest Service Conclusions
on the 1913 Flood

fIne major cause Of the flood
was no doubt the occurrence of a
combination OF extraordinary met
sociological conditions operation over
most Of the basin. Prolonged heavy
fall rains, abnormal snow accumu-
lation, late spring rains and snow,
and a delayed snow melt followed
by r1seasonably high temperatures

''This weather combination over
Swallowed or by comparison made

small on the Columbia River flood
The condition of the forest lands
however, did effect Importantly the
magnitude of the headwater floods
and the damages they did locally.
It made differences in the amount
of erosion, particularly channel
cutting, produced by run-of from
various tributary watersheds.
Fire was by all odds the most
important agent in modifying the
watershed conditions. Large areas of
the forest lands have been burned,
some two or more times, and al
though recovery has occurred on
many of these burns, the effects of
fire on snow accumulations, time
of snow melt, and peaks of dis
charge were marked. This was
especially true in the high ridge
and subalpine portions of the water
sheds where fire damage was most
severe and evident, and where the
retardation of snow melt in the I'M
burned forest was very striking.
The retention of a snow cover
in the timber of the subalpine areas
and its absence on the burns made
1t obvious that had the devasted
areas been forest-covered, consid-
cradle water would have been held
back until after the flood peak had
passed. These marked effects of
fire emphasize the necessity of i'm
proving and maintaining fire. pro-
lection and control. They suggest
that in the higher areas a standard
of fire protection much above that

ELEASU hE AND hAEElNESS
One of the things our world has
completely forgotten is the Chris
tian distinction between pleasure
and happiness. It seeks happiness
and tries to find it in pleasure.
Amusements, eating, drinking,
wealth, enjoyment of beautiful
things-these are the pleasures
which men want Nor are these
wrong in themselves. They be-
come wrong, however, when they
are mistaken for happiness. Then
they have a way of turning into
dust and ashes and ending finally
in a terrifying sense of disappoint-
ment and less
True happiness is a far different
matter It is a thing of the soul.
It consists, not of tasting and see
ing, but of believing and knowing.
For the Christian heart it is, first
of all, the glorious assurance of
salvation, of forgiven sin and the
grace of God, when that has come,
the Christian can go on to the great
and holy happiness of knowing and
doing the will of God Such hap
piness goes far beyond the brief,

All of US need that in these an
xious days. Our Savior has given
us the power to be truly and deep
ly happy. In Him we can make
life stairway to heaven. We can
find the same happiness which
comes from knowing and follow

from God and returns to God. No |
earthly pleasure can be compared |

this problem is so important to us
where local economy is dependent
in large degree on the orderly flow

ner A point l wish to make is
that regardless of the intentions or

such that it is physically impossible
to replace the services unimpaired

of dollars available for ex-

planning and execution of policy
The Russian government is di-
vided into two groups: The Coun-
Gil of Ministers, or inner cabinet
which is composed of the highest
ranking officials close to Prime
Minister Stain as well as members
of the Politburo; and the techni-
cal ministries.
1t has frequently happened in
the past that some of the 13 men,
bers of the inner cabinet were also
heads of technical ministries
This was true of v. M. Molotov
when he was foreign minister, as
we'll as Marshal Bulganin as
armed forces minister.
The combination of the job of
planning national and interna-
tional policies for the vast en-
pire, which extends from Ger
many to the Pacific. with the task
of administering the various de-
partments proved to be very
severe burden on tcp-ranking So
Wet policy-framers.
13 Men Relieved.
Last February, it, is reported,
a decision was taken by the Poll
turbo with Mr.. Stains approval
to relieve the 13 men of the inner
circle of all administrative duties
and permit them to concentrate
exclusively on planning.
The administrative jobs now are
being left to second-rank minis
tiers, 48 in number. These men
are technical specialists in their
own fields who work under the
direction of the inner cabinet,
where overall decisions are taken
and communicated to heads of
the executive departments.
This arrangement fortifies the
security of the Kremlin's plans.
Only 13 men know actually what
will be done in the future. Men

They raised a question concerning
Mr.. Straus' loyalty. This was de-
scribed by the Secretary Of the In

it served its purpose. The repeal

appropriation bill, has had to be
set aside until the Senate can dis

mulated by the inner circle. They
receive instructions to implement
a certain policy, but they do not
know what lies behind that policy
None of the present departmental
heads are members of the Poll
turbo or the inner circle.
Marshal Vasilevsky is a fal
abler professional soldier than his
predecessor. who was a political
marshal. But his activities will
be confined exclusively to strength
ening the organization of the Red
army and improving planning for
whatever purpose the inner circle
decide.
Bulganin to Keep Informed.
Bulganin will keep in close touch
with what goes on in his former
department. He will know all
about its activities, while the new
minister will know only the Or
ders which emanate from highest
authorities and come to him
through his chief.
In recent years the Soviet staff
schools and war colleges have i'm
proved to the point where they
now are considered equal to the
best in the Western world. The
only present weaknesses, which
place the Soviet army in a posi-
ton of tactical inferiority. are in
the communications system. This
means not only transportation but
also radar and similar devices
which in the United States Army
are handled by the Signal Corps.
This deficiency has been alle-
waited in part by the collaboration
of German specialists who served
in the Nazi army in World War II
and either volunteered to join the
Russians or were shanghaied into
Soviet service. But much still re-
mains to be done to equal the
Western powers progress.
Bulganin. who thought in po-
litical rather than technical terms
while he was the active head of
Russias armed forces, was less
able to effect drastic and rapid
improvements than Vasilevsky Is.
His principal purpose was to
strengthen the political side of
the army by reinstating political
commissars in every unit Of the
army and to see that the commits
sars kept the top commanders in
line.
This work now has been COM
pleted. Marshal Vasilevsky takes
over to improve some of the tech
nical aspects of the Soviet military
organization.

ly last November, fell the duty of
naming a Senator to serve until
the next general election. He had
a lively crop of candidates to
choose from. He surprised the
State by naming a man who had
not been mentioned, who was in
no sense a candidate-who, in
fact, resisted the Governors pri-
vate persuasions for 10 days be-
fore agreeing to accept the honor
Yet this was a man who, once he
was named, was acclaimed not
only by the State but throughout
the Nation as almost the ideal
of a United States Senator. APP
parently, until he had been
chosen, nobody had thought OF
the senatorship in terms that
large.
Recognizes Greatness.
So DR.. Frank P. Graham,
president of the University of
Carolina, comes to the Senate and
Gov. Scott reveals himself as a
big man among Governors. big
enough to recognize greatness in
others and commander it for the
Nations service. Never regarded
as much of politician, Gov.
Scott served as State Commis-
Sioner of Agriculture so SatiSfac-
torily for eight years that he
was able to beat the States best
politicians last year and obtain
the governorship. Not much else
is known about him, save that he
is a successful dairy farmer and
a practicing Presbyterian. Much
more is likely to be known, how
ever, if he continues to give the
State and country the best he has
to offer.
Meantime, the little men aren't
idle or silent. Senators Bricker
of Ohio and Jenner of Indiana
while saying they will not oppose
the seating of the new Senator
profess some profound misgivings
on the subject of his loyalty
To ease their minds it may be
necessary for DR.. Graham to SUBJ
NIT to one of those cloudy inqui-
sitions that have become so ia
miliar.
Not meaning to cal anybody 9
bad name, it still seems to be a.
true today as when Samuel John.
son said it, that patriotism is the
last refuge of scoundrel.
