FORESTRY ASSOCIATION At Present Appalachian Power is Going to Waist, Caused by the Deforestation of Watersheds In a brief, pointed paper, William Jennings Bryan, as "a private citizen" presented to the Conference his views on conservation. Every progressive step proposed in the conference, forestry, both national and state, irrigation, drainage, inland waterways, and careful use of coal and iron—was indorsed by him. He pointed out that the underflow, supplying well water to large western areas, was menaced by deforestation in the Rocky mountains. He advocated removal of the lumber tariff. Speaking of the relative fields of state and nation he pointed out that the constitution provides "no twilight zone" between the two in which predatory, exploiting interests may safely hide. APPALACHIAN WATER POWERS A recent report of government experts, who have been examining the sources of water power in the southern Appalachian mountains, says that the streams which have their head waters in these mountains show at least 2,800,-000 indicated horse power. At present by far the largest part of this power is going to waste, because it is not steadily available the year round. This is for the reason that the streams on which the horse power is developed carry a full head of water only during the winter and spring, and are to all intents and purposes dry in the summer and fall. This makes it necessary to supplement the water with costly fuel power. The deforestation of the watersheds in which the streams of the southern by far the largest part of this power is going to waste, because it is not steadily available the year round. This is for the reason that the streams on which the horse power is developed carry a full head of water only during the winter and spring, and are to all intents and purposes dry in the summer and fall. This makes it necessary to supplement the water with costly fuel power. The deforestation of the watersheds in which the streams of the southern Appalachian region take their rise is altogether responsible for this condition of affairs, and this fact is plainly shown in the report referred to. The report also points out the additional fact that low water periods are growing longer year by year, the added length being in proportion to the deforestation of the lands around the head waters. On these deforested slopes the winters' snow melts far more rapidly than on forested areas, and the snow waters, with the rains of spring and early summer, rush down the channels of the streams in vastly greater quantity than can be utilized at the time. In addition to this, the torrential waters strip the top soil from the denuded slopes and fill the mill ponds with thousands of tons of sand, gravel and soil scoured off the unprotected slopes. The object of the proposed Southern Appalachian Forest is to protect these watersheds, thereby conserving and equalizing the distribution of rainfall and snow waters and making the stream-flow more equable. The reforestation and protection of the slopes will also prevent the filling up of channels with the accumulation of sand, gravel and silt; keep mill ponds clear and prevent the silting up of navigable channels and harbors. All this is true also in the case of the proposed White Mountain Forest, and the most important task that confronts the people of the two sections affected is to indicate unmistakably to Congress that the pending bills for the establishment of these two national forests must be passed. THE FOREST COMMISSIONS IN THE WEST When Governor Folk of Missouri announced on the second day of the White House Conference that his first act on returning to his home state would be to appoint a state forestry commission, the applause that greeted the announcement indicated very plainly that more than 75 acres will have to be purchased cost of $3.50 per acre in the Appalachian mountains alone to complete reserve. This will require more than the construction of the P canal. THE FOREST COMMISSIONS IN THE WEST When Governor Folk of Missouri announced on the second day of the White House Conference that his first act on returning to his home state would be to appoint a state forestry commission, the applause that greeted the announcement indicated very plainly the intense interest that has been aroused in the question of general conservation. In a short, though very forcible talk, Governor Folk admitted that until recently he had been but little interested in the idea of forest conservation; he added, however, that since coming to Washington and listening to the statements made at the conference, he had come to a very lively appreciation of the necessity for conservation and reforestation, and therefore his first official act on returning to St. Louis would be the appointment of a state forestry commission. Governor Folk's announcement was followed by a similar announcement from Governor Toole, of Montana, and the urgent recommendation was made by both of these speakers, as well as by many other members of the conference, that a forestry commission be appointed in every state represented in the conference, which has not already such a commission. INLAND WATERWAYS COMMISSION BILL REPORTED FAVORABLY On the opening day of the White House Conference, President Roosevelt, in referring to the Inland Waterways Commission, declared that if Congress did not provide for the perpetua- at commission, he, himself, On the day following the “defi” to Congress, the committee on Interstate Comtorted favorably the bill to net the Inland Waterways This bill provides for a commission consisting of wars, to be appointed by the The commission is to have Washington, and the bill adds for carrying on its work. ed that before the present the bill will have passed and the Inland Watermission will have become authorized departments of total conservation and recalation.

Gates said: “One of the important things accomplished at Sacramento was to demonstrate the strength of the sentiment in this state toward the Lincoln - Roosevelt republican league movement. Of the 629 delegates to the convention 390 were appointed or elected at informal primaries under the control of machine committeemen, and yet we had 275 votes in the con­vention.” Councilman A. J. Wallace, of Los Angeles, said: “Notwithstanding the fact that we were handicapped in many ways, the results accomplished by the league are little less than marvelous, and give promise of a complete triumph for the reform forces in August. The appointment of 390 delegates to the state convention by the machine lead­ers was a political infamy which will arouse a wave of indignation in this state that will sweep the machine out of power.” Marshall Stimson said: “The Lin­coln-Roosevelt republican league suc­ceeded in compelling the machine to abandon its policy of attempting to perpetuate itself in power. The convention refused to be bound by the rules of the Santa Cruz convention, and elected its chairman, instead of permitting him to be appointed by the state executive committee. The league also contributed largely to securing an instructed delegation for Taft.” A. W. Atherton said: “Not in twenty-five years has there been in a state convention so magnificent a body of men as those who proudly wore the Lincoln-Roosevelt republican league badge at Sacramento. They were there to represent principle and the people, and they did it.” No. 6481 REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE First National Bank No. 6481 REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE First National Bank OF ANAHEIM At Anaheim, in the State of California, at the close of business, May 14, 1908 RESOURCES Loans and Discounts ... $250,847 83 Overdrafts, secured and unsecured ... 1,073 23 U.
