CIDC DECI1ITC Illlb UbOUUlU DUE TO THE I WATER SHED i Residents of Wallace, Idaho, now claim that results of the disastrous forest Area in northern Idaho in 1910 ure I e'ng mado evident in the chrag ed flow from a watershed then burn ed over which furnishes the water supppply of the city. This basin included an area of ap* proximately two thousand acres and was formerly well timbered with trees from 60 to 200 years old. These were almost wholly destroyed by the flros of 1910. Fron this w?tcrnhed the city rets its supply not 0.11y for J?mesth- purpose* 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 flres the flow of the stream at Its lowest stages was never below one thou1 sand miners' inches, the unit of measurement which has been used. But since MfS* fire, the records ahoir 1 that the minimum flow has fallen to about 250 miners' Inches and It 1.s now necessary for the company ' which furnishes water, light, and * power to expend a considerable amount of money each year in dep veloptng power from steam and use u a considerable pan 01 xnia power a In pumping water. Records of the weather bureau at Wallace show * that the precipitation for the years 41 since the fire has been about normal r for the region. This seems to demonstrate to the townspeople that the f unovenness In the flow most be due to the destruction of the forest cover of the watershed and not to any change In climate or precipitation. In view of the situation, the forest service has undertaken to reforre est the denuded watershed. Some 'P planting has already been dene and eventually all of the watershed which Is Included within national >r forest boundaries is to be reforested. The people of Wallace are takn Ing considerable interest in the work y and express themselves as thorough- ? 1,0 |y In sympathy with the efTort that the service 1b making. The erperts M of the department, however, point out that the planting wlU probably d* have no immediate effect, yet It >e~ should influence run-off as soon as rtP forest conditions are restored, atd Tk re-establish eventually a more stable *9 stream flow. In the meantime the 'U* forest officers are taking measurements of the Btream in connection >ur with the records of precipitation, to ?r determine Just what relation exists. tic and what results will follow reforests tatlon. ful _ IN THE CITY.
