FORESTS AND FLOODS mer on Latter Few efforts have been made to study experimentally the influnce of forest cover on the flow of springs and the discharge of rivers The chief difficulty is to obtain two areas presenting essentially the same fac tors. The drainage basins studied should be situated near together, run upon the same geological formations, receive the same amount of rainfall and have the same rate of descent. I One of the basins should be deforest ed and the other should have its for est growth preserved intact. A near approach to such parallel factci-3 was found by the Biltmore estate, on the one hand in the portion of Pisgah Forest drained by David son's river in Transylvania county, and on the other hand in the unner drainage basin ot luckaseegee river, m Jackson county, North Carolina. The two areas drained are geologl- tally of the same age and structure; their headwaters are found within the same range of mountains; the i " i u 1 1 i r fVio wi arpQc ia flio o m o i...... .j ..w , tne steepness oi tne siope is aoout the same on the two watersheds. But a marked difference is found in the treatment to which the two areas have been subjected by man. Th headwraters of Davidson's river have had their woods protected from fi h numbering from reckiess farming and from erosion on the hillsides since 1895. The head- waters of the Tuckaseegee, on the other hand, have had their woodlands burnt over, farmed, pastured and T d in fact the area has ben ' ,;jQ,ofi cQ,i v,o in Qn,r caseg the original litter of the forest ,uoc u, Qntir.Qi Jnct.m,on floor has been entirely destroyeo Now the Biltmore estate, with the help of the hydrographic branen of the United States Geological Survey, has been carrying on a study oi these two aras. The Tuckaseegee. though it is the larger river, shows greater fluctuation in its discharge than does Davidson's river, iln other w ords, the discharge of Davidson & river is more uniform and even than that of the Tuckaseegee. Davidson's is practically free from sediment; Tuckaseegee, at it 5 flood-time, bears an abui.dar.ea oX gravel and sand which it spreads out over fertile farm lands The forester most interested in the problem reports that the following factors tend to influence the rapidi ty of flow, if not the amount of wa 1. The greater porosity of the for est soil increases its permeability; the water precipitated from the A551 5011 m0re on tite ground in the checkg superficial rjin.off o rru.'uw j -iKyi rv tiio ground act as a sponge.

President Wiilson decided today to postpone fur ther conferences with the represen tatives of the railroads and employes in an effort to a.void the railroad strike until tomorrow when he will re ceive the 640 members of the gener al committee in the east room of the hite house. In the meantime the president, through Judge William L. Chambers of the federal board of mediation and conciliation, will keep in touch with both sides. No engagement has has been made with the managers com mittee, but it is probable the presi dent will see them tomorrow. The plan the president is working is on is to have an eight-hour dav commission work out the 1 collateral issues. If the eight-hour day is agreed on employes, will be asked to give up their demand for time and a half for over time. The halt in the negotiations has been caused primarily bv the fact that the brotherhood leaders v:h u, . , , j have been meeting with the president- have no plenary powers and have t( refer back all matters to the general committee in New York. President Wilson decided time would be saved and better results Lachieved the 640 members of the general committee were brought to Washington and met him directly Therefore it was decided to have the members meet him tomorrow. The committee of managers re-' mained in session almost continuously today discussing the questions cut lined. It was expected that the dis cussions have taken such from that a definite decision might be made be fore the end of the week. Administration officials would not discuss the situation today, because the outcome of the negotiations de Pcifls nn the at'- of iV no3i and committee. Among he railroad managers to day there was a discussion of a pro posal for some sort of permanent commission to consider all railway disputes and that it should begin with the present one. Whether it should be a semi-private one organiz ed! by agreement between the rail roads and men was not made ciear. but there seemed to be some senti ment in favor of having it created by an act of congress similar to the board of mediation and conciliation. It was not made clear whether President Wilson was considering the idea or not. Brotherhood leaders would not say whether a compromise coid not be reached by putting the eight-hour day into effect for six months fo.r a trial and allowing prorata pay for over time as has been suggested, but I they say such a system would have ! i t l j 4. i l : uct. .utu auviiiiiacs over liic untr m which they are working. Under that plan a man earning $4 for 10 hours would make the same at eight hours. Thus his overtime would start at 50 cents an hour at the end of the eighth hour, and he would earn $5 instead of $4 a day. After speakSing tomorrow to 640 repsentatives of the employes, Presi dent Wilson may make public his re marks. This is regarded a,s very significant of the president's fear of the country's being plunged into .a nation-wide industrial disturbance and will show the manner in which he has tried to avert it. It will be the first announcement of the delibera tions. Children Have Picnic. The children's choir of the First Methodist church was given a pienre Tuesday afternoon, about 75 children enjoying the swings on the lawn at Mr. George Ivey's and Mr. R. J. Foster's for an hour. Refreshments were served by the ladies of the church, the children were photo-. graph in group and later driven to the river in automobiles. It was an enjoyable afternoon for the little folks.
