I Brazil, Uruguay. Argentina, Chile,

also met many of the leading statcs
I men of South America, with whom I
j discussed questions of national inter

desire to strengthen commercial, fi
nancial and political relations with
the United States, and everywhere we
-Went there was a genuinely friendly
attitude and a complete absence of
that suspicion and distrust of the
United States which has, until re
cently, eglsted to a more or less de
gree In some, at least, of the Central
and South American countries.
, Wilson's Policies Prove Beneficial.
! "This Is a very fortunate develop
ment. It is due primarily to the poli
cies and utterances of President
Wilson and to the suggestions made
)y the United States for mutual guar
antees of the territorial Integrity and
political Independence of all the
American republics. If this happy
consummation can be realised It will
do more; In my opinion, to promote
table, rapid and peaceful development
of the American states than any ain
gl political act of the last century.
It Will be a transcendent achievement
If the territorial and political integ
rity of every American nation, large
and small, can be made secure through
unity of action and Interest. With
this accomplished there is no, limit
to the future of the American they
will ' be as Impregnable as they will
be potential for good. The numerous
' pan-American conferences recently
held, bringing together as they have,
leading men of the various Latin
American states, have contributed
greatly to a better understanding and
have helped to create sentiment in
favor of pan-American unity and
solidarity.
, Merchant Marias Seal Bead.
i "Every leading statesman in South
America with whom I talked empha
I sea the paramount Importance of a
merchant marine under the flag of the
.United States, or under the flags of
the different . American nations, if
- American financial and commercial re
lations are to be enlarged upon an en
during foundation. Without a single
exception they all concurred in the
view that the- merchant marine ques
tion is the most important one now
.confronting the American states. The
hope was expressed in every country
and was voiced in the resolutions un
: animously adopted by the internation
al ' high commission that the United
States will promptly solve this pres
sing problem, and there was frank
1 recognition that the United States
alone has the financial resources to
do so. A number of the leading states
men of South America did not hesitate
to say that if our government really
" wanted to serve her own interests in
the highest degree and help her suf
fering neighbors of South America In
their extremity (because the com
- meres of many of these countries is
seriously hurt for lack of shipping)
the-Unlted States will not fail to do
'something practical and promptly.
Tims Bole for Action.
; VMany prominent men told me that
there has been an abundance of Inter
American conferences and friendly
expressions for many years, but that
concrete results had been relatively
;' small; that if the United States
wanted to take advantage of the
greatest opportunity in Its history to
Strengthen Its commercial, financial
t and political relations with the Latin
'American states, it would be necessary
to do more than merely exchange
flendly messages and sentiments; that
the surest foundation of better rela
tions Was the establishment of ample
means of communication, so that the
prodtftts of the different countries
could be' quickly moved in mutually
profitable: trade with each other
" Sufficient credits would then follow,
because wherever there is profitable
trade between the people of different
countries it Is not difficult to find
" the means of financing It.
A Intercontinental Kallroad.
"Another question of great import
ance Is the completion of the Inter
Continental Railway connecting North
and South America through the Isth
mus or jranama. uuisiae or ocean
transportation, no other undertaking
-mora essential to the future develop
.ment of North and South America
than the construction of this great
railroad. It is not a visionary idea
it II a very practical idea and one
that can be realised at much less cost
t hah. the Panama Canal. This is tho
kind Of constructive enterprise that
appeals to the imagination and spirit
' of our people. There are no people to
whom a great and daring development
of this character appeals so strongly
as the people of the United States. If
the Ideal of pan-American unity, based
upon mutual guarantees of territorial
Integrity and political Independence
should come about, the construction of
this pan-American trunk line will do
all the more Important and all the
mora easily secured, because there
' will be no hesitation then about the
adoption of a standard gauge in all
' countries. As it stands now, different
' gauges have been adopted by various
.countries as a protection against In
' vaslon of one by another. This fear
wilt disappear and g .-eater cooperation

Forest- Service Completes Its
Second Study of Condi
tions in Cascades.
The United States forest service has
ust completed its second study or
avalanches In the northern Cascades,
and the conditions which Induce them.
The first stuly was made In 1910, after
he .disastrous slides of that year, and
the second was made this spring, to ob
serve the effects of the heavy snows
of the past winter in the same region.
The second study has simply empha
sized the conclusions drawn from the
first. The results of the 1910 observa
tions were published in Forest Service
Circular 173, r by Thornton T. Munger.
The observations in 1916 were made by
W. F. Ramsdell. of the Wenatchee na
tional forest, and his report has recent-
y been placed on file in the forest serv
ice office.
In 1910 an examination was made not
only of the whole territory In which
illdes had been prevalent, but an ex
tensive or detailed examination was
made of conditions along Nason creek.
between Berne and Gaynor, and also at
Wellington, where over 100 people had
been killed and over $350,000 damage
done to property. During the winter of
1910, on the three mile stretch between
Berne and Gaynor, at least 11 aval
anches crossed the railroad tracks.
Unusually Xarge Snowfall.
Conditions during the past winter
differed from those of 1910 In that
there was not the thawing and freez-
ng and thawing again of that season,
but there was an unusually large quan
tity of snow records kept at Cascade
tunnel show the total snowfall to have
been 68 feet. Slides occurred in 1916,
not only where there had never been
trouble before, but In greater numbers
than In 1910. In Tumwater Canyon, for I
Instance, but nine slides occurred in
1910, whereas in 1916 on March 18.
notes were taken in this canyon upon
48 slides which l.ad crossed the rail
road track in widths varying from 4ft
to 850 feet, and burying it to depths
from 10 to 60 feet.
In 1910 heavy snow fell early in the
winter, followed by a thaw and then a
freeze, leaving the snow area crusted
and smooth. The next heavy snow
falling upon this ley surface readily
slid off, propelled by its own weight.
Just as the enow slides off the sloping
roof of a building. But in the past
winter it was the great volume of fair
ly light snow which could not help buT
topple away from cliffs and steep
slopes.
Two Types of Slides.
Both studies brougnt out. first, that
there are two types of slides canyon
slides and slope slides. A canyon slide
is one which originates on the steep
and rocky cliffs at the head of a can
yon or ejilley, aDd follows down the de
pression as a compact, narrow body of
snow. Slides of this character occur
all over the Cascades, and must be con
sidered the unavoidable results of steep,
rocky slopes and heavy snowfalls. A
slope slide consists of a wide, shallow,
rather slowly moving mass of snow.
which breaks loose from the snow man
tel higher up the mountainside, and
which, starting to slide, involves the
snow of the whole hillside, and slips
down the slope without converging into
a canyon. Again, it may toe llkenO to
a mass of wet snow sliding in a body
off the roof of a large building after a
sudden thaw.
Slides Ax Contrasted.
Such a slide wan that at Wellington
In 1910, which came down a smooth,
bare, but. not very steep slope, that, un
til the fire 23 years ago. had been heav
ily forested. Slope slides are usually
shorter than canyon slides, and their
snow less solidly packed. In compar
ison with canyon slides, they are short
and wide, instead of long and narrow.
Their velocity is usually not great, but
the enormous weight of the wet snow
gives them great momentum and
crushing power.
The canyon slides occur in the same
places every year, and have well worn
paths. They do less damage than slope
slides, because their locality is well
known, and property can be located to
avoid them, or be protected from them
by snowsheds and the like. Slope
slides, on the other hand, are usually
unexpected, and the result of climatic
conditions.
Both studies' also brought out the
fact that these slope slides occurred
almost without exception on
areas
dor and Peru in South America, and
the estimated cost of construction is,
roughly speaking. $150,000,000. With
these links completed it would require
only a relatively small amount of ad
ditional construction to connect the
main trunk line with Santiago, Chile,
and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and then
practically all the principal capitals
of Central and South America will be
connected with each other and with
all the cities of the United States.
'AH aboard for Buenos Aires,' when
shouted in ...is 'railroad stations of
New York City will be a thrilling an
nouncement. Some day, and in the
not remote future, this announcement
will be heard."
WU1 Reimburse Students.

paign has been started among business

which had been deforested by recent
fires. If avalanches had occurred on
slopes such as those near Berne and
Wellington periodically, or even occa
sionally, for centuries, as they have on
the canyon slldeways, there would have
been no heavy forest of large trees on
these slopes, as there certainly was un
til the fires of recent years destroyed
It.
In the region examined there are
many forested slopes as steep as the
deforested slopes on which avalanches
started. No slope slides started, how
ever, where the mountainside was tim
bered, and nearly all of the canyon
slides originated either on deforested
slopes or on those naturally bare. The
Berne-Gaynor stretch of track exam
ined In 1910 showed many new slides
In 1916; but, as in 1910, no slides of anv
consequence occurred within the green
timber all of the large and destruc
tive avalanches sweeping down the de
forested, non-rprested, or lightly for
ested slopes. Furthermore, it should
be noted that only one slide occurred
along the stretch of track between Cas
cade tunnel and Berne. Here the
slopes are of equal steepness with the
Berne-Gaynor area, but they are heav
ily timbered. The one slide mentioned
was down a brushy ravine, and did no
damage.
Trees X.lke Nails.
It should be obvious that standing:
trees hold the snow blanket In place
mechanically, as nails hold a shingle
roof. Each tree encountered absoros
some of the momentum of the aval
anche. The forest also promotes cli
matic conditions which are less favor
able to the starting of slides than are
conditions In the open.
The falling of large drops of water
and chunks of snow from th frowns o(
the rees during a thaw tends to ce
ment the whole snow mass together
when it freezes at night. The extremes
of temperatu e on the ground, however,
are less in the forest than in the open,
and therefore, a less slippery crust,
and oftener a smaller amount of crust,
is formed In the forest than in the open.
Inasmuch as there are but scant rec
ords in this country in regard to ava
lanches, these contentions cannot be
proved, no matter how obvious they may
appear to be; but in Switzerland, where
a record has been kept since 1872 of
10,000 avalanches, it has been found
that 94 per cent started in deforested
or non-forested land, and only 6 per
cent originated on timbered or brush
areas.
Value of Forests Recognized.
A record such as this cannot be gain
said. In fact, the role which the forest
plays In preventing the formation of
avalanches is well recognized In Eu
rope. For centuries it has been the
aim of the Swiss government to keep
unbroken the forest cover on the moun
tains, and to extend the natural limits
of the forest cover as high up on the
slopes as possible. As' early as 1342,
"bann," or protection, forests were cre
ated, and are now administered under
a system which insures the continu
ance of a solid forest cover over, the
slopes where trees can be made to grow.
.Many of the places where avalanches
originate1 are at too high an altitude or
are too rocky for tree growth. In such
places the Swiss government builds
walls of stone or wood, terraces, ditches
or rows of posts as barriers against

the sliding snow. In sgme places these
barriers are only temporary, and are In
tended to prevent slides only until the
forest planted under their protection
has grown to -suitable size.
Problem in Cascades Different.
In the northern Cascades the prob
lem of protection from avalanches is at
present very different from that in Eu
rope. Abroad the country is thickly
settled, and the land and property of
enormous value. The northern Cascade
region is still, for the most part, a wil
derness, and the property threatened Is
chiefly that of the transmountaln rail
ways. It Is not altogether possible to
avoid placing these railroads In the
path of avalanches, and millions of dol
lars have been spent by the railroads
in building snow sheds to protect their
property, and In clearing the tracks
from debris after avalanches.
It Is quite evident that the general
public is awake to the necessity for
more effective protective measur-ss.
During the course of the forest service
studies, and also during the observa
tions made by E. A. Beats, of the
weather bureau, after the slides of 1910,
many people living In the vicinity -f
slide areas were interviewed ranchers,
miners, loggers, railroad, business and
professional men and all were either
already of the opinion that forest cover.
prevents avalanches, or were quite
ready to accept this opinion as obvious
ly true. It Is fully realized, however,
that whatever preventive measures are
taken will, of necessity, be slow In op
eration, and the next generation will
benefit by them more than the present.
Cooperation Is ZTecessary.
It is doubtful if the prevention of
canyon elides is practicaDie in tne
northern Cascades. Avalanches of the
slope type, however, are unnecessary
and preventable. Their frequency can
be greatly lessened by (1) the absolute
fire protection of the areas now forest
ed, for it is quite evident that the ma
jority of these avalanches are linked
directly with forest fires, and in ap
proaching the avalanche problem, it Is
necessary to go back to the fire prob
lem; (2) by the exclusion of grazing
from the slopes, for sheep tend to re
tard vegetation; (3) by careful cutting
of timber on the slopes, so that only a
part of the stand Is removed and the
continuity of the forest cover is pre
served; and (4) by the reforestation of
denuded areas wherever possible.
As federal, state and government
lands are so closely Intermixed in the
northern Cascades, the closest coopera
tion is necessary for success. It is
hoped that this winter menace to life
and property In the mountains may be
lessened by curing Its fundamental con
tributory case that la, by preventing
forest fires and by reforesting denuded
slopes.
