. . .
To th Water Drinker of This Vicinity.
Reading, this morning, an article by
3eorge G. Mackenzie on the "Pressing
Need of Forest Reservation, in the .
Sierra" in tho current number of the i
Century, I aru forcibly reminded of the.;
equally great and apparently unheeded !
need of a similar preservation of the
sources of our own water supply. Al
ready a vast mischief has been done. If
the ' alarm note is not immediately
Hounded and heeded, a brief generation
may reproduce what is now seen in de
forested Spain water sold ". by the
cariers that is, as far as our own water j
-bed is concerned. These hazards have
not been concealed, - but are plain to
every observer. The supine indifference
with which the general community en
dures a familiar and common danger, is
one of the marvels of humanity. Two
years ago I observed what might have
been thought to be the bursting out of
an active crater on the side of Mount
Hood. It - was but the cloud of dust
caused by' a flock of sheep that were
herded there. To see what those
sheep could accomplish in one sea
son, tce has but to look at
when the band ferried across the
Colombia last Sunday morning were
camped but for a short time. In the
morning a, short thick sward covered the
place, in the afternoon the wind was
carrying the very soil itself far to the
westward. This policy of public inac
tion will rapidly hasten not only the de-
. struction of our water eupply, but af our
glorious mountain itself. It was sore
enough when the accuracy of surveys
took off some thousands of feet 'from
that proud peak now far more than
mortifying will it be to have its robe of
protecting geen torn from its base, by
wanton destruction of its under growth
and consequent exposure to forest fires,
washing of the loosened soil, tumbling
down of the rocks. Alas, for the ancient
glory of our land ! This is no idle scare,
but prompt action to arrest .such wilful
destine tion of the property of the innny
. -of all Oregonians, as weil us of our
many visitors, for the benefit of a ft w
. sheep owners, should at once be taken.
