538 DISCUSSION : FORESTS, RESERVOIRS, AND STREAM FLOW 
Mr. Chitten- Valley Improvement Association, the paper is a “dangerous document 
den. t the cause because it looks so much like the truth.” 
It is possible that these gentlemen are beginning to realize that 
they have slightly over-reached in this matter, and that their very 
strenuosity amounts to a confession of weakness. Be that as it may, 
the writer is content to accept the judgment of his professional 
brethren, in and out of this Society, upon the essential soundness of 
his seven forestry propositions and of his views of publie policy con- 
nected therewith.
