States Geological Survey under authority implied in the organic law 

(20 Stat. L., p. 394), which contains the following paragraph:

Provided, That this officer [the Director] shall have the direction of the geological. 

'survey and the classification of public lands, and examination of the geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain.

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies of 

water supply for irrigation. Since the fiscal year ending June 30, 

1895, successive sundry civil bills passed by Congress have carried 

the following item and appropriations:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United States, 

and for the investigation-of underground currents and artesian wells, and for the 

preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water resources:

In the execution of the work many private and State organizations have cooperated, either by furnishing data or by assisting financially in collecting the data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of 

the first kind are made in connection with the description of each 

station affected and of the second kind on page 13.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 3,000 

points in the United States and also at many points in small areas

in Seward Peninsula and the Yukon-Tanana region, Alaska, and in 

the Hawaiian Islands. On July 1, 1913, 1,388 gaging stations 

were being maintained by the Survey and the cooperating organizations, and during the year many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at other points. In connection with this work, data 

were also collected in regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage 

reservoirs, river profiles, and water power in many sections of the 

country, and will be made available in the regular water-supply 

papers from time to time.

PUBLICATIONS.

A report for each year has been prepared embodying the streamflow data collected during that year. An index to the reports containing stream-flow measurements prior to 1904 has been published 

as Water-Supply Paper 119. Circulars are also available giving 

complete lists of the gaging stations maintained by the Survey to 

date, and a list of the reports relating to the water supply of the 

country.

Prior to 1901 gage heights and discharge measurements were published in water-supply papers or bulletins, and estimates of monthly 

discharge in annual reports; since 1901 both classes of data have 

been published in water-supply papers, and they are now being published in 12 parts, as shown in the following table:

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS.

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "run-off" or "discharge" is expressed in various terms, each of which has become 

associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided 

into two groups: (1) Those which represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and discharge in secondfeet per square mile; and (2) those which represent the actual 

quantity'of water, as run-off in depth in inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic feet. The principal terms used in this series of reports 

are second-feet, second-feet per square mile, run-off in inches, acrefeet, and millions of cubic-feet. They may be defined as follows:

"Second-foot" is an abbreviation for "cubic foot per second." 

A second-foot is the rate of discharge of water flowing in a channel

69303° WSP 362 17 2
6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

of rectangular cross section, 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep, at an average velocity of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental unit from which others are computed by the use of the factors given in the tables of convenient equivalents (p. 7).

"Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet 

of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, 

on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as 

regards time and area.

"Run-off (depth in inches)" is the depth to which the drainage 

area would be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given 

period were conserved and uniformly distributed on the surface. 

It is used for comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually 

expressed in depth in inches.

An "acre-foot" is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet and is the 

quantity required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The 

term is commonly used in connection with storage for irrigation 

work.

"Millions of cubic-feet" is used to express quantities of water 

stored in reservoirs, most frequently in connection with studies of 

flood control.

The following terms used in these reports are not in common use 

and may be defined as follows:

"Discharge relation" is an abbreviation for the term "relation of 

gage height to discharge."

"Control," "controlling section," and "point of control" are terms 

used to designate the section or sections of the stream below the 

gage which determine the discharge relation at the gage. It should 

be noted that the control may not be the same section or sections 

at all stages.

The "point of zero flow" for a given gaging station is that point 

on the gage the gage height to which the surface of the river 

would fall if there were no flow.

EXPLANATION OF DATA. 9 

EXPLANATION OF DATA.

For each regular current-meter gaging station (see PL I, B) the 

following data are given: Description of the station, list of discharge 

measurements, table of daily gage height, table of daily discharge, 

table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off. For stations 

located at weirs or dams the gage-height table is usually omitted.

In addition to statements regarding the location and equipment 

of current-meter stations, the descriptions give information in regard 

to any conditions which may affect the constancy of the discharge 

relation covering such points as ice, logging, shifting channels, and 

backwater; also information regarding diversions which decrease 

the total flow at the measuring section. Statements are also made 

regarding the accuracy of the data and computed results.

The table of daily gage height shows the daily fluctuations of the 

surface of the river as found from the mean of the gage readings 

taken each day, usually in the morning and in the evening, though 

at many stations only one reading is made each day. At a comparatively few stations water-stage recorders are used, some of which 

give a continuous record of river stage in the form of a hydrograph, and others a record printed at regular intervals, from which the 

mean daily gage height can be computed. (See PL II.) The gage 

height given in the table represents the elevation of the surface of the 

water above the zero of the gage. When the discharge relation is 

affected by the presence of ice in the streams or by backwater from 

obstructions the gage heights are published as recorded, with suitable 

footnotes. The rating table is not applicable for such periods unless 

the proper corrections to the gage heights are known and applied. 

Attention is called to the fact that the zero of the gage-is placed at 

an arbitrary datum and has no relation to zero flow or the bottom of 

the river. In general the zero is located somewhat below the lowest 

known flow to avoid negative readings.

In the tables of daily gage height the use of zeros in the hundredths 

place indicate the degree of refinement to which the gage was read 

and to which the mean daily gage height was computed. If a gage is 

read to tenths or half-tenths once a day or to tenths twice a day no 

zeros appear in the hundredths place for any stage. If the gage is read 

to half-tenths twice a day or to quarter-tenths or hundredths, regardless of the number of readings a day, the gage heights are published to 

hundredths, and zeros appear in the hundredths place, below a certain 

limiting stage. This limiting stage is so selected that the average error 

in the mean daily discharge, resulting from not using the mean daily 

gage height to hundredths above that stage, shall not be greater than 

2 per cent. For water-stage recorders the allowable average error of
10 SURFACE WATEE SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

the daily discharge has been taken as 1 per cent. The selection of the 

percentage is arbitrary, but it should be noted that the maximum error 

will in all cases be twice the average error. In like manner halftenths are used from the hundredths limit to another higher limit, 

above which only tenths are used. It is the aim to have the gageheight observations at each gaging station recorded to the degree of 

refinement required by the above-described method of use, but in 

practice it is found necessary, in order to avoid confusion in the gage 

observer's record, to have the observations for all stages recorded to 

the degree of refinement required for low stages, which usually 

necessitates readings to hundredths of a foot.

The discharge measurements and gage heights are the base data 

from which rating tables, daily discharge tables, and monthly discharge tables are computed.

The rating table gives, either directly or by interpolation, the discharge in second-feet corresponding to every stage of the river 

recorded during the period for which it is applicable. It is not published in this report, but can be determined from the tables of daily 

gage height and daily discharge by plotting gage heights in feet as 

ordinates and discharge in second-feet as abscissas.

The table of daily discharge determined from the gage height and 

rating tables gives the discharge in secondrfeet corresponding to the 

mean of the gage readings observed each day.

The base data presented in this report, unless otherwise stated in 

the description of the station, have been collected by the methods 

commonly used at current-meter gaging stations and described in 

standard textbooks.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Maximum" 

gives the mean flow, as determined from the rating table, for the day 

when the mean gage height was highest. As the gage height is the 

mean for the day, it does not indicate correctly the stage when the 

water surface was at crest height, and the corresponding discharge 

was consequently larger than given in the maximum column. Likewise, in the column of "Minimum" the quantity given is the mean 

flow for the day when the mean gage height was lowest. The column 

headed "Mean" is the average flow in cubic feet for each second 

during the month. On this the computations for the remaining columns, which are defined on pages 5 and 6, are based.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS,

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends on (1) the permanence of 

channel and of the relation between discharge and stage, and (2) on 

the accuracy of observation of stage; measurements of discharge; 

and interpretation of data.
ACCUBACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS. 11

In order to give engineers and others information regarding the 

probable accuracy of the computed result®, footnotes are added to 

the daily discharge tables, stating the probable accuracy of the rating 

curves used, and an accuracy column is inserted in the monthly discharge table. For the rating curves "well defined" indicates, in 

general, that the rating is probably accurate within 5 per cent; 

"fairly well defined," within 10 per cent; "poorly defined" or "approximate," within 15 to 25 per cent. These notes are very general 

and are based on the plotting of the individual measurements with 

reference to the mean rating curve.

The accuracy column in the monthly discharge table does not apply 

to the estimate of maximum or minimum discharge nor to that for 

any one day, but to the monthly mean. It is based on the accuracy 

of the rating, the probable reliability of the observer, the number of 

gage readings per day, the range of the fluctuation in stage, and 

knowledge of local conditions. In this column A indicates that the 

mean monthly flow is probably accurate within 5 per cent; B, within 

10 per cent; C, within 15 per cent; D, within 25 per cent. Special 

conditions are covered by footnotes.

Even though the monthly means for any station may represent 

with a high degree of accuracy the quantity of water flowing past the 

gage, the figures showing discharge per square mile and depth of runoff in inches may be subject to gross errors which result from including in the measured drainage area large noncontributing districts or 

omitting estimates of water diverted for irrigation or other use. Cin 

this account the computations of "second-feet per square mile" and 

"run-off, depth in inches" have not been made for streams draining 

areas in which the annual rainfall is less than 20 inches, nor for 

streams draining areas in which the precipitation exceeds 20 inches 

if such computations might be uncertain or misleading because of 

the presence of Targe noncontributing districts in the measured 

drainage area, of omitting estimates of water diverted for irrigation 

or other use, or of artificial control or unusual natural control of the 

flow of the river above the gaging station. All values of "secondfeet per square mile" and "run-off, depth in inches" previously 

published by the Survey should be used with extreme caution, and 

such values in this report should be used with care because of possible 

inherent sources of error not known to the Survey.

In general the base data collected each year by the Survey engineers are published, not only to comply with the law, but also to afford 

any engineer the means of analyzing in detail the results of the computations. The table of monthly discharge gives only a general idea 

of the flow at the station and should not be used for other than preliminary estimates. The tables of daily discharge allow more de-

tailed studies of the variation in flow. It should be borne in mind 

however that the observations in each succeeding year may be expected to throw new light on data already collected and published.

- COOPERATION.

The work in Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Oregon has been 

done under cooperative agreements between the United States Geological Survey and the respective States.

Cooperation with the States is effected under contracts which are 

made between the Director of the Federal Survey and the State 

engineers or other officials and are authorized by legislative acts 

appropriating moneys. The State contracts are essentially of the 

same order, the principal provisions being substantially as follows:

1. The United States Geological Survey retains direct supervision 

of the field work and the preparation of the data for publication.

2. The Federal Survey retains possession of all material collected, 

but this material is open to inspection by the State officials, and if 

not satisfactory the agreements can be terminated at any time.

3. The salaries of gage observers and the salaries and traveling 

and field expenses of the engineers are divided between the two parties 

in some manner agreed upon.

4. The places at which investigations shall be made are determined 

by conference between the State and Federal officials.

5. The cost of publication is borne entirely by the Federal Survey.

The work in Washington was done in cooperation with the Board 

of Geological Survey, composed of Ernest Lister, governor; L. F. 

Hart, lieutenant governor; Edward Meath, treasurer; T. F. Kane, 

president of the University of Washington, and E. A. Bryan, president of the State college. The board was very efficiently represented 

in the cooperative investigations by Henry Landes, State geologist.

Special acknowledgments are due to J. H. Lewis, State engineer of 

Oregon; to A. W. Mahon, State engineer of Montana; and to A. E. 

Robinson, State engineer of Idaho, and his successor, F. P. King, 

for the very efficient manner in which they represented their States 

in the cooperative investigations.

Acknowledgments are also due to the engineers and employees of the 

United States Reclamation Service, the United States Forest Service, 

and the United States Office of Indian Affairs for assistance, suggestions, and the freest use of data which were gathered exclusively for 

them and for which they have paid; and to the Corps of Engineers, 

United States Army, to the officers of the United States Weather 

Bureau for hydrographic and climatic data, and to the United States 

Bureau of Fisheries for gage heights.

The following cities, private companies, and irrigation districts 

have cooperated in the collection of records; City of Bellingham,

PUGET SOUND DRAINAGE BASIN. 19

WHITE RIVER AT BUCKLEY, WASH.

Location. In see. 34, T. 20 N., R. 6 E., at the Northern Pacific Railway bridge

about a mile northeast of Buckley. 

Becords available. April 22,1899, to August 31,1903 (gage heights only January 1,

1902, to August 31, 1903); October 1, 1910, to November 30, 1911; January 18,

1913, to September 30,1913. 

Drainage area. 424 square miles. 

Gage. Vertical staff and Fuller water-stage recorders. 

Channel and control. Large bowlders and cobblestones; likely to shift during

floods; gradient very steep. 

Discharge measurements. Made from a plank walk on lower cross beams of the

Northern Pacific Railroad bridge. 

Diversion. White River flume diverts water from river about a mile above gage.

Monthly discharge computed from combined flow of river and canal. 

Accuracy. Results good. Frequent measurements are required to define the rating

curve. 

Cooperation. Gage-height record and some discharge measurements furnished by

Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Co.

CLARK FORK AT METALINE FALLS, WASH.

Location. In E. \ sec. 21, T. 39 N., R. 43 E., just below Sullivan Oreek, just above

Metaline Falls, and one-fourth mile north of Metaline Falls post office. 

'Drainage area. 25,600 square miles (measured on General Land Office maps).
58 SUBFACE WATEB SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

Records available. November 4, 1908, to September 4, 1910 (gage heights only); 

October 1,1912, to September 30,1913.

Gage. Vertical and inclined staff in five sections on right bank just above the falls 

and below Sullivan Creek, installed February 12,1914. Prior to this date several 

gages at slightly different locations and datums were used. Gage heights beginning October 1,1912, reduced to datum of the gage installed February 12,1914. 

The gage used 1908 to 1910 was a vertical staff on right bank, three-quarters of a 

mile above present gage and its datum was approximately 8.35 feet higher than 

that of the gage installed February 12,1914.

Discharge measurements. Made from a boat or through an ice cover. Measuring 

section is above Sullivan Creek, the discharge of which must be added to the 

measured discharge of the river.

Channel and control. Banks high and will not overflow; control is formed by the 

crest of Metaline Falls; the right bank at the control is solid rock; the left bank 

is broken rock in which slides may occur* and affect the discharge relation.

Winter flow. Discharge relation not affected by ice owing to proximity of the falls.

Accuracy. Rating curve well defined, but accuracy ratings for some months have 

been reduced slightly because of probable errors in the gage record prior to installation of permanent gage in February, 1914.

Cooperation. Gage-height records furnished by Ham, Yearsley & Ryrie.

The following discharge measurement was made by James E. Stewart: 

December 23,1912: Gage height, 7.72 feet; discharge, 14,600 second-feet; includes 

200 second-feet, discharge of Sullivan Creek.

Daily gage Jteigfyt, in feet, of Clark Fork at Metaline Falls, Wash., for the year ending

Sept. SO, 1913.

Records available. July 11 to October 31,1911; January 19 to November 9, 1912, 

when station was discontinued.

Drainage area. 38 square miles.

Gage. Chain fastened to posts on left bank installed June 18, 1912. Previous to 

that date a vertical staff fastened to a tree and ledge rock on left bank, about 300 

feet downstream, was used. New gage is referred to different datum.

Channel and control. Rock; probably permanent; channel at old gage divided 

by a large rock.

Discharge measurements. Made by wading.

Winter flow. Discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

Diversion. Water diverted above station for mining. A placer ditch takes out 

immediately below. The State of Montana is building a flume to carry water 

from a point near the gage for development of power to light the State buildings, 

at Deer Lodge. Below the station nearly the entire flow is diverted from the 

stream for irrigation.

Accuracy. Results good at new gage. Gage heights on old gage were affected by 

diversion of water from one channel to the other by means of ice or debris lodging 

across either channel.

Cooperation. Field data furnished by the United States Forest Service.

Daily gage height, in feet, and discharge, in second-feet, of Racetrack Creek near Anaconda, 

Mont., for the period Oct. 1 to Nov. 9, 1912.

NOTE. Discharge determined as follows: May 11, 1912, to May 11, 1913, and May 31 to July 19,1913, 

from a rating curve fairly well denned between 44 and 600 second-feet, and poorly defined outside those 

limits; May 12-30,1913, from a parallel curve through measurement of May 16, 1913; July 20 to Sept. 9, 

1913, by methods devised for shifting channels; Sept. 10-30, from a parallel curve through measurement 

of Sept. 10, 1913. Discharge estimates July 20 to Sept. 30,1913. approximate, as discharge measurement 

of Sept. 10 is of doubtful accuracy. Discharge interpolated for days for which gage heights are missing. 

Discharge table for May 11 to Sept. 30,1912, supersedes that published in Water-Supply Paper 332,

JOCKO EIVER NEAR JOCKO, MONT.

Location. At a highway bridge about 1J miles north of the Jocko Agency. Below 

Big Knife and Blodgett creeks, and above Finley, Agency, and Valley creeks.

Records available. August 20, 1908, to September 30, 1913.

Drainage area. Not measured.

Gage. Staff attached to middle pier of bridge.

Channel and control. Practically permanent at ordinary stages.

Discharge measurements. Made by wading, from the highway bridge, or from 

foot log.

Winter flow. Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice.

Diversions. Jocko canal diverts about 2 miles above the station; Big Knife canal 

diverts from Big Knife Creek and Indian ditch diverts from East Finley Creek. 

Several other small ditches take water from Jocko River and tributaries. Jocko 

canal diverted 8,280 acre-feet during the period June to September, 1913; Big 

Knife canal diverted 2,540 acre-feet during the same period.

Accuracy. Rating curve well defined; records excellent except for lack of daily 

gage heights.

The following discharge measurement was made by J. M. Ray: 

September 11,1913: Gage height, 7.33 feet; discharge, 119 second-feet.
SURFACE WATEB SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

FINLEY CREEK: NEAR JOCKO, MONT.

Location. At a ford about one-eighth of a mile below junction of East and West 

forks, 300 feet south of the Northern Pacific Railway, about 3J miles southwest of 

Jocko.

Records available. August 19,1908, to September 30,1913.

Drainage area. Not measured.

Gage. Staff, nailed to tree on right bank near ford.

Channel and control. Shifting during floods.

Discharge measurements. Made by wading.
108 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

Winter flow. Discharge relation probably affected by ice. No records obtained.

Diversions. Indian ditch diverts water from East Finley Creek just below the station 

on that stream. Beginning in August, 1911, a Reclamation Service ditch diverted 

from East Finley Creek above the gaging station for the rest of the season.

Accuracy. Results only fair because of lack of daily gage readings.

110 SUBFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

EAST FINLEY CREEK NEAR JOCKO, MONT.

Location. Just above the intake of Indian ditch, 4 miles southwest of Jocko.

Records available. August 18, 1908, to July 31, 1911; January 31, 1912, to September 30,1913.

Channel and control. Slightly shifting.

Discharge measurements. Made by wading.

Winter flow. Discharge relation probably affected by ice.

Diversions. Indian ditch, which diverts below the station, takes practically the 

entire low-water flow. A Reclamation Service ditch heading above the station is 

capable of taking practically the entire flow, but was not used during 1912 and 

1913.

Accuracy. Results good, except for lack of daily gage heights.

INDIAN DITCH NEAR JOCKO, MONT.

Location. Just below intake, about 150 feet below gage on East Finley Creek, and 

about 4 miles southwest of Jocko.

Records available. August 18,1908, to July 31,1911; January 31,1912, to September 30, 1913.

Gage. Staff, located in the flume just below the intake. New gage installed May 14, 

1913, 100 feet below intake.
112 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

Discharge measurements. Made in the flume or by wading in the ditch. 

Diversions. From July 31, 1911, to the end of the season the water in East Finley

Creek was diverted into a new ditch built by the Reclamation Service, which'

heads above the intake of Indian ditch, and also the gage on East Finley Creek.

No records were kept on East Finley Creek or Indian ditch from July 31,1911, to

the end of the year. 

Accuracy. Results good except for lack of daily gage heights.

Indian ditch takes water from East Finley Creek. It is about 4 miles long and irrigates land in the vicinity of Jocko Agency.

118 SUEFACE WATEE SUPPLY, 1913, PAET XII.

PEIEST EIVEE AT OUTLET OP PEIEST LAKE, AT COOLIN, IDAHO.

Location. In the SE. £ sec. 9, T. 59 N., B. 4 W., at the southeast end of Priest Lake, 

at the town of Coolin, about 2 miles southeast of the outlet

Records available. June 18, 1911, to September 30,1913; fragmentary.

Drainage area. 672 square miles.

Elevation. Low-water stage of lake 2,435 feet above sea level.

Gages. June 18, 1911, to April 6, 1912, and July 13, 1912, to January 8, 1913, two 

vertical staff gages attached to piers of the wharf at Coolin. These gages were 

not accurately referred to bench marks and both were torn out by ice; after April 

18, 1913, inclined staff gage about 200 feet east of the wharf and 200 feet north of 

Northern Hotel, and vertical staff on right bank 500 feet below outlet.

Channel and control. One channel at outlet with rocky bed and high banks; 

probably permanent.

Discharge measurements. Prior to September 17, 1913, made from a boat at 

outlet; after that date made from a cable.

Winter flow. Lake is usually frozen over from January 1 to April 15.

Diversions. None.

Storage. Natural, in lake.

Accuracy. Gage heights June 18,1911, to April 6,1912, valuable only to show relative 

rise and fall of lake in open season. One current-meter measurement was referred 

to the gage used July 13, 1912, to January 8, 1913, and approximate estimates for 

this period have been made by means of a comparison with the gagea installed 

April 18, 1913. A rating curve applicable to the gage at the outlet has been 

developed and transferred to the inclined gage at Coolin by means of a curve of 

relation between the two gages. Wind on lake causes changes in stage at Coolin 

without corresponding changes at outlet; as the discrepancy may not be cotoapensating a rating curve based on gage heights for inclined gage at Coolin may 

be considerably in error.

Cooperation. Gage-height record furnished by United States Forest Service.

SPOKANE RIVER AT POST FALLS, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 4, T. 50 N., R. 5 W., about one-third mile below Washington 

Water Power Co.'s power plant, about a mile below Post Falls, and three-fourths 

mile below intake of the Spokane Valley Land & Water Co.'s canal.

Records available. January 1 to September 30, 1913.

Drainage area. Not measured.

Gage. Vertical staff in three sections on left bank.

Channel and control. Gravel and small bowlders; banks high; one channel at 

all stages; channel shifts only at extreme stages.
132 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

Discharge measurements. Made from cable about 500 feet below gage. 

Winter flow. Discharge relation unaffected by ice. 

Regulation. Flow partly controlled by storage in Coeur d'Alene Lake. 

Diversions. The Spokane Valley Land & Water Co.'s canal diverts water from the

river about three-fourths mile above the gage. 

Accuracy. Measuring conditions are favorable, but accuracy of results, based on

one gage reading a day, is reduced somewhat by diurnal fluctuation caused by the

operation of the power plant. 

Cooperation. Gage-height record and some discharge measurements furnished by

Washington Water Power Co.

Discharge measurements of Spokane River at Post Falls, Idaho, during the years ending

Sept. SO, 1911-1913.

146 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

LITTLE SPOKANE RIVER NEAR SPOKANE, WASH.

Location. In the SE.'i sec. 32, T. 27 N., E. 42 E., at a county highway bridge half 

a mile above the mouth and about 12 miles northwest of Spokane. Prior to 

April 2,1913, at Norman's ranch, about one-fourth mile above the highway bridge.

Records available. January 24, 1911, to December 15, 1913, when station was discontinued. Records for August 3, 1903, to March 31, 1905, were obtained at the 

second bridge, about 2 miles above the mouth.

Drainage area. 664 square miles.

Gage. Stevens water-stage recorder on right bank about 150 feet below the bridge. 

Gage at Norman's ranch was a vertical staff on left bank, spiked to back of milk 

house. Both gages were referred to sea-level datum.

Channel and control. Banks low, but overflow only during extreme stages; bed 

composed of sand and small bowlders; probably shifting. Discharge relation at 

. times affected by growth of aquatic plants in channel and on control.

Discharge measurements. Made from the highway bridge or by wading.

Winter flow. Discharge relation apparently not affected by ice.

Diversions and storage. None.

Accuracy. Rating curve not developed for gage at Norman's ranch. Results excellent for station at highway bridge.

Cooperation. Gage-height record furnished by Washington Water Power Co.

Discharge measurements of Little Spokane River near Spokane, Wash., for 1911-1913.

160 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PAET XII.

SALMON CREEK NEAR CONCONULLY, WASH.1

Location. In sec. 18, T. 35 N., B. 25 E., abouthalf a mile below Conconully reservoir 

of United States Reclamation Service Okanogan project, 2 miles south of Conconully and about 14 miles above Okanogan.

Records available. July 6, 1910, to September 30, 1913. From May 27, 1903, to 

March 31,1912, records were obtained at Jones ranch in sec. 31, T. 34 N., R.26 E., 

about 6 miles above Okanogan.

Drainage area. 121 square miles (revised); 152 square miles at Jones ranch.

Gage. Vertical staff indicating head on a weir.

Channel and control. 20-foot rectangular, sharp-crested weir with two end contractions. Prior to October 1, 1912, a 20-foot Cippoletti weir was used.

Discharge measurements. Made from a footbridge near the gage.

Winter flow. Discharge relation not affected by ice.

Storage. Flow completely controlled by storage in Salmon Lake reservoir, capacity 

2,600 acre-feet, and Conconully reservoir, capacity 13,000 acre-feet. Monthly 

summaries of flow for 1912 and 1913 have been corrected fer storage.

Diversions. None above the station.

Accuracy. Theoretical discharge curve for the weir has been modified by currentmeter observations to determine the velocity of approach. Discharge for days 

when reservoir gates are changed determined by weighting discharge values.

Cooperation. Field data furnished by United States Reclamation Service.

Daily gage height, in feet, of Salmon Creek near Conconully, Wash., for the year ending

Sept. SO, 1913.

CHEWACK CREEK AT WINTHROP, WASH.

Location. In sec. 2, T. 34 N., R. 21 E., at the county bridge at Winthrop, Wash., 

about one-fourth mile above mouth of stream.

Records available. April 4, 1912, to September 30, 1913, when station was discontinued.

Drainage area. 595 square miles.

Gage. Vertical staff on right bank 10 feet above highway bridge.

Channel and control. Solid rock and large bowlders; high, clean banks; probably 

permanent.
164 SURFACE WATEB SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII..

Discharge measurements. Made from the county bridge or by wading.

Winter flow. Stream frozen for several months each year. No records obtained.

Diversions. Water for irrigation is diverted by several ditches above the gage. 

The Fulton ditch (capacity about 17 second-feet) and the Chewacfc ditch (capacity 

10 second-feet) divert water past the station. In October, 1913, after the close 

of the irrigating season these canals were carrying 20 per cent of the total flow of 

the stream past the gage, returning it to the main river below. The Skyline ditch 

(capacity 50 second-feet), now under construction, will divert around the station.

Storage. None.

Accuracy. Conditions for measuring high stages only fair; results good except in 

winter.

Cooperation. Gage-height record furnished by F. F. Venzky, civil engineer, of 

Winthrop, Wash.

UPPER COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN. 199

YAKIMA EIVEE AT UNION GAP, NEAR YAKIMA, WASH.1

Location. In sec. 17, T. 12 N., R. 19 E., at Union Gap, about a mile south of Yakima 

City, 600 feet below the mouth of Ahtanum Creek, and 600 feet above the New 

Reservation canal (the proposed Wapato Unit canal).

Records available. August 19, 1895, to December 31, 1909; April 1, 1911, to September 30, 1913. Some fragmentary records for 1893 and 1894.

Drainage area. 3,550 square miles.

Gage. Stevens water-gage recorder installed July 29, 1912; vertical and inclined 

staff fixed to stilling box. Original gage established August 14, 1893, was an 

inclined and vertical staff. Several staff gages were read at different times but 

the same datum was maintained prior to December 31,1909, when the station wag 

discontinued; when reestablished April 1, 1911, the gage was set at an entirely 

new datum.

Channel and control. Shifts in floods; changes in rating curve frequent. A 

by-channel carries a small part of the flow at high stages.

Discharge measurements. Made from cable at the gage. Prior to 1908 measurements were made from a car and cable 1,000 feet below the old county bridge.

Regulation. Flow partly regulated by storage and release of water at the lakes near 

the headwaters and from Bumping Lake reservoir on Bumping River, a tributary 

of Naches River.

Winter flow. Discharge relation occasionally seriously affected by ice,

Cooperation. Records furnished by United States Reclamation Service.

Records obtained at this station show water passing through Union Gap except 20 

to 25 second-feet that has been diverted past the gage since 1906 by the Union Gap 

Irrigation Co. for the irrigation of bench lands above the Sunnyside canal.

Discharge measurements of Yakima River at Union Gap, near YaMma, Wash., during the

year ending Sept, SO, 1913.

places in each of the three columns.
UPPER COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN. 215

TEANAWAY RIVER NEAR OLE ELUM, WASH.

Location. In the NW. J sec. 3, T. 19 N., R. 16 E., at lower Teanaway highway

bridge, about one-half mile above mouth and 4J miles east of Cle Elum. 

Drainage area. 205 square miles. 

B-ecords available. April 2, 1909, to October 15, 1911; May 21, 1912, to September

30, 1913.

Gage. Chain gage attached to the guard rail of the highway bridge. 

Discharge measurements. Made by wading or from downstream guard rail of

highway bridge; conditions at high stages very poor.

Channel and control. Bed clay and gravel; shifts greatly at high water. 

Winter flow. Discharge relation affected by ice and logs; discharge for winter

months is generally estimated by comparison with records of streams on adjacent

drainage basing and is subject to error. 

Diversions. Below all diversions for irrigation; three ditches divert water entirely

out of Teanaway Valley and their return water does not pass station. 

Regulation. Flow affected by storage and release of water by Cascade Lumber Co.

in its splash dams on forks of river 20 miles above gage. 

Cooperation. Records furnished by United States Reclamation Service.

Discharge measurements of Teanaway River near Cle Elum, Wash., during the year ending

NOTE. For discharge of Tieton canal, see p. 235.

TIETON EIVEE AT COBB's EANCH, NEAE ]jfACHES, WASH.

Location. In sec. 3, T. 14 N., R. 16 E., at Cobb's ranch IJOO feet below Oak Creek,

2 miles above mouth of river, and 5 miles west of Naches. 

Records available. April 24, 1902, to July 10, 1907; Apil 21, 1909, to September

30, 1913.

Drainage area. 297 square miles below and 264 square rciles above Oak Creek. 

Gage. Chain gage on cantilever beam on left bank since March 5, 1910; April 21,

1909, to March 4,. 1910, an inclined staff a short distance upstream from present

gage, and at same datum. Prior to April 21, 1909, gage was at various places as 

. outlined in previous reporta.
282 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

Channel and control. Solid rock overlain with gravel bars which shift considerably 

during high stages.

Discharge measurements. Made from cables at various sites and from highway 

bridge at Reclamation Service Camp No. 1; present cable is 60 feet below gage.

Winter flow. Discharge relation probably not affected by ice.

Diversions. The Tieton canal has diverted past station since irrigation period of 1910.

Accuracy. Estimates prior to July 1, 1902, uncertain on account of shift in channel. 

Gage-height records fragmentary and at times not thoroughly reliable; results 

fairly good. A comparison of records with those at headworks of Tieton canal 

apparently indicates a slight underflow past gage and measuring section.

Cooperation. Records furnished by United States Reclamation Service.

SIMCOE CREEK NEAR FORT SIMCOE, WASH.

Location. In sec. 34, T. 11 N., R. 16 E., just above Spring Creek, at a proposed

reservoir1 site 4 miles northeast of Fort Simcoe. 

Drainage area. 77 square miles, revised value. 

Records available. February 28, 1909, to September 30, 1913. 

Gage. Vertical staff since March 24, 1910. Prior to that date a chain gage at same

site.

Discharge measurements. Made from a foot-log or by wading near the gage. 

Channel and control. Sand and gravel; somewhat shifting. 

Winter now. Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice. 

Accuracy. Results only fair because of lack of daily gage heights and shifting

stream-bed.

254 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

SATUS CREEK NEAR TOPPENISH, WASH.

Location. In sec. 26, T. 9 N., E. 19 E., about 1,000 feet below the crossing of the 

Toppenish-Goldendale road, 1 mile above the mouth of Dry Creek, and 6 miles 

below the mouth of Logy Creek; 4 miles west and 10 miles south of Toppenish.

Records available. November 5, 1908, to June 30, 1913, when station was discontinued.

Drainage area. 254 square miles, revised value.

Gage. Vertical staff in two sections.

Channel and control. Solid rock and heavy gravel; practically permanent.

Discharge measurements. Made from a cable 150 feet below gage or by wading.

Winter flow. Occasional ice gorges; discharge relation probably not seriously 

affected.

Diversion. Water diverted about 6 miles above gage for irrigating 100 acres of 

alfalfa.

Accuracy. Eesults only fair because of lack of daily gage heights.

The following discharge measurement was made by F. B. Storey: 

April 8, 19*13: Gage height, 1.80 feet; discharge, 221 second-feet.

Daily gage height, in feet, of Satus Creek near Toppenish, Wash., for the year ending

Sept. 30, 1913.

256 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

RESERVATION DRAIN AT ALFALFA, WASH.

Location. In sec. 29, T. 10 N., R. 21 E., at the highway bridge on the ToppenishMabton road, one-fourth mile southeast of Alfalfa station of the Northern Pacific

Railway, about 2 miles above the mouth of drain. 

Records' available. December 5, 1912, to September 30, 1913; miscellaneous

measurements during 1911 and 1912.

Gage. Vertical staff attached to a pile under the highway bridge. 

Channel and control. Composed of gravel; shifts slightly; current swift. 

Discharge measurements. Made from footbridge just above high way bridge at

mouth of drain, 2 miles below gage. 

Winter flow. Ice does not form at this station. 

Accuracy. Gage heights may be affected by backwater from Yakima River when the

river is at a high stage. Gage height record not entirely reliable. 

Cooperation. Station maintained in cooperation with United States Indian Service.

The discharge includes the return water from irrigation by the reservation canals 

and the underflow of Toppenish Valley. During the low-water period practically the 

whole flow of Toppenish Creek is carried into this canal by underground seepage.

Discharge measurements of Reservation drain at Alfalfar Wash., during the year ending

Sept. 30, 1913.

SNAKE RIVER.

261

SNAKE RIVER AT SOUTH BOUNDARY OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL

PARK.

Location. About one-fourth mile below junction of Lewis and Snake rivers, half a 

mile nonh of the south boundary of Yellowstone National Park, approximately

25 miles north of Moran, Wyo., and 23 miles south of the west thumb oi Yellowstone Lake.

Records available. June 19 \o September 30,1913. 

Drainage area. 490 square miles. 

Gage. Overhanging chain gag 3 on right bank.

Channel and control. Gravol; probably permanent at ordinary stages. 

Discharge measurements. Made by wading or from highway bridg0 4 miles

downstream. 

Winter flow. Discharge relation probably unaffected by ice because of tributary

hot springs and rapids which break up floating ice cakes before they i-each the

station. 

Accuracy. Results good for low stages; high-stage records may be in error oh account

of lack of sufficient measurements. 

Cooperation. Gage read bynoncommissoned officer, United States ArmyJ in charge

of the Snake River Soldier Station.

The following discharge measurement was made by R. C. Pierce: 

September 11, 1913: Gage height, 2.48 feet; dischage, 630 second-feet.

SNAKE RIVER NEAR HEISE, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 5, T. 3 N., K. 41 E., about 600 feet above the Anderson dam, a 

crib-and-stone diversion structure, about 3 miles above Heise, and about 25 

miles below the station formerly maintained near Lyon. Several small creeks 

enter between the Lyon and Heise stations.

Records available. September 25, 1910, to September 30, 1913. Station maintained near Lyon April 18,1903, to December 31, 1911.

Drainage area. Not measured.
266 SUEFACE WATEE SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

Gage. Vertical staff on left bank, October 1 to July 8. Friez automatic water-stage

recorder, July 9 to September 30 referred to same datum. 

Channel and control. Channel under the cable shifts, but the Anderson dam

controls the discharge relation. This relation has been affected at times by repair

work on the dam and damage to the crest by high water and ice. 

Discharge measurements. Made from a cable about 100 feet below the gage. 

Winter flow. Discharge relation seriously affected by Ice. 

Regulation. Flow regulated by storage in Jackson Lake. 

Diversions. A small ditch diverts water around the station, but its maximum

capacity is probably not over 20 second-feet. 

Accuracy. Results good.

NOTE. 6,100 feet should be added to the above figures to reduce them to height above sea level.

BLACKFOOT RIVER NEAR HENRY, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 11, T. 5 S., R. 40 E., about 200 feet below the wagon bridge at 

Rocky Ford crossing, about 1 mile below the Blackfoot Marsh dam of the United 

States Indian Service, and 12 miles northwest of Henry. Soda Springs, about 

30 miles south, is the most convenient railroad station.

Records available.-July 15, 1908, to September 30, 1913.

Drainage area. Not measured.

Gage. Friez water-stage recorder installed September 18, 1912, at site of old staff 

gage on left bank of stream and set to read the same as the old gage. Datum of 

the staff gage, however, is at present 0.11 foot lower than when the gage was 

installed in 1908. Plotting of measurements seemed to indicate that the change 

occurred at latest prior to 1911 Gage heights for all years have been published 

as actually read.

Channel and control. Lava bowlders, gravel, and bedrock; bed at times covered 

with aquatic plants.

Discharge measurements. Made by wading or from cable. Cable moved about 

500 feet upstream June 22, 1913.

Winter flow. Discharge relation occasionally affected by ice.

Diversions. None between dam and station.

Accuracy. Estimates of daily discharge approximate because of ice or of aquatic 

plants in channel, but sufficient measurements have been made to make monthly 

estimates reliable.

BIG LOST EIVER NEAE CHILLY, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 30, T. 8 N., R. 21 E., at Howell's ranch, about 12 miles southwest 

of Chilly and about 30 miles above Mackay.

Records available. April 25, 1904, to August 31, 1906; July 1, 1907, to September 

30, 1913.

Drainage area. Not measured.

Gage. Vertical staff on left bank. Prior to June 7,1912, a vertical staff on the left 

bank 100 feet below the present gage and at different datum.

Channel and control. Coarse gravel; practically permanent.

Discharge measurements. Made from a cable half a mile below the gage.

Winter flow. Discharge relation seriously affected by ice; gage-height observations 

suspended during the period when ice is present.

Diversions. Above all important diversions. Two small ditches divert occasionally 

between the gage and the cable, but their maximum capacity is not over 5 secondfeet.

Accuracy. Results fairly reliable.

BIG LOST EIVEE NEAE MACKAY, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 17, T. 7 N., E. 24 E., at A. D. Streeter's ranch, about 2J miles

below the Mackay dam and about 2 miles above Mackay. 

Records available. April 29 to September 30, 1913, at present site; November 12,

1903, to September 1, 1906, and June 6, 1912, to April 28,1913, at Olson's bridge,

1 mile upstream. The flow in Streeter ditch must be added to that shown by

records April 29 to September 30, 1913, to make them comparable with previous

records.

Drainage area. Not measured. 

Gage. Vertical staff on left bank at A. D. Streeter's house April 29 to September 30,

1913. Vertical staff on left bank, 50 feet above Olson's bridge, 1 mile upstream,

June 6, 1912, to April 28, 1913.

Channel and control. Rocky at both sites; fairly permanent. 

Discharge measurements. Made by wading or from cable and car 600 feet below

the gage at Olson's bridge. When measured from cable the flow in Streeter ditch

must be deducted.

Winter flow. Discharge relation not affected by ice. 

Diversions. Sharp ditch diverts water between the Mackay dam and Olson's bridge,

and Streoter ditch between Olson's bridge and present site of gage. 

Accuracy. Records fairly good.

SHARP DITCH NEAR MACKAY, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 12, T. 7 N., R. 23 E., about 250 feet below head gates and 200 feet 

below old rating flume and original gage; about one-half mile below the Mackay 

dam and 3J miles above Mackay. Sharp ditch diverts from Big Lost River.

Records available. June 6, 1912, to September 30, 1913.

Gage. Staff installed June 26, 1913, below a small wasteway, to replace original 

gage, which was on old rating flume. No determined relation between old and 

new datum.
SNAKE RIVER BASIN. 319

Channel and control. Gravel and sand; poorly defined and likely to be affected

by growth of aquatic plants.

Discharge measurements. Made by wading or from a plank. 

Winter flow. Observations discontinued. 

Diversions. Present gage is below a small wasteway. 

Accuracy. Results only fair because of discrepancies caused by growth of aquatic

plants. Accuracy of records May 8 to June 24 very doubtful on account of unstable

Station maintained for purpose of determining total flow of Big Lost River in 

vicinity of Mackay dam.

CEDAR CREEK ABOVE THE FORKS, NEAR MACKAY, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 35, T. 8 N., R. 24 E., about 800 feet above the intake of the 

Mackay Light & Power CO.'B diversion and 6 miles northeast of Mackay post office. 

The fork which enters below the station is short, but ihe discharge is maintained 

by the flow from a large spring.

Records available. October 20, 1911, to March 31, 1913.

Drainage area. About 6 square miles.

Gage. Vertical staff on left bank directly above the forks. A new gage was installed 

a short distance upstream on Jauary 20, 1912, and has >een noted as upper or new 

gage. This gage was used October 1, 1912, to July 22, 1913. Gage was washed 

out by high water some time between July 22 and August 21.

Channel and control. Rough and rocky; sand fills in

has steep grade.

Discharge measurements. Made from old bridge or by wading. 

Winter flow. Gage heights at upper gage apparently not affected by ice, but flow

is only about 0.5 second-foot and is very uniform. 

Diversions. Water for power development, diverted by the Mackay Light & Power

Co., about 800 feet below, is returned to the creek at the power house. 

Accuracy. Gage read infrequently; results approximate. 

Cooperation. Gage heights furnished by the United Ste/tes Forest Service.

CAMAS CREEK NEAR HAMER, IDAHO.

Location. In the SE. \ sec. 24, T. 7 N., R. 35 E., at bridge at Kendrick ranch, 6

miles west of Hamer, and 6 miles above Mud Lake. 

Records available. April 23, 1912, to March 15, 1913, when the station was

discontinued.

Drainage area. Not measured. 

Gage. Vertical staff on downstream side of bridge. 

Channel and control. Mud bottom, covered with aquatic plants. 

Discharge measurements. Made from a bridge or by wading.
336 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, M3, PART XII.

Winter flow. Discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

Diversions. Ranch ditches divert water above station.

Accuracy. Results only approximate because of low velocity, growth of aquatic 

plants, drift, and ice. The quantity of water flowing into Mud Lake from Camas 

Creek is probably greater than that indicated by records because of springs below 

station.

PORTNEUF RIVER NEAR PEBBLE, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 26, T. 7 S., R. 38 E., at the ranch of W. A. .Gamble, 3 miles north 

of Pebble post office. Topons Creek enters the river about 6 miles above the 

station, and also a number of springs between the station and the storage dam 

of the Portneuf-Marsh Valley Irrigation Co. about 9 miles upstream.

Records available. September 8, 1910, to August 15, 1913, when station was 

discontinued.
336 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART1 Xll.

Drainage area. Not measured.

Gage. Vertical staff on left bank in two sections, bolted to rock, about 100 yards

below the ranch house. 

Channel and control. Gravel and small bowlders; fairly permanent. Moss collects

in the bed of stream. 

Discharge measurements. Made from a suspension footbridge at the gage or by

wading.

Winter flow. Discharge relation apparently little affected by ice. 

Diversions and storage. Topons Creek, which enters 6 miles above, is partly

diverted into the reservoir, which has a storage capacity of about 28,000 acre-feet.

The Portneuf-Marsh Valley Irrigation Co.'s canal diverts water from the river

about 14 miles below station. Small ranch ditches divert above and below

station. 

Accuracy. Moss affects discharge relation. Sufficient measurements have been

obtained to make the computations reliable.

ranch and 2 miles above Bridge.

Records available. September 18, 1909, to September 30, 1913. 

Gage. Inclined staff on right bank since February 24, 1911, and an auxiliary staff

in a high-water channel. Prior to that date two different gages at Hawkins'

ranch, about 2 miles above, were read one September 18, 1909, to February 28,

1910, and the other March 15, 1910, to January 30, 1911.
SNAKE EIVEE BASIN. 347

Channel and control. Gravel; shifting in floods; high-water channel dammed 

off during irrigation season, but dam is likely to go out during floods.

Discharge measurements. Made from bridges across the various sloughs or by 

wading.

Winter flow. Discharge relation affected by ice.

Diversions. Small ranch diversions above station; mostly flood-water rights.

Accuracy. Results good, except during period when stream was frozen.

GOOSE CREEK ABOVE TRAPPER CREEK, NEAR OAKLEY, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 13, T. 15 S., R. 21 E., about 200 feet above the upper dam site

on Goose Greek, 5 miles above Trapper Creek, and about 10 miles south of Oakley. 

Records available. April 29, 1911, to September 30,1913. 

Drainage area. Not measured. 

Gage. Friez water-stage recorder. On July 30, 1912, conditions were changed by

a flood and after August 22,1912, records were obtained from a new gage about

200 feet upstream and at a new datum. The automatic gage was moved to the

new location. 

Channel and control. Fairly permanent until July 30, 1912, when debris was

washed in from a gully below. The control at the new station is rocky and should

be permanent.

Discharge measurements. Made from a cable 250 feet upstream or by wading. 

Winter flow. Discharge relation affected by ice. 

Accuracy. Results rather poor because of uncertainty of gage heights. 

Cooperation. Gage-height record and some discharge measurements furnished, by

the Twin Falls-Oakley Land & Water Co.

BIG WOOD RIVER NEAR SHOSHONE, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 17, T. 5 S., R. 17 E., at A. D. Silva's ranch, 1 mile below the steel 

wagon bridge and 7 milea northwest of Shoshone; 24 miles below the Magic 

dam. No tributaries between this station and that below North Gooding diversion.

Records available. June 5, 1905, to August 15, 1913, when station was discontinued.

Drainage area. Not measured.
372 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

Gage. Vertical staff on right bank about 10 feet below the new bridge, which was

built in the fall of 1910. 

Channel and control. Rocky; permanent.

Discharge measurements. Made from a cable about 100 yards above gage. 

Winter flow. Discharge relation affected by ice; stream freezes over at station. 

Diversions. No important diversions between North Gooding station and this

station. Ranch ditches divert below.

Regulation. Water is impounded 24 miles above the station by the Magic dam. 

Accuracy. Results for open channel reliable. Accuracy of records for periods

during which ice was present somewhat approximate. Records for period during

and since the construction of Magic dam may contain errors due to regulation at

that point.

OWYHEE CANAL NEAR OWYHEE, OREG.

Location. In sec. 6, T. 21 S., R. 46 E., at Wilson's ranch, 2J miles below the 

headgatee of the canal, 5 miles above Owyhee, about 6 miles above the Owyhee 

River bridge, and about 15 miles southwest of Nyssa.
SNAKE EIVEB BASIN. 413

Records available. May to October, 1904; May to September, 1905; October 5, 

1911, to September 30, 1913.

Gage. Inclined staff on right bank at the wagon bridge. Gage used during 1904-5 

was on left bank about one-fourth mile upstream from present gage.

Channel and control. Smooth dirt section; shifting at high stages.

Diversions. Between the gage in the canal and the station on Owyhee River two 

wasteways return surplus water to the river, one about one-fourth mile below the 

present gage. Two small ditches, with a combined capacity probably not exceeding 3 second-feet divert from the main canal above the present station.

Discharge measurements. Made from the bridge or by wading.

Winter flow. Canal freezes occasionally, but the discharge is generally small at 

that time.

Accuracy. Results fair except when ice is present.

LOST CREEK NEAR TAMARACK, IDAHO.

Location. In. sec. 28, T. 19 N., R. 1W., about a quarter of a mile below dam of Lost

Valley reservoir, 6 miles southwest of Tamarack, and 20 miles by road north of

Council. 

Records available. Gage-height records, 1911 to 1913, fragmentary. Total run-off

for 1910 and 1911 has been computed from data furnished by the Weiser Valley

Land & Water Co. 

Drainage area. 30 square miles. 

Gage. Vertical staff on left bank during 1911; Barrett & Lawrence water stage

recorder on right bank during 1912 and 1913. 

Channel and control. Rough; practically permanent. 

Discharge measurements. Made from a foot log. 

Diversions. None between dam and station. 

Regulation. Lost Valley reservoir, a quarter of a mile above the station, is reported

to have an available capacity of 13,000 acre-feet. Flow at the station is almost

entirely controlled by the regulation of the gates at the dam. 

Accuracy. Rating curve fairly well defined, but the uncertainties in the gage-height

record make estimates of discharge for 1913 only approximate.

Figures of daily gage height and discharge are open to so much uncertainty they 

are not published.

It is possible that the gage was reading 0.4 foot too high May 12 to June 2, which, would make the meat* 

discharge for May about 50 per cent too large,

NOTE. Determination of mean gage height rather difficult during short periods early in the spring on 

account of diurnal fluctuations; at other times such fluctuations are not marked. Rating curve May 20 to 

June 19 fairly well denned; June 20 to Sept. 30, well denned. Discharge interpolated June 18-19 on account 

of doubtful gage heights.

PAHSIMEROI RIVER BELOW THE SINKS, NEAR GOLDBURG, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 34, T. 13 N., R. 23 E., about one-eighth, mile above the mouth 

of Goldburg Creek, about 2 miles west of Goldburg, and below the stretch of 

channel into which the water sinks for much of the distance between the mouth 

of Burnt Creek and Goldburg Creek.

Becords available. June 24 to September 6, 1913.

Drainage area. Not measured.

Gage. Vertical staff.

Channel and control. Gravel; fairly permanent.

Discharge measurements. Made by wading.

Diversions. Several small ditches divert water above the station, among them one 

which passes water around the sinks by conveying it across the low divide east 

of Pahsimeroi River into Goldburg Creek, down which it flows back to the 

Pahsimeroi.

Accuracy. Results fair.

WALLOWA LAKE NEAR JOSEPH, OREG.

Location. In sec. 5, T. 3 S., R. 45 E., near outlet of Wallowa Lake, about 1 mile 

above Joseph.

Records available. July 15,1905, to July 28,1906; January 13,1912, to September 

30,1913.

Lake area. 1,528 acres at low water and 1,548 acres at high water as determined by 

surveys made for State water board in 1915.

Gage. Vertical staff spiked to shore side of pile supporting boathouse some distance 

above dam at outlet. The gage used in 1905-6 was placed on upstream side of 

dam at outlet. Its datum was the floor of the sluiceway. No determined relation 

between the gage used in 1905-6 and present gage.

Storage. Wallowa Lake reservoir is operated for the benefit of four ditches which 

divert between the lake and Joseph. The reservoir is allowed to remain practically empty during the winter and is filled during the flood run-off in May and 

June and emptied during August and September. The usual variation in level 

has been about 6.5 feet.

Daily gage height, in feet, of Wallowa Lake near Joseph, Oreg.,for the year ending Sept.

SO, 1913.

WALLOWA RIVER AT JOSEPH, OKEG.

511

Location. In sec. 5, T. 3 S., R. 45 E., about 300 feet below the controlling dam at 

the outlet of Wallowa Lake and 50 feet above footbridge; about half a mile above 

Joseph. Above the headgates of four irrigation ditches, the first taking out 125 

feet below gage.

Records available. November 12, 1903, to September 30, 1913.

Drainage area. 52 square miles.

Gage. Vertical staff bolted to. a large bowlder on right bank.

Channel and control. Bed composed of gravel and bowlders; slightly shifting; 

banks seldom overflow; current swift and velocities uneven across section.

Discharge measurements. Made by wading.

Winter flow. Discharge relation unaffected by ice on account of proximity to lake 

outlet.

Regulation. About 10,000 acre-feet of storage developed in Wallowa Lake; additional development possible. Beginning with January, 1912, the monthly estimates have been corrected for storage.

Accuracy. Results reliable.

The following discharge measurement was made by J. E. Stewart at a time when 

the discharge was temporarily reduced at dam to allow repairs to be made: 

June 19, 1913: Gage height, 2.46 feet; discharge, 186 second-feet.

Daily gage height, in feet, of Wallowa River at Joseph, Oreg.,for the year ending Sept. 30,

1913.

SNAKE RIVER BASIN. 519

CLEARWATER RIVER, NEAR LEWISTON, IDAHO.

Location. In sec. 28, T. 36 N., E. 5 W., at Central Ferry, 3 miles above Lewiston

and 4 miles above mouth of river.

Records available. August 23,1910, to September 30,1913. 

Drainage area. 9,640 square miles.

Gage. Staff in five vertical secti.ons, reading from 0.0 to 15.0 feet. 

Channel and control. Bowlders and gravel; likely to shift during high water.

Two channels at high water. 

Discharge measurements. M&de from standard gaging car suspended from

central ferry; also from a cable and car across high-water channel. 

Winter fLovr. Some floating ice] but discharge relation is probably not affected. 

Diversions. None. 

Accuracy. Rating curve well defined; accuracy reduced because of uncertainties

in stability of gage sections aid the possibility of backwater from Snake River.

The"following discharge measurement was made by J. E. Stewart, January 1, 1913: 

Gage height, 2.57 feet; discharge, 4,580 second-feet.

Daily gage height, in feet, of Clear\water River near Lewiston, Idaho, for the year ending

Sept. 30, 1913.

States Geological Survey, made up of several sections attached to the piling of 

the viaduct connecting Regulator Dock with the warehouse; the United States 

Army Engineers' gage, similar in form but with a datum 8.9 feet lower than the 

Brooks gage. Gage at Cascade Locks, 20 miles below The Dalles, which was 

used in working up early records, has been located at various points, but is at 

present attached to the side of wooden fender of upper locks chamber between 

upper guard and lock gates. Elevation of datum of Brooks gage, 46.36 feet (1912 

adjustment of primary level net).

Channel. Rocky and permanent at the rapids at Cascade Locks, the control for all

Discharge measurements. In 1903 made by United States Engineers with rod 

floats and meter from a steamer; in 1907 by United States Geological Survey 

engineers with meter from a launch; in 1908 float measurements by United 

States Geological Survey engineers 2,000 feet below gage at The Dalles; in 1910 

and 1913 measurements by United States Geological Survey engineers on Columbia River above Snake River and on Snake River referred to The Dalles gage, 

allowance being made for intervening tributaries.

558 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1913, PART XII.

CENTRAL OREGON CANAL NEAR BEND, OREG.

Location. In sec. 7, T. 18 S., R. 12 E., at a flume section 1 mile below point where

waters in main diversion canal are divided between this canal and the Pilot

Butte canal; about 2 miles south of Bend. 

Records available. May 11, 1905, to September 30, 1913. 

Gage. Vertical staff consisting of a painted strip of galvanized iron nailed to inside

of flume on right side. 

Channel. A plank flume of rectangular cross section with battened seams. Flume

rather unstable, but the rating appears not to change. 

Discharge measurements. Made from yoke of flume at gage section. 

Winter flow. Canal operated almost continuously. The flow in winter is small in

volume. The fall through the section at the gage is sufficient to maintain open

channel at all times. 

Accuracy. Results good. 

Cooperation. Gage height record furnished by Central Oregon Irrigation Co.

DESCHUTES RIVER AT MOODY, NEAR BIGGS, OREG.

Location. In the SE. \ sec. 26, T. 2 N., R. 15 E., 1 mile below Moody railroad station, 1} miles above bridge of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co., 

about 5 miles southwest of Biggs, and 1£ miles above mouth of the river.

Records available. July 7,1906, to September 30,1913; October 19,1897, to December 31, 1899, for a station near Moro, 10 miles above mouth of river, in the NE. J 

sec. 5, T. 1 S., R. 16 E. Records for 1908 and 1910 somewhat fragmentary.

Drainage area. About 9,180 square miles.

Gage. Staff in two sections the lower inclined, the upper vertical. At the Moro 

station gage was an inclined staff.

Discharge measurements. Made from a cable about 450 feet above gage. At 

Moro station made from the "free bridge" 3 miles below gage.

Diversions. Summer discharge at this station has been progressively reduced since 

about 1904 or 1905 by diversions from the upper river. Some of this water returns but the net reduction during midsummer is now probably 10 or 15 per cent.

Accuracy. Results good.

Cooperation. Gage heights furnished by M. A. Moody, The Dalles, Oreg.

No discharge measurements made during the year.

NOTE. The period October to March was estimated by comparison with records obtained on Squaw 

Creek and Tumalo Creek near Bend.

TUMALO CREEK NEAR BEND, OREGK

Location. In the SE. J sec. 23, T. 17 S., R. 11E., half a mile below highway bridge

on Bend-Sisters road, 4 miles above mouth, 4 miles northwest of Bend. 

Records available. October 6, 1906, to September 30, 1913 (fragmentary). This

station is maintained in winter months only to insure a yearlong record on the

stream. The upper station is somewhat isolated and sometimes inaccessible in

winter.

Drainage area. 57 square miles. 

Gage. Vertical staff, nailed to overhanging stump, since November, 1910; previous

records at different site.

Channel. Rocks and gravel; not liable to shift greatly. 

Discharge measurements. At ordinary stages made by wading near the gage; at

flood stages, from the highway bridge, half a mile above gage. 

Winter flow. Relation of gage height to discharge has been considerably affected

during extreme cold weather. 

Diversions. All the water of this stream diverted above station during the irrigation

season, making it dry except for seepage return. 

Accuracy. Results fair.

SQUAW CREEK BELOW McALLISTER's DITCH, NEAR SISTERS, OREG.

Location. In sec. 30, T. 15 S., B. 10 E., about 4 miles above Sisters and above all

diversions except McAllister's ditch. 

Records available. July 1, 1906, to May 31, 1913. 

Drainage area. 63 square miles. 

Gage. Vertical staff. 

Channel. Gravel and rock; practically permanent. Backwater from a changeable

dam reaches the gage and introduces changes in the rating curve. 

Discharge measurements. Made from a iootlog just above the gage. 

Winter flow. Ice tends to jam above the dam, and during extreme cold weather

the effect is very marked. 

Diversions. McAllister's ditch heads above this station, and its flow is added tci get

the total. The low-water flow of the stream is all diverted by several irrigation

ditches below the station. 

Accuracy. Results good.
