DIVISION OF HYDROGRAPHY, 

Washington, March 1, 1899. 

Sm: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript giving 

the results of operations at the river stations in the eastern and 

central portions of the country during the calendar year 1898, together 

with related data, for publication in thl:l series of papers upon water 

supply and irrigation. The data for the western portion of the 

country (Part II) will be transmitted as the succeeding number of 

the series .. 

Very ·respectfully,,

OPERATIONS.AT RIVER STATIONS, 1898, 

PART I. 

INTRODUCTION. 

The following pages contain descriptions of the river stations maintained during 1898 by the United States Geological Survey, together 

with tables of the average daily height of water, results of measurements of discharge, ,and rating tables constructed from the latter and 

applicable in general for the calendar year. Similar facts have been 

printed for the year 1896 in Water-Supply Paper No. 11, and for 1897 

in Water-Supply Papers Nos. 15 and 16. In the papers. mentioned 

the description of each station has been given, next the date and 

result of each· measurement, followed by the table of daily gage 

heights. In the present manuscript the orcler has been modified in 

order to secure a more concise presentatiqn. The stations have been 

grouped in geographic order, and for each group the descriptions of 

all of the stations have been given; following these all of the gage 

heights for the group, then all of the discharge measurements and 

the rating tables. ' In the case· of river stations, where the changes 

have been trivial in character, the descriptions have not been repeated, 

but reference made to the page of preceding papers where more fully 

described. 

The mat~rial above noted consists essentially of the results of 

operations at the river stations, and forms the basis for computations 

of daily, monthly, and annual flow. In order to make these necessary computations considerable time and labor is involved and the 

resulting facts can be most clearly and concisely given by diagrams. 

The preparation of the computations and the diagrams necessitates 

unavoidable delays, and therefore it has been t.he custom to present 

the facts, such as are given herewith, as soon as possible after the 

close of the calendar year, so that the original data may be available 

at an early date to all who are concerned with their use. While these 

original figures are being printed the computations of final results 

are being prepared, and, with the illustrations, have in the past been 

made to form a part of the annual report of the Director of the 

Geological Survey. For example, the results for 1896, mentioned 

.above, as given in Water-Supply Paper No. 11, are fully discussed in 

Part IV of the Eighteenth Annual Report, also the original data for 

7 
8 OPERATIONS AT RIVER STATIONS, 1898.-PAR'l' I. [No.27. 

1897, given in Water-Supply Papers Nos. 15 and 16, are published in 

final form in the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. In the same 

_way the figures herewith given form the basis for conclusions, being 

prepared for publication in Part IV of the Twentieih Annual Report. 

Most of the measurements herewith presented have been obtained 

through local hydrographers, a comparatively small part of the work 

having been conducted directly from the office of the Geological 

Survey at Washington. Acknowledgment is therefore due to each 

of these persons individually. Thanks should also be extended to 

individuals and corporations who have cooperated in various ways, 

either by furnishing readings of height of water or assisting in 

transportation. The following list gives the names of the resident 

hydrographers or persons cooperating, this being arranged alpha· 

beti<lally by States:

and Lee University, Lexington, Va .. 

Washington: Sydney Arnold, civil engineer, North Yakima; William J. Ware, civil engineer, Port ,Angeles. 

Wyoming: Clarence T. Johnston, civil engineer, Cheyenne. 

In a number of instances reJated data have been inserted, such, for 

example, as results of computation of daily flow at mill dams, made 

by local engineers, and data of river heights obtained from the United 

States Weather Bureau or Corps. of Engineers, United States Army. 

Reference to thes~ facts, mainly unpublished, has been, or will be, 

made in other publications of this survey, and they are, therefore, 

placed in consecutive order for COIJ.Venience of reference. 
NORTHERN ATLANTIC COAST DRAINAGE. 9 

The methods of measure1ment of discharge of the various streams 

and the computations have beeu described in a general way on pages 

18-30 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. There has been 

gradual progress and development of details, but the operations there 

described have remained essentially unchanged. 

NORTHERN ATLANTIC COAST DRAINAGE • 

. DESCRIPTION OF RIVER STATIONS. 

aterville station on Kennebec River.-Computations of discharge 

of Kennebec River at Watflrville, Maine, have been made by Mr. 

Sumner Hollingsworth, president of the Hollingsworth & Whitney' 

Company, those begiimi1,1g on November 15, 1891, being fragmentary 

in character through 1892. Prior to June 20, 1893, computations are 

based upon the flow over the dam as determined by weir formula. 

Subsequ~nt to that date figures are from computations of the flow 

through turbines, using assumed readings, to which has lJeen added 

any excess passing over the crest of the dam. The figures really give 

the discharge at noon on each day, this hour being the time when the 

flow is least affected by storage of dams upstream, and as giving most 

readily the average for the day. A summary of results is given on 

page 75 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. 

Rwmjord Falls station on Androscoggin River.-Computations of 

discharge made of Androscoggin River at Rumford Falls are described 

on page 92 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. They begin 

on May18, 1892, and extend to th:e end of April, 1895. Until January, 1893, the discharge was determined from the comp:nted flow over 

the dam, as given by Francis's ordinary weir formula. Subsequent 

to that time, as water was used for power, additions ·were made to 

the computed flow over the dam of the amounts assumed to pass 

through the turbines, until July, 1895. Since that date the quantities are the sums of the actual measured quantities passing through 

the wheels and the computed flow over the dam. The gage readings 

are taken at the lower dam, and at first were made once a day, later 

four times a day, and subsequently every two hours. The results 

have been kindly furnished by Mr. Charles A. Mixer, resident engineer of the Rumford Falls Power Company. A summary of the 

results is given on page 93 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, 

Part IV.

River to form the Cape Fear. The observer is M. A. Moore, Moncure, 

Chatham County, North Carolina, who also attends the station on 

Deep River. The gage is a horizontal rod, well painted, divided into 

feet and tenths, and securely nailed to the outer side of the guard rail 

of the bridge on the upstream side. The t:wo-foot ma.rk on the rod 

is over the center of the second-floor beam from the south end of th. 

second span from the south end of the bridge. The outer rim of 

the pulley wheel is 0.3 foot from the zero of the gage rod and the distance from the end of the weight to the pointer on the wire rope is 

43.45 feet, the gage reading zero when the weight touches the bottom 

of the stream. The initial point for soundings is a notch cut in the 

guard rail opposite the south end of the bridge and on the upstream 

side, the section here being better than that on the downstream side. 

The channel is straight for some distance above and below the station 

The velocity is good and uniformly distributed across the stream. Both 

·banks are rather low and somewhat subject to overflow in time of 

flood. The bed of the stream is of coarse sand and gravel, and is probably not subject to any decided change in high water. The current 

here is somewhat modified by a fish dam about 150 yards above the 

bridge. The station is reached by private conveyance from Moncure. 

Moncure station on Deep River.-This station, established May 5, 

1898, is located about one-fourth of a mile south of Moncure, Chatham 

County, North Carolina, at the covered wooden bridge of the Seaboard 

Air Line, which crosses the river here, and about 2 miles above the 

junction with the Haw River to form the Cape Fear. The observer·is 

M.A. Moore, Moncure, Chatham County, North Carolina, a farmer 

and also bridge watchman, living about 100 yards from the bridge. 

The gage is a horizontal rod, well painted, divided into feet and tenths, 

and securely nailed to the guard rail of the bridge. The zero of the 

rod is 50 feet south of the north end of the second span of the bridge 

from the north. The outer rim of the pulley wheel is 3. 7 feet from the 

zero of the rod, and from the end of the weight to the pointer on the 

wire rope is 45.16 feet, the gage reading zero when the weight touches 

the bottom of the river. The initial point for soundings is a notch 

cut in the guard rail opposite the south end of the bridge and on the 

downstream side. The channel is straight for some distance above 

and below the station. The velocity is not great but sufficient for 

the purpose, and is well distributed across the stream. Both banks 

are rather low and subject to overflow. The bed of the river is of 

fine sand and mud, and is probably subject to change in high water.

Rockhill station on Catawba River.-Described on page 35 of l?apm· 

No. 15; results for 1897 shown on page 204 of the Nineteenth AJ}null,l 

Report, Part IV. The rating table for this. station, printed on: page 

213 of the above report, does not fairly represent the, conditions prevailing from February to December, 1897. The drought that began in 

August of that year and continued until the latter half of Oc.tober 

was the most severe in the history of the State, if not in the hist¢ry of 

the South generally, and the streams attained a lower stage o~ flow 

than ever before, according to the testimony of those living near them. 

Also the level of the underground waters, as shown by the wells and 

springs, was lower than for a quarter of a century. As shown by the 

gage heights of the rivers, all of them during September &nd Oc~ober 

of this year reached a stage of flow lower than at any time during the 

year or during the preceding years. The rating table and the: gage 

heights for the upper station on this river show that the minimum 

flow for this year was during this period. It therefore appears that the 

same should be true for this lower station, but instead the rating ,table 

makes the minimum. flow for the year come in January, which ls out 

of accord not only with the abnormal conditions prevailing at this 

time, but with those of1 the normal year. . 

Gaffney station on Broad River (a tributary of Santee Riv~r).---, 

This stati. on has been ~anged from the locality described on pai.ge 36 

of Paper No.15. TheJ!age wire was broken on October 1,189$, and 

on October 25 the gage was moved to Gaffney Ferry, about 200 rards 

above the railroad briQ.ge, where there is a better section and 'o/here 

nearly all the measurewents have been taken. The gage was ~oved 

in the following mannrr: A small temporary gage was set up ait the 

ferry in order that th~ rise or fall of the river might be deteriPined 

and allowed for in th~ final setting of the gage in its new pos~tion. 

The wire to the gage :;tt the railroad bridge was then replaced and 

the gage reading taken~ The rod was then removed· and taken *o the 

ferry. The temporary! gage was read again and with the same result 

as before, indicating that the water was at a stand. This beinJg the 

case, all. that was necessary to set the gage was to make the reading 

in its new position the same as in its old position. From the' fact, 

however, that in its old position the water had frequently fallen below 

the zero of the gage, it was thought best to change the position of the 

rod somewhat, and accordingly the zero of the rod was moved ~own­ ward 2 feet. The reading at the bridge was 0.90 foot;. the new.reading was therefore 2. 90 feet. The observations from J anuar 1 1 to 

September 30 have been adjusted to the new zero by adding 2 feet. 

The rod is securely nailed and braced to a large overhanging tree 

just east of Gnffney Ferry, on the south side of the river, an~ the 

rod is 72 feet west ~f a bench mark consisting of a large steet nail

. driven in a notch cut in the root of a large elm tree on the south side·· 

of the river, just to the east of the road leading to the ferry and 

about 30 feet from the river bank. The zero of the rod is 13.29 feet 

below this nail. The bottom here is sand, with some mud, and quite 

smooth. The velocity is quite rapid, well distributed all the way 

across, and the channel is straight for some distance above and below 

the station. The services of the ferryman, John W. Gaffney, Gaffney, 

South Carolina, were obtained to take charge of the gage. 

Alston station on Broad River (tributary to Santee River).-Described on page 37 of Paper No. 15; results for 1897 shown on page 215 

of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. 

Waterloo station on Saluda River.-Described on·page 38 of Paper 

No. 15; results for 1897 shown on page 221 of the Nineteenth Annual 

Report, Part IV. 

Madison. station on Tugalo River.-Established July 19, 1898, at 

Cooks Ferry, about half a mile from Madison, South Carolina, and 1 

mile below the Southern Railway bridge on Tugalo River. S. Q; Cobb, 

a farmer living in Georgia, about 300 yards from the ferry, was 

employed onJ uly 19, 1898, as observer; but the discharge measurements 

were begun on May 26, 1898. The gage is a 2 by 4 inch scantling, 10 

feet long, graduated to feet and tenths, and nailed to a sycamore tree 

on the right bank attheferrylanding. Higherstagesarenotedonthe 

sycamore above the rod by measuring up from the top of rod. Measurements are made from a boat held in place by the ferry rope stretched 

across the river. The bench marks are on the left bank of river, the 

first being on a willow tree at the bateau landing, and consisting of 

three large nails 3 feet above zero of gage; the sec~nd is on the same 

tree, being one nail 6 feet above zero of gage; and the third is a large 

nailin a sycamore at the ferry landi.ng12 feet above the zero of gage. 

Calhoun Falls station on Savannah River.-Described on page 39 

of Paper No. 15; results for 1897 are shown on page 223 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. The station was discontinued on 

August 9, 1898. 

Augusta station on Savannah River.-Observations of river height 

have been maintained since 1875 by the city of Augusta at the city 

highway bridge. The results have been printed in the volumes entitled 

Stages of Water at River Stations, prepared by the Uni~ed States 

Weather Bureau. Those for 1875 to 1889 are given in Part III, those 

for 1890 to 1892 in Part IV, and for 1893 to 1895 in Part V. The gage 

consists of a vertical timber fastened to the pier and graduated to feet 

and inches. Readings are made four times a day, usually at 6 a.m., 

12m., 6 p.m., and 9 p.m. The 6 a.m. readings are those used by 

the Weather Bureau. The observer is J. M. Youngblood, keeper of 

the city bridge. The gage heights as given in the following pages have 

been .changed from feet and inches to feet and tenths, and have been 

averaged for the day. The zero of this gage is the low water of 1835. 

The highest water recorded was on September 11, 1888, at 38.7 fee~. 
SOUTHERN ATLANTIC COAST· DRAINAGE. 29 

At that time the entire city was submerged, ten persons were drowned, 

and property was damaged to the amount of $2,000,000. 1 

The floods of this river have been' investigated under the direction 

of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, and reports prepared 

by George W. Brown, assistant engineer.·. The first of th~se, dated 

Februaryll, 1889, was printed, with maps, as House Ex. Doc. No. 213, 

Fifty-first Congress, first session; also given, with few maps, in the 

Report of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, 1890, page 1340. 

A later report, dated June 10, 1890, also prepared by Mr. George W. 

Bro~, was printed as Ex. Doc. No. 255, Fifty-first Congress, second 

session. In this report is given a rating table, showing the probable 

discharge of the river at heights on the gage of from 5 to 40 feet. On 

page 17 of this latter document is shown the run-off in cubic feet per 

second per square mile for various portions of the drainage basin. 

There is also given a tabJe of distances and elevations and the slope of 

the river, as well as a desoription of the character of the drainage b~sin. 

From the figures in the above-named reports a computation was 

made by Cyrus C. Baqb of the fluctuations of flow of Savannah River, 

the results being publ1shed in the Fourteenth Annual Report, Part II, 

of the United States Geological Survey, page 147, ann relating to the 

years 1884 to ·1891, inclusive. A discussion of the results is also given 

in Transactions American Society of Civil Engineers, Volume XXIII, 

page 332. The later discharge measurements, made during 1897 and 

1898 by Prof. B. M. llall and others, have furnished material for the 

construction of a new rating table. A comparison of this with earlier, 

less accurate tables may be of interest in this connection.

Much of the difference between the results given in the above tables 

is due to deepening of the channel at the Augusta wharf, immediately 

below the city bridge, to a pier Of which the gage is attached. 

By the use of the values of discharge corresponding to various gage 

heights Professor Hall has computed the minimum :flow, by mqnths, 

from 1892 to 1898, inclusive. · In each case he has taken the average 

of all the readings for the day of lowest water in the given month, and 

not the lowest single reading. The lowest average daily reading for 

the seven years is that on Juiy 3, 1898, of 3.88, The rating table, 

therefore, begins at about this point, the value for a height of 3. 9 feet 

being 2,306 second-feet.

Water is diverted from Savannah River above the city o:f Augusta 

by a canal folloWing along the right bank, described in Volume XVI of 

the Tenth Census, 1880, on page 789. A conception of the -size of this 

canal is given by a measurement made by Prof. B. M. Hall on September 29, 1897, above all the water wheels. At that time he found a 

flow of 2,640 second-feet. Presumably all of this was passing through 

the water wheels under varying heads. The full head is 50 feet, but 

the canal has three levels. Some of the wheels discharge from the 

upper level or main canal directly into the river, while others dis~ 

charge from one level to another. 

The measurements noted on page 44 were made at North Augusta 

highway bridge, which is a through iron bridge' iu three spans, 206-! 

feet, 209 feet, and 206t feet in length, respectively, not including 

approaches from street to each end. There are two piers in the water 

and one in each bank. The stream at gage h~ight, 6.67, is 572 feet 

wide, including the two piers, has a maximum depth of 10 feet and 

an average depth of 6.5 feet, the mean velocity being 1.24 feet per 

second. The initial point is center of first sidewalk floor beam, right 

bank, downstream side of bridge.

inclusive, with Jasper Young as observer. Since that time the United 

States Weather Bureau has taken the observations, the observer 

being Mathew R. Scarborough. The measurements are taken on the 

upstream side of the iron highway bridge, which is about 100 yards 

above the railroad bridge at which the gage is located . 

.Almon station on Yellow River.-Described on page 43 of Paper 

No. 15; result for 1897 shown on page 229 of the Nineteeth Annual 

Report, Part IV. No current meter measurements have been made 

during 1898, nor have gage.heights been recorded. An attempt, however, has been made to I ascertain the flu. ctuations of discharge by 

comparison with the obsj:lrvations made at Macon. A rating table 

published on page 229 qf the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV, 

was constructed from discharge measurements made during the 

autumn of 1897. This hilts been used to obtain the quantity of flow at 

fifteen times on days wh~n the elevation was not fluctuating notably. 

The gage height at Macpn, Georgia, was ascertained on each morn-

ing folloWing these dates. In this way the estimated discharge at 

.Almon was referred to the readingS on the gage at Macon and a. new 

discharge table computed in which the heights at Macon are given, 

and assume discharges at .Almon are set opposite. The application 

of such a table invoJves the assumption that the fluctuations at

EASTERN GULF DRAINAGE. 

DESCRIPTION OF RIVER STATIONS. 

Molina station on Flint River.-Described on page 45 of Paper 

No. 15. Results for 1897 shown on pages 233-234 of the Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV. The alternate accumulation and washing 

out of sediment in an eddy half a mile below so affected the gage 

heights that it has not been possible to establish a definite relation 

between them and the discharge measurements of 1897 and 1898. 

Prof. B. M. Hall has constructed a rating table by averaging the conflicting measurements that were made at or near the same gage 

heights. This is the best that can be done with the data in hand. · 

A new station will be established as soon as a proper section can be 

found. 

Albany station on Flint River.-This station is maintained by the 

United States Weather Bureau. The drainage area is approximately 

5,000 square miles. The !observer is John E. Clark. No discharge 

measurements were made during 1898. Mr. J. B. Marbury, the local 

forecast official at .. tlanta, Georgia, furnishes the following information~ The river gage is in two sections. The long section, from 10 to 

36 feet, is nailed in two segments to the south face, downstream side of 

the west pier on the right or Albany side of river. The short section 

is nailed to a cypress tree 120 feet down the river from pier. The top 

of the pier-foundation sill is 8.1 feet above low water. A second gage, 

reading from zero to 21· feet, is nailed to a cypress tree on left-hand 

bank of river, about 100 feet downstream from the point where the 

south side of Commerce street, if extended, would cross the river. 

The first bench mark is the top of the white marble foundation stone 

of theA. M. E. Church, corne~ of Washington and State street, Albany, 

Georgia. It is 49.5 feet above zero of gage. The second bench mark 

is the top of the sill of the old wharf at the foot of Broad street. It is 

3 feet above low water. 

Oakdale station on Chattahoochee River.-Described on page 46 of 

Paper No. 15. Results for 1897 shown on page 235 of the Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV. On July 1 the station was moved to Mason 

and Turner's Ferry, 1 mile below Oakdale. The observer is C. H. 

Turner. The gage at this point, known as Oakdale lower gage, is 

nailed to a tree on the right bank, 100 yards below the ferry, and is 

set 1 foot deeper in the water than the gage at the Southern Railroad 

Bridge. 

West Point station on Chattahoochee River.-Described on page 47 

of Paper No. 15. Results for 1897 are shown on page 237 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV:. 

Canton station on Etowah River.-Described on page 48 of Paper 

No. 15. Results for 1897 shol om page 242 of tho Nineteenth Annual 
48 OPERATIONS AT RIVER STA~IONS, 1898.-PART I. [No.27. 

Report, Part IV. The zero of gage, is 881.02 feet above sea level, as 

given in Report of United States Weather Bureau, Daily River 

Stages on the principal rivers of the United States, Part IV, 1893. 

Garters station on Coosawattee River.-Described on page 49 of 

Paper No. 15; results for 1897 shown· on page 243 of the Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV. The observer for 1898 was H. S. Weems. 

Resaca station on Oostanaula Rive'r.-Described on page 50 of 

Paper No. 15; results for 1897 given on page 245 of the Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV. 

Rome station on Coosa River.-Coosa River is formed by the junction of Etowah and Oostanaula rivers at Rome, Georgia. Measurements of discharge are made on each of these tributaries. The Etowah 

River is measured at Second Avenue Bridge and Oostai:taula River at 

Fifth Avenue Bridge, and the results added to give the flow of Coosa 

River, the junction being a short dista~ce below these bridges. The 

gage height is taken from the Weather Bureau gage at Fifth Avenue 

Bridge, on the Oostanaula. There is practically no fall on the Oostanaula River from Fifth Avenue Bridge to the junction, hence the 

gage is used as Coosa River gage, and gives the fluctuations of Coosa 

River. This gage is 4 by 6 timber, graduated to feet and tenths, and 

fastened to the downstream left-hand corner of the first pier from left 

bank. The zero of gage is 575.79 above sea level. The United States 

Weather Bureau has maintained a station here for many years. It 

is now maintained only as a half-year station, from November 1 to 

April 30, inclusive, but W. M. Towers, the river observer, feels so 

much personal interest in the matter that he reads the gage during 

the other six months without compensation, and kindly furnishes the 

Survey with monthly reports of the daily gage heights for the entire 

year without charge. 'Mr. Towers has kept the record for many years, 

and bas pr,edicted floods with great precision. 

Riverside station on Coosa River, including locks Nos. 4 and 5.-

Described on page 51 of Paper No. 15; results for 11897 given on page 

246 of the.Nineteentb Annual Report, Part IV.

No. 15, and on page 241 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. 

:lllilstead station on Tallapoosa River.-Described on page 56 of 

Paper No. 15; results for 1897 shown on page 249 of the Nineteenth 

.Annual Report, Part IV. This station was established by B. M. Hall 

August 7, 1897. 

Tuscaloosa station on Black Warrior River.-Described on page 57 

of PaperNo. 15; results for 1897 shown on page 250 of the Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV. The observer since April16, 1898, bas been

OHIO RIVER DRAIN AGE. 

DESCRIPTION OF RIVER STATIONS. 

Friendsville station on Youghiogheny River.-This station at 

Friendsville, Garrett County, Maryland, was established August 17, 

1898, by E. G. Paul. The observer is J. H. Cuppet, a merchant 

residing within a short distance of the gage. The height of water is 

obtained by means of a wire attached to the floor timber on the lower 

side of the highway iron bridge connecting the east and west portions 

of the village. This wire is 20 feet long from zero to the extreme end 

of the weight. The scaleboard is 14 feet long, graduated to tenths of 

a foot. The stream channel is straight for several hundred feet above 

and below the bridge, and it has a solid bottom with high banks on 

the right-hand side. 

Radford station on New River.-This is located on the New River 

(highway) Bridge, close by Radford Station, on theN orfolk and Western Railway. It was established August 1, 1898, by D. C. Humphreys. The observer of river heights is A. J. Killinger, Radford, 

Virginia. The gage used was erected by the United States Weather 

Bureau, and consists of a vertical board, graduated to tenths of a foot, 

attached to the iron framework connecting the pair of iron concrete 

cylinders which form the first pier from the right bank, close to the 

upper of the two cylinders. The bench mark is the bottom of the 

Iowest horizontal brace, connecting the two cylinders; the elevation 

above the zero of the gage is 3.88 feet. The discharge measurements 

were, made from the lower edge of the bridge, and the initial point for 

soundings is the right bank of the river, 40 feet from the first pier. 

The channel is remarkably uniform and nearly ·straight for about half 

a mile above and below the station. The bottom is of solid rock and 

gravel, and is smooth and regular. On the left bank there is a very 

narrow bottom, and then a steep rocky bluff; on the right bank the 

bottom, which is overflowed in extreme high water, is about 100 yards 

wide, but all water must go under the bridge, which is about 85 feet 

above low. water. ·

Blueridge station on Toccoa River.-This station, at Morganton. 

Bridge, about 4 miles east of the town of Blue Ridge, was established 

on November 25, 1898, and J. L. Seabolt, mail carrier from Blueridge to Morganton, Georgia, was employed as observer. He has 

since died, and his son, H. M. Seabolt, who is now the mail carrier, 

has been employed in his stead. He crosses the bridge twice every day 

except Sunday. No readings are had on this day, but figures have 

been interpolated in the list. The gage is a 14-foot rod in two 7-foot 

sections, nailed to a tree on the right bank just below the bridge. It 

is graduated to feet and tenths, and is set to conform to bench marks 

which were established October 15, 1896, and August 26, 1898. The 

measurement in 1896 was made at the railroad bridge, about 3 miles 

below, but is referred to the present. gage by comparison of bench marks 

at the two bridges on August 26, 1898. The bench mark at Morganton 

Bridge is on the top of the bridge floor on the downstream side, 50 

feet from the initial point, and is 18 feet above zero of gage. · Morganton Bridge is a wooden, queen-bolt open bridge in three spans, 

with a total length between abutments of 153 feet. The width of the 

river, including two piers, at ordinary stage, is 143 feet between the 

banks, the three channels being 50, 38, and 33 feet, respectively.

DESCRIPTION' OF RIVER STATIONS. 

Salesville station on West Gallatin River.-Described on page 66 of 

Paper No. 15; results for 1897 shown on pages 275-277 of the Nineteenth Annp.al Report, Part IV. 

Bozeman station on Middle Oreek.-Described on page 67 of Paper 

No, 15, and on page 271 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. .A 

wire cable was placed across the stream in 1898, 250 yards north of the 

gage station, and current meter measurements are made from this. 

· Logan station on Gallatin River.-Described on page 68 of Paper 

No. 15; results for 1897 shown on pages 277-278 ef the Nineteenth 

Annual Report. 

Redbluff station on Madison River.-Described on page 69 of Paper 

No. 15; results for 1897 shown on pages 279-280 of the Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV. · 

Sappington station on Jefferson River.-Described on page 70 of 

Paper No. 15; results for 1897 shown on pages 281--283 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. The observer since March 26, 1898, 

has been W. D. McClellan. 

Townsend station ·on Missouri River.-Described on page 65 of 

Paper No. 15; results for 1897 shown on pages 283-285 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. 

Havre station on M~'lk River.7"'"This station is at a point on Milk 

River about one-quarter mile northwest of Havre, Montana. Owing 

to the river changing its channel so often and banks dropping in, a 

special form of gage rod was erected by Mr. Cyrus C. Babb. This 

consists of a 4-inch by 4-inch timber placed horizontally on supports 

and extending out over the river 20 feet. This is graduated in feet 

and tenths, and over it is run a wire with a weight attached, which 

is lowered to the surface of the water when measurements are made. 

The wire gage has a length of 24.8 feet. The measurements for dis" 

charge are made by means of a cable of 200 feet span, swung across 

the river, on which a box is run by pulleys. This is so located that an 

excellent result can be obtained. No readings were had in 1898 when 

the water was 1:!-bove the normal height, as the "J nne rise" had subsided before the station was established, May_15, 1898. The observer 

is Henry O'Herren, rancher. The discharge measurements were made 

by C. W. Ling and others. 
UPPER MISSOURI R.IVER DRAINAGE. 69 

The old station at Chinook, described on page 73 of Paper No. 15, 

was maintained through 1897, but was found to be of doubtful value 

on account of the poor section and from the fact that a number of 

canals. diverted wat~r at points above. It was decided to move the 

station to Havre, th' wire gage erected being similar to the one i~ 

use at Whitman station, on Wallawalla River, Wayhington. The 

horizontal timber or boom noted above extends over the bank, being 

made fast to two posts set firmly in the ground about 6 feet apart. 

Livingston station on Yellowstone River.-Described on page 74 

of Paper No. 15; results for 1897 shown on pages 287-289 of the 

Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV.

No. 15; results for 1897 given on pages 297-298 of the Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV. 

Fort Niobrara station on Niobrara River.-Described on page 80 

of Paper No. 15; results for 1897 shown on page 299 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV. No gage heights were observed 

during 1898.

DESCRIPTION OF RIVE STATIONS. 

Superior station on Repu_blican Rive1·. Described on page 107 of 

:Paper No. 16; results for 1897 shown on page 338 of the Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV. The observer las Carl Schaer. The station 

was discontinued on December 1, 1898. · . lash boards were kept on the 

dam from September 13 to October 12. As noted in descriptions in 

Paper No. 16, the gage rod was first faced just above the river 

highway bridge, which is itself some 75 lOr 100 yards above the dam 

which diverts water into the mill race. !This gage remained in place 

during the. season of 1898, and was read I by the hydrographer in connection with measurements of discharge, the reading being noted 

under the head of "river gage." At th~ beginning of the season of 

1898 two other gages were installed at this station, one being placed 

in the river a few feet upstream from the crest of the dam, and the 

other being placed in the mill race where it is eross'ed by a wagon 

bridge about 50 yards below the head of the race. 'rhe former of 

these two additional gages has been called the "dam gage," to distinguish it from. the "river 'age" previously noted. Its zero was 

placed as nearly as practicabl~ at the height of the crest of the dam. 

The gage in the mill race wa~ set so that at the time of setting its 

reading was 2 feet in excesS of that on the ''dam gage."· .The 

observer was. instructed to m~ke daily one set of observations, consisting of the following: Reading on ''dam gage," reading of gage in 

, ·I . I

mill race, and length of time required for float in midstream in mill race 

· to traverse a range of 50 feet which had been staked on the banks. 

Measurements of discharge werA made, as in previous years, at the 

highway bridge, thus determining at once the sum of the discharges 

over the dam and through the mill race. The discharge of the mill 

race was measured in order that it might be deducted from the total 

measured discharge of the river to give the amount passing over the 

dam. It was hoped that the relation between water height on "dam 

gage" and the amount of water passing over the dam would be stable 

and regular. It was also hoped that the daily observations of gage 

height and midstream surface velocity in the mill race would furnish 

data for the reliable estimation of the amount to be added to that 

passing over the dam in order to give the total discharge of the river. 

On computing the results for the season, it appears that while there 

is not the regularity and degree of certainty hoped for, yet the 

scheme, with slight modifications, is the best that can be devised for 

this station. The accompanying table of daily gage heights gives the 

reading of the gage at the dam, and the computations of discharge 

for 1898 are based upon the readings at this gage. The heigh't on 

this gage is also given in the list of discharge measurements rather 

than that on the river gage.

Paper No. 16; results for' 1897 given .on page 349 of the Nineteenth 

A:i:mual Report, Part IV. The quantity of water passing through the 

flume leading to the water wheels at this station is very variable. 

There are eight of these water wheels of several different sizes. They 

may all be in use at one time, causing a discharge of several hundred second-feet; or only two of them may be running, using a much 

smaller quantity of water. Even though this flume be carefully rated 

for any number of these wheels in use, it is difficult to determine 

which are in use each day and the number of hours they are in use. 

For these reasons it has been decided to establish a gage at Lecomp-

across the river will furnis~ a convenient place for measudng the
