ward until it becomes very great in the valley
of the Kern. On the western sides of the Sac
ramento and San Joaquin Valley, i. g.,
upon the eastern slopes of the coast ranges, the
scarcity of water is extreme, while the extent
of arabic land is very great 10 is believed
that important areas of this land may be irri-
gated by the development of o system of reser-
voirs. Many situations for reservoirs are
known to exist in these ranges and the rainfall
on the mountains is probably sufficient to fill
many of them. One of the most important
problems in irrigation to be solved in Califor-
MIA relates to the use of the Colorado River in
the southeastern part of the State.7
For the Engineer Survey the expense is es-
timated at 5000; $21, 800 of the entire APP
preparation of a quarter million dollars IS
reserved for contingent purposes. Maj. Powell
will issue letters of instruction to his subordi-
mates in the field in few days.

This is an elegant as well as valuable his
toFieal production. Ii is a large-sized sheet
Of heavy paper, enbellished with brilliantly
colOred representations of all the flags used
by the Colonies in the Revolutionary and
prior wars. They show how the Star
Spangied Banner was finally evolved out Of
these. There is also on the chart pictures
Of the old Independence Hall in PhiiadeE-
phia, and the residence of the lady who
made the first Star Spangled Banner. In
the center of the chart is a great white
star, with the words of the Star Spangled
Banner printed on its face Around it ara
pictorial reproductions of the various en-
blems which it was proposed to put on the
flag The whole is an admirable ornament
for the Post room, OF parlOr or sitting

1RRIGATING ARID LANDS.
Secretary Noble Approves the Plans of Maj. Powell

Secretary Noble Approves the Plans Of Maj. Powell.
Secretary Noble has approved the plan OF
operations for continuing the irrigation sur
vey of arid lands proposed by Maj. j. w Pow
ell, Director of the Geological Survey. The
survey was begun in 1888 under authority of
Congress, and the continuation is proposed pur-
suant to the terms of the act of March 9, 1889,
which appropriates $250000 for the work.
Mai. Powell recommends that the work be
prosecuted i'll Montana, Colorado, New Mexico,
Idaho, Nevada and California. In these States
and Territories topographic maps have already
been made or are being constructed. The work
is divided into three parts: first, the topo-
graphic survey; second the hydraulic survey
third, the engineering survey.
Topographic parties are in the field from
about May 10 to Oct Is, under the general
supervision of Fl. A. Thompson. In Montana
it is proposed to survey 1000 square miles
along the Yellowstone River eastward from
the Tooth meridian. The area to be sur
veyed in Colorado is about $4,000 square miles
in the drainage basin Of the Arkansas. The
drainage basins of the Rio Grande and
Chama Rivers in New Mexico are to be sur
veyed-an area of 5000 square miles. In Ida
no the work will begin at Boise City, and be
carried cast along the valley of Snake River 900
square miles. Nevada and California are to be
operated as one division. The area to be sur
veyed in California will comprise the I'M
mapped portions of the drainage basins of the
Yuba, American, Costumes, Mokelumne, Stanis-
laus, Truckee and Carson Riyers-about 8 1000
square miles. In Nevada about 1900 square
miles of the basins of the Trnckee and Carson
Rivers. The total estimate of expenses for
topographic survey is $4,000.
Operations in the hydraulic survey will DO
continued under the charge of Capt. C. E. Dut-
ton, of the Ordnance Corps Gauging stations
have been or will be established in California
and Wyoming and on the South Platte, Ar
kansas, Rio Grande, ella. Salt, Verde, Trnckee
Carson and Snake Rivers. Second and third
class stations will also be established the latter
for the purpose of taking records of rainfall
only. The estimate for photographic work is
$40, 200.
Capt. Dutton will have charge of the engi-
neering survey. IN the Upper Missouri diyis-
ion the general irrigation problem will be ex-
amined along the forks of the Missouri: the
Yellowstone from the Park to Miles City, or
Glendiye: the Missouri, from the forks to Fort
Benton; Milk River. the Colorado division, will
include the Arkansas from headwaters to the
Tooth meridian and the Huerfano.
OF the work in the California division, Mai.
Powell says:
In the drainage basins of the Sierra Neva-
da, north of the Costumes or Mokelumne, there
is but little demand for irrigation. South of
the Mokelumne there is some demand for wa
ter, and this demand steadily increases south.
