standpoint the inquiries are encourag-
ing. At the same time they are en-
barrassing, in that 1t is assumed that
Survey has extended its investigation
over the whole field, when, as a matter
Of fact, the work has been carried on
in a restricted way in but a few of the
more important localities.
The nation as a whole is interested
in the question Of its water resources,
as vital to the future Of the public
lands. 1t is also interested in the gen.
eral question Of water for domestic
purposes, especially in thickly settled
districts. The economic and effective
search for water for this purpose invol-
yes a knowledge Of all the factors en-
tering into a thorough photographic in
vestigation. In the search for artesian
waters, thousands of dollars have been
wasted in places where a thorough
knowledge of the geological structure
would have prevented such waste.
Each year this fact is being better ap-
preciated, and expert opinion is more
and more sought, both in connection
with the search for artesian water, and
IN the utilization Of water power.
The photographic work is not only
intimately related to geology and topo-
graphy, but also demands data from
the records Of climatic oscillations.
The latter may be obtained from the
records Of the Weather Bureau, but
in other respects the work is essentially
a survey, and should be prosecuted in
the most econamic manner possible.
The organization Of the department of
photographic work under the present
limited appropriation is under the
charge of Mr.. F. H. Newell, who is
assisted by Mr.. Arthur P. Davis. Both
OF these gentlemen are trained topo-
graphers, and have had long experience
in such photographic work as is con-
templated by the Survey. At present
they are largely engaged upon the
special study Of the water supply Of the
great arid and semi-arid region Of the
interior, employing local assistance
wherever parties are found who are in
terested in the work. A large amount
of this assistance is voluntary, so that
they are able to obtain much more ex-
tensive results than would otherwise be
possible with the resources at command.
The railroads, especially, are giving
much assistance by having their bridge
tenders read the river gauges that have
been set up under the direction Of Mr..
Newell.
The value Of this work is beyond
question, and since 1t is SO closely re-
lated to geology, it appears to be strict
ly germane to the work of the Survey.
