WATER OBSERVATIONS.
Government Makes Daily Record n
Five Points in this County.


W. C. Sawyer. who has been read
ing the stream gauges in different
points in the county, the same being
a part of the government work. went
last night to Malheur county, where
he will have the same duties to per-
form for a time.
Observations of height and amount
of water. are now taken at five points
in this county at three points on the
Umatilla river and two on the walla
Walla. AT Umatilla B. V. Pompella
takes the observations at Yoakum.
Luther DeHaven; at Gibbon, H. w.
Swart: at the south fork of the walla
Walla, Harry Huber; at Milton, S. L.
Smith.
No observations are taken at PEN
dleton during the summer months. as
the gauge is set at the bridge and the
Byers' race necessitates the supply of
water below it being very variable
during the season of naturally low
water, az a portion of the time 1t is
wide open: at other times II is near
1y closed to economic the last barrel
of water; while again the water will
be suddenly released. So at this point
1t is not possible to take the height of
the water without going above town
beyond the influence of the race.
which would necessarily be on the
Reservation or above it. The obser-
walton is taken here by official con-
nected with the department directly.
The observations on Mckay creek
have been entirely discontinued. They
were made by Mrs, C. W. Lyman.
