Flow Measurements of Streams.-The
stations for measuring the flow of Gunpowder
falls and the Little Gunpowder falls estab-
lished in December, 1904, by the photographic
Branch of the United States Geological Sur
vev, have been continued this season.
The headwaters of the Gunpowder lie in
York county, Pa, near the Maryland line,
whence the river flows sOutheastward through
Baltimore county and discharges into Chesa-
peake Bay. Little Gunpowder falls which is
,tribntary to the Gunpowder below the fall
line, forms throughout its entire length the
boundary between Hartford and Baltimore
counties. The rivers are similar in character,
the slopes being steep and the powers having
considerable value on account OF their prox-
unity to the large city. A portion of the water
supply for Baltimore is taken from Gunpowder
falls at Loeb Raven, and that city has also
purchased the power rights below.
The gaging station on the main stream is
located at Glencoe, the gage being attached to
the upstream side of the steel highway bridge
near the Northern Central Railroad Station.
It is read twice each day by the station agent.
On the Little Gunpowder the station is located
at a steel highway bridge on the road from
Belair to KingsviIle, about five miles from
Belair. The gage attached to this bridge IS
read twice daily by A. ID. UDkhart. Current
meter measurements are made at both stations
by photographers of the survey, who visit the
localities for that purpose.
The data collected at the gaging stations on
important streams in all parts of the country
are made readily available to persons interested
by annual publication in reports which may
be obtained by applying to the director OF the
United States Geological Survey at Washing
ton, ID. G.
