sources that the commission is pre-
pairing.
The survey has been unable to ex-
tend Its observations to many regions
where the information would be Of
vital Importance because 1t lacks
funds. The cooperation of the rail-
roads would permit the survey to
cover many other regions.
The expense to the railroads under
this arrangement would be trifling,
the survey authorities say, because
the roads could designate men already
on their payrolls, such as draw ten
ders, tank men, or water station en-
glneers to take the daily readings. On
the other hand, If the survey could
be relieved OF the cost Of daily su-
pervlslon Of the guages, 1t would be
able to carry on the more technical
parts of the undertaking.
The information which the rail-
roads will obtain II this plan is put
into operation is of immense value
to them.
The surveys figures on floods have
always been accepted by the courts
as prima facie evidence. If the be-
lief Of the railroad authorities is we'll
founded, their cooperation with the
survey enabling 1t to extend its opera
tions to their fields will result in big
savings to them.
The idea Of cooperation as to
floods originated with the engineer
ing departments Of the railroads
themselves, Representatives of these
departments of n number of roads
held a conference with representa-
tlves of the survey. in Chicago last
June, and at that time the survey
agreed to interview the proper rail-
road authorities concerning a basis OF
cooperation.
The survey has further suggested to
the railroads that they supply it with
all information thy may have on hand
concerning the character of the va
rlous drainage areas above their
bridges. Some Of the roads have col
lected, at great expense. large
amount Of valuable information,
which could be made of high value
to all the railroads If it were gather
ed together and compiled.
This material would also contrib
ute largely to the general study Of
the water resources Of the country
which the survey has been carrying
out for a number of years and upon
which 1t is particularly busy just now
in the compilation of all information
along these lines for the use of the
National Conservation commission.

Washington, Sept. 2S-Dlrector
George Otis Smith, of the United
States Geological survey mas invited
officers of the leading railroads Of the
country to a conference on cooper
tive plan by which it Is expected the
railroads Will be able to save thou
sands OF dollars a year. The plan
also contemplates most effective as
sistance to the Government on the
part Of railroads. The time and place
Of the proposed conference is to be
agreed on later.
The scheme, which has already
been approved by number Of the
engineers Of big lines, is one for the
gathering of facts as to the amount Of
water flowing in the rivers Of the
country under certain conditions and
In different periods Of the year.
Naturally, the railroads. have been
chief sufferers from floods in the
basins where their tracks lie. They
have suffered not only from damage to
their own property, but they have
been sued by other corporations and
private citizens on the ground that
their bridges and culverts were the
causes of flood damage.
The railroad authorities have felt
that many judgments against the
the roads might not have been rem
dered If they had been able to pro-
duce authentic figures on floods. But
they have not been able to do this
The national conservation commits
sion has been advised OF the proposed
plan and whatever results come from
Il will undoubtedly be considered by
the commission at its joint meeting
with the governors Of the states, or
their representatives, here next De-
cember.
The survey suggests that the rail-
road companies establish guages on
their bridges and culverts and appoint
some of their employees to take daily
readings. The survey agrees to have
its experts make frequent visits to
these stations and take actual cur
rent meter measurements so that a
rating table of each channel will be
available.
For many years the survey has been
studying the difference in the flow
Of rivers in various basins in the
country. At present It is engaged in
putting the information gained by It's
study into shape for the use of the
Conservation commission, to-
gether with other information which
Il is gathering. especially for the in
yentory of the country's natural re-

PORTLAND STOCK SHOW
Is FINANCIAL FAILURE

Portland, Sept. 2S.-Saturday saw
the close of the First Pacific Nation
al Livestock Show-a huge success
but a financial failure.
Although a more splendid exhibit
of stock was never seen in oregon,
although record after record was
smashed in the racing events at the
Country Club park, public enthusi-
asm over the show was too small to
permit profits, and in fact left a de-
ficit of a small sum.
Portland, however, expects to con-
tinue the exhibition. Already a plan
is ON foot whereby through selling
season tickets in advance funds
will be secured to guarantee the sue
cess of the scheme.
