flow means that 1.6S4.SOO gallons
of water pass given point in a per-
iod of "a hours.
Three hundred and twenty inches
of water in a flow means that a grand
pass given point in a period of "a
hours. This amount of water is
flowing in the channel OF Hannah
creek every "a hours during this,
the winter season-the low ebb sea-
son of Hannah creek.
Engineer Stokes states that on a
previous visit to Hannah creek he
had estimated that per cent of
the flow of water that passed the
point of the intake was lost before
reaching the point where the meas
urement was made yesterday. There
fore, 1t can be seen that the meas
urement made yesterday is. II any.
a little less than the actual average
flow at this time of the year.
The measurement made by Engi-
neer Stokes yesterday must stand as
state record from now on. 1t Is
the first Official measurement made
during. the winter of the flow of
Hannah creek, for many years at
least. 1t was made with a standard
machine approved by the govern
ment.
Yesterday wednesday,. accord
ing to the records of B. w. Veider.
superintendent OF the city water
works, there was furnished by the
city water works for the use of the
city and citizens a total of 100000
gallons of water. This is an average
supply for day In the winter in the
city. Therefore, the city is now us
ing only about rs inches of water
each 2i hours.
CONSEQUENTLY, THERE is
ENOUGH WATER IN HANNAH

WATER TO SUPPLY A CITY OF

The daily sentinel., 1908-01-30

This announcement Is not made
on a foundation of hearsay, rumor
or unverified report. 1t is made up
on official knowledge and informa-
tion.
Arthur H. Stokes, the well known
district irrigation engineer and one
of the best qualified and most con-
scientious experts on water matters
In Colorado, and J. f. O'Malley. the
city engineer of Grand Junction, act
ing under Instructions from the city
council, yesterday drove from the
city to a point far up on Hannah
creek for the purpose of making an
official measurement of the water
flowing In Hannah creek.
1t must be borne in mind that this
Is the time of year when the flow of
water In Hannah creek or in any 9TH
er mountain stream Is lower than at
any other time of the year. The
winter season, the extreme winter
season, Is the low ebb season for all
mountain streams. This Is natural
and to be expected. In the latter
part OF January, or at the first OF
February, Hannah creek has always
been at its very lowest stage. The
same can be said of all other rivers
and creeks in western Colorado.
Messrs. Stokes and O'Malley drove
along the creek bank for many miles.
At a point near the Swain ranch and
at about 3 VI miles below or this
side OF the site OF the proposed In
take for the Grand Junction noun
tain water system, Mr.. Stokes placed
his standard measuring machine and
measured the flow of the water.
Mr.. Stokes stated to The Sentinel
this morning that at this point there
is perfectly free flow of water
There are no unnatural impediments
and 1t is an ideal place to get a meas
urement OF the average and actua
flow.
Upon working out the details OF
the measurement Engineer Stoke.
found that the flow in Hannah creel
on January 20 yesterday. a day
on which the creek Is at the mini
mum flow. amounted to $50 inche.
of water.

other similar purposes is the great

maximum record was reached last
summer. On few days has as much
as 100000 gallons of water been
used.
THEREFORE. THERE is FLOW
ING IN HANNAH CREEK AT THE
PRESENT TIME, WHEN THE
CREEK is AT ITS LOWEST. SUF-
FICIENT WATER TO SUPPLY A
CITY TWICE THE SIZE OF GRAND
JUNCTION WITH ALL THE WAT
Err IT. NEEDED IN THE VERY
MIDST OF THE HEATED OR SUM-
MER SEASON.
During the spring and summer, as
Is well known, from 600 to 500 inch
es of water flows in Hannah creek
so vast an amount that the absence
of the water necessary to supply this
city's needs would hardly be noticed.
During the heated season. when
more water Is used than at any 9TH
er time. Grand Junction has never
at any time used more than 125 inch
es of water.
And now, will the knockers of the
Grand Junction mountain water sys-
tenn, and particularly the knockers
of the proposition to get the supply
of pure, cold. clear mountain water
from Hannah creek. cease to knock.
and to be little in the face OF the re-
suit of this important official investi-
cation? 1t remains to be seen.
Engineer Stokes and Engineer
O'Malley reached home last night at
about o'clock.
The claim made by some of the
knockers that Hannah creek freezes
up tight in the winter has been shat
tered time and again this winter,
and the engineers report that only
here and there would layer of ice
be found extending clear across the
stream, and it could be easily brok-
en-. Hannah creek has never had
its flow stopped by hard freezes in
the history of any of the old-time res
idents. There is too much water.
moving too rapidly to make such a
condition possible.
