METHOD GIVEN FOR
MEASURING A RIVER

The United States Geological Survey
frequently received letters inquiring
for some simple method of determn-
ing the approximate flow of streams or
small rivers. 1t is believed that the
following instructions my be of some
value to those who Tor any reason wish
to determine the velocity or volume of
a stream.
To ascertain the velocity of the
stream choose a place where the chan
mel is straight for 100 to 200 feet and
has nearly constant width and depth /;
lay off on the bank line so or 100 feet
in length, marking each end then
allow small chips to float down the
stream, by one of the methods de-
scribed below. noting the time required
for these TO traverse the distance laid
off on the bank. The surface velocity
in feet per second is obtained by di-
vidng the distance in feet passed over
by the float by the time in seconds it
takes the float to travel this distance.
The average of several such determin-
ationS will give the mean surface
velocity of the stream. This result
multiplied by the coeffieient 0,S0 gives
very nearly the mean velocity of the
stream.
To obtain the area of the cross sec
tiou Of the stream, stretch tape from
shore to shore and take the depth of
the stream at intervals of to feet.
The average of the depths may be
assumed as the mean depth of the
stream. This average multiplied by
the total width will give the area of
the cross section of the stream in
square feet.
The discharge is found by multiply
ing this cross-section area by the mean
velocity. as obtained by the float
measurements, the result giving the
discharge in second-feet. or, in other
words. the number of cubic feet flow
ing past the point of measurement
each second.
In determining the velocity for small
streams aud when only approximate
results are desired the float is placed
IN the center of the stream only. For
larger streams and when greater ac-
curacy is desired a tape is stretched
across the stream and the distance
between the banks is divided into a
number Of equal spaces or sections.
Floats are then allowed to drift down
the stream as near as possible in the

Where the West BeginS.

Out where the handelasp's little
stronger,
Out where smile dwels little
longer,
That's where the West begins.
out where the sun is a little brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are trihe

Where the bonds of home are a wee bit

That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are trihe bluer,
Out where friendships little truer.
That's where the West begins
Out where a fresher breeze is blowing.
Where there's laughter in every

Where there's more of reaping and less
of sowing
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are
aching

Where there's more of singing and less

Where there's more Of giving and less

kelSO Forms Union.

The fruit growers of KelSo last Fri.
day formed a selling union very similar
to that of the Hood River Union.
although the district as yet is produc-
ing only small quantity of CONNER
eial fruit. ii. c. Ritz. of Better Fruit,
was present fer the meeting and
delivered an address on the most sue
cessful methods for unions to follow.
The kelso growers for the most part
are owners Of tracts devoted to the
growing of agricultural products and
dairying. However, each year they
are devoting more and more land to
fruit. The product has already reached
the point where the home demands is
supplied and the union was formed to
find foreign markets.

FRUIT STATISTICS FOR
PAST TWO YEARS

Comparative statistics compiled by
r. G. Dunn 4 Co. on the fruit crops Of
the past two years show that during
the year 1910 the state of Oregon
prduced 1850, coo boxes of apples of
a value Of two and q half million doI-
lars, while for 1911 the crop totalled
I,l00, 600 boxes, for which was received
81, ,094, coo. The past year, an off
year was proportionately small because
of the extra large crop of 1910. The
total valuation of all fruits for the
respective two years was S6, Cos, 500
and S5,6l2,0O The figures of 1910
were submitted by W. X. Newell.
president of the State Horticultural
Society. The figures for 1911, which
appear below, while unofficial, are con-
sidered substantially correct:

fcDIudty 1, AViE'
Mr.. Horace G. Kaufman,
See'y Hood River Commercial Club,
Hood River, Oregon.
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of yours
of the oath inst, in which you ask for
information regarding the Hood River
Valleys fruit display aboard the West
ern Governors Special, and in reply
wish to say that | believe the Hood
River district received more advertis-
ing than any other section of the West.
Your fruit exhibit was good one and
well marked and displayed. The ex-
tensive and systematic advertising you
have been doing the past few years is,
like your trees, bearing good fruit.
Hood River is a name that appears
to be familiar to most every one
throughout the East-especially those
interested in fruit growing.
While discussing this matter, wish
to say that having established an envi-
able reputation for the production of
the best fruits you should look to 1t
that this reputation is maintained.
This can only be done through hewing
to the line in the future, as you have
done in the past, and making the brand
"Hood River" stand always for moth
ing but the best.
Yours truly,
(signed) Oswald West.

The Concluding Paragraph of LincOln'S
Inaugural Address.

am loath to close. We are not enc
mics, but friends. We must not be
enemies. Though passion may have
strained, it must not break our bonds
of affection The mystic chords of
memory, stretching from every battle
field and patriot grave to every living
heart and hearthstone all over this
broad land, will yet swell the chorus of
the Union, when again touched, as they
surely will be- by the better angels of
our nature.
AT the recent convention in New
York City Of the American Manufac-
turers' Export association, a speaker
who had just made a 49, 900 mile trip
said. ''In all the countries | visited
