Has blazed the route for Lee,

ellis Northern Brother:)
Just make it two, old fellow,
want to stand once more
Beneath the old flag with you;
As in the days of yore.
Our forefathers stood together
And fought on land and sea
The battles fierce that made us
A nation of the free.
/ whipped you down at Vicksburg,
You licked me at Bull Run.
On many a field we struggled
When neither victory won.
You wore the grey of the Southland
| wore the Northern blue,
Like men we did our duty
When screaming bullets flew.
Four years we fought like devils,
But when the war was done,
Your hand met mine in friendly clasp
Our hearts beat as one;
And now when danger threatens
No North, no South we know,
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe.
My head, like yours, is frosty,
Old age is creeping on;
Lies sun is lower sinking,
My day will soon be gone,
But if our country's honor
Need once again her son,
I'm ready, too, old fellow,
So get another gun.

Surface Waters of the Great Basin.

In the interior of the western part of
the United States, lying between the
Rocky mountains on the east and the
Sierra Nevada on the west and extending
from southern Oregon TO southern Cali
fornia, is an area drained by streams.
Many Of these streams discharge into
lakes whose waters are salty or at least
brackish Others flow into areas of arid
sands, by which they are absorbed Prac-
tically all the streams are perennial
+ at their sources, but few of them carry
water from source to mouth throughout
the year. for most of these that might
otherwise be perennial are diverted and
the water used for irrigation, SO that
little water is wasted into their sinks.
In this region water may truly be said
! to be the most valuable mineral re-
sources, and the necessity of putting to
beneficial use the entire available sup.
ply is fully realized Full development
of the remarkable resources of the guam
tity of water the streams may be- ex.
pected TO yield, and the acquisition and
dissemination of that knowledge is part
of the duty assigned by law to the Unit
ed States geological survey, department
of the interior
Among the rivers of the Great Basin
that have been studied by the engineers
of the geological survey are Bear, Webre
and Jordan rivers, which discharge into
Great Salt Lake; Sewer river, whose
water would reach Sewer lake if il were
not sc. fully used in the basin above the
lake; Owen river, whose waters are car
ried by an immense conduit more than
300 miles to the city of Los Angeles,
where it furnishes the municipal supply |
Walker river and its tributaries which |
drain areas on the eastern slopes of the /
Sierra Nevada in Nevada and Califor +
MAJ Carson and Humboldt rivers, whose
waters are of vital interest to northern
and easter Nevada; and Truckec river,
:he outlet TO Lake Tahoe.
The work of gaging streams was begun
by the geological survey in 1855 in con-
nection with special studies of water
supply Tor irrigation, and measurements
of flow have been made at about 3,400
points in the United States. The results
of the work are published annually in
the surveys series of wster-supply pa
pers, one of which, No. 800, contains The
records collected in the Great Basin in
1914. These records were collected by
