Irrigation
How to Measure
Flow of w alter
Irrigation
By STANLEY w. HOWARD

water becomes SIlOTl, DIS II QOGS LII d
good many areas of Montana during
the latter part of July and August,
interest increases in water measure
ment.
Water users want to know whether |
they are getting their allotted share
and whether the water is being
equitably divided among the water
users concerned.
Under many water delivery sys-
TENS there are no water measuring
devices. Under others, water meas
uring weirs were installed many
years ago but are no longer neasur-
ing accurately.
Why do many of these weirs no
longer measure accurately? To
answer this question it might be
well to explain the conditions that
are necessary to have accurate meas
urements of water that passes
through either d rectangular or
trapezoidal weir.
Factors for Accuracy
First the weir must be installed
so that it is perpendicular to the flow
of the stream.
The crest of the weir must be
level so that the water passing over
it will be the same depth at all
points. The crest of the weir must
also be high enough so the water
will fall freely below the weir, leav-
ing an air space under the over
falling sheet of water. The weir
should be set so that the sides are
vertical.
The ditch upstream from the weir
should be maintained to provide a
long pool sufficiently wide and deep
to permit an even and smooth flow
of current that doesn't exceed a
velocity of over y of a linear foot
per second. The bottom of the pool
should be about twice as far below
the weir crest as the depth of the
water flowing over the weir.
Distance from the sides of the weir
orifice to the ditch should be twice
the maximum depth of the water
flowing over the weir. Measure
ment of the depth of water over the
weir must be made far enough from
the notch so that the downward
curve of the water as it approaches
the weir won't effect the readings.
The crest and sides of these types
of weirs should be sharp edged and
| not over one-fourth inch in thick
ness.
Keep Channel Clean
| 1t is easy to understand that il
| these weir conditions aren't main.
| tanned, weir reading will be mac.
| curate. One thing that is often neg.
| lected in maintaining a weir is keep
| ing the channel clean above the wei
| bulkhead. If sand and silt are al
| lowed to accumulate in front of the
l weir the velocity of the water goins
/ through the weir will increase anc
| the weir will over-register, mean
| ing that more water is going through
| the weir than the weir readin,
| would indicate.

| as accurate as any if the proper con
| ditions are maintained. Unfortu
| nately, conditions for accurate meas
| urement aren't always maintaine,
| and dissatisfaction results.

Liquor Store0pposed
Near Soldiers Home

Gen. Wade H. Haislip, gov
ernor of the Soldiers Home, and
other officials of the home have
tolo the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board they do not want a
package store at 225 Upshur
street NV, just outside the
home gate.
Gen. HaiSlip told the board at
a hearing yesterday, that liquor
has been a problem at the home
for the past 100 years, and the
residents of the home have to
sign an agreement that they will
not bring liquor into the grounds
or buildings. He said the $500
residents of the home require
close supervision where liquor is
concerned.
1t was to cope with evils, Gen.
Haislip said, that a few years
ago officials of the home de-
cided to serve beer in the cam
teen at the home. He said this
has resulted in a great improve
ment in the conduct of the resi-
dents.
Brig Gen. Harry D. Offutt.
chief surgeon at the home, said
alcoholism is one of the main
reasons many of the residents
are in the hospital. He said Ii
quor just outside the gate would
be too big a temptation for some
of the men.
The Rev. H. A. McCallum, and
the Rev. John P. Sweeney, chap
lains at the home, also opposed
the license request.
Church and civic group in the
area also protested.
Isadore Egbert, proprietor of a
package liquor store at 1903 u
street NV, asked the board to
transfer his liquor license from
the U streets address to Upshur
street. The board took the case
under advisement.

Dead Man Revived h,

Steve Milinchuk "died" Sunday

The 22-year-old asthma vic.
tim collapsed Sunday at his
home. He was rushed to a hos
pital. where he was declared
dead on arrival.
His heart had stopped. A
lung had collapsed and his body
was purplish-black.
DR.. Francis j. Bean, superin-

clans and a chest surgeon in
jected adrenalin directly into the
heart.
Two minutes later there was q
faint flicker of the pulse. Oxy-
gen stimulated faint breathing
In 80 minutes the respiratory
and heart functions had been
restored sufficiently to permit
surgery.
The left lung had burst and
air had filled the chest cavity,
pushing organs behind the ribs
far over on the right side.
Hours of surgery and post op-
erative treatment followed.
Eighteen hours after his COL
lapse Mr.. Milinchuk regained

yesterday urged a bold religious
Point Four program to combat
"the spectre of McCarthyism"

The rabbi, DR.. Maurice N.

which America cherishes."
DR.. Eisendrath is one of three

DR.. Eisendrath, a co-chairman
of the commission on religious
