GAUGING THE FLOW OF WEALTH Cfficial Measurements of Streama Tribu- tary to the Arid Belt, GOTHAM MARVELS AT WESTERN GROWTH, “The Bonst Wonder of the Nation and the of the World The Week's Events in the Pro- gressive West, The elevonth annual report of the United States Geographical survey contains valua ble data concorning the quantity of water available for irrigation in westorn streams. “Tho Investigation, covering a poriod of two years, was conducted with a view to deter- mining the hydrography and topography of the urid belt. The result of the work isa vast amount of information - ralative to the diccharge of the more important streams, be- sides showing the proportion to run off per square mile of catchment basin, The object of tne hydrographical aurvey was the solu tion of practical problems bearing on the vreliminary study of the varfous irrigation projects ¢ . of the first poiuts to be settled iu the considoration of any irriga- tion provlem is the source of wal supply. It 1s nec ry to know not ouly the average flow of the stream from which this supply is 1o be derived but also its minimum discharge aud its nighest maximum flood dischafye, ‘T'he determination of these quantities affects materially the dimensions given to a canal or storawo voir and the character of the diversion weir or impounding dam Measurement of various streams show the following results in second-feet: Yellow- stone river, varying from 4,375 to 10,08 dur- ing the irrigation season: Gallatin river, 760 1o 2,600; Madison riv 1,500 to 5,000; Jeffer- son river, 50 to 577 second feet; Missouri below Groat Walls, Mont., to 12,500; Arkansas river, Canon City, Col., 220 to 2,000. In ho the Bear river was gauged during 1550 and 1860 at Battle Creel, also near Colliston in Utab, Tne gauging station at this placo was muintained near tio head of Bear River canal, and shows a mean minimum discharge river during the irvigating period second-feet in July, 1880, ana a mean maximum aischarge during the same poriod of 7,424 second-feet May, 1500, Tho Ogden river, the waters of which are now being utilized for irrigation, was gauged at Powder Mills, Utab, and’ showed a mean minimum discharge during the irrigation period of 512 second-feet in August, 1500, and & mean maximum dlscharge of 1,81% second-feet in May of the same year. In Utah gaugings wera also conducted 1850 and 1560 on the Webber river at Dovil Gate; on the American fork: on the Proyo river near Provo: on the Spanish fork, and on the Sovier river near Leamington. In Idaho the porth fork of the Sbake river was gauged during 180 when its mean maximum amounted to 1,450 second-feet in mean maximum discharge to 4,380 second-feev in May, The Kall river, a tributary of the Snake, was gauged in tho canon, and the Tcton river at Chase ranch. ‘The m-in_Snake river below the forks was gauged at Bagle Rock during 1859 and 1800, when its mean minimum discharge during the irrigating season amounted to 2,506 sec- ond-feet in August, 1550, and its mean maxi- mum dischurge to'35,606 second-feet in May, 18%0. In addition to these gaugings others were conducted in Idaho on the Wood river. at Hailey; on the Owyheo river, at Riggsby, Ore.; on the Malheur, at Valley, Ore., and on the Weiser river, at Canon, Idabo, The Rise of the West. The growth of the west sinco the war has been the boast of the nation and the marvel of the world, says tho New York Herald. History uffords no parallel to its increase in population, development iu agriculture, advance in material prosperity, magio rise of great citios and addition of new states, In 1870, when the first foderal census after the war was taken, thero was, proporly speaking, twelve western states, Today there are nineteen, Then the nggregato population of the west, including tho territories, was 13,000,000, ot about a third of the total population ' of ‘the country. Now it 13 more than 25,000,000, or nearly hulf of the whole. Since 1870 lllinois has increasod n the number of its people from 2,500,000 to nearly 4,000,000, Michigan from 1,000,000 to more than 2,000,000, Minnesota from less than 000, to 1,300,000, Nebraska from 122,000 to moro than 1,000,000, Kansas from 864,000 to 1,400.000, California from little over 500,000 0 1,200,000, Tiventy vears ago Chicago had less than 300,000 inhabitants. Today it boasts more than 1,000,000, while the west is dotted with groat flourishing cities where insignificant towns appeared in 1870, Newspaper Man in Trouble. Colonel Will L. Visscher, the well known nowspaper man, who hustied for news on the Omaha Herald in the seventies, and whose glowing physiognomy is familiar to everybody in this section, is now chasing tho festive coin in Fairhaven, Wash, He is aditor of the Faivhaven Herald, out his hfo is far from boing u summer’s dream. Dis- patches represent him to be in mortal dread of unknown enemies, who are making thrents against bis lifo and property. Last Monday night while he was away his watch dog was killed, and when he arrived he found a notico pinned on to the door warning him that ho would be killed if he stayed in Fair- haven. That night nearly ail the windows in the frout of his bouse were broken, and in the morning he found & note on his door in which he was called the vilest n.mes and ending with, “Leave town or your house will be burned over your head and you wili be killed." It is thought that the mysterious assaults and threats como from_some one he has lam- pooned in Lis paper. Perbaps they are in- spired by the local gus company. Tho pros- ence of the colonel in a livo town causes a sorious reduction of the municipal gas bill. Save the Timber, Parties who have made a tour of inspec- tion of the forests of the Sierra Novadas de- clare that the only way to save the timber lanus from destruction is to withhola all mountain timber lands now unsold aud make asories of resorvations from Shasta to the new Sequoia park. All the high Sierras about the Yosomite must be reserved soon, or the timber will be ruined. As It is, the timber is becoming so thin on these high plateaus about the Yosemita that the snow molts rapidly, and most of the waterfalls in the famous valley ure dry by midsumme! The work of destruction is going on at a 1ike rate all ovor the mountains of the west. Thousands of acres of mountain have boon strippea of timber, aud there is no imme diate prospect of checking the wholesale vaudalism. A law passed by the last con- gress placed & premium on this crime. It permits timber cutting on governmont lands “ifor domestic, manufacturing and mining purposes,” thoreby throwing down all bar- riers w tho denudation of the mountains by mercenaries who market the product. Butte's Triumph. ‘The brief war waged by the authorities of Butto, Mont., against “heap roasting” by local smelters closed successfully, and the residents now breathe easior. The smelters io the vicinity were ii the habit of roasting their ores in beaps, The fumes from these heaps, ndded to those from the smeltors, make the town very sickly, and au ordinance was passed to suppress the heap roasting procoss. ke mine owners, bowever, wero naifforent to the effects of their practices on human life and fought the ordinance, with the result of provoking the « 1tizens to forcible . action to suppress the nuisance. As the peoplo were determined the smelter owners avolded a conflict by promptly putting out the fires.

Benator Casoy of North Dakota expresses tho beliof that “tne favms of the future in this country will be large oues rather than swall ones. Farming becowes more of a busiuess every year,” he says, “and the out 109k is that from uow on farming will be one of the bost payiog industries of the United Blates. Thedsy of cheap lauds is passing away. Thero is very littie unoccupled gov ornment land left which s worth anything, wod tho day has como whon the prices of ceronls must rise and the people must pay the farmers what their products are worth.

As it is now it does not pay to raise wheat in_most parts of the United States.

The famous contest for possession of the Davis millions of Butte is practically at an end, negotiations for a settloment of claims of the rival heirs having reached a point that insures a satisfactory settlement. The Davis will contest was 0no of the most stubbornly fought that ever held tho atten- tion of a court in tho west. Tho amount in- voived is said to be over £5,000,000, and con sists of valuable mining property in and about Butte, Mont. Davis died in Mav 1500, and the contest for his financial i began tho following September in the district court of Butte, Siuch eminent counsel as Robert G.

After numerous de- lays the trial bewan last July and was con- cluded in six weoks, resulting in a disagroe- ment of the jury. The enormous cost of another trial doubt- 1ps brought the contending heirs to their senses, and an amicable termination of the contest outside of the courts will be effected in the course ot a few weeks, Nebraska.
