We have been freauentlv asked, (aid
Mr. Steven, "whether or not th Geolog
ical Survey would male a literal oppoint
ment of fund for making hydrographic
urveyt .. in Oregon provided
the tat would make appropriation, to
co-operate in this work. I am authorized
to ay that the Geographical Survey wnl
meet anv reasonable appropriation with
a like apportionment from federal fund
"The State of Oregon ha thousand

of co-operating with th government to

abov figures.
. "Over thre-fourth of th ntir con
gressional appropriations for this work is
being spent east of the Mississippi . river
for no other reason than that the eastern
states have been ager to avail themselvts
of tha advantas of coo Deration.
As a matter of fact th western states
on account of the undeveloped state of its
natural resources, oueht to receiv th
lion's share of this appropriation. i The
way i clear, cooperate.

Yours truly

th streams are stoned an inexhaustible
supply of power that will be in distance
long after the coal mines are exhausted.
There it sufficient water available to
retain much of the ard lands could it be
brought to economical development
"But before any development can d
made alone these line two thing are ab
solutely essential as they are at the ery
foundation of all develoDment. 1 reier to
th; topographic maps and to systtmatic
stream measurements.
Oregon has 96,030 squar mile of
which onlv one sixth has been mapped
These maps published by th United
States Geological Survev are called Quad
rangles, cover an area one-half or on
mtartarof a sauar decree of latitude
and longitude or 200 to 700 square miles
risnandmir unon natural conditions. On
these maDs are. shown all the roads, rail
roads, trails, towns, posto fices, houses,
streams, lakes, marshes, mines, snatts,
r.tinn. townsh'iD lines, cornerstones and
in addition contains lines, connecting point
of equal elevation. They are sold at in
nominal once of 5 cents per copy or 5
cents where purchased in quantities of
100 or more.
In addition to this work, the hydro-
graphic Branch of the Geographical Sur
vey is encased in the systematic measure
ments of the flow of water in the streams
and on many of the more important rivers
of the state among them the Grande
Ronde. Steps are taken to obtain records
of dailv flow thru the entire year.
single measurement or a single year's
rr.nrd is not sufficient to obtain reliable
data as the discharee of streams vary as
widely as the rainfall and depend largely
upon it. It is therefore necessary to keep
up systematic measurements from year
to year. The water in the streams is a
franchise belonging exclusively to the
state to be as rigorously guarded as any
nther state Drooerty. It can be surveyed
..j ninuH a trnlv as land, and should
be given away without the public reaping
In order to develop ana seme me vast
unoccupied areas, it is necessary that the
state should have at the earliest date
possible, a map to show the settler what
the country is like and indicate, the possi
bility of reclaiming the arid regions by
irrigation.
That the reclamation has been able to
accomplish so much in the short time
since its organization is due largely to the
factthat toooeraphic mapsof a very large
area of the country to be irrigated, were
already in existence, aud a great many
streams had already been surveyed and
measured. The Federal Government has
been liberal in its appropriation for topo
graphic surveys and for investigation of
the water supply, but the time has now
come when it would be advantageous and
nrnfitatle of the state of Oregon to ap
propriate funds for cooperation with th
U. S. Geological Survey, botn in order to
madiatB the mapping of it unsurveyed
areas and investigation of its water sup
ply. Massachusetts. Rhode island, ana
Connetieut are entirely mapped and have
